Award time part 2

The sweet Seersucker Scrapper sent me some awards.  Thank you so much :-)  She has the cutest blog so be sure to stop by and say hi.

So you all get to find out 10 more things about me this week :-)

Rules: Thank the person who gave you the award, share 10 things about yourself and pass it on to 10 bloggers and let them know you've passed this on.

1. I LOVE margaritas (though I haven't been able to have one in a while).

2. I am the youngest of 5.  Well 4 now.  We sadly lost my brother in a car accident 24 years ago. There were two teenagers who ran a stop sign and all 3 were killed.  I now have one brother and 2 sisters.  My oldest brother and I are 20 years apart and yes we all have the same wonderful parents who have been married 60 years. My parents were in their 40's by the time I came along.  Not common back then but rather common today (at least in Chicago).

3. I love, love, love to travel.  My parents instilled this in me when I was young.  They always made vacations a blast.

4. I am always making To Do lists. It feels so good to get things done and cross it off my list.  My husband tries to get me to just do it on the computer but I like my hand written version better.

5. I love shopping.  This may change now that I am a SAHM (ha-ha).

6. I became an aunt when I was 6 years old. I have 5 nephews, one niece, a great nephew and a great niece.  I feel so old. 

7.  I LOVE anything monogrammed.

8. I enjoy looking for shells when I go on vacation.  I just find it relaxing and enjoy putting shells in jars and baskets once I am back home. 

9. I heart Bon Jovi.  While in my car I not only listen to the local radio stations or my XM radio but I usually have at least one Bon Jovi CD in the car at all times.  Currently there are two.  And I am soooo jealous that my sister and brother in law are coming to Chicago this weekend to go to the Bon Jovi concert.  They got tickets when I was still pregnant.  Couldn't really plan for a concert back then. 

10.  I am an 80's music junky!!!  Love the 80's.

Award time

Thanks so much to the lovely Ashley at Sweet Southern Prep for sending me the Honest Scrap Award.

 So 10 things about me.

1. I absolutely LOVE Christmas music.  My mom always had Christmas music on during the holidays when we were kids.

2. I have to have salt on my watermelon.  The hubs thinks I'm crazy.

3. My favorite color is pink

4.  I HATE!!!! spiders.  I had a nightmare that spiders were crawling all over my legs when I was a little kid and I still can't forget it.

5. I enjoy doing papercrafts (when I get time these days) scrapbooking, card making, rubber stamping.

6. Some of my favorite shows to watch are Criminal Minds, CSI New York and CSI Las Vegas.  I have always had a secret desire to be an FBI agent or privite eye (ha-ha).

7. I LOVE anything nautical or beachy.  Sailboats, lighthouses, anchors, shells.  LOVE it all.

8. I slept in a box outside when I was in college.  All of the sororities and fraternities on our campus where raising money for the homeless.

9. I dislocated my knee cap in high school and had to be taken to the hospital in an ambulance.  Literally my knee cap was on the side of my knee. It still grosses me out today thinking about it.  I was walking in the hallway with friends and we turned to go the other way and I turned my ankle and fell.  I thought that is all I did until I looked down at my knee.  I went to catholic school and had a uniform skirt on so I could see the whole thing.  Talk about embarrassing and painful.

10. I have no idea why but I seem to love things that start with the letter P.  Purses, I love purses and totes of all sizes.  I have some how inherited this from my mother.  I will just say there are tubs and shelving units involved with this.  Plates, it's just fun to have different dinner plates, dessert plates and dishes to use.  I'll have to do a post on these one day.  And paper (stationery), cute note pads, stationery, note cards.  I just find it fun to have cute paper to write on or to send someone a note.
