one-lovely-blog-award

My dear friend San was so sweet to give me this blog award last week
I am accepting it by doing the following:

1) Post the award logo on your blog and link back to the person who nominated you.
2) Tell seven things about yourself.
3) Nominate up to 15 additional bloggers whom you think deserve the award.
4) Post a comment on the blog of each nominee to tell them they have been nominated!


Here go the seven things about me you might not know, yet.
  1. I can't stand scratching noises on the plate while eating, they give me the heebie jeebies and it is impossible for me to keep eating because my teeth start hurting.
  2. I love thunderstorms, it's always so cozy inside the house or in bed at night when there's a storm outside.
  3. I hate wearing socks, I think I've said that before, I try to avoid them best I can. I only need them while working out or going for walks with the pup, because my sneakers give me blisters without.
  4. I am obsessed with my new blender/ juicer. I have found some amazing recipes online, so we kind of use it all the time! The whole family is hooked.
  5. 9 more days of work and I will have off for 2 whole weeks! Yay, I cannot wait and hope the hubs will be able to take off as well, so we can go visit family and friends who live by the North Sea. Hoping the weather up there will get a little better until then.
  6. I can't stand the volume of commercials. Every time the commercial break comes up, which is always super loud compared to the show or movie you're watching, I have to mute the sound. I think it's unbearable. Does it annoy you, too?
  7. And last but not least, it drives me nuts when people don't know the difference between "there", "they're" and "their". Sure English is only my second language, and I am positive that I make mistakes here and there, but this one is really important to me! (ha, I bet you'll pay extra attention to me spelling it right from now on, huh?!)

I am nominating Gabriella, Stephanie, Miki, Liz and Claire - have fun with it, ladies!

Happy Monday to all and hugs,

I hate how the volume goes up in commercials too, especially now during the Olympics!

Thanks for accepting the award and playing along :) I always love to learn more things about you.

I can't stand socks in the summer, but I love my socks in the winter.

I am also jealous for the two weeks off... and I hope you get to go to the Northern Sea!

Congrats on your award! That's so fun! You deserve it! :]
I agree with every one of these but ESPECIALLY #7. Drives me bonkers. That and "your" vs "you're." UGH!

Have an awesome week! Until your awesome vacation, that is ;]

Nancy said...

Ugh, grammer mistakes make me crazy too! And so do loud commercials, which they SAY aren't loud. Um, yes they are!

Miki's scrapbook said...

Hahaha, I totally agree about #7! :p I guess being that we picked up English as a second language, we were forced to pay extra attention to its grammar as learners, so maybe we're more aware and try not to make such mistakes.

Thanks for the nomination! I think I'll be doing this sometime next week ;).

Have a great one, Chrissy! ;D

Lauren said...

Liz Kantner said...
