Awards all over the place!

So, I’ve been a very bad girl. I’ve been nominated for 4 awards (YAYYYY! 🙂 ) but I’ve been slacking in putting up a post thanking all the wonderful people who have nominated me! 3 of the four awards require you to nominate 7 other blogs for the awards, while the other blog requires you to choose 15. So what I’m going to do, is choose 15 all together for the 4 blogs, because I don’t know 36 blogs to nominate! I’m still a blog baby 🙂

I got these questions from googling “questions to get to know someone” and found this site, but you’re welcome to steal my questions! 😉

1.What was your favorite food when you were a child?

Pizza, still is!

2.What’s the #1 most played song on your iPod?

No iPod, Jack Johnson station all the time on Pandora, however!

3.What is one of your favorite quotes?

Everything happens for a reason…I live by it.

4.What’s your favorite indoor/outdoor activity?

Crafting, obviously, but I do also go outside! I love going on picnics, bike riding, going to the beach, even to just lay on the sand and watch the water and look for sharks relax.

5.What chore do you absolutely hate doing?

Cleaning the bathroom….ugh

6.What is your favorite form of exercise?

Bike riding…when the weather is ACTUALLY nice….when’s that gonna happen?!

7.What is your favorite time of day/day of the week/month of the year?

Early in the morning (never thought I’d say that!)/Thursday afternoon, because I’m all done with work for the week/ July, because summer weather is usually here by then!

8.What sound do you love?

The sound of me saying “my husband” (still getting used to that 🙂 ), peeling and chopping of onions and garlic on the food network (specifically Giada’s show), the vacuum picking up dirt, my nieces and nephews giggling, REAL laughs, not the fake stuff! 🙂

9. Who is your celebrity crush

Jack Johnson all the way!!

10.If you could choose to stay a certain age forever, what age would it be?

23, It’s the perfect age!

Now, for 7 things about me… I’m just going to answer 7 more questions….because I’m bad at this lol

1.What was the last movie, TV show or book that made you cry or tear up.

Oh boy…if you know me at all, you know I cry at everything. I teared up last night when my sister was TELLING me about some commercial for the Olympics where the daughter wins and goes through the audience to hug her mom….I also cry at ALL the Suburu commercials. I don’t know when I became such a little sissy…I was never like this growing up! haha

2.What’s the hardest thing you’ve ever done?

Break someone’s heart, so I wasn’t miserable in a relationship that wasn’t for me.

3.What was the last experience that made you a stronger person?

WordPress erasing this post! lol

4.When was the last time you had an amazing meal?

My gramma’s birthday a few months ago. We got the most AMAZING coconut sorbet. To the point that I was licking my bowl-or really coconut shell, lol. I took the coconut shell home as a memory! haha

5.What do you miss most about being a kid?

Not having to care about much. I mean, how often were you stressed as a kid? How often are you stressed as an adult?

6.What is your first memory of being really excited?

When I was younger, I had one of those water baby dolls. On Christmas Eve, my family took me to FAO Shwarz, and I left my doll there! Obviously, I was really upset….well, flashback a few days earlier, my dad dressed up like my favorite ninja turtle, Raphael, and just happened to still have the costume. My parents went out and bought a new water baby, and set up the camera in the living room, and had Raphael bring my doll back (and left me his hat!)!! Needless to say, watching that video made me a VERY excited child! 🙂 My goodness, if I’m half as amazing as my parents are, I’ll be happy! But what’s really weird, is last year at my job, a little girl left her water baby doll, and can you guess what day it was? Christmas freakin EVE! How weird is that?! I said to myself, I hope her parents are as creative as mine….although doubtful! 😉

7.At what age did you become an adult?

I’m still not an adult!! And judging by my mom, I don’t know if that transition will ever happen for me! hahah xoxo
