Flattered!

Quite recently I was nominated for the Versatile Blogger Award, by Giovanna from Blue Jelly Beans and I’m super pumped!

I love this fun little games that go around the blogging world. Anyways I’m sorry if I’m lacking in interesting stuff about myself, I have been on this world for less than 18 years and all..

So here is how the Versatile Blogger Award works, you just have to share 7 little-known things about yourself and nominate 15 other bloggers. Hold up. 15?!? Who do they think I am?? Oh boy well, that will certainly be a challenge. Anyways, I’m honored to be nominated by such an amazing blogger.

Giovanna is actually a really interesting blogger, you should check out her about page!

Alright here we go…7 things:

  1. I am extremely scared of needles: I actually have to lay down when I get shots or blood tests. Thinking about it even makes me woozy. I’ve thought at times a tattoo could be cool, but the needles would just kill me. I would totally wimp out. There is one specific time I remember when I was little where I was getting shots for school (I believe this was around the time of kindergarten/1st grade) and I was screaming and jerking my arms everywhere like a little tornado. I have been told I was audible from outside and down the hall. Shots are over-rated in my opinion, I mean what did they do in Jesus times???
  2. I love to sew: Despite my monstrous fear of needles, I have loved to sew since my 7th grade home economics class. My mom let me get my own sewing machine after that class and I have made several items. I don’t think I’ll be making anything extravagant like my wedding dress or anything, but I find it relaxing and rewarding. It’s kinda similar to cooking where there is a little work but then when you finish the final project, you just feel so proud and excited!
  3. I’m addicted to Cran-Grape Juice: This is not a joke. I seriously may have a problem…I drank 6 bottles all by myself in the past week. I’m drunk on antioxidants!!!
  4. That vast majority of my heritage is [supposedly] Native American: According to my Grandpa Bill (my dad’s dad) his grandma (so my great-great grandma) was 100% Native American. Also, according to my gram (my mom’s mom) her grandma was 100% Native American as well. Hmm…I do wear moccasins a lot! Haven’t quite committed to the whole tee-pee thing though.
  5. I check my room every night before I go to bed for scary stalkers/bugs: This is embarrassing. But it’s something unique, right? Hopefully you don’t think I’m some kind of paranoid psycho. I really do act like a “normal” person, in real life. But I do happen to check under my dresser, bed, and in my  closet for the scary stalker people. (I have yet to come across one, phew!) I also check under my sheets and under my pillow for bugs. Now I promise you this, I have a LEGIT reason. I was scarred a few times in my younger years. I have two three specific memories engraved in my head of bug experiences.   ONE: I remember once waking up with a lady bug right in front of my nose. (good morning?) TWO:  Right before bed one night as I was getting all comfy I found a little spidery friend at the foot of my bed, under the sheets. THREE: My bedroom is beneath one of the attics in our house. For a while there was a dark spot developing on the ceiling right above my bed. I didn’t tell my parents about it for a while because I figured it would somehow magically disappear. Well, it continued to grow…Finally I told my parents. We later discovered that there was a ginormous bee’s nest rapidly growing in our attic and we had to hire an exterminator to get rid of those guys. Keep in mind, my mom is deathly allergic to bees. Fortunately, I’ve never been stung, but I have no idea if I’m allergic. I’d prefer not to find out!!!
  6. I once wanted to be a show choir girl: Back in middle school, before the “Glee” days, show choir was the thing to be in. Like if you made it in, your cool meter just went WAY up. I, wanting to get a jump start, decided to try out in 6th grade. Being the natural athlete I was, I had never really gotten cut from any team, I had always been on the top team as a pretty good player. My winning streak stopped in 6th grade at that show choir audition. I did ah-mazing on the dance routine. I freaking owned it!!! I’m pretty sure I still remember most of the dance to this day. I still remember the song, “Life is a Highway“. Anyways, the singing audition was the next day. I chose good ‘ol “Amazing Grace”. I busted that out and I felt like I was just on top of the world! Turns out I’m a pretty crappy singer. Trust me though, it sounds amazing in my head. Like I could make millions off that voice in my head. Anyhow, I didn’t make show choir. That’s it.
  7. My favorite animal is a puffin: has been since I found out what one is. who couldn’t love this little guy?!?

I don’t like bugs

Why does it seem that all the bugs that ever end up in my house always gravitate towards my room?! They are out to get me, I tell you.

Here’s an example, a couple years ago there was this strange spot forming in one corner of the ceiling in my room. I thought it was strange, but I did not say anything for a while. I don’t know why, maybe because I thought I’d get into trouble for it. It’s not like I decided to put a spot up there, just teenage instinct, I guess.

Anyways, time went on and either I finally decided to tell my parents or they noticed it themselves. I don’t remember which, but somehow they found it. Long story short, turns out there was a bee hive in the attic that is above my room. And it was getting large by the day with the spot. Needless to say, I was freaked out, but relieved the problem was resolved.

To display my distaste for bugs, I created an illustration to make a clear demonstration of my feelings.One of the worst things to happen when you do find a bug is to discover that it flies. That is just UNFAIR.

Although I do not entirely embrace bugs’ existence, I am always very hesitant to kill them. My biggest fear? That their families and friends will come back to get me. Like this.I swear, it makes sense. When you really think about it. I mean, if bugs have like feelings..you know. It’s possible.

On to spiders. Yes, they are a whole new category. They’re icky. They’re creepy. They’re scary. And not cute. 

Not only are they all the above^, they are also incredibly SNEAKY! Have you heard that like people swallow spiders in their sleep!!?! YUCCKKKK.

It makes me never want to sleep again.

Once again, I’m always scared to kill them because of this…

Well, now that I have given you those lovely images, I think it’s time for some real food.

I made this salad, it’s tasty. Clearly…I mean it lasted less than 24 hours. You should make it. K bye.

Corn, Black Bean, and Salmon Salad

heaping 1/4 c. Corn

heaping 1/4 c. Black Beans, washed and drained

1/4 c. tomatoes, chopped

3 c . lettuce, chopped

1 1/2 T. salsa, (I used the Salsa Lisa mild avocado salsa, YUM)

4-6 oz. Salmon, seasoned and cooked**

  1. Make sure all ingredients, except salmon, are chopped and sliced to your liking and dump all into bowl. Mix ingredients together. Top with salmon, cut into strips. Tasty warm or the second day from the fridge for lunch!

** The salmon tastes best if you season it very well. I recommend just using a bunch of spices. Whatever you’ve got. We just used Montreal Steak Seasoning. But we also like to use Interstate Barbecue Seasoning. Once again though, any seasoning will be great!
