When I was 7, I was on a really crappy t-ball team coached by my mom. Mom would yell “TouchDown!” when we crossed home plate. At the end of the year, we got an awesome pizza party and a trophy.  It’s still the only physical trophy I ever got.

My next trophy came at the age of 19, when I won the local Hawaiian Tropics contest that was held in a casino. It was immediately taken from me when they found out my tan was a spray tan. As in they read my paperwork. Spray tans were in their infancy ten years ago. And they weren’t as freakishly orange either. Still safer than a tanning bed though.

When I was 22 I did a beer chugging contest, at a bar, on Halloween. I won free beer and the phone number of this dude who became my hubby. Best. Trophy. Ever.

Now that I’m 29, Trophy Gods feel it’s time to bless me again. And when I say Trophy Gods, I really mean Jill the Trophy Goddess and writer of my new favorite blog Yeah. Good Times.  We both get called Snarky Bitch all the time,  but I assure you there are many more reasons why I love her, like:

• Laundry piles verbally abuse her as well.
• Sometimes accidents do happen, unintentional, with a frying pan.
• She had my dream wedding; In the back of a limo at a drive thru chapel in Vegas
• We have the same issues about raccoons.
• We are stay at home moms that decided working from home could be a good idea. Her clients offer her tequila. Mine offer me new ways to ask WTF?

This is my first and only blog award. Ever.

Honestly, I thought someone hacked Jill’s twitter account (@jillsmo) to give me an award. I was pretty certain I was going to get roped into a Nigerian Ponzi Scheme, but in fact it really is an award. Given to ME.

I’m not sure what the ‘Versatile Blogger Award’ means, and I don’t really care, so don’t ask. I know it’s an award that can’t be taken away from me like the evil Hawaiian Tropic people did.  It could mean that I was smart enough to know possible warning signs of a Nigerian Ponzi Scheme or just that I’m insanely awesome. With emphasis on the insane part.

Now, onto the important part.

7 Things About Me

1. I have a deep phobia of pink milk. Like Strawberry Milk,. I also mildly freak out about Banana flavored milk. It really does wonders on my psyche.
2. I’m not a picky eater, I’m a very particular eater. Especially at restaurants. If the menu says the shrimp is seared, and it comes out sauteed, I will pitch a fit. If the menu says Risotto and its not made with arborio rice, it will get sent back. And god forbid I order cheddar on my burger and I get American cheese. People don’t eat at restaurants with me for this reason.
3. I have a serious problem dropping $14 on a roast for dinner, but no qualms about a $14 martini. Mmm… Martini.
4. I firmly believe that most of the worlds problems could be handled by a swift junkpunch. And yes, a junkpunch is exactly as it sounds.
5. Vegas is my favorite city in the world to visit. I also haven’t been off this continent, so take that at face value.
6. I collect Starbucks location mugs. If you are incredibly awesome and want to send me one from your awesome locale, please contact me and I will gladly send you my address and pray you’re not a crazed stalker. I also believe Starbucks is one of the happiest places ever.
7. I had spinal surgery when I was 12. I have two titanium rods that align my spine. Which is awesome with all the new airport security measures.
