blog award!
i’m excited! i just received a blog award from Zee at Zee’s Wordly Obsessions! thank you, it’s been a while since i’ve received an award! so now i’m supposed to share 7 things about myself:
1. i have a bachelor’s degree in Physics & Astronomy from the university of georgia.
2. after i worked really hard to get that degree, i decided that was enough of that. my real passion is reading and i hope to be able to get my master’s in library and information science so i can become a librarian–whenever the stars align.
3. i have been married to my high school sweetheart for almost 5 years.
4. we have two dogs, sugar and chewy, who are pains in my ass but i can’t seem to let them go.
5. i have an obsession with anything old and antique. i like to mix old and new. i also like to take old things and turn them into something more beautiful and functional.

plus a few old mismatched teacups...

i’m so excited! my friend mendie from the spectator has given me this award. when you have a moment, you should visit her blog too because it also fits into the “it just rules” department. thanks mendie!
blog awards for me!
a HUGE thank you to alita over at alita.reads. for bestowing on me the following blog awards:
Blogs that receive the Let’s Be Friends Award are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated.
i would like to give this award to my friend mendie at the spectator who is finding TONS of friends as i write 🙂
and next is:
this one goes to natalie at mindful musings for being one of my first few commenters 🙂
my first blog award!
i’m so excited! i got my first award from Natalie over at mindful musings! thank you! the description is as follows:
“The blogger who receives this award believes in the Tao of the zombie chicken– excellence, grace, and persistence in all situations, even in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. These amazing bloggers regularly produce content so remarkable that their readers would brave a raving pack of zombie chickens just to be able to read their inspiring words. As a recipient of this world-renowned award, you now have the task of passing it on to at least 5 other worthy bloggers. Do not risk the wrath of the zombie chickens by choosing unwisely or not choosing at all.”
i don’t yet have 5 other blogs that i visit frequently. i mean, i do, but i would prefer to give this award to newer blogs that i visit and seeing how i’m not “choosing unwisely” or not “not choosing at all”, i think the chickens will leave me alone. congrats to the following:
