RealLifeAfter40!! (and the crowd goes wild)
Oh…..my…..gawd!! How freakin’ crazy is this!! Never been nominated for anything, especially for writing! I am truly grateful, thank you http://skinnyandsingle.wordpress.com/ for nominating me for this distinguished award, I am truly honored.
1. Thank the person who nominated you and provide a link to their page(s).
2. Proudly display the award banner on your page.
3. List eleven facts about yourself.
4. Answer the questions the award-giver asked you and make 11 more for your nominees.
5. List your nominees.
Hmmm, RUI from Oz:
1. I’m a shoe whore. Literally, buy several pairs at one time.
2. I own all the Sex in the City episodes and movies, watch them over and over. I’m the Carrie Bradshaw of Texas.
3. I have a 4 bedroom house, but spend all my time in my 18′ x 16′ bedroom.
4. I’ve been a fitness instructor for 10 years.
5. I’ve self-published 2 books and workin’ on about 20 more!
6. I love Tequila but it puts me to sleep (no, not passed out! yawning, can’t hold my head up sleepy), so I drink Raspberry Rum instead.
7. I converted one bedroom in my house to my closet. It’s lined with hanging clothes and shoes! (can you say Carrie Bradshaw!! Sorry I loved the series, my BBE’s and I are just like them)
8. I refer to my best girlfriends as the BBE’s ~ Best Bitches Ever
9. My first love is poetry (odd, I know, right)
10. I could eat chips and salsa everyday. Morning, noon and night.
11. I’m a beach gypsy and will live at the beach one day.
11 distinguished questions http://skinnyandsingle.wordpress.com/ ask me:
- If you could make one piece of clothing illegal, what would it be? A thong swimsuit; confidence is one thing, stoopid is another!
- If you could travel anywhere, for free, where would you go? And why? Beach hop through the Caribbean. Any beach is my happy place.
- If the bank made a mistake, and put sixty thousand dollars in your account, what would you do? Seriously?? I’d go beach hopping!! lol
- What are your thoughts on legalizing marijuana? I’m a virgin. I ride the fence on that one, I know cancer patients that partake on it and it helps them cope.
- What is your favorite childhood memory? So strange, I’m writing a post about this! One memory is catching butterflies with my Granpdaddy’s minnow net.
- What did you want to be when you grew up, and what do you do instead? A commercial artist. I became a mother and end up in healthcare and now I’m unemployed. Ha!
- What happened on the best workday you’ve ever had? Is there a best workday?? Been so long I can’t remember – lol
- What was your favorite thing that your mother used to cook for you? Oven tacos
- Do you believe in soul mates or love at first sight? Yes, I do! I also believe that your soul can be ripped to shreds and it changes you forever.
- If you could go back in time, and change one thing, what would it be? (I borrowed this from http://singleguynyc.wordpress.com/ questions because I love it) I’d reincarnate myself into J.K. Rowlings – LOL!! (I can’t answer this question seriously)
- Are you married? And if so, describe your proposal. Nope

Thank you!!! 🙂 I’m so jealous of your Carrie closet! You’ll find this out after I answer your questions but after my son graduations, I’m totally moving to NYC. I’m a huge fan of the series myself!

I added you to my WordPress Blog Roll, but for some reason my blogger blog rolls are not playing nice. 😦 I’ll add you to them when I figure out what the heck is wrong. P.S. I have a “community”-type blog where you are welcome to guest post to if you feel so inclined. Just let me know and I’ll send you an invite.
