Blog Award - For Me?

Yes, the coveted birkin and the coveted hair.

 I have been graced with The Versatile Blogger award from Danielle over at Project Danielle. How adorable is this girl? Her blog is stuffed full of product info and insights from her busy busy life. She makes me feel like a total slacker with her working, mothering, boyfriend-wrangling, and schooling self. She manages all of that and her blog and a recent move and FINGERNAILS! Love you woman.

I am to share seven things you don't know about me.

Hmm . . . only seven? Or should I say - what haven't I blabbed about? Again, hmm . . .

1. I am the slowest woman in the morning. It can take me two hours to GET READY. WTF? I can go faster, but then something will distract me and . . . forget it. TWO HOURS! I blame it on my hair. Oh - and my brain.
2. I have the WORST hair. I am constantly on the search for the THING. The thing that will make it perfect. So far - nope. So I'll just sit here twisting it thank you very much.
3. In my head, I could be an interior decorator. Except for coming up with ideas endlessly. And dealing with clients that might disagree with me. Oh - and knowing EVERYTHING design there is to know. One more - admitting there is style beyond mid-century modern (say it isn't so??).
4. I have a lamp fetish. I stalk them like a criminal. I am mostly excited about our adding a den just because I get to find more lamps. Couple this fetish with a total aversion to overhead lighting. Could that be my age talking? No one looks good in overhead lighting.
5. I'm annoying - oh wait - many of you know this. But I bet you don't know the DEPTH of my annoying. For real. Serious. Don't make me show you. Just ask my husband.
6. I cannot get into an unmade bed. But apparently, webs hanging from the vaulted ceiling in our loft do not phase me. #lazymofo
7. I also have a handbag fetish. Good handbags. I crave them like a junkie. Love the designer ones, but vintage creeps in there as well. I would change handbags twice a day if the opportunity presented itself.

Let's get this party started! I'm off to stalk a few lamps with a freshly chosen handbag. Confession - I'm carrying a white one right now because the weather is so fine! Don't look at me like that.

Awards

Me, winning an award, really, yes, that's me. Don't make me hurt you.

I received the Going Places award from You're Lucky I Don't Have a Gun over at Things I Like to Eat. This girl is so sassy and funny that I am profoundly sad when there hasn't been a post for a few days. And we share a love for atomic dishware. I believe I could have given birth to her in a parallel universe.

The award stipulates stating where I would like to find myself in ten years.

Ten years? Will I still be alive? :)

Hopefully I'll have a job by then. And maybe a wee grandbaby or two. I hope I'm still driving Ruby, my Wrangler, driving Pup crazy, laughing at crazy crap, trying to be open-minded, and able to tell a story.


I also received the Blog with Substance award from the lovely and talented J.J. from over at The World According to J.J.

Again, check out her writings. She is just the kind of smart aleck that creeps into your heart and makes you glad you're a reader.

For this award I'm to sum up my blogging philosophy, motivation, and experience using five words.

Really? Five words? This could be tough. Especially since I haven't been very sassy myself for a while. Summer delight is sucking all the profound right out of me. I'm stuffed with sunny warmness and no angst. Ha!

So, here goes; my five words:

expressive
silly
cathartic
eye-opening
cool


Thanks also to Marla over at Butts and Ashes. She also gifted me with the ten years assignment, but no button to share. Just her delightful blog. Read her! Obey me!

Thank you, my fellow bloggers, for your nods of appreciation my way. It means more than I can express.
