Versatile Blogger Award, Take Two!

You may remember that in an earlier post the lovely Alison from Stuff and Nonsense awarded me with the versatile blogger award (thank you!)

Well, the equally lovely Terri from A Creative Princess has awarded it to Hazel and Honeysuckle as well! 

I'm definitely feeling the love! <3 Thanks so much!!

OK, so to recap - I share 7 facts about myself, then pass the award onto some of my favourite blogging ladies out there so they can join in the fun too! Here goes..!

#1 I'm a terrible procrastinator, but when I actually get around to working I'm pretty efficient. This fools people into thinking I'm working steadily all the time ;)

#2 My man and I have decided that our slobby, studentesque ways must end! Today was our first day of getting up at 7 a.m., taking the dog for a walk, and starting work at 9! Wish us luck in turning this into our routine!

#3 I love books. I love reading them (of course!) but I also love the feel of the paper, sound of the pages turning and most of all I love the smell of books! An e-reader will never cut it for me unless they can simulate that! Oh, hang on...

(How weird is this??)

#4 I love animals (in case my posts about my dog's birthday didn't give that away already!) so even though we're students and renting, we still have a menagerie in our home! We have our dog Benny, seven rats and two aquariums, 140L tropical tank and a 100L tank holding an eel-tailed catfish.

#5 I spend a ridiculous amount of time playing Facebook games. But, y'know, you gotta keep your frontier and vineyard running smoothly, right?? *sigh* I think I need help!

#6 I've never travelled overseas, not even to Tasmania! ;)

#7 My PhD is on developing software to teach social skills to kids with high functioning autism and Asperger Syndrome. I hope my software can do some good, it's all very exciting!

OK, so I guess if there was a fact #8 it would be "I'm a rambler!" but I'll stop there ;)

Onto the next fun bit - passing this award onto some great bloggers! The rules say 15 this time, but last time said 7, so I'm going to do another 8 to add up to 15 total, OK? ;) It's so hard choosing!
