Hey how’s this for a neat way to feel the love?
Elizabeth of Trailing Yarn nominated me for the Beautiful Blogger Award. Now, I’m not sure if this award means beautiful in the “whoah-mama” or the high brow “beautiful on the inside” way, so you know what? I will gladly accept in the spirit of both. Heh. According to the rules, I have to list seven interesting things about myself, as well as nominate 7 other bloggers. I’m going to skip my usual suspects (who get many a shout out in the normal course of things) and focus on some of the bloggers I admire who are also folks I haven’t met.
Yarndude, Carole Knits, JennaKate, Lehcar Knits, The Weaving Studio, Yarn Shop Thoughts, & The Panopticon. Yeah, I know I threw in a big name there at the end. Franklin seems awfully down to earth, really makes me laugh, and I admire his work.
And now, my seven interesting things:
- I am often supercharged by the company of others, so much so that I can become giddy/manic in public, but when I’m home I’m quiet and enjoy solitude/the company of just my husband. We refer to this in our house as Tina being ‘on’ and ‘off’.
- I would rather eat no chocolate than bad chocolate, and will almost always pass up a regular American milk chocolate candy bar. I haven’t eaten a regular Hershey bar in over 8 years. Life is too short for swill.
- I didn’t think I’d live to see 30, and was really excited to mark the milestone.
- In 5th grade I was in the same class as one of the winners of the Toys R Us shopping sprees. Yes, they really were legit, and she had a blast.
- I haven’t had a smoke in over 6 years and I still miss it.
I’ve never been drunk. I enjoy a drink now and then, but I have a sneaking suspicion that overindulgence would be like letting the genie out of the bottle. - My favorite outfit consists of a low cut top, boot cut blue jeans, dark red lipstick, and black combat boots.
