Honest Scrap! I've been tagged!

The oh so kewl Katie over at Tripping Down the Aisle tagged me for the Honest Scrap award. Thank you Katie! *Hugs*

Here are the rules of the award:
1) Choose a minimum of 7 blogs that you find brilliant in content or design
2) Show the 7 winners names and links on your blog, and leave a comment informing them that they were prized with "Honest Scrap." Well, there's no prize, but they can keep the nifty icon
3) List at least 10 honest things about yourself

So here's 10 random things about myself:

1. I have five tattoos {none of which anyone can noticebly see}.

The secret places are my lower back, stomach, upper left shoulder, and my eyebrows.

2. I never make my bed in the morning, but I always HAVE to make it at night just to get in it. I hate sleeping with crooked sheets.

3. If I could have any other career other than event planning, I would be a dolphin trainer. I even researched the criteria, but was not willing to start another degree.

4. I love to dance and have a habit of learning all the newest dances that come out. I thought I would grow out of it but...no! In fact I'm currently trying to learn the "single ladies" choreography. I will dance anytime, anywhere!

5. I've been working since I was 15 {some of my teen jobs were Pet Land, grocery store, Claire's Accessories, and the Gap}

6. I'm deathly afraid of pigeons. NY pigeons are the worst!

7. My mom couldn't hold me until I was 3 days old because I swallowed fluid when I was born and had to be put in an incubator.

8. I coached my mother during the birth of my twin bother and sister. It was so beautiful!

9. I try to wear something gold everyday {even if it's just a bag or scarf}

10. I tend to be very territorial because I was the only child until I was 16 years old, but I'm learning how to let go...lol.


Now I'm supposed to tag seven people, but I want to open it up to anyone who wants to participate!

New Blogger Award

I was so ecstatic when I logged on today and saw that The Relentless Bride nominated me for this award. It really feels good to know that my blog is appreciated because I truly do try hard to keep you all entertained as I work out the madness surrounding my big fat Greek African American/Trinidadian wedding!

I'm supposed to nominate 10 other blogs, but she mentioned some really good ones on her page already! And I have to admit, in the past two months that I've been blogging, I've done more focusing on my material than searching other blogs.

That led me to think, if you're out there reading and you like what you see, pretty please drop me a line and introduce yourself. I would love to check out other people's fabulous blogs and make some blog buddies!
