I was given this award by a fellow blogger, Lilianna Grace, and thought I'd take a moment to accept while I collect my thoughts for my next installment.
Rule #1:
Thank and link back to the person who gave you the award.
Big holla! http://liliannagrace.blogspot.com Thank you for selecting me! Sorry its taken me a while to do the formal acceptance. I'm a tad slow on the uptake lately...but rest assured, it was no less appreciated.
Rule #2: Share 7 things about yourself.
1. Hmmm...I've shared an awful lot about myself already, so I've been racking my brain trying to come up with some other, unknown tid bits. I'm thinking I'll go with earlier years stuff. So number one, I graduated from high school nearly two years early. It was pre-No Child Left Behind. Gaining credits was much easier back then.
2. I am a licensed cosmetologist and worked as an aesthetician early on in graduate school. I'm probably one of the few school psychologists who is qualified to diagnose kids with learning disabilities and cut their hair.
3. I took guitar lessons twice. Once at 14 and again at 24-ish. I quit because I sucked. The rock stars make it look sooooo easy! The guitar teacher I had when I was 14 looked like Ringo Starr. I thought he was cool. My mom told me not to tell him that he looked like Ringo...She said it wasn't a compliment. Poor Ringo.
4. When I was little, I thought Albert from Little House on the Prairie was rad and I had a little crush on him. I recently confessed this fact to my boyfriend...Whew...and he still loves me! But really...Its not like I was the only one...(Watch, fellow Albert groupies are totally going to come out of the woodworks now...)
5. When I was little, I thought the name "Ethel" and the word "asshole" were the same word. You heard me. I didn't understand why Lucy could call her friend "Asshole" on TV, but if I said it, I got in trouble. Oh the injustice!
6. Okay, I'm on a childhood roll here...when I was little, I continued to hold onto my belief in the Tooth Fairy, even after I got the cold hard truth about Santa and The Easter Bunny. One day, I found my baby teeth in my mom's jewelry box and realized who the real "fairy" was. I was pretty miffed. I called her at work and confronted her, "Mom...!! Are you the Tooth Fairy?!?!" She laughed...Oh the injustice!
7. And last but not least...When I was little, I thought the song "Jeopardy" by the Greg Kihn Band was called "I Love You, Jepaleen." C'mon, I was like seven years old. I'd never heard the word "jeopardy" before...that's what it sounded like to me...I thought it was about a chick named "Jepaleen." A perfectly normal name, right?? I told my dad and he laughed. He still laughs about that one. But in all fairness, he DID think that "Our Lips Are Sealed" by The Gogos was called "I Love Lucile." Cha! As if!
Rule #3: Award 15 recently discovered bloggers.
This was tough! I read a lot of blogs. I tried to pick ones that haven't been around that long, but I picked a few just because I like them...Not sure how long they've been blogging. Okay, here goes:
