My pal, Bre over at Breezy in Bloom awarded me this Stylish Blogger Award. I am thankful to have met Bre through this blog world. She always has something nice to say to me and darn it, I wish she didn't live on the other side of the country, because I think we'd become good friends! Go check Bre out. She doesn't disappoint. Promise!

1. My friends and I had a sleepover this past Friday night. It was so much fun! Brings back good memories from my childhood. There was no "light as a feather, stiff as a board" or "Bloody Mary", however. We still had a blast! Eating, talking about people, watching movies. I couldn't ask for better pals.

2. I'm doing this post instead of doing my grad school homework. I'm the world's worst when it comes to procrastinating! I hate school. Hate.

3. I've never been that girl who has her future children's names picked out. But, my two cousins and I promised my Granny when we were little that whichever of us has a kid first, we will give them our Uncle's namesake. His name was Green. I never got to meet him and my Granny is no longer living, so this is a promise that I intend to keep. If I have a girl, I thought about Greenly.

4. I kinda can't stand it when someone puts up a profile picture on FB that is not of them. Dumb. Sorry if you do that. I think it's dumb...can you not find a picture of yourself that you think is decent enough to post?!

5. I reaaaaallly want to get into photography. I don't want to take pictures for money, I just want to learn more about how to take good pictures (Maybe my blog friend, Julia can help teach me, cause I just think she is great!). It's on my 30 Before 30 list to take at least 5 "frame worthy" photos. Right now, I have one...in my amatuer opinion. It was taken with my iphone in Chicago.

6. I am way stubborn. If someone hurts my feelings, I can just kinda be "done" with them. It takes a lot to get my feelings hurt, but once you do, I'm stubborn to forgive and rarely do I forget. It's not a good thing.

7. I was once really into going to the gym for Turbo Kick on Mondays. Now that I have grad school assignments due on Monday night and am usually finishing up more work for my Tuesday night class, I haven't gotten to go as regular. It makes me feel bad about myself and I desperately want to get back into going.

I'm gonna pass this award on to:
All of my lovely follwers. Anyone feel free to take it for yourselves! :) I've gotta get back to doing my homework and getting ready for school tomorrow. Don't forget to go check out Bre!

7 Facts Blog Award!

So, my sweet blog friend, Bre awarded me with the 7 Facts Blog Award!! You should check her out if you haven't already over at Breezy in Bloom.

I'm pretty random at times, so let's see how these 7 facts turn out...

1. I have applied to be on The Amazing Race. Apparently the casting directors don't know what would make for good TV or they would have chosen me and Sarah! 2 Kindergarten Teacher Besties...sounds like amazing reality TV. On top of that, we have some similar personality traits, but have some big differences, too...like cleanliness and sleeping habits. Could be hilarious. Maybe I'm just biased?

2. My most favorite food in the whole wide world is a hot dog. It's that simple for me. Give me a hot dog and some of the wonderful trimmings, and I will be your forever friend. Mustard, chili, jalapenos, sour kraut, reslish...just please. No ketchup on my dog. That's just not natural!

3. I probably own more Forever21 clothes than anything else. Most of the time when someone asks me where I got something, my reply is "Forever21". I just can't help it! They sure have some crazy looking stuff...like the stonewashed jean jumper that I saw in there recently. But then they have those precious jewels that you stumble upon. When you find one of those, you have to snatch it up before you lose it! I swear, I have seen something that I liked, put it back on the rack, walked around and thought, "I think I'll try that on." and then am unable to find it...it's a blackhole for clothing. It just disappears in there. But I love it.

4. I have never really liked having my nails painted. Recently, I have really gotten into this. I have bought several new nailpolishes in the past couple of months and they are all spring/summery colors and they make me pretty happy. Amazing what just a little color can do.

5. Okay. Don't judge me by what I am about to tell you. I am an extreme facebook stalker. I somehow find out more than I need to or want to just by clicking here and there and everywhere. Why is there this need to stalk on facebook and end up on an ex's page, or the boy's ex-girlfriend's page, or even someone's page that you don't even know! I just click to my heart's content and then realize that I have looked through 200 pictures on a complete stranger's profile. What the crap?!

6. I am OBSESSED with Turkey. No, not the lunchmeat or the famous Thanksgiving dish. The country. I love reading about it and would give my left boob to visit one day. I applied to teach there for a school year, but didn't get accepted. :( Sad day for this teacher. I wanted to move there, teach for a year and then bring home a little Turkish baby. Really. I've already decided that if I adpot, my first place to look into is Turkey. I just love the culture of Turkey.

7. College basketball is my favorite sport. I think that March Madness is better than Christmas!! It's such a fun time of the year and I love the competitiveness between everyone. I love to banter back and forth with fans of other teams. My favorite team, by the way, is Kentucky {Uh Duh}. So, here's to March Madness beginning this week! GOOOOOO CATS!!!!

Now, I am supposed to pass this award on to 7 other blogs. :) These are some of my favorites. You should definitely check them out!
