The Blogger Awards

Thanks to Claire for giving me this award



The rules of this award are: State 7 truths about yourself, then pass to 7 bloggers.

1. When I was in the fifth grade I learned the song "Fifty Nifty United States", and nearly twenty years later I can still recite all fifty states in alphabetical order in about 20 seconds.

2. There are only eight "Kaponers" left in the world: my dad Ed Kaponer, my mom Lourdes Kaponer, my brother Rich Kaponer, my sister-in-law Kat Kaponer, my uncle Larry Kaponer, my aunt Linda Kaponer, my cousin Jason Kaponer, and myself Laura Kaponer-Abate. I knew when I got married not only would I keep my last name, but I plan to give Kaponer as the middle name to each of my children to pass the name along. It's important to me.

3. I collect things: DVD's, angels/faeries/cherubs, pencils, funky colored nail polish, baord games, shoes, cigar boxes, apple decor for my kitchen, funny t-shirts...

4. I am still a child at heart: afternoon naps, coloring books, stuffed animals, disney movies, sleep with a night light, call my parents "mommy" and "daddy".

5.Halloween is by far my fave holiday. I always dress up, never wear the same costume twice, and start planning my next costume November 1st

6. I am a medical anomaly; doctors can never figure out what's wrong with me when there are things clearly wrong with me. All exams, tests, and vitals come back normal even if I'm vomiting up green and randomly bleeding...not to gross anyone out, but it's so frustrating bc if they don't know what's wrong than they can't treat me properly.

7. I believe in fate, karma, and reincarnation. Even though I think I often get the shit end of the stick when I don't deserve it. That's what faith is about I guess, blindly believing.

I meant to ask you if the Lkaponer bit was meant to mimic Al Capone. :)

Funny thing Claire, many people make the connection between "Capone" and 'Kaponer" because they sound so similar, but in fact "Capone" is Italian while "Kaponer" is Prussian. No connection.
