Beautiful Blogger Award

Andrea of Wisdom Begins in Wonder, bestowed the Beautiful Blogger Award upon me.  My horoscope said I would be very lucky this week. So, there you go, I AM very lucky this week.  :-)


As a recipient of a Beautiful Blogger Award I am asked to share 10 things you may not know about me, then provide a list of 10 bloggers I adore.

Little Known Facts:
1.  I used to be a Rocket Scientist... technically I was a Manufacturing Engineer for the Space Shuttle Main Engine and a Test Engineer on part of the International Space Station, but Rocket Scientist is more fun to say.

2.  Before I was a Rocket Scientist, I worked for the Coors Brewing Company.  Beer, then Rocket Engines.  That makes sense, right?

3.  I prefer to work for young, entrepreneurial companies that are pursuing new ideas.  I am currently at my fifth (Astral Technology Group) and also building my own (Alpacamundo).

4.  I love to camp, but haven't been in years.

5.  I love to learn about new (to me) things and ideas.

6.  I ran finished a Half-Marathon several years ago, but haven't run much since.  I think this is odd since my husband "plays chase" for a living.

7.  I want to write and publish a book.

8.  I was an Adaptive Ski Instructor for 8 years in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

9.  I married the exact, right person.  My Husband and I develop goals and priorities together, then support each other in their pursuit.  I am extremely lucky in this regard.

10.  Life is too short to eat bad chocolate or drink bad coffee.

I suppose this is a new version of the chain letter, but since it doesn't say do this or else you'll be the recipient of bad luck, I am happy to share some of my favorite blogs and bloghers with you. Yes, I know some have been nominated before, that's a testament to how awesome they are.  I hope you will take a few minutes to check them out.

Bloggers I adore:
Holly of Knit With Snot For You
Katy the Alpaca Farm Girl
Kathleen of Alpaca Homesteading - - A to Zena
Maya of Springtree Road
Jamie of Two Chicks and a Hen
Kristi the Fiber Fool
Leslie of Home-grown Love
Suzy of Hip Mountain Mama and One Small Change
Suzie of Juniper Moon Farm
Caryn of It's HELLCHICK time!
I would put the Andrea, the WonderWhyGal on this list, but I think that might be against the rules. ;-)

Thank you Andrea for this award... you are an inspiration to me.
