Writing

Kelly @ Keeping up with Kelly & Co.  Tagged me for a fun handwriting assignment.  I'm almost embarassed to post mine because her's puts me to shame!!  She was a teacher and her handwriting is amazing and so is her drawing.. I'm so jealous of people that can draw!!  I guess that's why I choose to take photos instead!!
Ok here are the rules:

Write down the following, take a picture, and then post!

1. Name/Blog Name

2. Left-handed, right-handed, or both

3. Favorite letters to write

4. Least-favorite letters to write

5. Write: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

6. Write in CAPS: CRAB, HUMOR, KALEIDOSCOPE, PAJAMAS, GAZILLION

7. Favorite song lyrics

8. Tag 5 people

9. Any special note or drawing

Please don't laugh at my horrible hand writing.  I used to have pretty hand writing..ok I'm lying I never had pretty hand writing.  But I hear that bad hand writing=genius. I wonder why I'm not a genius? 

You would think as a kid I would've practiced my handwriting while bored at school but I instead prefected the art of doodling stars, spirals, and boxes. 

For the record I do not love or hate any letter of the alphabet more than the other.  I just chose random letters that came to my mind. 

I'm totally embarassed of my drawing.  I even suck at "stick."  In the second grade I won a red ribbon at the fair for drawing a clown.  Maybe I should've drawn that for you instead...maybe another day.

Have a good Thursday!!

I'm super excited that Kelly at Kelly & Co. gave me an award!!

You just have to go visit Kelly and look at all the creative stuff she bakes! She's always got something exciting going on in her life so her blog's never boring!!

Now, the rules of this award are pretty simple. I have to list 10 interesting facts about myself, (which will probably be more random than interesting), and then pass the award on to other lovely bloggers.

Ok I'm not real good at these kinds of things but I'll go ahead and tell you a little about my life for those of you who are just starting to read my blog.

1. I'm married to a guy I met three and 1/2 years ago. I met him at an "after Hours establishment" aka a bar, I was there for a Randy Rogers Concert and so was he. We spend most of our year at Rodeos or at least he does. His dream is to Rodeo Professionally.

2. I am the most scatter brained, messiest, forgetful, emotional person you'll ever meet....or at least Sean thinks so :) Seriously though, ask anyone you know. I loose everything and I have really bad memory problems. Sean gets put out with me because I'll tell him the same story like three times, not remembering I've ever told him before.

3. I have a fear of needles, the dark (or at least what's in the dark) and I refuse to watch horror movies. I pass out around needles, which you already know because of the post I wrote last week.

4. I love my dogs SOOOOO much!!! They are both spoiled rotten and I get in trouble for spoiling them because Apparently it makes them misbehave while duck hunting or something like that. Banjo is 1 and 1/2 and Birdie is 9 months. They are both Chocolate Labs.

5. I have Celiac Disease and can't eat Wheat. I am beginning to enjoy being allergic to wheat because I would weight 5,000 lbs if I could eat bread and cakes and cookies and doughnuts and fast food and all that unhealthy stuff.

6. I have discovered that I LOVE taking pictures. And better than that I LOVE learning about photography. I'm even looking into taking classes at the local college to get my minor in photography. I already have my B.A of Arts with a emphasis in Speech Communication.

7. In College I fell in love with a Persian kitten at the pet store and against my Dad's smarter judgment I bought the cat. I was told it was a female and I named her Lily and after giving her a bath about two weeks later I found out that She was really a HE. Unless girl cats have balls :) He decided he didn't want to use the litter box any more and I had to give him away.

8. I have two sisters, Leah 21, and Melissa 18 and one Brother In Law, Jason 19. Leah and Jason started dating around the same time Sean and I started dating, but neither one of us knew that our brother and sister even knew each other!!! They only dated about a year. Melissa is going to try out for the Razorback cheer squad next year and has a good shot!

9. I'm obsessed with FOX News. It's all I listen to on my XM radio.

10. This is THE MOST BORING 10 things about me EVER. Sorry!!

Ok so here are some of the people I want to give this award to!

 Laura at Life Happens

Melissa at Little Mrs. Married

Gina at Hug and Release

Jules at Rodman's Road of Life

Kee at 30 something and Still Finding my way

I'm Nuts

So I'd like to let you in on a little embarrassing secret of mine.

I love office supplies!

It's a weird obsession but I. really. love. office. supplies. really.

I had to run to Office Depot to get a new mouse for work and I was in there for an hour! I was very much unaware of the many different styles and colors of office supplies that are available now. I mean.. Check out these really pretty file folders. These are so much more appealing than the manila ones I use. (much more expensive too) But it would really just brighten my day at work to open my file folder and find COLOR!Look at all the different color paper clips etc.!!You can even get decorated scissors now!!And you don't have to buy the boring yellow Post It's anymore. Look at all the colors and designs!!

Holy Moly...look at all the colors. Did you know they made that many shades of Sharpies??
These were my splurges of the day. Paper clips that are swirly. My paperclipped papers are coolest in the office now...

I just couldn't resist buying these paper clips. They look like Hangers and clothes and made me wonder who in the world thought these would be a good idea... no one would ever buy these...except for me, but I'm obsessed with office supplies so I don't count.

And of course no office is complete without monogrammed Post Its.

Now that my paper clips and Post It's are colorful and exciting, I'm going to go to work!!!
