4. Thank the person who nominated you and add a short blurb about them.

So excited to receive this award from The Gal! She is one of my dearest blog buddies. The Gal writes about politics, baseball, movies, and her life in Chicagoland. I aspire to be the friend she is to her friends.

Seven things about me?

1) As a drinker, I am a lightweight. Really. It's because of the medications I take. And it's kind of funny to me. I used to be able to drink a startling amount. I went about twelve years without drinking and then I started having an occasional glass of wine.

2) I would love to spend a month in Italy and Greece. Along the Mediterranean Sea.

3) When I eat a trail-mix type of food, I like to pick out and eat almost all of the food I don't like first, then it's a mix of my favorite stuff.

4) Although I am diligent with my skincare routine, I do not wear any make up.

5) I love every second of being on vacation but I would have a hard time not doing a lot for an extended period of time. Speaking of loving every second of vacation, I think I'm really good at celebrating moments. Of being present.

6) I might investigate going on a whale watch. I haven't been in quite a few years. I don't want to go to Bar Harbor, though, it's too touristy. Maybe from Quebec.

7) I just found out Elvis Costello is going to be in concert in November. I think I must get tickets!

Ok, seven nominees:

Diana, Cristy, Paula, Cat, Mrs. Chili, Bev, and you!

Your number 3, that's how I eat all the time. I like to save my favorite stuff for last. That way I know my meal or snack or whatever is going to end on a good note. Thanks for the nomination. I think I can handle coming up with 7 more random facts about myself.

Haha, for trail mix stuff, I just pick out the stuff I don't like and throw them away.... wasteful I know but that's why I rarely buy those type of product

You were on my list of people, but then I realized Gal already tagged you :) The whale watch thing sounds great--one year I took the Alaska Marine Highway (ocean-going ferries) from Bellingham, WA to Haines, AK (a four day trip, with a cabin, woohoo!) It is called "the poor man's cruise) as the ferry takes the same route up the Inside Passage as the cruise ships do. Anyhow, my point was that I saw an amazing number of both humpback whales and orca. The coolest thing was seeing the humpbacks breach--it was amazing!

Congratulations on your award. Huzzah! I love to read your blog, so it's fitting that you've received it, and a nomination from Boss Nurse, too. Lovely!
