Really slackin these days but...Stylish Blogger award wohoo!

Can't say that I've been on my A game lately in terms of blogging given that in my last post I couldn't even get dates right....literally, I had 3 people say to my face "Hill, loved your post but Valentines day in on Monday you dummy".  Ok ok, I only got the "you dummy" from one person,but I swear I could see that "dunce" hat in people's eyes haha.

Luckily my bloggy friends out there have forgiven me and I have been nominated for a Stylish Blogger award!


Thank you to Hockey Wife @ Face Off: The Life of a Hockey Wife for nominating me...I feel so special :o) Anyone who is interested in getting another Hockey Wife, (who is living in the UK), perspective on daily life go check out her blog!  Also thank you to people who follow me and readers in general...makes a girl feel good that people take the time to read my posts or wander around my site and leave comments!

Anyway I know a lot of you are familiar with this award but for those of you who aren't, you are supposed to share 7 things about yourself and then nominate other blogs that you feel are also "stylish".

So here goes...7 things you probably don't know about me:

1. I am a hair color/style changing whore (please excuse my french :o)
Some say I have a problem, like my hairdressers for one, but I say I like to keep things fresh.  Don't get me wrong I only dabble between blondes and browns but I do get a tad obsessive.  For instance, if I am blonde at the time and I see like a quarter inch of roots I will march my way down to my hair dresser that day.  You could say I'm impulsive or anal...and I would have to agree with both haha.  Here are some of many looks:

I may look happy in this picture...but inside I am die'n. Look at those ROOTS!!
ok this is really a wig but I DID seriously consider going red after halloween
This is my most current. It'll do...for now :o)

2. I was a Captain for my college Soccer team- GO Warriors!


3. I own a messy car.  Something I probably shouldn't share with people but none the less it make me ME.  Don't get my wrong it's not "dirty"....but there is A LOT of junk in it....from bathing suits to hockey sticks....I probably have every piece of clothing or piece of equipment you may ever need in my little car.

4. I am from the Boondocks.  Not sure if everyone know the term "boondocks" means so let me break it down for you.
  • The term boondocks refers to a remote, usually brushy rural area; or to a remote city or town that is considered unsophisticated.
Haha I laughed at that last part....why yes I am very unsophisticated haha.  Anyway, if your having trouble imagining what this might look like think of little house on the prairies...or cow tipping haha.
Basically I am from this extremely small rural town in Massachusetts that know one has ever heard of...not even people from MA.  I just say I'm from "boston" to make it easier which leads me to my next little tidbit about myself:

5. I HATE BOSTON ACCENTS
I'm not hating on people from Boston by any means because I absolutely love them.....how can you not ;o) But I really REALLY hate when someone has a strong Boston accent. Now I'm sure most of you would think I had an accent if we had an actual conversation, but I really do make an effort to pronounce my "R's" haha.  To me, a strong Boston accent sounds extremely unintelligent/trashy.  Case in point, Blake Lively in the move "The Town"; She plays a local from Boston and (tries) to have a Boston accent and just sounds plain retarded.  Which brings me to another point...I hate people who TRY to have a Boston accent even more...you can't fake this stuff....but I digress...

6. I have an obsession with Michael Kors watches
I own a few now but I literally wish I owned all of them.  It pains me to walk through Macy's and stare at all of the one's that I don't own/can't afford.


7. I am SUPER CLUMSY
My sister makes fun of my because everyday growing up I would fall down our stairs.  I'm not exaggerating...every day.  Jordan also makes fun of me for this but I secretly think he adores it :o)  When he first got to Finland I asked him how he liked his roommate and he said "yeah I like him...He actually reminds me of you...he runs into the door and trips over the rug ALL of the time".  Haha that totally made me smile....it's the little things people ;o)

Ok enough about me.  I'm not even sure how many people I am supposed to nominate for this but here's my run down of daily reading material.  Each of these blogs are written by interesting and "stylish" women so I encourage you to check them out!
