So you want to know a little bit more about me...

I got this super sweet award from my new blogging friend Micaela.  We just got to know each other through this swap and I am so glad I did.  I can tell by her writing and her sweet notes that she is a super sweet girl who is high energy and excited about life.  This is what I like about her.  I like her use of pictures to tell about herself and since I'm a visual person and short on words sometimes, I'm going to borrow her idea.

I'll tell you ten things about me and then you can tell me ten things about you

1.  I'm not big on small talk, this is why I'm reading this book

2.  This is one of my favorite movies because it appeals to all of my visual senses

3. ...and I've been saving this picture for awhile because I want to try out this color palette

4.  I want to sell my house and travel the world

5.  Tea is my drink of choice

6.  ....and it goes real well with chocolate

7.  I'm missing my favorite show and can't wait until next summer to see new episodes

8.  When I was in high school people used to tell me I looked like Mary Lou, maybe it was because I was short, a gymnast and we had the same hair style.

Me

9.  I'd like to have this many balloons at my next birthday party and set them all free

10.  I'm known for laughing a lot and sometimes loud.  When my son was younger he wouldn't sit by me at the movie theater because he said I was embarrasing.  He doesn't do that anymore,  I guess he's used to it by now.

and now I'd like to pass this on to these sweet girls;
