Also, msmeanie from Chocolate Chip Trips gave me an Honest Scrap Award a while ago, and I kept forgetting to post about it! I looked up the origin of the award and found out that you're supposed to be write down five things about yourself and the readers are supposed to guess which one is true. I thought that sounded like fun, so here goes!
- I speak 5 languages fluently.
- I used to be a cosmetologist.
- I am a member of the mile-high club.
- I am have some Irish in my blood.
- I love nuts and alcohol!
I couldn't think of really crazy descriptions. Am I really that boring? haha Good luck guessing! LOL!
UPDATE ON SCHOOL: A couple of you have been asking about school, so I thought I'd provide an update. First of all, I have been done with coursework since last year, so I go to campus primarily to teach, go to occasional meetings, and that's it. I teach only one course three days a week, so I'm left with a lot of free time to work on my dissertation proposal. So, that is why I have time to cook, bake, take photos, and blog because I teach one course and do not have any classes to attend. In between time, I also work on my papers and grade.
I still haven't heard from my committee about my paper, and I'm hoping I pass. If I don't pass, I won't earn my doctorate degree, which has been my goal since I was 9 years old. Yes. NINE years old. If I do pass, however, I can go on and turn in my dissertation proposal. I hope to graduate next Spring in 2011. My mom said that if I graduate next year, we would go back to Europe, and she would pay for everything! How's that for incentive? So, please pray for me or send good karma that I pass. I'm really nervous about the results. I don't know what I would do without my PhD.
Congrats on getting the recognition from The Pioneer Woman! Keep the your awesome recipes coming!

Congrats on all your recognition. It is very much deserved.
ReplyDeleteTo tell you the truth, I don't see what all the fuss is about. Ha ha! kidding. I think you're pretty fabulous too.
ReplyDeleteI don't know which ones are true. I know the number 5 is completely false. I'm gonna guess number 1 is true though I know that French is not one of those languages :-)
La número tres.
ReplyDeleteWonderful news! Very exciting all the way around.
ReplyDelete¡felicidades! You and your blog really are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. That's quite an honor coming from a veteran food blogger like Ree. Is the true on that you speak 5 languages fluently? While not as exciting as being a member of the mile high club, its far more impressing!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! You have a great blog so no surprises. And good luck.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful news for you. Congrats and definitely deserved!
