Thanks Brittany Ann!

As soon as I posted my last “Catch up” post about receiving my first blog award, I went to read Ms. Brittany Ann’s Blog Living in the Moment, and realized I had won my second….The Fabulous Sugar Doll award :)  I’m so excited!  Not only is it my second award, but it has a fabulous name! :)  Thanks Brittany Ann!

Anyway, the rules of this one are that I have to tell you 10 things you may not know about me and then pass this on to 10 of my favorites.  This will be tough because I had a hard time coming up with 7 interesting facts, but I’m going to try :)

1. My high school mascot was a tiger, but our colors were red and white.  When I lived at home I collected things that were red and white and of course tigers.  Now that I’m at Alabama, I got to keep the red and white things, but had to trade the tigers in for elephants (if you’re not familiar with the SEC, 2 of our huge rivals are tigers so tigers are a no no :))
2. I have a problem saying no to opportunities, which is exactly why my resume is almost 3 pages long.
3. I LOVE gadgets and am a self-proclaimed gadget queen (works out perfectly since I’m a tech major right ;)) I could walk around Best Buy for hours and would be perfectly happy!
4. I’m not sure if it is the teacher in me or the “professional student”, but I ADORE tote bags.  I’m scared to count how many I have and when I go on trips, I tend to buy one that reminds me of that particular place i.e. A vintage Disney movie one from Disneyland, a one covered in, at the time, current Broadway musicals from NY, Chicago skyline from Chicago, etc.
5. I have been getting acrylic nails almost every month since I was in 11th grade (so about 7 years).  I’m that girl that has her manicurist on speed dial (what can I say, she’s amazing and the only one I’ll let touch my nails!)
6. I love seeing movies, but I rarely buy them because I hardly ever watch a movie more than once (unless it is a favorite, which I usually purchase :))
7. I truly believe I was born in the wrong time period.  I did Guys & Dolls in High School, and I fell in love with that time period and decided that I should have lived in the time of hats, finger waves, and guys in suits :) (The cast of “Guys & Dolls” pictured below.  I’m the first of the girls in pink and hey, I was a doll :))
8. I have a big heart, sometimes too big for my own good.  In elementary school, my mom would have to give me 3 times more money than I needed every day because I couldn’t stand for anyone not to be able to afford to go to the talent show or get snack that day.  I have been known to date guys because I felt sorry for them rather than because I loved them. I cry over everything and prefer giving gifts instead of receiving them.  This isn’t always a good thing, because I also tend to be the person that people walk all over because of this.
9. The majority of the time, I wear high heels.  I have bought a few pairs of flats, but I only wear them if it 1.) suits the outfit, or 2.) I am going to be doing a lot of walking and don’t want to wear the tips off my heels.  In fact, I wear them so much that even Alex doesn’t realize how short I am until I am in flats (and it never fails…he always says, “Wow, I didn’t realize you were that short” ;))
10. I am a huge perfectionist and although I’m fairly crafty, I tend to shy away from making stuff and certain projects because it brings so much frustration when I don’t get it right the first time. (I was the kid that would be almost finished with a drawing or assignment in school and would wad it up and throw it away because I wasn’t happy with it!)

Whew!  That was fun!!  I hope you enjoyed reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them!  Thanks again Brittany Ann!
