7 Random Facts About Me

Yesterday I was awarded the I Love This Blog Award from the beautiful Deja of Atomic Chic. And also the Versatile Blogger Award from the ladies of School of Vintage, Erin & Jennine.  Thank you!  

If you're a vintage and fashion lover,  you should definitely check out their blogs.

THE RULES:
If you're tagged...
Thank the person who gave you the award
Share 7 random bits about yourself
Pass the award on to a few of your favorite blogs


I'll be tagging and awarding the following ladies!
Donna from Donna Dell
Jenny from Sunny Sweet Pea
Keyla from La Mode En Rose

1.  Ever since I was a little girl, I've always had a pet.  I currently have 3 birds, a cat and dog.

2.  When I was 12 yrs. old, I was diagnosed with paraplegia 'cause of a failed scoliosis operation.  The doctor said that I'd never walk again, but that didn't stop me from relearning.  And now I'm training for a half-marathon.

3.  I used to lip sync in the high school choir and whenever I tried to really sing, the director would say that someone was out of key.  :/

4.  This is my new favorite commercial:

How can you not love it?!

5.  My favorite number is 8 'cause it's an even # and very curvaceous.

6.  I don't eat lamb 'cause I saw them hanging in the gyro store.

7.  I love spending time with my family and always miss them - even though I saw them two days ago.

  28. I partially failed that scoliosis test and so I always wonder if I'll be a hunched over old lady when I'm old. Great random facts! I love your blog, by the way.

  29. @ Yajaira, Erin, Keyla, Justine, and Sarah - You're welcome. You girls totally deserve it.

    @ Sarah - Yeah, I'm back. It's so hard to stay away from blogging.

    @ 20 York Street - I'll definitely check out the PJ Project. :)

    @ M.M.E. - I used to wonder the same thing. I'm sure you'll be fine. And don't worry, once we all get old, we'll all be hunched over. Lol.

  38. You, my friend, are an inspiration. How amazing that you defied the doctors! All the best with your training :)

    I have to say i'm with you on the number 8. Do you write it in one go or stack two o's on top of each other?

    Hope you had a lovely weekend ♥

    ReplyDelete
  39. @ sBt - Thanks for following! I'll definitely stop by our blog!

    @ thefancyflea - I write them with two o's cause it looks neater (and like what Ann said "like a snowman). :)
