Thank you Nicole for choosing me for one of Kreative Blogger. Unfortunately I am not as savvy as you with the blog construction, but I am trying!One of the responsibilities of this award is to list 7 things that I love in this world along with 7 blogs I love following. These 7 blogs I mention must do the same. Let's do it to it shall we?!
1. My husband, Michael. He is my best friend and the yin to my yang. We are very different, but fit together very well. We have been together for almost 12 years and married for almost 3 years. The photo above is one my favorite photos of us together. The day of our wedding was the happiest day of my life.
2. Audrey Hepburn. I love everything about her. She was beautiful on the inside and out. Always a perfect role model for fashion, style, grace, philanthropy and selflessness. Sounds funny, but I have many childhood memories that involve her. At the ages of 5 and 6 I would watch My Fair Lady over and over (I live for the part when she descends the stairs transformed and magnificent). As I got older I discovered Breakfast at Tiffany's and it is still my favorite movie to this day.
3. My pugs, Oscar and Leo. I could go on and on about them. They both have the most adorable faces, but very different dispositions. It is truly amazing how your troubles from the day can melt away when you come home and see your dogs so incredibly happy to see you.
4. My mother Margaret. Isn't she just so lovely?! She has always been there for me even if at times she is not in full agreement with me :) She has taught me to love and appreciate the arts and culture, tradition and family, and how to make even the most simple of things special. "Maggie" is an incredible and passionate person and I am so blessed to have her as a mother.
5. Christmas. It just involves so many wonderful things...family, friends, gifts, cooking, parties, and of course the hope and faith that go with the whole day itself. The most wonderful Christmas I have ever experienced was in 2007. We were in Salzburg, Austria with my parents, brother, sister-in-law, and sister. It was the most picturesque holiday I have ever experienced. However, it was very cold (very hard for a sun bunny like me!)
6. I HEART NY...and Sex and the City! If I ever had the opportunity to move to a large city in the U.S., I would pick NYC 100 times over any other place. The city is never-ending with things to do, see, and eat...that is my kind of town. Plus, it is our fashion capital, which leads me to ...
Sex and the City! Probably my favorite television show of all time. The two best things about the show are the friendships and the fashion. As silly as it sounds, when I moved to Tulsa and lived by myself, these 4 characters got me through some tough times since my Opa had just passed away and I had not made any friends in the T-town yet.
7. Food! I live to eat, cook and bake! However, when it comes to food, I love thinking about the question that Anthony Bourdain often asks so many chefs...if you were going to die today, what would you want your last meal to be? I have narrowed it down to 2 choices. The southern girl side of me would want some hearty and comforting chili, cornbread, and red wine.
However, the Austrian half of me would want Wienerschnitzel (pork, not veal), rice and peas, and champagne (w/raspberries). Bon Apetit!
7 Blogs I love:
Nicole and Matt! Such wonderful friends and I love our dinners. What I always find hilarious is that when we get together we talk about our animals and food most of the time. Nicole, your blog is adorable and it inspires me to blog more!
My baby sister Katherine! She is studying abroad in Bamberg, Germany right now. Stinky, you are my heart and I love all your writing, witty observations, and photos.
Tami, the Potato Queen! You are the one who introduced me to blog spot and I love you for it! I miss seeing you every day at work, but then it just makes it that much more fun when I see you and your sassy self.
Long story short, I believe Jess and I were separated at birth. It is astounding how we have so many common likes and loves. Jess is also becoming a master baker and just remodeled her newlywed nest, modern ski-island style!
The blog for the "Hostess with the Mostess". This blog is a feast for the eyes. So man chic ideas for parties, decor and food.
This is the Dallas Ft. Worth Pug Rescue blog. We actually resued Leo through this organization. They are the largest pug rescue in the nation and are awesome because they will leave "no pug unturned". Warning: some of the photos are hard to see if you have any kind of heart for animals.
7. To be Announced (I need to follow more blogs!)
Hooray, it is almost Friday!
