My First Blog Award,

Or, Too Bad You've Read With Me This Far, This Might Get Boring. . .

I’ve received the Honest Scrap Award, from Shelly. You can thank her if you didn't want to know any of these facts about me. Part of the acceptance of this award involves posting 10 facts that not many people know about me, and the other part involves bestowing the award on 7 more bloggers.

So... here’s a list of 10 things that most people don’t know about me. (It had to me most people because my mom reads this blog, and that's kind of unfair.)

1. I am kind of addicted to this blogging thing.
2. In fact, I "write" many more blogs than ever get published.
3. I really love reading.
4. I can read novels really fast. Text books, notsomuch.
5. I am actually a Yankee (I know, I sound Texan)
6. I have lived in this city longer than anywhere else in my life.
7. I am a terrible band-waggon-jumper. It's part of the reason why I blog. Everyone else does. . . .
8. I am severely directionally challenged. It's a disability. Jeremy thinks it's cute, but only because I've never gotten lost with his children. Yet.
9. I don't believe in wearing boring socks. I have to be so dressed up all day, I think socks are for expressing myself.
10. I can quote most lines from old Scrubs episodes. It's a gift, really.

So, for those lucky 7 who have been tagged. . . hmmm. . .

Four Things

I got this from a friend, and I thought it would be interesting. Mostly because I want to see what the three people who read this blog answer. So here it goes.

Four things about me that you might not know:
1. I have climbed a mountain in Colorado over the course of a week and pitched a tent every night. It was cold.
2. I enjoy white water rafting.

4. I really love my job.
