I'm Special

The other day I won this monogrammed cosmetic bag in a giveaway from

But then I decided I would use it as a pencil case for school

I bet all of my classmates are so jealous!!

Lauren Nicole Gifts is still doing 30 days of giveaways... so go enter to win something!

I also won a couple of awards this week:

Sweet Brittany Ann @ Living in the Moment gave me this award. I have seen this award being passed around the blogosphere and was so sad no one was giving it to me... but now I have it... muhaha!! Thanks Brittany Ann!!

The rules:
I must list 7 things about myself...

1. I love cookie dough. I love it more than actual cookies. I could eat a whole role of cookie dough.... hmm.. now I am hungry.
2. I think that since I have dyed my hair brown I am a lot calmer than I was at as a blonde... other people have commented on this too.
3. While I study I listen to CDs of French songs and Italian songs... I can't understand them but they relax me.
4. I am CONSTANTLY losing things... especially my license and debit card... it drives my husband crazy but I am used to it by now
5. I did not know how to use the laundry machine until I was 20 yrs old. My mom would drive to my college and pick up my dirty laundry and return it pressed, folded/hanged every week. I was spoiled.
6. I love trying new things... You will almost never hear me say no to anything!
7. I believe in superstitions. Test days, football days, other important days always have some sort of ritual or clothing that MUST be worn or I feel completely crazy that day.

And now I must pass it on. This award goes to some of my brand new followers:
Drews Mom @ More Than Enough
Sheila @ Ma Vie Folle

****
And Jeannette @ "Cooler Ranch or Nacho Cheese?" gave me this award. I have never seen this award before so feel so lucky to receive it! Although dragons freak me out a little bit.

Because it has to do with "loyalty", I am going to give it to my top commenters!! These ladies make my day by all of their sweet/helpful/funny/inspiring comments and I can't thank them enough!!

Kathie @ my net finds

And last but not least, I leave you with a couple of pictures of Gracie in one of her new outfits...


Don't you just love her??

  6. Generally I'm against clothing dogs, but for reals your dog looks insanely cute in those pics.

    Also I love listening to Shakira in Spanish when I write. Totally soothing.

  10. Amy, thank you for stopping over at my blog.
    Gracie is so cute. My Skye is a Cairn Terrier.
    I lost my Yorkie last year at age 14. We have had Westie's too. My daughter has my grand puppy Charlie who is a Westie. Skye is what Toto was in the Wizard of OZ only lighter in color. I didn't want to replace the memories of my dogs so my kids talked me into the Cairn. We love her so much. Thanks for stopping over. You blog looks wonderful and I look forward to getting to know you. Debby
