3. Award 15 recently discovered bloggers
4. Contact these bloggers and tell them about the award
Now, I don't think I *KNOW* 15 new bloggers, so I will share 5 blogs/websites that I think are really fun. Hopefully that works!
Seven things about myself:
1. I am the youngest of four girls. You might think this makes me a bit spoiled, and you'd be right! ;) But now that I have a precious Niecey girl, I have passed the spoiling torch to her.
2. I got my first pair of glasses at 18 months.
My cheeks were so chubby that when I cried, my tears would well up behind the lenses. May be part of why I was a smidge spoiled ;)
3. I grew up in a military family and am very proud of that heritage. Both my grandfathers served, as did both of my parents. Two of my sisters married guys who have served in the military.
My daddy's father
My mama's parents
Mama being sworn into the Air Force by her dad!
My daddy
4. I have an addiction to fuzzy socks! I own about 10 or more pairs. As soon as I get home, I always take my shoes off (Blame growing up in the south). But in winter my feet get so cold, so I have tons of comfy socks.
5. While I *am* big about manners and things (particularly when I meet new people), I have a complete potty mouth when it comes to hockey! This made some friends I'd met at church a little surprised when we went to our first hockey game, but we all had plenty of fun yelling at the refs and booing the other team :) The only really tricky thing was checking the 4 row radius for children before the game started!
6. I love to sing. Adore it. Sang in church choirs growing up. Went to a lion's club exchange camp called "The Sound of Music" in Austria. Sang in church choir at my Nashville church which I loved. I haven't found a place to sing here in DC and I really miss that. I am known to sing along with Alison Kraus or Sarah McLachlan in the car :)
7. I have a life goal of seeing every US state and a dream of seeing all the major National Parks. I was a girl scout growing up and really miss camping. Haven't camped in years, but used to be able to make some pretty awesome pancakes over an open fire!
8. Remembered one more! I LOVE playing cribbage and canasta. While these may seem like old fashioned card games, my grandma taught all us girls how to play and it has such happy family memories. Anyone in DC like to play?
Five Fun Blogs/Websites/Things! (I'm running low on ideas!)
Some of these y'all already know but some may be new. These are all things that make me smile.
1. Mad Hattery Blog
I shared this with the Preppy Princess via twitter yesterday. I still have a little princess obsession and a LOVE of sparkly things so this website feeds both!
2. Acting Like Animals
This is part of the "Squee" section of the icanhascheezburger site. Just too cute and happy.
3. Polyvore
I'm pretty new to this but I'm using it to try to play with what's in my closet and get more out of what I already own. Almost like Cher in Clueless.
4. The Chillout Song
Someone else tweeted this the other day, and I think it's the most awesome idea. It made me happy about the state of the world. (Something rather hard to do these days)
5. STFU Parents
Now a warning, this website has foul language at times, but if you've ever wanted to Gibbs Slap someone for posting about their child's bowels on facebook, this is the site for you!
Thank you so much Whitney for tagging me! This was a really fun way to relax until Mama gets here!

Cute! Love that you had Sperrys at such a young age. I appreciate that.

Thank you! I just realized that I ordered an almost identical pair of glasses to those ;)
