I am flattered and speechless to have been chosen as one of Stephanie from Moxie Maley 's picks for the Stylish Blogger Award! Thank you Stephanie- I am truly honored. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Stephanie's work, she is an accomplished interior designer from Birmingham. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her over the past year through the blogosphere.
To participate in this exciting Stylish Blogger Award experience, you must follow the rules below:
-- Thank and link back to the person who awarded you.
-- Share 7 things about yourself.
-- Award 10 great bloggers that you have recently discovered.
-- Contact those bloggers and tell them about the award.
So with no further ado, let me get started by telling the world all sorts of personal things about myself:
1. I love candy and lots of it. In fact, for lunch today I ate a bag of M&Ms. Whoops.
2. I go out at least four nights a week. I myself am not quite sure how I do it with both school and work. Needless to say, my social life is extremely important to me and I refuse to spend my free evenings on the couch watching Friends re-runs.
3. My mother is going to kill me when she reads this, but I've decided that after I finish my MBA I'm going to get another masters in the Decorative Arts so I can become the antique dealer I've always wanted to be. Surprise! I will send out applications in the fall.
4. I am completely indecisive about where I want to live. DC is great during the week, New York is a blast on the weekends, and Nashville may just be the chillest place on earth. And then there are days when I just want to pick up and move to Europe to live the elusive life. I wish someone could decide where I should settle for me.
5. Nothing makes me happier than when good things happen for my friends and family. I truly mean that!
6. Perhaps the quirkiest thing about me is my endearingly-odd love of animals (I'll stop there).
7. And finally, Hall and Oates, Michael Jackson and George Michael will never get old!!
Oh wow - this is so nice from you to have me on your list, THANK YOU! I did not know your blog, but I will check immediately! greetings from germany and again: Thank you so much! geisslein
Congratulations to you and what a well deserved award for your blog. And, I must say, you are tooo darn sweet. Thank you ever so for this award. I am humbled that someone as stylish and inspiring as you feels I deserve the stylish blogger award.
