I would like to thank the [blog] academy....

Hi friends!

I know this has been going around the blogworld for a while now, but I'm just now joining the party!The lovely and amazing Jess tagged me and I feel so honored to have recieved the (drumroll please)

Thanks Jess! If you guys haven't checked out her blog, do it now!

As a winner of this award, recipients need to:
1. Write a post and link back to the person who awarded you this award.
2. Share 7 random things about yourself.
3. Award 10 recently discovered great bloggers.
4. Contact these bloggers and tell them they’ve won!

Thus, here we go now!
1. I use the following phrases at least once a day: okie-dokie (artichokie); whoopsie!; oopsie-poopsie; easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy; and...wait for it...OMG. Yes, i do.
Do you want to know the really sad/pathetic/funny part? I learned most of these from 5 year olds, but I use them in conversations with friends, classmates, PROFESSORS. Yup.
2. Almost everything I own is pink. One might walk in my room and think it belongs to a six year old girl, but I am a full 22 (ugh!) years old.

3. The only reason I started running was to receive a Tiffany's necklace at the end of the Nike Women's Marathon. I'm a) shallow but b) now hooked and seriously cannot function without running.

4. I am obsessed with coffee. And everything cute that comes along with it. I've been coveting this for several weeks now:
[source]. I worked at Starbucks for 2 years and almost every day was simply glorious because I was surrounded by coffee.
5. I'm ridiculously cheap. I peruse the weekly ads from each grocery store, hunting for the best deals. I will drive 20 minutes to the ghetto to get cheap groceries. I also am willing to skip showering after the gym to take a bus to the other end of the city to stand in line for a chance of free veggies.
6. I love wine.

7. I have an intense fear about being late. My mom is always late and would make us late to school growing up, so I resolved at an early age to always be on-time. To ensure that I'm never late, I plan out every single hour of each day. It's the only way I sleep at night. :)
