The award below was bestowed upon me way back in October by the lovely Lisa from Laughing Orca Ranch.Thank you Lisa for this Lovely award and for thinking my blog worthy of it.
It has taken me this long (shame on me!) to get around to posting about it and passing it on.
I started a post and somehow it got deleted when I was doing a little housecleaning in the old blog posting section. I know many don't participate in blog awards anymore and that is fine. If you are one of these peeps and find your name on the list below, by no means are you required in any way to pass it on or participate.
But I do want to take a moment to acknowledge some of the wonderful blogs that I read on a regular basis.
In this world of high tech social media (Twitter, Facebook, that Google Friend thing), etc. I still find blogging to be the most enjoyable of the many forms out there! Blogging is certainly more insightful and fulfilling in a way that the others are not. So to everyone on my list, please know that I enjoy what you share and post!
After I share my list of favorite blogs, which by no means will cover all of the blogs I read and love because we would be here all day reading said list, I am supposed to share seven things about myself that some of you, well most of you, may not know about me.
First my list:
I could keep going with this list for sure, but I'll stop because it could go on and on and on. If you are looking for a new blog or two to read check out some on this list. They are fantastic!
Okay now for those seven things...
1. I was a mom before I was a wife. Gasp!
2. I've been married for twenty-two years! (together for twenty-five)
3. Since moving to our present location, I've moved six times to different locations in our little valley. I despise moving!
4. I have an unnatural fear of flying. I'm 42 and I have never, I repeat never flown!
5. I like Brussels sprouts!
6. I was pretty much raised as an only child even though I have two siblings. There is a seventeen year gap between my brother and I and a fourteen year gap between my sister and I. Mom and Dad didn't expect to have another child at the age of forty...but I was their little surprise!
7. I was painfully shy has a child and didn't make friends easily. Flash forward many years and that still holds true, not so much shy anymore, but wary of others and their motives and I tend to keep to myself. That old saying, "once bitten, twice shy" holds true with me. I'm a loyal friend, a great listener and I cherish those in my life. But hurt me or someone I love and we're done!
8. A little bonus tidbit: I tend to fly my freak flag at times and I'm proud of it!
Okay, hope I didn't scare anyone off...especially with that "I like Brussels sprouts" part!
