My very first blog award

I'm a little late getting to this post since Angie let me know last Wednesday that she had awarded it to me. All I can say for myself is that I have been busy taking care of my hubby that just had his wisdom teeth out.

Thank you so much Angie for nominating me! You can find her at Random Thoughts from Angie .

Here are the rules for accepting this award:

1. Thank and link back to the person who awarded you the award.

2. Share 7 things about yourself.

3. Award 15 other bloggers (I'm lowering this to 5 for future people. 15 is just way too many.).

4. Contact these bloggers and tell them about the award.


So here are seven things about me:

1. I love having things organized. I actually printed out labels for our pantry when I was a teenager so that everyone would now exactly where to put things. I was so tired of everyone putting things in random places and having to hunt for them.

2. I'm a perfectionist.  This kind of goes along with the first thing I listed. Since it is so rare that I can get things perfect sometimes I don't even try and things can get really messy.

3. I love to bake.  Now I just need to be better about not eating the things I bake so that I will be able to lose weight. Thank goodness for being able to share food with co-workers.

4. I love digging in the dirt, but I also hate being dirty. (I know this may seem contradictory.) I really like gardening but as soon as I'm done I go straight to the sink to wash all the dirt off my hands.  (I can't wait for spring so I can start my vegetable garden.)

5. I am rekindling my love of crocheting. My most recent project is two baby afghans for one of my co-workers that is going to be the proud dad of twins in a few months.

6. I have never been outside the U.S. Even when we lived an hour from the Canadian border we never took the time to make the trip.  I know, it's pathetic.

7. I love to read.  I have a such a huge list of books that I want to read that it will probably be a year or two before I get through it. 

I nominate... (drum roll please):
