Hey, I Got an Award!

Well dip me in OJ and call me a popsicle, but Jami over at The Blackberry Vine just gave me the VERSATILE BLOGGER AWARD.

Seriously.

I'm just floored and stuff. And quite flattered.
She actually gave it to me over a week ago, and I've taken the conditions of accepting it pretty seriously. Well seriously for ME. And there are conditions.

The guidelines for accepting the award are....

Thank the person/people who gave it to you
Jami, cutie, nice to meet you this month, stalk you extensively, and totally steal your ideas. Oh, and I DIED LAUGHING when you added to my blog title "it's not what you think."

(Is that the best? I need a disclaimer!!! I needed that, no one else, which I found wicked cool.)
I feel very honored that you enjoy my blog and thought I was deserving of this. Thank you.

Share 7 things about yourself.
(This is difficult for me as most of these could be gotten from a police report.)

1. I minored in religion. That's right, I STUDIED my faith as a choice. How's that for bizarre?
2. We take in cats that others abandon due to the economy. We now have enough cats for me to officially make a hat out of foil and receive instructions from the mother ship.
3. My spouse does the cooking, dishes, and laundry. What do I do? The other stuff.
4. Jennifer (my sister), for the last time, I'm NOT a telemarketer. I'm in collegiate advertising sales. Stop telling Mom I sell timeshare.

5. My best friends are men. The guy who tops the list and whom I'd prefer to share my time with is my husband. I'm no idiot.

6. I'm a "Bright Side" sort of person. "If we hadn't torn this entire storage unit apart, we would have never accidentally found great-grandma's lemon juicer." This drives my family crazy.

7.I haven't painted my nails since 1977, unless you count Rustoleum.
