awards from blogposts past

I'm a little late on this {thank you very much grad school for completely taking over my life}, but back in January I was given an award by the lovely Amanda {from La Blondie Peruana}.

How fantastic is it that there's an award called Glob?! Or is it Glob-as-in-Globe? {any arrested development fans out there? :D} Anyhow, it stands for Gorgeous Ladies of Blogging, and it's just a lovely way to acknowledge the fantastic ladies in blogland! Here are a few of my favorite ladies {who may have already received this award, but that's okay. make sure to check them out... they're all gorgeous lady bloggers!}:

Laura from laura brown art
Erin from Pughs' News
Michelle from Oh, Mishka
Kathleen from just a small town girl
Kateigh from {poprocks} and photographs
Anna from little reminders of love

Then a couple weeks ago, Amanda tagged me with a hilarious Photo Tag. The rules are to 1.) go into your first photo folder, 2.) scroll to the 10th photo, and 3.) post that photo with the story behind it.
Yikes!
So, here it is:
Um... how to explain. Well, first of all, yes, this is me and Dannon, from our college days, back in 2004. Dannon has had many different and crazy hairstyles over the years and this particular photo was taken in the middle of going from long hair to completely bald. He started at the top and halfway through we decided this look was way too hilarious NOT to stop and have a photo shoot. So that's exactly what we did.

And just to redeem this embarrasing {yet awesome} picture, here is a recent photo of how we look now.
This is such a great photo tag, I would love to encourage all of you to play along! and then let me know so I can come see your old-school {and hopefully embarrassing} photos!
; )

PS - That giveaway will be here soon. egads! can you hardly stand it?!
