Yet Something Else of Interest

I discovered that I became a recipient of a fun blog award. Some may think these are silly, but they just make my day when I'm given one in blogland, so there you go. Don't rain on my parade.

Thanks for the award Stephanie! Seriously, most of my "cute" posts are usually gleaned from her in the first place. :)

I'll share the rules momentarily, but let me just go ahead and share the 7 things of interest about me:

1. Though pretty well-known, I'm the only girl out of six children. One would just assume that I would naturally be a tom-boy because of this, but that couldn't be further from the truth. I'm ALL GIRL, ALL THE TIME. It's quite a demanding job to be the only female representative of the siblings but somebody's got to do it!
2. I really like food, from carhop diners (yay, Scotty's!) to gourmet, five course restaurants which have dress requirements such as Jenny Lake Lodge (don't be fooled by the woodsy dining; the meals are AMAZING, where I had tempura squash blossoms filled with sweet potato, the banana and black bean soup, Jenny Lake Signature salad, grilled ostrich fillet with rosemary jus and yukon gold potatoes, and dessert that I can't for the life of me remember what it was...it was delicious though!). I've been blessed with high metabolism, otherwise I'd probably be a blimp.
3. I can pick up things with my toes, which REALLY comes in handy towards the latter-stages of pregnancy.
4. Speaking of which, I can't hear the decibel level of Chris's voice while I'm pregnant. High-pitched voices are amplified though, but most of the time I have no clue what Chris is saying.
5. I developed a severe kidney infection while touring the Lake District with Chris after visiting the Wordsworth House in Cockermouth (hee, hee, funny name, real place), resulting in a trip to hospital in Dumfries, Scotland. My doctor was Indian with a Scottish accent. Yeah, ask if I know what "lost in translation" means.
6. I don't like to play sports because the ball always tends to hit me in the face, no matter what. It's given me some pretty big complexes for my already large nose.
7. I dream of being an archeologist digging up the next great find in Egypt or uncovering a lost city in Europe. Like a female version of Indiana Jones minus the fedora, whip, and people trying to kill me.

Hope you found it interesting!

And if you don't want to do this because of the aforementioned notion that blog awards are silly, I totally get it. You probably have other sources of happiness in your life that bring you a bit of sunshine during the winter. These awards are mine!
