SUNSHINE AWARD
I forgot to mention that my friend Kelly awarded me a bloggity-blog award! The SUNSHINE award. 
Apparently that means that she likes me. It also means I’m supposed to award it to five other bloggers who I think are awesome. And it means that I have to tell you five things. I guess.
Five things.
1. I’m apparently really tiny, but I’ve got small guy syndrome — my bark is bigger than my bite.
2. I drink a LOT of tea. Mostly green tea with Jasmine, but sometimes Earl Grey.
3. I ran a half marathon last weekend in 1:48:08. Yeah. I rock. I beat my PR by 20 minutes. (I’ll probably actually blog about this later since it’s deserving of a full post).
4. I make things. A lot of things. Pretty much everything. In fact, last week we were downtown for streetpainting for work and our photographer asked if I knew how to airbrush, which I don’t. So, new trade to learn I guess.
5. I skipped kindergarten. Which makes me the youngest of my high school friends. But, I’m the 2nd oldest of my college friends (Kelly being the oldest) and I’m dating the youngest of my college friends. I apparently should be registered somewhere for that …
Five bloggers (who I know IRL!)
1. My crafty friend Adria, who I owe a lot of thanks for my fabric stash and my recent love of quilting and patchwork.
2. Kim, an artist, poet and musician, who I met during my one semester at Wartburg and has been a great friend and inspiration ever since. Sadly, she lives all the way in NYC!
3. Kelsey Cliche! A local artist and awesome person that I met briefly in college and have recently hooked up with for Swap-o-Rama-Rama (unfortunately I couldn’t go — I just ran that half-marathon and could barely walk!)v
4. MEG freaking ZANDI. aka the Zandbox. Just don’t call her that to her face. For serious. This girl is amazing. I met her through one of Mark’s best friends. She’s currently Amtrakkin’ across the US. Check out her blog … it’s all about the trip.
5. Cara Hall — local artist and craftster. I sat next to her at a Craft Saturday once and we knit pretty things. Check out her blog — she talks about the things she makes and bakes.
