I guess she gets my weird.

Since I choose to accept this nomination, I have to follow the instructions (that’s how they get ya) and I will try to do my best to keep this going…

Rules of the one lovely blog award…

  • You must thank the person who nominated you and include a link to their blog.
  • You must list the rules and display the award.
  • You must add 7 facts about yourself.
  • You must nominate 15 other bloggers and comment on one of their posts to let them know they have been nominated.
  • You must display the award logo and follow the blogger who nominated you.

Rule 1 & 2 & 5 already done.

7 Facts about myself

  1. My favorite romance author is Amanda Quick. Her heroes are always so dreamy, even when they are trying to be dour. I like the strong silent type. I think that is what attracted me to my hubby. I digress…
  2. I like camping. My hubby introduced me to the outdoor life and I love it (as long as I have electrical hookup, running water, my kindle, ipad, and decent phone reception :))
  3. I am in love with food (but you probably could tell that already).
  4. I read my poetry at open mic events in my hometown.
  5. I made it a personal goal this year to read the entire Bible in less than a year. I am 75% through so I think I will make my goal.
  6. I like to play tennis. Sometimes when I serve, I pretend to be Serena Williams.
  7. Sometimes I read the dictionary for fun. I admit I am a logophile (word lover)
  8. An extra fact: Today 9/5/2014 is my 3 year blog-aversary!!!!

WordPress Family Award

WordPress Family Award

I am a major procrastinator at times and this is why, even though I received this award last month, I am just getting around to acknowledging it. Sorry Kathryn!

Thanks for the “WordPress Family Award”. I like being part of a global community where people can share their thoughts and ideas with others.

The rules for this award are simple.  They are:  1) Display the award logo on your blog; 2) Link back to the person who nominated you; 3) Nominate 10 others you see as having an impact on your WordPress experience and family;  4) Let your 10 Family members know you have awarded them; and  5) That is it.  Just please pick 10 people who have taken you as a friend, and spread the love.

I have not been able to spend much time as I would like to finding new blogs, so my friend’s blogs might have been recognized by me before.

  1. Alesia blogs – she is gone for the summer but when she returns she will have interesting, fun stories about family and life
  2. Cosmic Chaos – she is a friend of mine that I met through the local writing group in my hometown. She is also an awesome poet and most recently a published author. Her book Blood Adversaries is now available on Amazon. BUY her book!!!
  3. Love Life and Creative Things – she has not posted in several months, but I just go and look at her maple bacon cupcake picture. Mmmm bacon
  4. Bruce Louis Dodson – he moved to Sweden and I am living vicariously through his experiences. I also like the cat tales. Hilarious.
  5. Raani York – she has funny down-to-earth letters to celebs that make me laugh out loud.
  6. August McLaughlin – she post very intellectual, thought provoking posts that have me thinking long after I am finished reading.

And because I am feeling lazy, I did not include 10 blogs like I am supposed to. There are a lot of great bloggers out there. I plan to get more connected in the future.
