{Tusind Tak!}

"Tusind tak!" is "Thank you!" in Danish (Hubby is from Denmark) and I've always liked the phrase because it's like 'thousand thanks'.

This post is quite delayed but I was given the Kreativ Blogger award again by two wonderful bloggers who I wanted to mention in a separate post - JCAUNCMOM at Crewsing Thru My 50s (thank you so much for your kind words!!) and LIZPOMS at my favorite things (thank you, thank you!). They both have great blogs that express lovely outlooks on life. If you haven't already, you should definitely check them out!

just a random picture because the flowers on my nightstand right now are sooooo pretty

So here are 7 (rather random) things...

1. I've lived in Ohio, California, Montana, Georgia, Massachusetts, Missouri, Thailand, and Washington State, and have traveled through a bit more of North America, Europe and Asia, and once to Australia and South America.

2. I dream of moving to Austin, Texas. I've never been to Austin, Texas.

3. I once met John Grisham and he gave me advice on law school. I did not go to law school.

4. My first major was economics and I ended up with a degree in political science.

5. I have an M.Ed. and have taught for Head Start, in an inner-city program for at-risk children, and in a special needs classroom in the public school system.

6. I don't like to have anyone else do my laundry or ironing. I usually have a big ironing pile.

7. I arrange my daughters' closets by rainbow color - Red, (Pink), Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, - with White first and Brown/Black last. That's not weird, right?!

Happy Weekend!

Awww, thanks!!

Thank you SO much to Preppy Buckeye and Marisa at According to Moi who sent me the Kreativ Blogger Award and The Dishy Decorator who sent me the Cutest Blog Award! They all have wonderful blogs, so if you don't know them already, you should hop on over and check them out!

Both of these awards ask that you list 7 things about yourself that most people probably don't know and then ask others to do the same. There are so many wonderful blogs that I read that right now I don't know where to begin.... But I wanted to go ahead and thank According to Moi, Dishy Decorator, and Preppy Buckeye and share my list of 7 things about me (I thought I would combine them instead of subjecting y'all to 14 things!)

So...

1. My husband and I never lived in the same state until we were married.

2. The day after our wedding, we loaded up a U-Haul and drove to Boston for grad school. It's been a great big adventure ever since.

3. I once saw Lindsay Wagner at the Oriental Hotel in Bangkok and before I could help myself blurted out "The Bionic Woman!!!!!" My husband says she heard me but I maintain that she couldn't have possibly. Because I'm cool like that.

4. I skipped 6th grade.

5. I was a vegetarian for 3 years.

6. I taught preschool in Thailand in exchange for Thai language lessons for Hubby and myself.

7. My hands sweat during airplane take-offs, at the slightest turbulence, and if I even think about being up somewhere very high. Still, I do fly, and have been to the top of the Eiffel Tower, up the St. Louis arch, in that super high skyscraper in Hong Kong, some crazy swan ride I had to pedal high up over an amusement park (Bakken) in Denmark, and on the glass elevator at The Peachtree Plaza in Atlanta. Sweaty hands, anxiety, and all. Uggghhh...

A couple more posts on Las Vegas coming soon!
