Award and Reading Update

J. Kaye awarded me with another great award that really brightened my day!

I really appreciated it since today I have been feeling kinda down. I want to pass this along to some other bloggers.

Barbara from Heidi's Books.

Kris from Not Enough Books

Holly from What Were You Expecting?

These are three bloggers who I love to read and have made me feel so welcome (not excluding the lovely J.Kaye) so I just wanted to extend the love.

An update on my reading... since I finished my last book, I have read maybe 40 pages out of a book. I finally finished my training last night, though I worked this morning and have to go to my other job in a little. We are supposed to get walloped with a huge snow storm tonight with 10 inches, so I am assuming it will be a snow day for me tomorrow. I plan on reading and maybe wrapping some presents. That's it... I want to read!

Six Random Things

O.K. here goes my first meme. Holly from What Were You Expecting has tagged me for 6 Random Things about me. She also gave me an award that says she loves my blog... which has me questioning her taste (jk)!

1. I am left handed. No one else in my family is left handed so I am not sure where this came from. I am always told that I have excellend handwriting and they are shocked when they discover I am left handed.

2. I have know my husband since I was 16. We were off and on until I was 21, when we got engaged and married 2 years later. We celebrate our 4 year anniversary in a couple of weeks.

3. I have had a dog my entire life and can't picture my life without one.

4. I played basketball for nearly 10 years and still like to play but I hate watching it on t.v.

5. I am the first one in my entire family (including my extended family on both sides) to receive a Bachelor's Degree, but there was never any question that I would get on.

6. The only type of pop I like is Diet Coke and it has to be a fountain pop. When I was in NYC I had the hardest time finding it and seriously went through withdrawls.

I am not going to tag anyone, but if you choose to do this, let me know! I love getting to know more about all of you!

I'm So Excited!!

I have won my first blog award from the wonderful, fabulous, and talented reviewer J.Kaye! I am actually blushing, because so many times I feel no one reads my blog half of the time. Thank you J. Kaye... you have made my weekend!
