I'm Blushing...

adorable,

always interesting,

beautiful-to-look-at

Yes, I am so grateful to Whitney over at the Preppy Pink&Green Puppy, for giving me this sunshine award. We can definitely ALL benefit from some sunshine in this groundhog-induced state of brrr. Go check out her blog if you like charm&cuteness...& who doesn't like charm&cuteness?

Seven Things About ME!:

• eBay was my gateway drug to Etsy.
• My Prince wants to get another dog. But I'm not unconvinced that the White Dog isn't an only furchild. I mean, we're already putting her through the trauma of little human siblings, right?
• Sometimes I sing my old sorority songs to Pretty Little Bare Feet as lullabies. Sometimes I even sing the dirty ones when I'm trying to entertain her - but that's only until she starts repeating what we're saying!
• I fully intend to set an alarm on my iPhone for the Lilly Pulitzer stationery sample sale on One Kings Lane tomorrow...& the Lilly Pulitzer sample sale on Rue La La next week!
• Sometimes I watch Elmo's World even if I've already put Pretty Little Bare Feet down for her nap. I find Elmo intellectually superior to the trashy courtroom shows & talk shows on daytime network television.
• I used to get the Sunday newspaper every week, but I got behind because I actually read all of my magazines&newspapers, pretty much cover to cover. Then I recently discovered that the birth announcements are in the Saturday newspaper where we live now, so now I'm getting the Saturday newspapers because I have an unhealthy fixation on baby names. (In fact, if Pretty Little Bare Feet starts to Montessori nursery school in the fall, I have a faint hope in the back of my mind that I could *gasp* start another blog, & join the ranks of the baby name bloggers, as well!)
• After about fourteen years of addictive tanning, I quit cold turkey when somebody mistook me for older than my actual age, for the first&only time in my life. I miss it, but I'm more vain about looking old than I am about looking less-than-bronze, I guess. I'd like to note that since that day, I have been mistaken for a fifteen-to-sixteen-year-old - by somebody who did not work for commission! ;)
