versatile blogger award.

did you know i tweet now?!  i do!  i joined as part of the process of the disney blog stalking for the meetup for the princess half.  i didn't get in.  but i did meet some fabulous friends via the twitter, and many of these tweeps have blogs.  most are disney obsessed, rundisney fanatics, fitness and running conscious; just like me!  i have already learned a lot from these people, and they help keep me motivated.  thanks to twitter, i have a lot more blogs to read now!

last night, just before bedtime, i was tagged in a tweet from the fabulous pavement princess (aka ashley), letting me know she added me to her list of versatile bloggers.  i was touched!  thanks, ashley!  i didn't know that this honor existed, but i'll take it!  i don't have many readers, so it warms my heart that someone put my blog out there for sharing.

the rules for the versatile blogger are as follows:

1. add the versatile blogger award photo on a blog post.

2.  thank the person who presented you with the award and link back to him or her in your post.

3.  share seven things about yourself.

4.  pass the award along to 15 favorite bloggers. contact the chosen bloggers to let them know about the award.

with #1 and 2 done above, here is the rest.

 7 things about me.  this is so hard.  i am an uninteresting person, and this is totally going outside my box.
1. born and raised in ohio
2. i dabbled in figure skating in college.  i was no olympian, but i had some tricks up my sleeve.
3. i am a sweet toothed fanatic.  i can't go a day with out some sort of sweet dessert, and fruit doesn't cut it.
4. diet coke is a staple for me (only in a can, sometimes bottle).
5.  i have nannied for the last 11 years, and been with the oldest child for 13.
6. i am excited to go to the annual vera bradley outlet sale this weekend!  it's a yearly tradition i enjoy, being the vera addict i am.  love the deals, it's the only time i buy vera (unless there is a super deal online or at the outlet stores).  i have lists to shop for others who can't go which i enjoy doing as much as for myself.
7.  i enjoy doing laundry, but i hate to iron or vacuum!

here are my 15 nominations for the versatile blogger award. i have included a couple of blogs i have followed for years, and some that are newer to me, but i have to read them all almost daily now!
