This week was a good one for me in blogosphere. We got a snow day which allowed me to blog a little more!! Always a good thing.
And, two talented and stylish bloggers, Casey from Loft and Cottage and Maureen from Eclectic Revisited passed along the Stylish Blogger Award my way! Thank you, ladies!! It's great to be recognized!
So, without further adieu, here are 7 things about myself:
1. I live in the coldest and draftiest house in all of New England. Our house is old and I hate the cold.
2. During my single years, I lived in Manhattan for eight years working for an investment banking firm.
3. My husband and I got set-up through a mutual friend and our first date was a friend's wedding. He lived in CT and I lived in Philadelphia, PA. After our first date, he drove down every weekend to see me and we got married exactly 365 days after our first date.
4. I have an ungraduate degree in Accounting and two Master degrees in Organizational and Counseling Psychology.
6. I have had the opportunitiy to live in many places: PA, NJ, Riyadh (Saudi Arabia), TX (boarding school), Brussels (Belgium), Rottweil (Germany), FLA, NYC, and now CT.
7. I speak German fluently and taught German boys English at a boy's boarding school in Rottweil, Germany. My first day of teaching, I was standing in front of a room of teenaged German boys and I will admit, I was nervous. Thinking of ways to break the ice, I thought I would say "Don't worry, I'm cool". Well, little did I know that the formal word for 'cool' in German also has a second slang connotation. So, what I really said and what they heard was, "Don't worry, I'm horney!" I never lived that day down and it was an uphill battle from that day on.....:)
8. And, one more, I love to laugh.....I have a stupid/silly kind of sense of humor and l love movies like 'Airplane' and the cartoon 'Far Side' cracks me up!!
Now, I get to pass along the Stylish Blogger Award to some recently discovered blogs. I'm always amazed by the talent I find and I am sure you will love these blogs as much as I do:
