Thanks for the Blog loving awards! Random tidbits about me

October 13, 2009

Thanks to Aubrey at high-heeled love for gifting me this award.

Thanks to verymarried for giving me the Sugar Love award 

The award comes with the following rules (but I kinda changed things up since there are 2 awards):
  1. Thank the person who nominated you for this award.
  2. Copy the logo and place it on your blog.
  3. Link to the person who nominated you for this award.
  4. Name 7 things about yourself that people may not know.
  5. Nominate 7 Kreativ Bloggers.
  6. Post links to the 7 blogs that you nominate.
  7. Leave a comment on each of the blogs letting them know they’ve been nominated.

Random tidbits about me:
1.I love grocery shopping. It’s something about browsing the aisles, looking for new products, and of course getting good deals. I’m a really good grocery shopper too and used coupons and everything – my parents made me do household shopping ever since I was 15. It’s not just me though – I went to college in upstate NY and people used to hang out or study at Wegman‘s (that and there wasn’t much else in the “city”).   If I had more money to spend here, Waitrose would be my top grocery store – great, fresh selection and wonderful prepared foods. Mmm, turkey stuffed with bacon!

2. I hate my thighs and yet am really thinking about getting nice black tights. Maybe it’s because everyone under 40 wears black tights here. I’m still searching for not only good tights, but nice tunics as well.  Are these Hudson leggings hot or what?

3. I don’t tan.  I burn.  Not cool.   normally groan at beach trips.  While other people are at the beach tanning, I just like to frolic in the water.

4. I LOVE pink.  I am such the girly-girl and think it is such a perfect, soft, feminine color (kinda like me until you really get to know me).  It also works on me because I’m pale with pinkish undertones.

    4. I am a girl of contradictions.  I got PADI certified last year to scuba dive and love the freedom and serenity underwater but my greatest fear is dying via drowning.

    5. I make what Mr. Chic ‘n Cheap refers to as “dinosaur sounds”.  They’re these strange long hiccupy things that come out of nowhere.  They’re a constant source of amusement for him and he’s always annoyed I don’t do it around other people besides him and my family.



    6. I might really have a slight case of ADD (or so he says).  I am always doing multiple things at once and get distracted very easily by noises, lights, and some random thought in my own head.  When I do try to focus, I am very focused.


    7. I become obsessed with purses a few years ago and found TPF/PurseForum.  I moved from Banana Republic and Coach to the Celine Clandestine (also part of my new job bonus) – it’s still sitting in NYC though poor dear.



    I want to give the option of the Kreativ or Sugar Doll award to the following lovelies – old and new blogger buddies :

    Dinosaur sounds, lol. The boy tells me I’m like Beaker from the Muppets because I tend to break out into “mememememe” in private.

    Thank you for the blog love! Get the leggings!

    Thank you so much, hon! This totally made my day. And I think leggings are great for larger thighs – the black disguses them! Of course, they have to be black. Also, I totally make dinosaur sounds 🙂
