A Versatile Blogger Award? Who Me?!

Really?  You shouldn't have, Sarah!  Awwe, I am really touched and honored!  Thank you, my friend!  You are truly wonderful! ( Yes, I am doing the happy dance with a beaming smile)

For my non-blogging followers, this is one of several awards that bloggers award to each other as way of showing appreciation for the blogs that they enjoy.

The rules for accepting this award are as follows:
1. Thank the award-givers and link back to them in your post. (see Sarah's name up there?)
2. Share 7 things about yourself. 
3. Pass this award along to 15 other bloggers.
4. Contact your chosen bloggers to let them know about the award.

7 things about me:
1. At one of my first job as a bank teller, I was robbed at my teller window.  I never had to testify against the robber because he died in jail.  To this day, I can tell you exactly what he looked like, what he wore and how the incident occurred from start to finish.

2. Some people think I'm clairvoyant.  I've had premonitious dreams of  people that I am close to and would know ahead of time of an event that will occur. Those events were sometimes good & sometimes bad. Some of the dreams helped to prevent some bad things from really happening!

3. I am not a huge fan of chocolate. If you're going to buy or make me a cake, ice cream or candy, do not get me chocolate. When I'm a little off for whatever reason and all of the sudden chocolate must be consumed, it can only be Hersheys brand of choc, Godiva, Dove, Snickers, Twix and or M&Ms.

4. I used to stuff and fold potstickers at my parents' restaurant.  My older brother used to time how fast I could  fill up a 15x17 pan.  Each posticker had to be neatly folded and presentable. No meat/stuffing was allowed to gush out or bust out of the edges.  Record time:  13 minutes , approximately 60 potstickers

5. I am Rainman.  I can't do math like him but I can remember numbers you won't believe.  All it takes is for me to see somethng with numbers and I'll remember what it is.  Things like license plate, drivers license, social security numbers and phone numbers are the easiest things for me to remember.

6. I am deaf. It is the reason why I talk like I have retainers in my mouth. (I have a retainer too but that's not the culprit)   Not completely deaf,  but enough that I cannot hear whistling, beeping, birds chirping from a distance, someone whispering in my ear and or talking from behind me or in another room. High pitched sounds are not audible from a distance.  I read lips and that helps me to 'hear' what you're saying.  If  you are next to me and in the same room,  I can hear you so don't start yelling like I can't hear you talking. 

7. I am a sore loser.  I hate to lose .  Doesn't matter what it is, I just hate to lose.  I'm not competive though.  I won't challenge anyone to make myself feel better. (ok ok sometimes I will ask for a rematch) Simply said, I just hate to lose. Period.
