I think that sometimes memes can be beautiful things. I’m a big fan of memes that show us bits of bloggers we don’t normally get to see and thankfully this one does exactly that.
I’ve been tagged in the Beautiful Blogger Award by Pippa of A Mothers Ramblings {Thanks!} who spelled out the rules – By accepting this award, there are 3 rules that must be followed:
Thank the person who gave it to you and link back to their blog.
Tell seven facts about yourself.
Nominate seven people for the award and let them know why.
Seven Fact About Me
- I haven’t competed in a running race since I was about 12, but come October 14th I’m running the Oxford Half-marathon for Blurt!
- My favourite colour is orange.
- I’ve actually lived in the UK long enough to apply for citizenship. I just haven’t gotten around to it yet.
- I used to be a lifeguard at a summer camp in Maryland.
- I always end up packing at the last-minute, even when I’ve made lists weeks ahead of time. I always try to change this and never succeed, but I still dare to hope.
- I never learned how to play the recorder.
- I recently was checking the weather forecasts for Oregon and California and had to convert the temperatures to Celsius because that’s what I now think in. Which is odd as my British Hubby doesn’t even think in Celsius.

Congrats on signing on for the upcoming race! I started running this year as a way to pare down; I’m having a fun time running 5K races in and around New Jersey. I love the color orange!
