Try a Little Tenderness

I wasn't planning on posting today, but then Hayley at Learning the World was lovely enough to pass on this little blog award to little ol' moi:

Thank you, Hayley, for thinking I am stylish - I certainly love style but most days I feel I look less than stylish (though I do feel a bit less boorish today with my new much-needed haircut, I must say!). It sounds cheesy but it always means a lot when other bloggers acknowledge you as someone they enjoy following. I continue to be blown away by the humility and friendliness of this odd little community!

Anyhoo, I am supposed to list 7 random facts about myself (which shouldn't be hard considering I'm a rather random person) so here goes:

1. I have 4 tattoos

2. I count stairs whenever I go up or down them

3. I love eating raisins by themselves but absolutely hate eating baked goods (cookies, muffins) containing raisins (don't ask me...I think it might be the texture)

4. My mom and I have the same birthday

5. I am practically a midget (I'm just 5 ft tall, pretty much on the dot)

6. I love elephants and collect elephant paraphernalia (even though I hate that word)

7. I have an older sister with Down's Syndrome and an older brother who's gay (and married - so I am therefore a huge supporter of both gay marriage and disability issues)

And now it is my duty to pass this award on to 7 other bloggers I think are great!

I'm looking at you:

Tasha @ A Work in Progress

Amanda Foley

Lynn @ Lynn's Life

Kim @ Say What?!

M. @ The Grown-Up Diaries

Danna @Youlookfiiine

Carly @ Tune into Radio Carly

Go forth, you chosen 7, and spread the blog love!!

Have a lovely (and stylish) weekend!


Addendum: The lovely KG from Lost to Gain awarded me this same award on June 14th! Thanks so much! Rather than do the above twice, just thought I'd give you a shout-out and thanks :)
