Wow!! How cool am I? Apparently, one person thinks I'm just about as neat as I think she is!! A fellow PCOSer and fellow PCOSesque blogger (check her out here !!) awarded me a nifty little award called: I Love This Blog Award (dang, that's a lot of 'award' mentioned in a short amount of space)!! I'm so very honored, surprised and totally excited! So thank you so, so much! :)
I went back and forth and back and forth again, flip-flopping on what sort of blog I wanted in the beginning. I'm glad I chose to (typically) write about PCOS and it's crappy way of trying to take over your life. I, too (like the girl who awarded me) find some kind of solstice in the fact that we are a strong network of not so out of the ordinary girls, and even though I haven't met a lot of people who read this blog it still makes me feel good to know there are other PCOSers out there reading my writing (silly as it may be) and maybe feeling a bit better about their own situation or at least relating to mine! When first started checking out PCOS online I came across a message board called SoulCysters. First off, it's a damn cute name. But I really liked the implication of sister. It makes me feel so much stronger.
So this is how the award works:
1. Thank and link back to the person who gave you this award.
2. Share 7 things about yourself.
3. Award some recently discovered bloggers that are deserving.
4. Contact those bloggers and let them know about the award!
7 things about ME:
1. When I put lotion on my arms, I can't just rub it around until it's absorbed. I hardly have any arm hair, but the hair that is there can't be swirled around haphazardly. It has to lay down, and in the same direction. OCD, I suppose? :\
2. I've never owned an automatic vehicle and it scares me to think of driving one. I screech around corners because I'm not used to braking heavily (normally, I'd just downshift!)
3. I sometimes have conversations with my dog when no one is home?
4. I love to knit, but I know only one stitch, can't 'finish off' a row, and have no idea how to make anything.
5. After watching karate/hand to hand combat movies--either in the theater or home--I tend to feel slightly empowered after watching it. Like I somehow just learned some gnarly kung fu and could actually put it to use. I usually throw a few mock punches at whoever I'm with in the theater (i.e: Sebastian) and he admittedly has the same problem of feeling much cooler than he is after watching these movies. So, we joke around and kick and punch out way out of the theater and into the car: but really... we feel uber cool when we do it.
6. Something that makes me more excited than it should: the idea of being able to spend an enormous amount of money (limitless!!) on restocking my entire kitchen. And remodeling it so it can hold way too much in the way of gadgets and food, glorious food! Not packaged things, but a goal of mine is to be able to make anything.. literally anything.. and not have to go to the store and buy 95% of the meal. I want tubs of different grains and flours.. the works. It makes me smile and brings a tear to my eye just thinking about it.
7. Damn, 7 things aint easy.. that's for sure. Not sure if this qualifies but, I thoroughly enjoy my coffee (and tea for that matter) with cream and sugar and black. It flip flops each day. I personally don't think it's odd at all, but other than the hubby I've never met anyone that enjoyed both equally. You're usually one or the other, apparently.
Well.. this shall conclude my Sunday morning post!! Thanks again for reading, and thank you for the award!!! I feel like a star....
;)

I also prefer stick shift...now I have an automatic and I almost caused an accident because I slammed on the brakes, thinking that it was the clutch. Yeah, I'm special. It's hard to get used to not shifting!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are having a great weekend!
I re-read this post and I still crack up that you can't finish rows of knitting. I started crocheting a blanket for DH - but made all of my stitches SO freaking tight that the thing weighs (no joke) about 20 pounds. It's crazy. Especially since he's in Houston right now. OMG. Makes me pee my pants laughing every time I think about it.
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! That's HILARIOUS!! But... hey, at least you made something!! :D :D
