Could this week have started any better? I am honored and flattered to announce that I have been nominated and awarded the “Versatile Blogger Award”! It is a great honor and achievement for me as I have only been at this blogging gig for like a minute. I would like to personally and especially thank Danya at Ediblesubstance for this wonderful nomination!

First things first, there are some rules that come along with this distinction:

2) Share 7 things about myself
3) Pass the award on to 15 more bloggers that I enjoy
4) Contact the bloggers I have chosen to let them know that they have been selected!
So here we go!
Seven Things About Me:
1. I am INTENSELY competitive. I was once sent off in a touch football game (thats American Football) for unecessary roughness.
