KREATIV BLOGGER AWARD

Deb, a fellow blogger and the owner of a sweet little etsy shop - DebsDesigns401 - has honored me as one of the recipients of this Kreativ blogger award!

There are rules to accepting this award, but they are pretty simple. I just need to type 7 things that you may not know about me, then pick 7 people to pass the award on to.

So here are the seven things you may not know about me:
(btw, when I mentioned this to my hubby, all he said was "Oh god...")

1. I'm a bit of a wallflower... very soft spoken and a bit on the shy side when it comes to social situations. My Mr. Hyde shows up in business situations though, where I can be very much the opposite!

2. Almost everything I've learned about computers and the programs I use, I've learned on my own or thru osmosis listening to Al talking through his work day.

3. I used to play the accordion when I was younger - haven't picked one up in over 25 years tho!

4. I love animals - virtually all animals except beetles. As long as it's a controlled situation, I don't think there's an animal I've ever been afraid to be around... in fact I used to freak my kids out when we'd go to the zoo and I'd hunt down the snake handler so I could hold a python or boa constrictor.

5. When I was married the first time, all of my nieces on my husband's side of the family used to call me "Anut Karen" instead of "Aunt Karen" - due to a spelling error on a card from one of them - and the nickname stuck! I think that was just the beginning of a trend, because Al's nickname for me is "Cashew"... cuz he thinks I'm nutty, sweet, and a bit twisted.

6. I can't dance to save my life. 2 left feet? I think I have 3! Once in high school, we had a father/daughter dance that I was a little bit worried about attending because my father was a bit unsteady on his feet due to a stroke. I was the one that ended up on my butt at one point with him having to help me up!

7. My first preteen crush was on Bobby Sherman - if you don't know who he is, thank you - now I feel really old and out of it!

Now here are the seven blogs I've selected to honor with this award!
