It’s Monday so I got far too late a start on my work day (which might have something to do with my having spent over an hour trying to transfer my work e-mail from my laptop to the new computer).  But that is not the point of this post.  The point of this post is that my friend Wendy (of OperaBuffo fame) gave me a Kreativ Award.  Thanks Wendy!

So here is the deal with the Kreativ Award (copied mostly verbatim from Wendy’s site ’cause I’m all kinds of lazy like that):

The directions to this award are as follows…Recipients-You are charged with completing certain guidelines once receiving this award (you know, if you want)!

1. Copy the pretty picture and post it on your blog.
2. Thank the person that gave it to you and link to their blog. (Thanks Ms. W!)
3. Write 7 things about yourself we don’t know.
4. Choose 7 other bloggers you would like to pass the award to.
5. Link to those 7 other bloggers.
6. Notify your 7 bloggers.

Okay, so here are my seven things:

1.  I do not know why pizza with canadian bacon and pineapple is most often referred to as “Hawaiian Pizza.”  I know that Hawaii is famous for its pineapple, but…it’s one of two toppings on the pie. Is it a matter of national pride to choose to say Hawaiian instead of “Canadian bacon and pineapple?”  Is it laziness? What is it??

2.  I am a damn good Ringo when playing Beatles Rock Band on easy mode

3.  Over the course of my life I have been able to play the piano, the violin, the ukelele and the clarinet (sort of) but somehow that damn tambourine has always eluded me.

4.   My most recent bout of PMS manifested itself by making me bawl my eyes out at the last few episodes of the last season of the Gilmore Girls.  I sat on the couch crying my eyes out and telling the cat “I don’t know why! I’m not that sad!” and then bawling some more.

5.  I make Will eat all of the green Skittles and pink Starburst.

6. The movie Role Models taught me why Starbucks insists on calling its large a “Venti.”

7.  At one point in my early twenties, I owned eleven pairs of overalls.

And now for seven bloggers, in no particular order:

Jennifer Garrett

Sizzle of Sizzle Says

The Tooth Fairy’s Adventures

Keri’s Korner
