Blog Award/Questionnaire

I received the "Over the Top Blog Award" from Savitri and a few other Bleeps (I am really sorry I can't find each person, but I can't search my comments - just discovered that), so I thought I'd at least complete the questionnaire. I'm breaking the rules of the award, but at least I'm completing it!

1. Where is your cell phone? Plugged in the iMac to charge
2. Your hair? Short and Messy
3. Your mother? Strong

5. Your favorite food? Thai
6. Your dream last night? Sad
7. Your favorite drink? ice cold Pepsi, preferably from the can (at this moment)

10. Your hobby? Paper crafts, eating, shopping, traveling
11. Your fear? Lots of anything, especially spiders
12. Where do you want to be in 6 years? Living out of the country
13. Where were you last night? Downtown DC meeting with wedding clients
14. Something that you aren’t? Talkative
15. Muffins? Chocolate
16. Wish list item? Macbook Pro
17. Where did you grow up? Maryland
18. Last thing you did? Surfed Internet
19. What are you wearing? Old Navy active wear (jogging suit sounded like my mom)
20. Your TV? Everywhere, even the bathroom!
21. Your Pets? Ozzy the Yorkie
22. Friends? A few
23. Your life? Fun
24. Your mood? Motivated
25. Missing Someone? Hubby
26. Vehicle? CC the CR-V
27. Something your not wearing? Necklace
28. Your favorite store? Target (I can get everything I need there and actually be satisfied with that!)
29. Your favorite color? Brown
30. When was the last time you laughed? Today
31. Last time you cried? I don't know
32. Your best friend? Hubby
33. One place that I go to over and over? Dominican Republic
34. Facebook? Yes
35. Favorite place to eat? Thai Landing (Baltimore)

Finding five people I’d like to give this to is IMPOSSIBLE, so I invite all of my Bleeps to join in on this fun questionnaire!

Orlando Updates

It's much sunnier in Orlando. It is supposed to be 85 degrees and I don't think I packed for that hot of a day! Today, we plan to do some more Disney stuff, like Magic and Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios. Last night, we kicked it off with Epcot. They had the International Food and Wine Festival that I went to last year and loved! They have all of the foods where you can sample from each country. Some of my favorites were Poland mushroom soup, Italian baked ziti, Chilean empanada! I'm so tired, but am ready for a new Disney day!

Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you all that Kristina Werner selected my card for last week's Color Inspiration Challenge! I was so happy!

Also, don't forget to sign up for some blog candy by Sunday.

Here are a few quick photos from Epcot:

I picked a pearl from an oyster "in Toyko."

Germans (really, they hire natives of each country)

French crepes....MMMMM

Blog Awards

Unfortunately, this morning, I have no project to share. It's only partially my fault because I have plenty of things to show you, but I accidentally left my USB drive at Ritz Camera last night. So, I'll have to go by and pick it up today. It has all of my photos on there...ugh! So, I'll post something this evening.

Until then, I thought I do something a little different and that is list some of my favorite blogs I enjoy reading everyday. And the blog awards go to...

Angie Tieman
Catherine Martinez
Dawn McVey

Please visit their blogs. I think you will really like them as much as I do!
