Someone thinks I'm stylish!!

I am so very honored to accept the Stylish Blogger Award by Kami, aka Marathon1981.

Kami creates hilarious/adorable/wonderful little creatures (case-in-point), and I am so thrilled to know that such sweet, talented people enjoy reading my little ol' blog!

Thanks, Kami!!

Now The 4 duties to perform upon receiving this award are:

1. Thank, and link back to, the person who awarded you this award

2. Share 7 things about yourself 

3. Award 15 recently discovered great bloggers

4. Contact these bloggers and tell them about the award!

So...7 things about me! Here we go!

1. I'm vegan...and I looooove food!! Haha! People always tease me because I'm pretty small/petite, but boy, can I eat! Yummm!

2. I'm definitely addicted to lip balm... I realized yesterday that I was literally carrying around six different tubes of lip balm in my purse....and then I bought a new one. But...I don't like chapped lips!

3. I live with four doggies...and 3/4 of them are mine! It gets really crazy sometimes (our house is pretty small!) but I love them so much, I wouldn't have it any other way ♥

4. I just graduated with my B.S. in Geoenvironmental Studies in December '10. It took me 6 1/2 years to get my degree because I transferred to several different universities and went out-of-state for a few years. But I wouldn't trade those years or my experience for anything - it made me who I am today!

5. I just started grad school in the same field (Geoenvironmental) - with a concentration in Geology and Coastal Geomorphology. I'm a nerd!!!

6. I have 4 tattoos, and definitely plan on getting more. I don't know exactly what or where yet, though. Actually 3 of my 4 tattoos were spur-of-the-moment things, which I prefer. ;-)

7. I used to be absolutely terrified of children! I just never had any maternal instincts, or even knew how to interact with them - until I was about 24 or 25! Now I babysit my advisor's 3 kids, and love it (most of the time). Maybe I'm just a really late-bloomer?

8. I have Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) - I feel really down-in-the-dumps in the wintertime... I'm just not meant for cold weather! Although this winter I've been feeling pretty good. :-)

*Oops, I just realized I was only supposed to tell you 7 things about myself. Well, you can blame it on the fact that I'm an overachiever!! (Eep, was that #9??)
