I'd like to thank...

I just received my very first blogger award! Maybe it's silly to be so excited, but I am. =) Thank you Bethany at B getting hot!. I give you one right back!

With this award comes a to-do list:

1. Link back to the person who gave the award to you
2. Share seven things about yourself
3. Pass the award on to 15 recently discovered great bloggers (or as many as you can).
4. Contact those bloggers and tell them they’ve won.

So here are 7 things about me:

1. I want a weenie dog. Bad. As soon as we move to a place where I can have one, I will. I also kind of want a BIG dog so that I can walk them both at the same time. How cute! hehe
2. I grew up in Montana and still consider it my hometown. I'm grateful for the small town values I learned there.
3. I found out I was a type 2 diabetic when I was 18, just after graduation. I wish I knew about low carb then!
4. I'm a total 80's hairband girl to this day. I do like some newer rock, but most of the time my Sirius is on Hair Nation.
5. I can say my alphabet backwards. The weird thing is that my bff (also named Brandi) can do it too. <cue Twilight Zone music>
6. I am determined to figure out a way to go to NY and have a makeover done by Carmindy (of What Not To Wear fame.)
7. I love flip flops. Insanely. I love Old Navy's 2 for $5 ones and I have a ton of them. Flip Flop Heaven we call it. =)

Now here are my nominations in no particular order:

• Skinny Emmie
• The Great Fitness Experiment
• Escape From Obesity (This is the first blog that I found and caused me to become addicted to them. Lyn is amazing! So is her low carb meatloaf recipe that led me to her. You gotta try it!)
