I have to admit to being a terrible award recipient. I love the idea of blog awards but my time online's so limited these days, it's a challenge to keep up with them. But LD Masterson was so kind in awarding my blog The Irresistibly Sweet Blog award, I'll pass it along.
Rules:
1. Thank and link to the person who nominates you - Thanks so much, LD Masterson! LD has a wonderful blog - you should check it out.
2. Share seven random facts about you - Here they are - hope they don't put you to sleep:
I love to experiment in the kitchen but rarely do because my family's so picky. However, I occasionally will spring a new dessert on them (hey, if they don't like it, more for me! There's a method to my madness, bwahaha). In fact, that award button's making me hungry right now.
I could write until the day I die and still not finish everything I want to do. In fact, my muse will probably continue to toss ideas at me post-mortem. Maybe that will be my hell.
I love love love to be in exotic places, but hate to travel. Quite the conundrum.
I think it's important to challenge myself. There's a great saying: Do one thing every day that scares you. Except bungee jumping. I see no benefit in that, but plenty of bruising.
The older I get, the more afraid of heights I am. Not sure why, as I have no more common sense now than when I was ten and jumped off my parents' roof. Luckily, we lived in a rancher, not a three-story home. Or the top floor of an apartment building.
Most of my career has centered around media-related jobs - I've worked for an online political news site owned by AP, was the Membership and Member Services Director for the state newspaper association for many years, and briefly wrote as a freelance journalist.
The above, coupled with the fact that I attended Catholic school for the first eight grades, explains why I'm such a stickler (yep, I'm anal) for grammar and spelling. Math, not so much.
3. Pass this award to five new blogging friends - And here they are:
Susan Kelley/Gourley
Arlene Webb
Barbara Elsborg
Chrystalla Thoma
DL Jackson
(Sorry about the weird spacing. Blogger's such a bugger these days. I tried to fix it, I really did.)
4. Contact and congratulate the awarded bloggers - I'll rely on their web alerts to do that, so if they don't reciprocate, that's okay too. But I heartily encourage you to check out each and every one of the awardees.
But seriously, as of today, I'm making it official. This blog is an award-free zone. Your comments are award enough! I do appreciate your kindness, though, and hope you'll stop by to say hi often. :)
