Blog Award.......

I received this wonderful blog award from the greatest blogger I know - Char.

I love reading Char's blog - she's always so honest and I absolutely love reading all the special things that Jonah has been up to. I'm so jealous of her scrap booking abilities - she puts me to shame! Her creations are wonderful and you can just feel the love that she puts into every page.

I'm supposed to pass this award along to 7 bloggers who write from their heart. My awards go to:

1. Missy

2. Amanda

3. AmandaZ

4. Mandie

5. Jill

6. Char

7. Leslie



I am also to provide you with ten things that you may not know about me:



1. I'm a perpetual planner. It's not a gift, it's a curse! I don't like the unknown or surprises - that's why I plan everything! (Surprise, surprise - right, Missy?)



2. I'm a worrier...not warrior. I worry - about everything. The things I can change, the things I can't - everything! I so wish I could be a man for a few days so nothing would ever bother me.



3. I liked K5 homework far more than 1st grade homework. I like when the only assignments that came home were to write letters & numbers and color. Boy, do I miss those days when homework could be finished in just a few minutes. Lord only knows what it's in store for us next year when Jenkins is in 2nd grade.



4. I have an addiction to ice cream. Specifically, Ben & Jerry's Creme Brulee! That stuff is HEAVENLY!



5. I have to wear socks in hotels and condos. I just feel like there are tons of germs on the floor and it grosses me out!



6. I've been to Disney World 14 times! Thirteen times as a kid/teenager and once with Johnny & Jenkins. I feel like trip #15 is coming up soon.



7. I don't like to fly. I love seeing the world from the view of a plane but I worry about something breaking in mid-flight. (years of working for a stainless steel company will do that to you). I also have a tendency to look at every person as they board the plane. If something is going to happen, I could pretty much predict who it is and would be able to give a pretty accurate description of the villain. (see...there is that perpetual planning thing again!)


8. I have to sleep with cover pulled up to my chin. It doesn't matter if it's 105F or 5F - I've got to have at least a bed sheet covering me - can't sleep without it.



9. I NEVER sleep through the night - NEVER! My mind doesn't shut off like a normal person so I usually wake up at the oddest hours thinking of things that (1) I need to do (2) I forgot to do (3) will solve a problem I have at work or (4) upcoming events like audits, etc.



10. I love my family more than anything in this world! I have the most amazing parents - who love and support me endlessly. My sisters are my best friends....and their kids are MY kids! There isn't anything I wouldn't do for my family and friends. Johnny and Jenkins are my life! I'm blessed far more than I ever deserve - but you probably already knew that!
