I hope you’re off to a great healthy day (yes … I did just have to throw the “healthy” in there … come on now!).

First of all, I would like to say THANK YOU to all who take time out of their crazy busy day to read Green Grapes Blog and then—provide input! Your comments, e-mails, blog hits, and challenge submissions truly put a smile on my face … really … they do! SO—once again, a big THANKS from me to YOU!!!

AND, an even bigger THANKS to Shannon from Lessons to Learn. She was kind enough to nominate me for the Beautiful Blogger Award—so sweet!!!

Now, what I’ve gathered about this award is that I’m supposed to tell ya 7 fun facts all about me,  and then nominate 7 other lovely bloggers.

Let’s give it a whirl, shall we???

7 Facts About Moi

1. I have Swiss citizenship, but have NOT yet gone to Switzerland! (Ha-ha. I know—right?).
2. I start every day by drinking 2 ginormous glasses of water followed by a cup of joe, which is likely accompanied by a bowl of oats or a straight-up baked or microwaved sweet potato with some sea salt.
3. Two of my life goals are to write a fun chick-lit novel and to become a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association (ADA). Boy, when you put these two in the same sentence they appear somewhat random, BUT the goals are true …just not tried (give me some years )
4. My best friend’s name is Lindsay. We’ve known each other since the ripe old age of 2!!! We refer to one another as “diaper buddy.”
5. I adore the endorphin rush from a good workout and happen to take pride in my obscene sweating abilities—hey, it just means I really worked it out!
6. I LOVE physiology text books, nutrition journals, medicine jargon and all the good “sciency stuff” that accompanies becoming an RD, but I also LOVE watching E! News and romantic comedies and reading US Weekly.
7. All of my family and close friends call me “Rinny” or “Corinney.” When I came to college I thought the name would vanish, but nope—somehow it has managed to migrate from California to Boston and stick!!!

7 Bloggers I Nominate!

1. Lindsey from Healthy Blog Snack
2. Jessica from A Fete For Food
3. Elizabeth from Don’t (White) Sugar-Coat It
4. Janel from Dine Dish Delish
5. Kasey from Fit For Wellness
6. Gina from The Candid RD
7. Kristen from The Swanky Dietitian

THANKS … AGAIN!!!

See y’all soon!
