Why, I honestly wasn't expecting this!

Alright, my good friend Erika gave me this award:

As a recipient of this award, I am required to meet the following expectations:
1) Name 5 things you love.
2) Pass the award on to 5 blogs you love.
3) Link back to the giver's blog and tell how fabulous they are.

...here goes!

FIVE THINGS I LOVE:

1) Movie theaters where you can buy your tickets and choose your seats online. Why didn't people think of this sooner? And why haven't more theaters gotten on the bandwagon there?




2) Hugh Jackman. Yep, he just got named as People's Sexiest Man of the year. Mmmm!




3) This new website I discovered: www.cakewrecks.blogspot.com. The commentary on this site cracks me up! And looking at some of these 'masterpieces' usually puts a smile on my face.




4) Snow Patrol's new album, A Hundred Million Suns. I just got it yesterday, and I listened to it six times through. My favorite track so far is #4, 'Lifeboats.'




5) My Kitchen-Aid mixer (well, my mom's hand-me-down one). I wouldn't love cooking/baking half as much if I actually had to STIR things!





FIVE BLOGS I LOVE:

1) Scott. Apparently his blog is pretty popular! I quite enjoy hearing whatever he has to write about, no matter how boring or mundane he thinks it is.

2) Lacy. So eloquent. So tasty. Chock full of a splendid mix of television, politics, English...

3) Adrianne. If I ever want to read something about your life, I know you've blogged about it, complete with pictures!

4) Stephanie. Life as a grad student has got to be stressful, but you make it sound like so much fun!

5) Anyone who wants to try this out! I really love reading all your blogs!


...and to Erika, who tagged me...you must know how ADD I am at work because I need distraction, and this served as a great one! Erika, it never ceases to amaze me how you do it all! And blog about it to boot! I can always imagine when your kids do something bad how they must expect a camera to appear and start snapping...they've got to be conditioned now, right? ;) Thanks for keeping us up-to-date with everything!
