me? brilliant?

My buddy, Wendy, thinks so anyway.




Thanks, Wendy. This is my first award here in this newish little space. Now for the difficult task of passing this lovely little award along. It's not that I don't read a good many fantastic blogs, rather that I am such a lurker. Not many folks know me out there in blogland. I will happily pass this along to some of my favorite people and hope that they are pleased.

Patience at Knitting the Wind has supported me so kindly in my fledgling blogging efforts.

Katherine from Our Report Card. Well, she's Katherine, and she is my hero.

Mommylion at In a Tiny House has a fun and inspiring blog - And she let's me say hotel sex.

And finally, Stephanie from Throwing Marshmallows probably doesn't even know I exist, but she has been the source of incredible information for me.

And now, for the "acceptance speech," or 26 things you never knew you wanted to know about me.

A. attached or single? Attached.

B. best friend? My husband - without a doubt.

C. cake or pie? BOTH! Please, sir, may I have some more?

D. day of choice? Thursday - date day with my husband.

E. essential item? Must. Have. Coffee.

F. favorite color? Green

G. gummy bears or worms? Um. No thanks.

H. hometown? I am sure you couldn't even find it on a map.

I. favorite indulgence? Dark Chocolate paired with Cab Sav.

J. January or July? July. Unless I'm in the South.

K. kids? Three amazing children. 16, 8, and 5.

L. life isn't complete without? My husband. We complete each other.

M. marriage date? The Fourth of July - we are still making fireworks after all these years.

N. number of brothers & sisters? One older sister.

O. oranges or apples? Oranges.

P. phobias? Mice! Ewwww. What exactly is their purpose on this earth?

Q. quotes? And though all is lost, if love remains, we will pay the price but we will not count the cost.

R. reasons to smile? Children who think I am the "Queen of the best mommies."

S. season of choice? Spring.

T. tag seven peeps! I tagged 4. I'm new here.

U. unknown fact about me? I have an FBI file. College was just weird.

V. vegetable? Most anything fresh sans pesticides.

W. worst habits? Caffeine and a lot of it.

X. x-ray or ultrasound? I've had both - but strange question.

Y. your favorite food? I really like so many good foods - a lot. I'm a bit of a food snob.
Z. zodiac sign? Aries

Hmmm, fire signs all around! Lots of firstborns as well, as I read through. I think you have the distinction of being one of few younger sibs amongst the HSers I know around the net!

Your unknown fact has me so curious! College was weird for me too, but I think I escaped it without an FBI file :)

Thanks for the award! I am terrible about lurking and not commenting on blogs so I don't know if I can come up with seven people who wouldn't be all....huh? Who's this? And I am not even new to blogging. I really must get better about that.

Hey Rae, thanks! Love, Katherine

Mommylion, lest you think I'm a total "*#@!*, I'll give you the story.

MY roommate was a dear friend who had led an incredible life by the time she was the ripe old age of 19. Sweet girl, good girl, adventurous girl. ;)

She had a former boyfriend who died. Or at least that was the story.

She began getting inner-campus mail from the dead guy. It turns out that he wasn't really dead - but was an informant for the FBI. Yep. So... I have an FBI file because of my association with the not so dead guy's former girlfriend.

candyn said...

Wow. THAT is a good story. Seriously. Like it could be a movie on Lifetime or something. Did she think he died? Or was she in on the FBI informant thing? I can't even imagine that.

Okay, college wasn't that weird for me after all!
