A tag, an award, & flowers 4U!




I tried to dodge the bullet, I really did, but I got hit by the 7 weird things tag again! Hey it's not like I don't have plenty of weird things to share with you, but I'm trying to appear as "normal" as possible so that y'all come back! lol Not fooling anybody am I? Just focus on the photo of the flowers my daughter took for you and you'll be fine. Before we dive head first into THAT, I have an award to pass on. Robin from 'Bittersweet Punkin' (who's a real sweetheart, and very funny!) gave me the Totally Fabulous Award a couple of weeks ago (sorry I took so long to pass it on sweetie!) and now I'd like to pass it on to Rosie @ Rosie's Whimsy, and Julie @ Nunnie's Attic. These ladies really are "totally fabulous" and I'm honoured that they take the time to come visit with me everyday!

Now for the tag. Leigh Ann from 'There's No Place Like Home' and Sharon from 'Rose of Sharon' both tagged me to do this, so here we go!

7 Weird things about me...

1) I have no interest in clothes or fashion what so ever. They are just something to wear so as not to frighten or blind the people around me.

2)That said, my clothes must be spotlessly clean, perfectly ironed and colour co-ordinated before I can go out! All together now, can we say OCD?

3) No interest in clothes, but LOVE gorgeously feminine underwear, and have it in all colours.

4) I'm not a big hairstyle person either. I'm sure my hair looks like it's been attacked by wild chickens half the time, but as long as my regrowth is bleached regulary, then I don't care about style.

5) I have a thing about teeth and feet. I don't like to look at people's feet no matter how pretty their puppies are! Now teeth are a different story. I love beautiful teeth! I'm forever cleaning mine, and the one thing we'll never run out of in this house is toothpaste........and toilet paper (but that's a whole nuther story! lol)

6) I'm obsessed with handbags. I change my bag everyday to suit my outfit, and have many in every colour, texture and style you can think of!

7) I must sleep in a cold bedroom. My poor One True Love goes to bed rugged up like he's going to the snow, while I'm laying on top of the covers with the air/con blowing on me all night.

Now I'd like to tag Kari & Kijsa, and Rosie @ Rosie's Whimsy. I hope I didn't scare too many of you away, but it was a weird things tag right? Hello? Anyone there? Hello? tap...tap....is this thing on?

Haaaa.....you have me laughing out loud here...I so enjoyed your list, and it's not too weird, I'll come back. ha!

I was nice reading more about you.

Rose

Nunnie's Attic said...

Thank you so much for the award! And congratulations on receiving it yourself. Totally deserving you are!

Your weird facts were great! I too have a penchant for nice teeth. It's one of the first things I notice on people. And I've been known to tell complete strangers "Hey, you have nice teeth."

Thanks again!
Love,
Julie

Gorgeous flower! What is it? Congrats on the award, and I just loved reading your list! I'm not a fashion girl either. Shopping is frustrating as sizes don't fit me, so I give up! Handbags, not that's another matter ;o) Happy Days ((HUGS))

Rosie's Whimsy said...

A great way to start my morning. Your random facts were very insightful. LOL Isn't it fun to share these things about each other......makes us a closer community. I especially identify with #7!!!!

Thank you so much for the award. You are so good to me! I will try to dig up 7 somewhat interesting things to share that won't make you all catatonic :-)

((hugs)) Rosie

Isn't it amazing how we all kind just find more odd things to share about ourselves! *lol* Loved your list!

CIELO said...

I enjoyed reading about you’re "weirdness self" (lol). You are so totally such a sexy woman… No sense of fashion… but oh, so spotless where you need to be. Cute!

Have a beautiful day!

Good Evening Amanda,
"CONGRATULATION'S" on a very well deserved Award. I think you are one totally fabulous person. "CONGRATULATION'S" to the ones you passed it on to as well. The flowers that your Precious Princess took for us are beautiful. I'm sure they are from your flower garden. I don't think you are weird one bit. I'm not a fashion diva either. Clothes are clothes and as long as they are comfy on me, well that's all that matters to me. I don't have but 2 handbags, so I use what I have all the time. I do see alot of pretty ones in the stores tho. My hair, I don't try to style it either. Most of the time, I keep it pulled back off of my neck and face. I can't sleep when it's hot either. In fact, it warmed up to 72 degrees here today and I turned my Air-conditioner on. LOL. Yep, I sure did. I keep a fan by my bedside year round going. By the way, I love your picture you have for your Avitar. You are a very beautiful woman. Take care my friend and have a great day. May God Bless You and Yours.

Love & Hugs,
Karen H.

Good mroning!! I loved your list, I'll plan to come back and see you! I am glad you added me to your list, and I will do the same but don't expect it soon.. I am in the throes of planning a wedding that will take place on the 29th of March!

You are so cute and funny. I loved this. If I ever get enough time, I will do it too. As I write this my six year old is yelling, "Mooooom!" He wants me to read Pinocchio. We just started it Friday in the classic version. He is hooked. I hope it improves some behaviors. Hugs, Kathi

How fun to learn "weird" things about you! I thought you would have been a clothes and hair girl! You always look so fashionable and have pretty hair in your pictures. Funny about the feet....I'm the same way, but I do like cute feet. I love to look at a pretty smile and pretty teeth too!
