I'd Like to Thank the Academy...

So my friend Sam over at Scarlett, called Scout was sweet enough to give me a little blog award. The conditions of the award are that I dish seven things about myself and pass the award on to a few other bloggers/blogs I love. So here goes nothing:

1. Don’t get me wrong—I love shoes. But, if given a choice, I would always be barefoot. The first thing I do when I sit down anywhere that I’ll be for more than half an hour is take off my shoes. I think my feet appreciate the freedom.

2. I am obsessed with advice columns. Like I read Carolyn Hax and Ask Amy everyday. I think it’s the more self-respecting person’s version of watching Jersey Shore. I mean the people in these columns and their families/relationships are train wrecks. It creates a kind of drama that my life just can’t generate on its own.

3. When I eat fruit snacks, which is everyday, I always put them into patterns by color and shape before I consume them. Don’t judge me.

4. If I could have a famous BFF it would be a toss up between Princess Catherine and Taylor Swift. I’m kind of in love with them both.

5. One of the things I look forward to most each week is reading the Wedding Section of the Washington Post. Oh my goodness, I love love. The weddings are hardly talked about—it’s all the story of the people and I may or may not tear up every time I read one.

6. If you don’t watch Modern Family this will be less meaningful but after watching the episode “Punkin Chunkin” with my family, my sister said, “Rachel’s Claire and Nik’s Phil.” And nothing could be closer to the truth.

7. My husband intimidates me. Not in the scary kind of way, in the I feel slightly inferior kind of way. Specifically, his dance moves intimidate me. He could do any dance you could imagine—the jitterbug, the sprinkler, the dougy—it would look cool. It’s just how he is. And I look on amazed, thinking how could I possibly measure up to the glorious specimen before me. I mean really. How could I be worthy of this?

Or this?

Or especially this?


Now for the blogs that I just can’t get enough of:

1. Rog and Lyndzee over at EP Love

2. Sam at Bright Eyed & Bushy Tailed
(given it right back to her—that’s the trouble with having multiple blogs)

3. Carli at Kurt and Carli
(Can’t resist pictures of my niece!)

4. Natalie at Nat the Fat Rat
(Don’t know her personally but love her blog and her fat little baby!)

5. Nicole and company at Baseball Wife Blog

I like other people’s blogs too but they don’t write enough for me to alert you to their greatness. They should get on that.
