A Bloggy Award

So FUN Michelle HERE Tagged me for an award...

The rules are to post 7 things about myself and pass on the 15 bloggers.. FUN!1

7 Things about Tall Mom:

1. This past year I have made some truly great friends through blogging and running. This network of pals is growing by the minute and I feel so BLESSED!!! I can hardly wait until June 25th to meet Bloggers near and far in Seattle!!! The EVITE to carbo night goes out this week. If you are running or spectating Seattle Rock N Roll and have not received info please email me.
2. Our youngest son is named after a place that my Dad took us growing up to find edible mushrooms and my Dad. Whenever we got to visit or drive past the sign it makes me smile. If we have another baby I would have to stick with the WA city names, since Little Stud #1 is also a WA city name....UGH! If it is a girl...hmmm Lacey is a pretty name??

3. I love black and white photography, I spent hours in the dark room in college. I once took a photo of a bucket of baseballs... Before I took the photo I went up the the coach, my roommate's Dad, and said "Can I take a picture of your balls?" RED FACE!!! Yes I am that cool. Good news is my artsy prof loved the photo, as much as he did not want to. VICTORY for the humiliation.

4. My favorite distance is 10 miles. If I had time and could run 10 miles every day I would. Not sure what it is about double digits. Hmmmm....maybe it is time for a Tall Mom Ten Miler.... Takers?

5. I feel like I am VERY CLOSE to something big... Just have not figured out what that big thing is yet. But I hold hope that I will figure it out soon :) And when I do?? I will be sure to share.

6. I will not, should not, could not and do not watch scary, suspenseful, war, gore or horror movies. NO THANKS! Even the commercials freak me out. The closest thing to scary I watch is Ghost Whisperer...LOL.. and I have to watch that with the lights on an Muscle Man in close proximity. Yes I am a BIG scardy-cat!

7. I think everyone should own and wear bright colors shoes. I personally own bright pink and green and LOVE them. a cool pair of shoes can spice up an outfit and be fun.
