It's my lucky day!

There are two reasons for this:

First, I received an award from Tiff at Organized Chaos!



The award says: "This blog invests and believes in 'proximity' (meaning, that blogging makes us 'close'-being close through proxy)." I must now bestow this glorious award on eight bloggy friends.


I think most of the people I read already have this, so I'm not going to do 8.

Bama Belle at Bama Belle in the Big City

Tova Darling from the Secret Life of Tova Darling

Mama at Daily Nonsense

The second reason it's my lucky day is based on this article regarding: FREE DR. PEPPER! Until today I didn't realize I like Guns N' Roses! Yay for them getting their act together and finishing this album! Is it bad that I'm benefiting based on something I didn't even know was happening, hmm?

Interviews, Football, and Awards, Oh My!!

I'm going to go in reverse order from the title so that we start with the more fun of the three! One of my new favorite finds, 'Bama Belle in the City, gave me this award - if you haven't been there, you're missing out! Anyway, I'm really flattered! Ready for the rules? Here goes!

1. You have to tag 5 people.

2. 4 of the 5 have to be dedicated followers to your blog.

3. One has to be someone new or recently new to your blog and must live in another part of the world.

4. You must link back to whomever gave you the award

So I tag:

Chitown Meg from The Randomness of Meghan

Classy from Dancing Backward in High Heels

Holly from In My Over Active Head

Tova Darling from the Secret Life of Tova Darling

Tiff from Organized Chaos

All of those blogs are wonderful and I enjoy reading them, so go check them out!

Second and I'm not going to go on about it because I'll be spending next weekend actually AT the game and there will be extensive posting about that, but Alabama won and is going to the SEC Championship! 'Nuff said and moving on...

Finally, I had an interview on Friday for a summer internship and I think it went really well. I'm kind of nervous because while I think I would learn more there than anywhere else, I also feel like I would be in over my head for most, if not all of the summer, but I'll wait and see if I get an offer before I worry about it.

Hope everyone has a wonderful start to the week!!!

I'd like to thank...

Classy for passing along this award to me!


Pass it on to five other bloggers, and tell them to open the nearest book to page 56. Write out the fifth sentence on that page, and also the next two to five sentences...The CLOSEST BOOK, NOT YOUR FAVORITE, OR MOST INTELLECTUAL!

Now, if you read my previous entry, you know that I cheated. I didn't use the book closest to me because it was lame - I mean, I don't want to know about criminal procedure and I'm sure you don't either :0)

My warning with this paragraph is that I since I haven't started reading this book yet, I have no idea what he's talking about, but I can't wait to read it to find out!

My mind pictures him coming up quick and throwing his fist against the back of my head. I feel my heart speed up and adrenaline pumps through my arms. Still, I keep pace and don't turn. The van sits miles across the parking lot. It seems like it was half as close when I walked in. It feels like the thing is getting farther away, for heaven's sake.

Now to pass it on! I pass this award to:

Patrice from Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman

Agent Elle from The Devil Wears Epix

Mama from Daily Nonsense

Tiff from Organized Chaos

*I know that's only 4, but I think most people already have this*
