The Versatile Blog Award

I've bene nominated for this award along with many other fantastic bloggers:

Rules:
1) I must pass on the Versatile Blogger award to five other very deserving versatile bloggers.
2) You must tell 7 random things about yourself that your readers don't know about you.

I'd like to thank Auntie Eboo at My Life Journey for this!

7 Random Facts:

1)  I was a member of a skipping team during Primary School that had us touring other schools in Southern Ontario and attending competitions and demonstrations throughout North America.  I have a Provincial Title from back then as well.

2)  I was a member of a Girls Softball team, for nearly 15 years, that found similar successes.  After which I went on to coach a Softball team that received very similar accolades and played in tournaments in Ontario and the US.  I grew up on the baseball diamond, and played until I was 25.

3)  I was a kid that rebelled by putting myself into everything I could so I didn't have to be at home.  I was a member - at the same time - of senior band, vocal jazz group, one-act-plays drama troupe, Peers Associates Lending Support, The Spirit Club, a tutor, as well as a member of the basketball team, softball team and curling teams for my school.  I am the only person that graduated in my year to receive the Academic Award, Citizenship Award and Sports Letters.  The only award I didn't win was the Leadership Award because I didn't take the Leadership Gym Class.  I have 3 MVP awards from high school as well.  As well as doing all of these things in school, I coached that team in Number 2, played on my own team, and worked two jobs outside of school. 

4)  I didn't start eating tomatoes until I was 28 - I didn't like the taste or the texture of a ripe tomato.  Now I only eat them before they ripen (the pink one you see in the grocery store or the ones I eat), because they are more watery and less acidic.   I've always had spaghetti sauce, chili and ketchup though.

5)  I can't sleep with people touching me, or with any light in the room.  I'm working on the light portion of this, but I still can't sleep at all with someone else touching me.  I will only sleep for an hour in the arms of my beau, then, inevitably, I wake up, and move away so I can get back to sleep for hte night.

6)  I do not drink coffee, or eat/drink anything that tastes like coffee.  I also do not drink pop (soda for you American folk).  I barely drink juice.  I drink water.  Water.  More Water.  And no I don't need a coffee to jump start me, keep me going or to make the day go better.  Water does all of those things for me!

7)  I got my first cavity at 31.  A small thing, filled without painkillers or any pain medication at all.  I have to get a crown this year, as I've found out I have what is called cracked-tooth syndrome.  I have a molar that is cracked right through (still no cavity in it!), and so I will be getting a crown in May of this year.  They say I'm too young to have the tooth pulled, and if I do this it should protect me from a root canal down the round.  Guess it's the bonus of drinking all that water!!


And now I have to nominate a few wonderful bloggers...
