Doubly honored!

I meant to get online this weekend and thank my friend Christine for a blog award she gave me on Friday, but I didn't get a chance to get online. I'll be honest. I was being lazy this weekend, watching Rangers baseball and season one of The X-Files on DVD (David Duchovny looked so young!!)

Then I got on my blog this afternoon and saw that my friend Katie had also given me an award. WOW guys, thank you SO MUCH!! I feel so special that not only do you take time to read my blog, but that you feel I am worthy enough of an award. :)

The requirements after winning the award are to list seven things about myself and then pass the award on to some new blogs that I've discovered.

First I want to thank the friends who nominated me. Thank you again Christine! I discovered Christine's blog, Phoenix Revolution, when she was a guest blogger on my friend Laurie's blog. Her post about pink fuzzy handcuffs was hysterical! I followed the link to her blog and immediately became a new follower. :) And thank you so much Katie! I found Katie's blog, Words by Katie, though one of the "blog hop" sites (or maybe she found me, I don't remember who found who first). :) We discovered that have a lot in common. We both love to read and she is another girl that posts about sports on her blog!! I love it! And it seems we both have a love lust admiration for Adam Rodriguez! :)

I would recommend checking both of their blogs out. Just click on the name of their blog, that will link to their page!

Seven things you might not know about me. Wow, I feel  like I've shared all my secrets on here (probably not the smartest move, I can never run for a public office now!) ;) Let me see if I can think of any more (I apologize if any of these are repeats)...

1. When I was in high school, the band Butt Hole Surfers (yes, that was their name) filmed a music video at my school and I'm in it. I was in the band (more specially, the Color Guard- oh yes, I was a band nerd), and we were in their video for the song Underdog. It was part of the album Saturday Morning: Cartoons' Greatest Hits (I think the video aired on The Cartoon Network). Anyways, here is a copy of the video. The Color Guard is wearing white shirts. I can't tell you exactly where I'm at in it (it was filmed like 15 years ago), but I'm there somewhere!!

2. When I was 10 years old, I sang on stage with gospel singer Sandi Patty. Mind you, it wasn't because of my singing ability (because I don't have any). I was at a concert with my mom and sister, and Sandi announced that all kids 10 and under were welcomed to come up on stage and sing with her. I don't remember what we sang, but I know at one point she walked up to me and put her arm around me as we were singing. What I do remember is that this concert was about a month before my 11th birthday and I was so excited I was still 10 at the time.

3. I usually fall asleep with my TV on (it's set on a timer to go off after an hour). I like having the low "background" noise when I fall asleep. Maybe it's because I live by myself and if I didn't have that "noise", I would hear other noises and freak myself out.

4. I was 17 before I saw a major league baseball game in person. And I skipped school to see it. (I didn't grow up near a professional team). My senior year of high school the Braves were playing the Astros on a Tuesday night, and Steve Avery was pitching (insert teenage girl *sigh* here). I convinced my dad to let me skip school so I could go to Houston to see the game that was that night. I even had a sign that said "I skipped school to see Steve Avery".

5. I didn't learn to ride a bike until I was 11 years old. 

6. I sometimes watch Christmas movies in the middle of summer (sometimes you just need to hear Bing Crosby sing!) 

7. I can see about a minute of The Brady Bunch and tell you what episode it is (I know, that is just sad!) :)
