Awards time!

Hey everyone!

So, I keep forgetting to mention the various blog awards that have been given to me over the past few months! It made me so excited that different people wanted to give me an award. So, here I am passing the love along. So I don't know who has been nominated or not but I'm just going to nominate blogs that I love! I tried not to choose the same blog twice so that meant that I had to come up with 39 blogs. (I've been working on this blog for over a month now! I kept getting new awards and had to keep adding them to this blog post. Finally, it is ready for me to put it up.)


Yan from Books By Their Covers and Lanna from Warped [to the] Max! both gave me the Sisterhood Award.

Rules:
Write 5 things you’re addicted to and then nominate 5 other blogs to pass this award on to!

My Five Addictions:

Orange Juice- You know how some people need coffee every morning to function? I'm like that with OJ. I'll be completely groggy until I have my tall glass of orange juice. It used to be really bad a few years ago. I would go through a gallon of juice in 2 and half days, I had an addiction! Now I only have a glass or two a day. My grandmother lives about five min away from me and her neighborhood used to be orchards of orange trees. She has 3 or 4 trees in her yard that are like 30-40 feet tall and the trees are OLD. Plus she has other orange trees that are a different type that they planted 40 something years ago. Almost year round, half of the trees are producing ripe fruit. My dad goes over all the time to grab a couple of bags of fruit and then we'll have fresh OJ for a week or two! I love Orange Juice. It's the best.


Books- I'm sure you aren't surprised that I am addicted to books! I have a book blog and I am part of Five Awesome YA Fans. I started reading at age 2 and was reading chapter books by the time I was in first grade. When I was a kid, I never was grounded by taking away TV or computer time, I was grounded by taking away the book I was reading. My parents never really put a limit on how much TV I was allowed to watch because I was always more interested in reading books. My eyesight deteriorated faster than it should have because I had the habit of reading with a dodgy booklight at night, under my covers. I ended up getting glasses when I was 10, they said that I wouldn't have had to get them until I was 14 or so but I put unnecessary strain on my eyes. My trip to NYC was a great thing for me and an awful thing because I ended up with 99 books to bring home (about 150 books between Adam and myself). I can't wait to read all of the books but I have no where to put them!


Traveling- I love to travel! I was getting really antsy during the end of the semester because I was tired of my home town. I mean, I love it here but sometimes I just need to get away for a week or a month. Almost every year I go on a trip, usually to Europe but sometimes just somewhere in the US. I was having a half argument with Adam because I was feeling bad about something stupid and he asked me (more like yelled) what I wanted to do... I responded with that I wanted to go to LeakyCon and NYC to go to BEA and meet all of my blogger friends. Then he asked why I don't just do it... A week later I was in New York City meeting all of my blogger friends! I decided to scrap the idea of going to LeakyCon in hopes of attending it in 2011. Anyways, I love to travel. I've been to a bunch of the states, Canada, Mexico, and Europe (Italy, France, Ireland, England, & Greece). I want to go everywhere!


Wedding stuff- I love wedding stuff. There was a point in mylife where I toyed with the idea of becoming a wedding planner one day. Then I decided that it would take the fun out of being addicted to wedding stuff. I love watching all of the shows on TV about weddings, I love going to them, I've been in nearly a dozen weddings, and I love looking at different things that involve weddings. I loved the Queen of Babble series by Meg Cabot because the main character tries to design her own wedding dresses.


Harry Potter- I LOVE HARRY POTTER. You already know that I plan to go to LeakyCon '11, and I wanted to go to it this year. I dressed up as Ginny (dyed my hair red and everything) so many times and I love it. I've been addicted since I was 14 (I think... maybe 15). Watch this video to see the Harry Potter stuff I own and pictures!
