A. Area Code: The 865. Yes, that does spell VOL on your keypad. Welcome to Knoxville, y'all!

I. Instruments you play: Violin, for about 9 months in the 6th grade. I was bad at it, so I quit. Yes, I'm a quitter. That's why I didn't learn to ride a bike till I was 23. When I'm bad at something, I quit.

W. Ways/reasons you are late: Taking too long getting ready; getting distracted by just about anything.
X. Xrays you’ve had: Back and neck after something happened last summer that landed me in chiropractic care for 4 months. I couldn't turn my head. Try driving without turning your head AT ALL, then get back to me on how well that goes.

Z. Zoo animals you like: Penguins and zebras are my favorites

I also want to take a moment to thank the lovely CJ from Simply Simonsons! She gifted me this little award, and I couldn't be happier!

Since this award has no rules, I want to pass it along to a couple of non-award blogs that I absolutely love. I hope you'll go check them out, because they are AWESOME!

Jenna at That Wife (and her new ADORABLE baby boy!)
Mandy at OMG! I'm a Mom! (HILARIOUS mommy blog!) (and she does have awards on her blog! But she's too awesome to NOT include, so she's here!)
Vampy Varnish (warning: you WILL become addicted to nail polish if you follow this blog!)
Parenthetical Me (Knoxville blogger who was once a 'Bee [as were Jenna and Mandy!])

Thanks again CJ!!
