Random Facts | Friends Around the World | Arte y Pico Award

Hmmnnnn... shall we take a trip?

Some (maybe not so) random facts about yours truly:

  1. When I was in elementary school in Hawaii, I was part of the LEAP (Language Enrichment Arts Program) during grades 1-5. Similar to the GATE (Gifted and Talented Program) you might be familiar with.

  2. During those years, I participated in annual Speech Festivals and Writing Festivals.

  3. And brought home the highest award (4 stars) almost every year. Almost.

  4. I was invited to speak at different schools and clubs (though I can't remember those darned speeches).

  5. And received letters from all sorts of VIP's (leaving me wondering who these "famous" people were).

  6. In that particular class, I had the same teacher throughout all those years, who encouraged me to run for student body Vice President, even if I was a year too young (position held for 6th graders). We were moving after 5th grade, and they made an exception to allow me to run as a 4th grader.

  7. During the campaign, some boy would constantly aggravate me during recess. I finally dropped my sign and pulled that boy across the yard. By his hair.

  8. No one else messed with me after that.

  9. And I won. By a landslide.

  10. That teacher? Who coached me all those years? She still lives in Hawaii and I even had a chance to visit her some years ago, shortly after Hubz and I got married. To this day, we still keep in touch. I'm just not sure if she saw my little playground stunt.

That Crazy Mom, April, tagged me with this along with a similar one from Cathy at Me and My World and the lovely Verabear.

And now I'm taggin:

My Crazy Eights | Rose Award

Ever wanted to know 8 crazy random things about me? Well, you're gonna find out anyway - I got tagged by my new friend, The Sassy Southerner:


Check out my Crazy Eights - yo!

  1. When I attend a conference and finally meet someone in person (who only knows me by my name in email), they think they're gonna meet an 80-year old lady with her hair in a bun and glasses on the tip of her nose. Then - in walks me.

  2. Hubby and I escape to Vegas 2-3 times a year - you'd hardly recognize me over there. Let's just say that hubby likes to shop for my Vegas digs. ;)

  3. I exemplify: "It's the quiet ones you have to watch out for."

  4. I'm an organizational fREak. I love to get things organized but can't put my friggin' laundry away by the end of the week.

  5. I'm addicted to movies. Screw TV (and those damn commercials) - I can only watch it if I TiVo it. I've got 500+ DVD's stashed and waiting to get systemized (lol) into my new discsox's.

  6. I like to get stupid with the kids. Put my fat ass on roller blades for a race around the block, trying to teach myself to swim laps during their swimming lessons or get loud at the - well - anywhere. They should be embarassed.

  7. I am a romantic FOOL. I used to dream of quiet evenings after family dinner, weekly dates with the hubz, or maybe even a surprise on my birthday. Then I woke the eff up.

  8. But then again, we get our snookie on, like, 3-4 times a WEEK. It doesn't matter if it's already midnight. Someone please tell this mutha to stop complaining already?!
TAGGING RULES:
  1. Each player starts with 8 random things about themselves

  2. Athe end of your post, tag 8 people and include their names & links

  3. Those who are tagged will would post about their own 8 random things, including these rules as well

If you're up for a game of eights, I'm now tagging...

The lovely Vhiel at Can of Thoughts passed this beautiful award to me!

Rose Award

Isn't it gorgeous?! Thanks, girl!!

"A rose is a flowering shrub of the genus rosa. It is an ideal gift for someone dear to us like friends, partners in lives and even parents. It’s the classic expression of love because a rose flower pours forth your innermost feelings to your beloved in the most beautiful way.

So give a rose to your loved ones and friends
and make anyone’s heart bloom with joy!"

Guess what ladies? I'm passing this beautiful rose on to each of you as well. Bloggin' just wouldn't be as much fun without my bloggy friends. Enjoy!
