A Versitile Blogger Award and Spreading the Luv!

 

Well I’m just pickled tink!  Linda King over at “Excuse me while I note that down” nominated me for a most versatile blogger award!  This is my first and only nomination since I started blogging a few months ago, and it felt just loverly to find my name on her list.  Many thanks to Linda for the nod and I’m glad you have enjoyed my little nut-tree. 

So, the task at hand is I need to share seven things here-to-fore unknown things about myself?  Hmmm. And, they must be interesting? I shall try.

1)      I am quite possiby the worst typits on the palnet.  See?  I left that for proof.  I think my right hand is faster than my left.  I have typos in almost every sentence I write. I shall blame Mrs. Longway and all those piano lessons.  I always type “Blooger” and often call my own “bloog” "my little nit-tree."  (scratch-scratch)

2)      I met my husband in typing class in high-school.  He is still married to me—typos aside. I must have other talents... 

 

3)      We have two girls (11 and 3).  I had the three year-old when I was forty-three.  (C’mon.  You can do the math.)

4)    My current WIP is a MG fantasy novel about a young girl named Gia.  It involves time-travel, "dreamwalking" and takes place in Glastonbury, England--presently and in 1895.  It originated as a story I used to tell my oldest daughter before bedtime.

5)      Once, while working in a restaurant, and under pressure to help a rather snarky bee-yatch wrap up her lunch, pay and go, (all in ten seconds or less) I noticed there was a cockroach in the to-go container I had grabbed for her, but I dumped her left-over Thai salad on top of it anyway.  Bon Appetite!   (It was a little one and that was over twenty years ago.  Does that help?)

6)      I love to sing and I teach toddler music classes at our local library. (Videos for my under-five-year-old fans.)   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMSheB03-qw

7)      I’m a shameful Anglophile and love anything to do with England.  I annoy people often with my faux British accent, and oft use "whilst" whilst writing my blog.

 

 

Now, for my fifteen.  Hopefully you will find being nominated a warm fuzzy as I did, and not a chore.  Please know you have been chosen for versatility, moxie, and flair. I admire greatly what each and every one of you dutiful bloggers do and find your posts inspirational, thought-provoking and often-times high-larious.   I know several of you are very busy as of late, and might groan at having to put up fifteen links, but tough titties.  (Although if you really are too busy for such frivolity...no biggie.)
