Award

JenJen  nominated me for this award.  I am so surprised and hope you will go over to her precious blog.

The rules are simple: just give 7 facts about you and then nominate 7 people for the beautiful blogger award.

 1.  Many know I have a strong dislike for feet. Mucho disliko.  My aunt tells the story of how I used to take off my socks by using my feet--never touching my feet or socks with my hands. I was quite impressive with this talent. So, I must have had this phobia early on.  I really dread when summer comes around and there are flip-flops galore.  Ewww... feet everywhere! Not properly covered, but in all their glory! (Don't even get me started on cracked heels).


2.  I didn't crave anything really during all five of my pregnancies, except....get this....pickled pig's feet! Are you gagging now?  I remember eating them with my uncle who ate them because he ate weird things (pork skins and cottage cheese, hog's head cheese, weird stuff).  This clearly had to be before I developed my phobia.  Or maybe I really didn't know they were really pig's feet (okay...I'm icking myself out here).  Bless my husband's heart because he wouldn't let me buy them and I would always forget when I went to Kroger's.


3. Even though I have a degree in education, I still have problems spelling definately difinetly definitely! Embarrassing, I know!


4. For the first year of our marriage, Dale and I played Rummy every night before we went to bed.  And he won every. single. night.  I'm not bitter about it, though.
 (I think he cheated).


5. I have a blanket that I call my Silky.  I love that blanket.  It is so soft.  I love Dale, also.  That is why I generously share Silky with him at night. (Although many nights I wake up and secretly yank it off of him and wrap myself up like  a cocoon).


6. I am lactose intolerant, but in denial.  Yes, I indulge in eggnog and Sonic shakes only to be moaning in a couple of hours and vowing to never let a milk product enter my lips again.


7. When I was in first grade my mother was being sensible and made me wear rain boots to school.  We had a long way to walk to our bus stop and she didn't want my feet to get cold.  They were red and loud and ugly.  I was teased all day long and scarred for life =).  I think those boots ended up on my two younger brothers.  I sort of feel sorry for them, but not too much since they constantly hid my make-up from me when I was older =).  So now I refuse to buy rain boots for any of my kids (although Target carried the cutest ones this year.  I resisted.).

 Now my nominations....this was hard because I have received much support in the blog world via emails or comments and IRL.
