Welcome to the Award Show!

Back at Christmas time, my fellow Maine-ah, and fellow Jennifer, awarded me the awesome and most prestigious Versatile Blogger Award!

I’m a total dweeb for waiting this long to officially receive it, but at the time I was taking a break from the blogosphere. Now, back in the swing of things, I want to say thank you SO much, Jennifer!!!

Please go check out her blog here, she is awesome, informative, and has two adorable little guys.

So, The Versatile Blogger award comes with some rules. It’s a sort of pay it forward thing for bloggers.

The Rules for The Versatile Blogger Award
1. Thank the award-giver and link back to them in your post.
2. Share 7 things about yourself.
3. Pass this award along to 15 recently discovered blogs you enjoy reading.
4. Contact your chosen bloggers to let them know about the award.

Here are 7 fun facts about me. If you love fun facts, please also check out these additional 25 things about me you might not know!

  1. I recently asked an 8 year old girl I work with to kill a spider for me during session. I hate them. For the record, she wouldn’t kill it and instead hid under my desk. I had to throw a tissue box at it. Not my best moment as a therapist.
  2. Strangers talk to me. A lot. My best friend would often take bets on how much of a person’s life story I would obtain in the time it took her to go to the bathroom or something while we were at the mall. 
  3. I don’t like hotdogs.
  4. I have worked at least 2 jobs for the past 10+ years. I am having anxiety because as of March 8, I will only have one job. What is this “free time” people speak of?
  5. The extent of my art ability is drawing stick people.
  6. I don’t like jello…..or any gelatinous

Now, here are 9 blogs I’d like to recognize with The Versatile Blogger award. (Sorry, I am running low on time so I can’t do 15!)
