I won! I won! I won!

I won!

I never win anything. But maybe my luck is about to change! GreekyPie is a talented photographer and blogger and had a giveaway in which I was the lucky recipient of one of her beautiful photo prints.

I am so excited to pick out a print from her. I love the hydrangea, but the beach scenes speak to me since I am a Pisces and have so many wonderful memories growing up near Cape May, NJ.

If you get a second, check out her great blog and etsy shop!

7 RANDOM THINGS

My sweet blog muffin, Abby of Life with B & A, has tagged me for 7 Random Things. I'm hoping I can always come up with interesting things so let me think. I always bend the rules here and give whatever number of facts I have on hand. If it were 7 all the time, I'd run out of semi-interesting facts. Not to say I have interesting facts anyway. I'm pretty dull.
Hmmm. Ok, here goes something.

1. I am the youngest daughter of Jim and Louise. My parents have taught me how to be thoughtful, courteous and responsible in life. I am so proud to have been born to this loving couple. This year they celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary and I would just like to congratulate them for sharing their love and wisdom with me and to thank them for not giving up on having the perfect child after my two older sisters, Angela and Carolyn. It took them 3 times before they got it right! (wiping tissue from eye)

2. This is my 3rd year of marriage and I am enjoying this year so much more than the past 2 years. Maybe it's because I can communicate better and appreciate my husband much better for who he is rather than what he does or doesn't do. He's a man. What else is there to say on that?

3. I have a desire to star on Saturday Night Live. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are my heroes. Nice girls doing fun comedy and still not compromising their femininity to get a laugh. Props!

4. I love watching FitTV's "Shimmy". I practice my belly-dancing moves whenever I can. It's a lot harder than it looks.

5. I hate, loathe and despise BULLIES. I think if you are that insecure with your life and you are over the age of 17, you need to get therapy. I cannot stand when someone says they are just "snarky" or "sarcastic". No you are a bully. Call it by it's real name. A bully does not have to steal your lunch or kick a kitten to prove they are a bully. They can be as sly as a fox with their rude and nasty comments, or as obvious as an obnoxious loud mouth. Bullies have a choice. They make bad choices, they deal with bad consequences. If I see someone who is being bullied, I try to defend them. I once was bullied. I also was a bully. Both sides suck. Bully is bullcrap. No bullies. Watch out, bullies...I'm on to you! You know who you are!

That's it for now!

RANDOM TAG! ~ 6 Random Things

The ever-lovely and talented * f i o r e t t a * has tagged me for 6 RANDOM THINGS and it's my first spin on the Random Blog dance Floor. Let's see.

1. I am a Pisces yet I do not know how to swim. Never learned. In fact, I have a deep respected fear of the water - anything more than 3 feet and I stand by and watch with awe. Which is very strange for a born fish. Even odder, I cannot be more than 2 hours from the ocean or I will start to flounder on the land.

2. I live for History. I am attracted so much to anything historic and it's a bit creepy. I must always be surrounded by something historic. Thankfully, living in Bucks County, PA I can go only a few miles and explore historical sites. It's not just American History. World History. From ancient civilizations right up to the cold war....I think I am a recycled soul.

3. I've lived off and on for 12 years in the historic beach resort town of Cape May, NJ and consider it my home away from home - dream place to live. History meets Ocean meets Culture meets Scenery. Someday....I am going to own a home there. You are all invited!

4. I am not college educated. No Suprise! As you can tell by my horrid grammar and lack of worldly experience, I was recruited to work in the rat race right out of high school from a merited business program. From there on, I began my stint as a high profile corporate law firm legal administrative assistant. Since then, I have held many jobs and worked in many industries. People are generally the same wherever you go. Which is why the television show THE OFFICE is so damn accurate!

5. I won't eat seafood. Which probably connects back to #1 somehow. The thought of putting a sea creature in my mouth skeeves me. Weirdness, I know.

6. I love to mambo, samba and salsa dance with the best of them.
Let's' dance!

Ok so now it's your turn! You are getting tagged, my blog friends!
