Well even if I have been MIA, busy as a one armed monkey and taking a time-out from CrossFit for a week, I still managed to inspire people! Is it because I am brutally honest in my posts about how I feel about everything? Either way I was pleased as punch that Ramblings of a Babymama nominated me! She inspired me to workout {when I do, ha ha}. So thanks muffin!!

Now to get to the heart of it, being nominated comes with responsibilities {Peter Parker would understand this immediately}, so here they are:

• Thank and link the person who nominated you {done!}
• List the rules and display the award {done!}
• Share seven facts about yourself {see below}
• Nominate fifteen other amazing blogs and remember to comment on their blogs to let them know you’ve nominated them and provide a link to your post. {hrrrmmmm I don’t follow that many but I will try}
• (Optional) You can proudly display the award logo anywhere on your blog e.g. on your sidebar and also follow the blogger that nominated you. {I like it! I will display it!!}

7 WILD AND CRAZY FACTS ABOUT ME

1. I used to work for Blockbuster and have a knack for being able to name a movie that two random actors have been in together {IF they have been in a movie together}. This all stems from customers coming in and saying “I am looking for that movie with that guy in it”. You don’t say. Which guy? No? Ok, let’s walk the store.
2. I taught myself how to do Tarot card readings in high school. I have been told by more than one person that I am scarily accurate.
3. I don’t plan on having children. I like my life exactly the way it is, married and having free time to explore other interests like my photography. And do crossfit. And blog.
4. When I get worked on by my masseuse of chiropractor and I am in pain, I will yell crazy things, like Steve Carrel ala The 40 Year Old Virgin. I think it makes them hurt me more. “Ahhhhh Kelly Clarkson!!”
5. I have no ability to design a space. Or paint. Or wallpaper. My sister, on the other hand, is a home stager, where all she is that. I see who got my mom’s genes for that–not me! I once painted a friend’s closet because that’s the only thing they had faith in me doing!! Ha ha, I don’t blame them!
6. I am a natural baker. I bake the best cookies and cupcakes. Unfortunately I don’t use this skill anymore, since that is dangerous to my health.
7. I love cats. A lot. And I miss not owning one. My husband is allergic and thus I gave up my favourite animal for him. But don’t think I don’t pet the shit out of other people’s cats or watch a ton of cat videos on youtube!!
