Stylish Blogger Award!

I would like to give a huge shout out to http://umseti.blogspot.com

for this award.  I am new to the blog world and this made me feel special on a day that I needed something to cheer me up.  Thank you!

This award comes with some rules and I will try my best to adhere to them: 

Rule 1:  I am to acknowledge the blogger who gave me this award, and duly thank them, and list/link their blog and URL.  Done and done.
 

Rule 2:  I am to list seven things you may not know about me. This could be difficult, although really what do you know about me? Not much, as I just started blogging over the past weekend!

                          Seven Things You May Not Know About Me   


1.  I wanted to be a psychologist since I was eight years old, (thanks to the Bob Newhart show), but then I found out that you had to spend at least eight years in school and well, I am lazy, what can I say?  But I do have excellent listening skills and people do talk to me about their problems; I'm just not getting paid, feel free to call me Dr. Salmon ;-)


2.  I love movies!  I could watch movies all day every day for the rest of my life.  I love old Hepburn, Grant, Tracy movies very much.  I am also a sucker for the cheesy goodness of ate e's movies. Anything by John Hughes I can watch over and over again.  Why can't I get paid to watch movies?


3.  I have lost too many friends as a result of alcohol and drugs.  It is devastating to think about.  I used to drink more and do drugs every time I found out I lost another friend.  Three years ago, I lost two friends within two weeks of each other and I drank an ungodly amount of whiskey in those two weeks and did some other terrible things and I decided I had enough and quit all of it on August 30, 2008. 


4.  I love my friends like they are my family.  Friends are the family that you choose, and I have some really awesome ones.

5.  I have been running a restaurant/bar with my husband for the past eight years. It was a lot of fun in the beginning and don't get me wrong, it still has it's moments, but, the stress is outweighing the fun by a billion pounds right now. You will find out more about the past eight years as I keep reading and you keep writing... you should reverse that statement and it will make more sense!

6.  If it weren't for my sense of humor I would be in the "grin bin" or worse, by now.


7.  I am really quite shy.  Social situations give me anxiety (hence why I used to drink tons) and I go through horrible bouts of depression.

The third rule of accepting this stylish award is to share it with other bloggers who are starting out.  Fifteen, to be exact. I don't know if I know fifteen, I will try:

Ummm,  I'm so new to this that I am having a hard time finding new bloggers to share this with!! Any suggestions would be awesome! I will edit this blog when figure it out and share this award!!

Splendid then...
