Liebster Award!

Hey there guys!  Guess what!!?  It must be award season because there are a ton of blogger awards flying around the web.  Well, would you believe it but the lovely Paige at Fit Not Fad nominated me for the Liebster Award!  I know!  LIke the Sunshine Award, the Liebster Award is an award given by bloggers to other bloggers.  This one recognizes bloggers with less than 200 followers as up and comers (aka, if you like it here, tell your friends! 😉 ).  But in all seriousness, I was totally humbled and excited that Paige nominated me.  In just one and a little bit year of blogging I feel like my life has changed dramatically so it’s always nice to know that someone recognizes something I find so dear.

11 Random Facts About Me!
 
1. Ever since I was a toddler I would fold my ears in when they were cold.  My ears have surprisingly little cartilage!  How’s that for random!
 
2.  Speaking of ears, I have two piercings in each ear.  The first hole I had done when I was about eight years old.  The second one I did myself when I was in high school and they are not even!
 
3.  I have nicer workout gear than work gear (i.e., the clothes I wear to work).

4.  Up until I broke my elbow, I had basically no serious injuries EVER in my life!
 
5.  My least favorite form of exercise is running but in high school I ran long distance track.  And I lettered my freshman year.  And I went to invitational meets.  I still don’t enjoy it.
 
6.  I want to go on the Amazing Race tv show like you wouldn’t believe!  I would give my left arm (not literally because I haven’t been using it recently and it really stinks!)
 
7. I read the magazine Coastal Living religiously.  Yes, I do know that I live on the island of Manhattan and that does not really count as “coastal living.”
 
8.  I am really scared of snakes.  I scream if I even see them on TV.
 
9.  I’m only 5’2 but I can eat like someone twice my size!  Nom, nom, nom.
 
10.  In college I was in the sorority Kappa Alpha Theta.  Coming from the northeast, not many people understand the concept of a sorority, or rather they don’t get the appeal.  But Greek life was really big at my undergrad, University of Richmond.
 
11. I have a masters degree in Public Policy!
 
Questions Paige Asked Me!
 
1. If you could live anywhere other than where you are right now, where would you live?
