I GOT TAGGED?!?!

Yes, and -->this girl<-- forgot. =P Anyway, sorry for yesterday's havoc design changes, I just couldn't make up my mind... =P It wasn't "completely me". ;D Anyway, onwardwith the tag!!!!!! ;)

Thanks sooooo much to Madeline, who gave me this tag. :) You go, girl!!! :)

Anyway...

1. How would you describe your style?
Mostly comfortable, like when I'm around my friends and family and by myself. But when I go out to bigger stuff I usually want to look nice, I just usually don't really know HOW... =P (though I know if I look awful......)
2. What are your wardrobe staples?
Well, currently, because of the brace-thing, I've been stuck in perpetual sports wear. (read below post) So, yeah. Sporty look--sport shorts, T-shirts, Bearpaw boots, and sweat pants. =D
3. Most expensive clothing item you own?
Hmm... probably these new shorts I just got from Wal-Mart, because I usually shop at thrift stores. (though the most it-should-be-expensive-but-I-got-it-cheap-because-I-bought-it-at-a-thrift-store are two pairs of Bearpaw boots. :))
4. Most wanted item?
Um... probably more Bearpaw boots (haha... I really am an addict... =D) and scarves. I. LOVE. SCARVES. (have I said that before...?)
5. Favorite designer?
Eh... I don't really know. ;)
6. How much do you spend on clothing?
Usually not that much. (you know, thrift store...?) At the MOST twenty dollars.
7. Favorite places to shop?
THRIFT STORES!!!!!!!!!! =D
8. Favorite Fragrance?
Urm... um.... err.... I don't know? =P

9. Favorite way to do your hair?
Well, I used to just do a ponytail and thick headband (which I still sometimes resort to =P), but lately I've been doing this side ponytail thing which I like, because it works well with my side bangs. ;) And I like doing a side bun on the top of my head with a thin headband. ;) (<--that's probably my best look)
10. Most prized possession?
My two pairs of Bearpaw boots. Definitely. ;D

And who shalt I awardeth? ;)

It doesn't say how many, sooooooooooooooooo....

I'll just do five. :)

Being featured:
I would do a link to all of the blogs that you're apart of, write a little something about you, maybe a favorite post of yours that I've read, and you'd get a little award saying "I was featured on Rubberboot Girl".

Personalized interview:
I would come up with questions and things that pertain right to you, instead of like something that you would just fill out. (believe me, this is seriously fun. I got to do one with Maddie.... yeah, anyway... ;))

Rainy Day Blog Award

And I know for sure that this is what it says: "Awarded to Bloggers who Brighten a Rainy Day." Thanks, Madeline, for the clarification on Jenny's blog!!! =D

1. Thank the person who awarded you and give her/his link:

Thanks so much, Jenny!!!! =D

2. What do you do on a rainy day?

Rainy day? Hmm....... I don't get many rainy days, but I do get some, and when I do get them, I usually end up reading a book or playing the piano. Or sometimes laboriously writing stories out in notebooks. =D

3. How often does it rain where you live?

Sometimes. Mostly in July..... ;)

4. Nominate 3 or more people this award.

So, I know that a few people who make me happy have already gotten this award (example: Madeline, Jenny, Piano Bookworm.........).

So........ the people that I think would appreciate this award and who I think that this award should go to. 

Are you guys ready?

Are you holding your breath, wondering if you got the award because you just went onto this blog without checking to see if I'd notified you?

OK, here we go!!!!

Oh, wow, this is going to be hard.....!

Otter Days. Yes, I had to immediately do Otter Days, because Otter Days is like my best friend, and I would do Piano Bookworm, but she's already gotten the award from Jenny. ;)

Jess. And, yes, of course Jess gets it (haha). =D Because her blogs are just awesome and I love them. :)

Madeline May. Yes, Maddie. Maddie's had a really special part in my blogging world by being the first person to ever have been on my blog other than my friend Otter Days. Thanks so much, Maddie!! =D

And I know that the rest of you deserve this, but I've decided just to do three. :)

5. Notify the nominees.

Will do. ;)

Bye!!!!

P.S. OK, I know this is random, but I just had to say that if you haven't listened to Gold by Britt Nicole, well, you should!!!! It's awesome and I'm listening to it right now!!!!! =D 

Contest!

Hello!!!

So now guess what's caught up to cool pictures? Contests and quizzes!!!!  Yay!!!!!! =D So, guess what's going to happen? Instead of a Jessie Bender letter at right this moment (I'll probably write one later), I'm going to be doing a contest. Yes, a contest. If I start this contest, there'll be a contest going on on all of my blogs!!!!! Well, except The Story Club, but that's different..... ;) And by the way--check that blog out!! The Story Club has lots of awesome authors!! I believe that Willow just posted her awesome story there..... (and click on the link for an awesome blog!!!)

OK, so what's the contest? 

You get to do just what Connie did in my story!! OK, OK, not exactly. What you're going to do is describe a beautiful place that's close to your heart, just as Connie described Grandma Beacon's place in her report. The two people with the most promising descriptions will be put up against each other in a poll for you to decide who gets the awesome award that I have yet to create!!!!

To enter: just put your story in the comments of this post. As long as it fits in the comments, then it's short enough. (note: please no like 300 page stories, please!!) The judging will be done all by Storyteller. If you have won by popular vote of the people on this blog, you may, and only then, drag off your award that I will soon post.

Bye!!!
