Versatile Blogger, Take 2

So I’ve been nominated for Versatile Blogger again!  This time it’s thanks to:

• Intolerance is Bliss
• Green Pocket Protector
• Lipstick and Chaos

Here again are the rules:

1. Thank the person who nominated you and link back to them in your post.
2. Share 7 things about yourself.
3. Pass the award on to 7 more bloggers that you enjoy.
4. Contact the bloggers that you have chosen to let them know that they have been nominated!

Seven more fun facts!

1. I once tried counting how many pairs of shoes I had. I gave up at 50.
2. I’m legally blind without my contacts or glasses. You should see me try to get around in an unknown place without them.
3. I had braces- twice- for a total of 6 years. And then my teeth shifted so fast that my retainers didn’t fit after I got them two weeks after my braces came off.
4. I also have a slight addiction to party and cocktail dresses…people come over to “shop” in my closet.
5. I’ve read every Sherlock Holmes story at least 10 times…and the new movies are the most accurate I’ve seen.
6. My entire apartment has a beachhouse/nautical theme to pay homage to my Michigan Lake and Jersey Shore roots, even though I live 2 hours from any good sized body of water now.
7. I have 13 place settings of FiestaWare with only one color repeat…I use different colors based on the season.

And now…some more bloggers for you to discover!
