I'd like to thank the academy...

Today I received such sweet news.

And Baby Makes 6 was nominated for the Beautiful Blogger Award!

Not once, but twice!



Such a great way to kick off Valentine's Weekend.

So first, let me thank Chelle at It's A Hooah Life and The Improbable Housewife for this wonderful honor. Both are great blogs, and you should check them out in the very near future.

The rules for the award are as follows:
1. Thank the person(s) who nominated you and link to their blog(s). Done.
2. Copy the award and paste it to your blog. Look up. There it is.
3. Tell us 7 interesting things about yourself. Poo. I was never good at sharing.
4. Nominate 7 bloggers that you love and link to their blogs. Yes, yes. After #3.

So. Seven fun facts about moi.

::cue crickets chirping::

Ok, ok, I'll play.

1. I really love baking and cooking but I am afraid of the oven. I am terrified of getting burned.

2. I can't stand wearing shoes. I pretend that I would like to buy gorgeous, outfit-coordinating foot attire, but the truth is, I spend most of my time absolutely barefoot, so it would be a big fat waste of money.

3. I cannot make Jell-o. I have tried and I have failed. Over and over again. Oddly enough, I make excellent Jell-o shots. Even more oddly? I don't even *like* Jell-o unless it has booze in it.

4. One of my dreams is to be a spectator at one of every "final" of every major professional sport. So far, I have attended two World Series games, an NBA final game, a Stanley Cup game and Roland Garros. Still to go? Daytona, Superbowl, The Masters and The World Cup. I dream big.

5. I have anxiety over making phone calls. Especially to people I don't know. I will only order food over the phone if it's a starvation situation. It's weird.

6. I went to college for screenwriting. I never did anything with it because I was terrified of people judging my writing. And yet, here I am, an obsessive-compulsive blogger, who lives for comments. Go figure.

7. At some point in the near future, I would love to own a horse. A ranch would be better, but a horse will do.

So there. I'm a raging lunatic. Now you know.

Now, let me nominate seven phenomenal blogs.

1. 52 Books on T's Shelf
2. The Mommy Logs
3. Mommy of 1
4. The Greener Nest
5. Adventures of the Stay At Home Mom
6. The Happiness in Headstands
7. Adventures of the Reluctant Housewife

So there you have it.

Let me dash before the supermodels in gorgeous Marquesa gowns escort me off the stage while the end of my acceptance speech is drowned out by the theme to Dragonheart (and yes, I am that much of a nerd).
