Life's Whirlwind Adventures

I was given my first blogger award last week (The Versatile Blogger Award) by my terrific friend Mireille Chester. I am super excited. :D Be sure to check out Mireille’s blog http://mireillechester.tumblr.com/post/6723792402/versatile-blogger-award#disqus_thread There are requirements for accepting the award.

I have dual citizenship, so I often consider myself a citizen of North America. 2. I love Survivor and Big Brother, but I don't watch any other Reality Television, I think the rest is fake. lol 3.
