My very own Beautiful Blogger Award!

Stephanie over at The Daily Blarg thinks I’m super nifty for some reason. Why else would she bestow on little ol’ me such a fabulous, much sought-after award? Thank you, Stephanie!

Now it’s my turn to spread the beautiful blogging love. Here are the rules:

1.  Thank the person who nominated you for this award and insert a link to their blog. {Done}
2.  Pass on the award to about 15 other bloggers who you recently discovered and think are great! {See below}
3.  Contact the other bloggers and let them know they have been chosen for this award. {I’ll follow though, promise!}
4.  Say 7 things about yourself. {See below}

…
Seven things about me you can add to your “gee whiz!” box

1.  I love a good, juicy, greasy Little Bacon Cheeseburger from Five Guys Burgers & Fries, especially if it’s topped with lettuce, tomato, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms and mayo. A side of fries—sometimes Cajun—is a must too!

2.  I am a California girl and don’t do snow. I survive Utah winters with lots of hot chocolate or “tall skinny sugar-free cinnamon dolce steamer no whip” from Starbucks.

3.  I’ve used Lamaze (twice), hypnobirthing and Jack Johnson to get me through natural childbirth. I barely made it to the hospital in time with our first baby. You try NOT pushing while waiting for his doctor to get his butt to the hospital!

4.  I haven’t always had short hair but I love it for two reasons. One, I don’t have time for hair and makeup and makeup is most important so I need an easy hairstyle. Two, short hair like mine isn’t common around these parts and I love being unique—and I love the compliments. Hey, we’re being honest here, right?

5.  I had an outfit in high school that was my favorite and I wore it every Friday. It was my official Friday outfit. (If you’re a high school friend and remember that outfit, please don’t tell me. It’s humiliating.)

6.  I swam on the high school swim team. My favorite events were freestyle, butterfly and IM.

7.  I have a serious addiction to chocolate (Twix, Mounds, Reduced Fat Oreos, brownies, cake), jeans and shoes. Okay, that’s nothing new but admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery.
