award season continues in blogland...

i've gotten two awards lately, so here goes!

thank you to daniela at dk everyday  for this one!

and the survey that goes along with it...

what inspires you?
hmmm, i guess i would say any young, successful person who is doing what they want to do in life. gives me hope that i can do it too.

what is your favorite season and why?
i've come to the conclusion this year i really do like winter and the snow. but i also like fall and spring. i like the things that come along with warm weather, like walking the city easier, sitting on a patio, camping and going to the beach.


what are you most looking forward to this year?
graduating!! and finding a job...but i guess in a way i'm not looking forward to it all. it's scary.


if you could write a book about anything, what would it be about?
oh gosh, i honestly don't know. a compilation of my favorite recipes?


what is your greatest passion?
 i would say i love taking photos,  but i'm not very good at it. but i guess just because i'm not good at it (yet) doesn't mean it can't be a passion. i wish i could say yoga, because i really do want to get into it. and i also wish i could say my job, because i hope i get one i'll be passionate about and love, but i guess that's soon to be determined...

if you could change one thing about your life or yourself, what would it be and why?
i would  have been born in NYC :P lol but really? umm i would probably want to be not so shy. sometimes it sucks. i get nervous when i shouldn't and it takes me a while to open up.


lastly, what is your favorite novel?
well, i can't think of one off hand. i read mostly true crime, and it just doesn't seem right to pick one of those as a 'favorite' haha but i do love dead janitors club by jeff klima. it's pretty hilarious, about a guy who cleans up crime scenes. but, there is another book- sophies world by jostein gaarder - which is a philosophical book. i read it a few years ago and got 3/4 of the way through, and i plan on starting from the beginning when i read it again (hopefully soon) but i really enjoyed it.


and jennifer at a day in the life of a mom gave me this one...so thank you!

the rules are: link back to the person who gave you the award to let them know you accept; share 7 things about yourself; and pass the award on to 15 newly discovered bloggers and let them know about the award.

so, here's 7 things...
1) if i'm at home, you can almost gaurantee i'm wearing my housecoat. usually along with shorts/sweat pants and a tank top. seriously, i love it.
2) i am the opposite of an insomniac; i am asleep within 30 seconds of my head hitting the pillow 98% of the time.
3) pretty much the only way i can eat pie is warmed up with vanilla ice cream.
4) my room at my parents house, which i started redecorating in august, is still incomplete.
5) i didn't cry at the notebook. and i really didn't even like it. maybe that was the high school me.
6) i hate talking on the phone.
7) i very, very rarely shop anymore...props for me!

and for both of these awards, i'm going to cheat. if you read this blog, and want to take one, or both, you can go ahead and say it's from me!
