Awarded

Adie, and Jocelyn and Sassy awarded me. They are awesome! I have no idea what awards y'all have so...



This fun little award comes with a caveat or two.
  • First, you have to tell your readers ten things about you they may not know, but that are true.
  • Second, you have to tag 10 er 7 people with the award.
  • Third, let all the people you've given the award to know they've gotten it (comment on their blogs or something).
  • And, finally, make sure you link back to the person who awarded you, thanks Sassy!

Ten things you might not know...

1. While hiking the jungles of Panama I "obtained" a parasite. After a few painful weeks, losing upwards of 12 pounds a week I headed to the Dr. whereupon inspecting my belly she announced my pregnancy. After announcing my virginity, she took another look; I had a parasite, sick.

2. If I had to live on a deserted Island and could only take one thing, I'd take my tooth brush. I WANT to say my Bible, but that's not true. I've internalized The Book and feel that most of the wisdom can be recalled on demand, but a toothbrush... No amount of finger scrubbing is going to do it for these pearly whites.

3. My nickname in Russia was "Laura of Light."

4. I read quickly. Even with Gooner, and only reading before bed, I read about a minimum of a book a week.

5. During college in Colorado I would ski every Friday and Saturday, get home by 4:00 PM, and head to work.

6. I have free climbed just for the thrill of it.

7. While hiking a 14er in Colorado I got stuck in a blizzard and my pants froze to my flesh. 

8. I like A and W Root Beer a lot. 

9. I make REALLY good bread.

10.  I was published in a science journal for my research on proper water filtration.  

I give this award to...

I read really fast too...I have to remind myself to slow down when reading to Sophia.

Clarissa said...

Thank you! You're amazing.

Mo said...

You read a book a week?!? Unreal.

LeAnna said...

Thanks for the award, and no you can't take it back, you just have to wait until Monday! ;) Besides the whole fact that you're like awesome adventurous, and you once had pants freeze to your FLESH, I think the fact we both like A & W Root beer, a lot, means we're practically JUST ALIKE. I'm with you on the B-I-B-L-E, too, gotta have that Word hidden in your heart, cause you can't hide proper dental hygiene there...

MamaHen said...

I also read really fast (I have too, I have four kiddos) and I like Kettle Corn better also!

A parasite - holy crap!!!

And you're awesome - skiing, hiking, having your pants frozen to you, and being published. I'm jealous.

I too could eat Mexican every other day!!!!! YUM!

The Mommy said...

I love the parasite story! I was once told that I was probably pregnant. I think my doctor felt silly when I told her of my virginity. An ultrasound showed other problems and I found a new doctor.
Anyway...cute little things to learn about you.

Kelley said...

Awww thank you! So sweet!

And I love your Scrap facts. Holy moly - a PARASITE that was first diagnosed as a pregnancy? That must have been quite a shocker!

And I love that you'd take a toothbrush. Hilarious!
