A few days ago, I was very honored to receive the Stylish Blogger Award from Mickey over at A Helicopter Mom! I was very shocked to receive such an award, as this blog is my new venture, and while it's doing very well so far, is nowhere near as popular as some of the blogger biggies out there with gazillions of followers. Hopefully someday! I enjoy blogging though, and this was just reinforcement that I must not totally suck at it, and that I should keep on keeping on. So Thank You, Mickey! I was so happy that you thought I was deserving that me and my babies did a little "happy dance" to celebrate! Boy, am I glad there weren't any cameras rolling, as this mama can not dance! Period. At all. But it's fun to do it anyway sometimes. The babies think it's funny, and they don't speak English yet, so they can't go around announcing to the world what a goof their mommy is!

7 Things About Brandy:
- I am about to turn 30 in June. However, I am not acknowledging this milestone. I will be celebrating my 1st Anniversary of being 29. For about the next 10 years. Sheesh, I feel old! Maybe I should put together a birthday event here...How does "The Dirty 30 Event" sound? Hmm...The possibilities!
- I am terrified, and I do mean terrified of bees, wasps and other flying, stinging insects. I have never been stung, but I still shriek and run like a little girl when they are in my general vicinity. (Hey, at least I'm burning some calories!)
- I have all 7 seasons of The Golden Girls on DVD, and when 3 of the 4 members passed away, I cried with each of their deaths. I even have a daughter named Sophia, although it's not because of the show...well....not fully, at least...Picture it...Virginia, 2009....
- I have major social anxiety. I am painfully shy until you get to know me, and I am very anxious around people I don't know. In real life, at least. Here I am not shy about anything. But once you do know me, I am very blunt and you would probably have a hard time getting me to shut up!
- My first "crush" was on Bert from Sesame Street. Yes, really. There was an episode where Ernie played a goodnight song on his bugle, and some mean, evil sheep came in and carried Bert away in his bed. I apparently would cry and cry...I thought they were going to hurt him! Now, this was as a pre-schooler, and my memory may be off, but I *think* my mom egged this on for her amusement. Not that I blame her. I'm sure it was pretty funny!
- I am a VERY picky eater, but I love to cook. (Go figure!) I will not eat the following things, even for money: Onions, chewy liquid chickens AKA eggs, seafood of any kind, peanuts or peanut butter, pumpkin pie, sweet potatoes, most junk food, turkey, cereal, and anything that even remotely resembles a carcass. Now I am NOT a vegetarian by any means. I like meat. I just can't stand it LOOKING like something dead. I also HAVE to eat my meat well done. I get queasy when it's pink and oozing...ughhh...I just threw up in my mouth a little! Moving on....
- I am the Queen Of Useless Information. I retain things that most people wouldn't, and I have a somewhat photographic memory. There are people that will no longer play trivia games with me for this exact reason. I usually win. By a landslide. Go, me!
I would like to pass the Stylish Blogger Award to the following blogs, which I LOVE...And you should, too!
