Speaking of rewarding, I received a little blog love from my dear running buddy, Kerrie, when she passed me the following blog award:
To accept this award, I must reveal 7 facts about myself and then pass it along to 7 bloggers. It's like an award baton! Alrighty then:
- I was the only person in the world with my name. Then I got married and my last name changed. Now, it's not so unique. Bummer...
- I have five amazing siblings that I would do anything for. I love them to pieces.
- I love sci-fi books and movies, but I'm seriously not a fan of aliens (the ones that are green, with almond-shaped eyes and oval heads...hate them...they ruin things for me).
- There are two extra bones in my right foot, and one in my left.
- My most embarrassing moment involved: senior year in HS, a rubber duck squirt toy, the entire swim team watching, me demonstrating a dive, my butt being squirted with said toy duck, me belly flopping hardcore. Caused: Extreme blushing, shame, hiding underwater in the deep end, and plans for redemption (or revenge?).
- I read magazines backwards, starting at the back and working my way to the front.
- My "stripper" name (the name of your first pet + your mom's maiden name) is Rainbow Fish. No joke. And my first pet was a fish. *sigh*

ReplyDeleteI read magazines from back to front also. Can't help it.
Awesome that the extra bones in your foot haven't affected your running!! Great list :)
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm honored and flattered to have received the "blogger baton"! I'll have to think about the 7 things I have to reveal. Hmmmm..... Now, answer me this; how in the world do you run so fast with those extra bones in your feet???

ReplyDeleteAwesome list... I love random facts. It's a fun way to get to know somebody.
ReplyDeleteDid you ever get revenge for the duck squirt incident??
Stripped name = Tok Southam (hmph).
ReplyDeleteGah, you're reminding me that I need to run hills! But, since I slept in this AM, I'm going to have to do a speed workout on the treadmill to get me home in time for dinner--boo!
You are a hoot! I love your list. A lot.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Thanks for the award! I'm thrilled ;-)
If it makes you feel better, I don't remember you belly-flopping or any of that story and I was on swim team with you...so it must be more personal embarrassment than public embarrassment. :)
ReplyDeleteLoved the list. Loving reading your blog -- very inspiring.
