What a Surprise!!

 I was surprised and flattered this morning to see I had been nominated for the Beautiful Blogger Award!!

THANK YOU to Bonnie of Turds in My Kitchen for the nomination! Check out her blog, she always has something funny and insightful to say:)

As with anything, there are some rules...

1. Thank the person who nominated you
2. Copy the award and paste it to your blog
3. Link the person who nominated you.
4. List 7 interesting things about yourself.
5. Nominate 7 other beautiful bloggers.

Seven interesting facts about me:

1. I have used a bathroom in a Mexican prison. Yup. Wasn't that bad either!
2. I have been to Disneyland more times than I can count. I have even been in the parade! And no, I don't live in California. My dad just really, really, really liked Disneyland! Can't wait to take my kids there one day and pass on the tradition.
3. I had a boy cat named Susie (yes, a boy named Sue) growing up that lived to be 18 years old.
4. One of my best friends from high school married my younger brother. Pretty great to have a sister-in-law who is also your friend.
5. I still talk to my mom almost everyday. She is my closest friend and greatest role model.
6. I found my first gray hair yesterday...depressing.
7. I have had cats my entire life and don't remember a time that I had to change the litter box. Hopefully I don't become a crazy cat lady in my old age, I won't know what to do with all the waste!
