Awards?

I have to admit something. You might not know this, but I am pretty awesome. And from time to time I have received recognition for my awesomeness. Here are all my awards to date:

#1. Spanish 1 Student of the Year- 9th grade. I was awesome. I truly deserved this award. I memorized vocab like a mo-fo. Sadly I used up all my allotted brain space for memorizing the days of the week and fruits and now I can't remember crap about anything. Except this award. I remember it. I don't actually have it. I think my mom does somewhere. It's possible she suspected it would be one of my few great accomplishments in life. She's pretty smart.

#2. Best Halloween Costume- 10th grade Halloween dance. I was dressed as Raggedy Ann. I looked amazing! Patchwork dress, red cheeks, black eyelashes, freckles, red braids. I totally rocked it! Unfortunately I was 1 of only about 20 people that dressed up, so there was some loserish feelings going on. Plus my date was a good 13 inches taller than me and my red cheeks kept rubbing on his shirt. On the plus side, 1st prize was pizza and a limo ride. SCORE!

#3. Angi over at Sleep for Dreaming named me as one of her 8 favorite or recently discovered bloggers. I'm so totally stoked! I'm surprised anyone even reads this thing. I doubt I'm as funny or entertaining to anyone else as I am to myself. Anyway, I really appreciate this award. I'd like to thank Angi for always leaving such great comments.









Proximidade Award - thanks Angi!

“This blog invests and believes in PROXIMITY–nearness in space, time, and relationships! These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers! Deliver this award to eight bloggers who will choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.”

Who did you have for Spanish in the 9th grade? It better have been my mom!

Was the Halloween party a FFAD dance? Who hosted this shin-dig and what the heck did I wear?

Thanks for the award however digital doesn't cut it. I need something I can hang on the fridge.

Just wanted to let you know that I can't seem to make up my mind on 8! I'm not very good at picking one over another...didn't want you to think I'm just blowing it off.
