Trina @Me So Hongry! was kind enough to give me the Fabulous Sugar Doll Award!  Thank you so much!  Trina has a fabulous sense of humour and has come so far in her weight loss journey.  Check her out!

The rules are:

•Thank the recipient

•Link back to the giver

•Reveal 10 things about me

 

Here we go:

1. 
   
   I have a secret calling as a make-up artist, although I do not wear make up all the time, when I do, BAM!  I look like a million bucks (I wish I had a million bucks, instead of looking like it ) 
2. 
   
   I went to see Usher back in '97 and I caught his water bottle at the concert! (Remember My Way? Nice and Slow? ) I still have it....
3. 
   
   I was in Thailand during the 2006 tsunami, a party on the other side of the country saved my life
4. 
   
   I love reading books for teens (I love books for adults too),but something about books like Twilight and the Uglies series draw me in
5. 
   
   I have an obsession with underwear, I have over 100 pairs some still have the tags on theme, the catch is I will not spend more than 5$ on a pair.
6. 
   
   I love lifting weights, I secretly wish that I could go into power lifting
7. 
   
   I will try anything once, I have eaten; goat, snake, whale, octopus and even silk worms
8. 
   
   I love the beach, whenever I travel, the location almost always has a beach, the clear water, the sand.  I don't even care if I have to wear a bathing suit
9. 
   
   I watched  a guy beat up his girlfriend at the mall when I was 16 and I vowed that if I ever saw that again in my life I would intervene, fast forward to 2006 Japan,when I saw a man was assaulting a girl in the club, I stepped in and a fight ensued, we were on the floor rolling around, I was throwing punches.  To make a long story short, he got kicked carried out of the club.
10. 
    
    I would love to be on Amazing Race or Survivor, travel + challenges?  What could be better?

Woot! Woot!

Another award! I got this the other day from Amberly. Thank you so much! I am suppose to tell you seven things about myself.

1. I lived in Japan for two years teaching English and I travelled extensively (at least I think it is extensively). I have been to Thailand, Bali, Singapore, Malaysia and South Korea
. This was the best experience of my life. I made alot of friends and even got to be on Japanese TV a few times.

2. I am outgoing and will try anything once. I have eaten some crazy things, snake, whale are the ones that come to mind. This is why I would LOVE to be on The Amazing Race.

3. I went to an all girl Catholic high school and I really liked it. Most of my current friends are from my high school days. I was a bit of a prankster in high school, I loved playing harmless jokes on my friends.

4. I was a cheerleader for a year.

5. I was in Thailand during the tsunami, but left a severely damaged area the morning of the tsunami to go to a party on the other side of the country that was not affected. A party saved my life.

6. I am not on Facebook! I really think that I am the only one. My mother is even there! People are always shocked because it is not in my nature.

7. I have auditioned to be a plus size model but didn't make the cut....Maybe one day....No maybe not because after I loss all this weight I won't be plus size!
