Not all that stylish...but here goes

Wow, I got nominated for a 

stylish blogger award

What should I wear?

Vintage or new....?  

Is it in LA or will I need to hit Manhattan....

What?....I don't get go anywhere?

  

Or shop for some new Manolo's?

  

And I need to write something?

You're joking right?!

Ok....I'll do it anyway!

Twist my arm...

Two of my favorite bloggers actually tapped me for this task.

Jeanette, truly a great friend and a downright wonderful person.  Here is a link to her blog: JVW Home.  She is funny, creative and gorgeous too! 

Do we hate her yet?  Just kidding of course...

And Artie, also a wonderful friend 

and about as talented as any young designer out there.  

You know him via Color Outside the Lines

I heart Artie

So here is how this works....I must divulge 7 things about myself and then pass this award on to 10 bloggers so they can do the same.  

Sounds pretty simple right?

Wrong...

this post took me forever

Here are the sad but true facts....

1. I like to iron.... as in using an ironing board...is that just about the weirdest thing ever?  Its like meditation for me.  I don't do it very often, about once a month but it's a zen thing.  Oh and my favorite thing to iron is cloth napkins!  Are you excited for me?  Ironing a 12" square piece of fabric...what a party animal...
2. I ski.  Actually very well and I have skied with some really famous skiers.  I will name two of the top of my head...Robert Redford and Stein Eriksen.  Both wonderful skiers and really funny people.  Oh and Stein likes Schnapps!
3. I like to fish....I have bagged a Marlin, Barracuda, Bass and Trout, Halibut and the occasional tin can and other peoples fishing lines... I can bait my hook with live stinky anchovies and dead squid and  I can also scale, gut and fillet...OK now that I have made you all sufficiently sick I'll move along
4. I am a crazy nervous mess on airplanes.  I'm not sure why...I think it's the fact that I feel like I'm in "lock down" with a bunch of coughing strangers for hours....and I can't get away.  Oh and I always seem to get the extra security pat down.  Usually by a big scary lady who looks like she wants to slap me and thinks I have contraband in my shoe. 
5. Speaking of shoes...I love shoes...enough said
6. I am constantly in need of one or all of the following:  a manicure, a haircut, a visit to the dentist, gas for my car, a trip to the grocery store, a glass of wine, a cup of coffee, a pair of reading glasses, a triple AAA battery, my car keys, a doggie potty bag, lunch, my purse, a shower....this list just goes on and on!
7. If I could go back in time and change my life somehow, here is the thing I would do a bit differently:  I would have taken more time in my 20's to enjoy the world and nurture my creativity and spirit a bit more.   It's OK to be selfish sometimes, especially when you are young.
