award doings #1
March 23, 2013 at 11:48 pm 10 comments
Good Saturday afternoon. I have some unfinished business to attend to – some award doings. So without further adieu (I love how that word sounds), I would like to attend to THE doings.
First doing is the Versatile Blogger Award. I was nominated by a very sweet young lady whose really cool blog is Confection Infection – It’s Cheaper to Keep Her♥. The link is http://confection1nfection.wordpress.com/ Please check her out. She is quite the hip and happenin’ chick, with nails to die for –
I have gathered the criteria below directly from The Versatile Blogger Award site which is – http://versatilebloggeraward.wordpress.com/vba-rules/
- Thank the person who gave you this award. That’s common courtesy.
- Include a link to their blog. That’s also common courtesy — if you can figure out how to do it.
- Next, select 15 blogs/bloggers that you’ve recently discovered or follow regularly. ( I would add, pick blogs or bloggers that are excellent!)
- Nominate those 15 bloggers for the Versatile Blogger Award — you might include a link to this site.
- Finally, tell the person who nominated you 7 things about yourself.
Before I type up the nominations, I will reveal a few things about myself –
1. I have a green thumb. More indoors than out, due to allergies, which leads me to ….
2. I am allergic to lots of stuff – mold, grass, pollen – I will not bore you with the whole list. Let me just say that if some of my work begins to read as if it is drug induced – Spring is coming and I live on antihistamines and decongestants.
3. I have two titanium plates and 48 titanium screws in my left arm – compliments of a bike crash while training for Ironman Wisconsin in July of 2006. I scared the bejeezus out of my boys, but they think my metal is cool. Apparently “mom packs serious metal”!
4. I have three bikes – one Trek hybrid, one Trek aluminum road bike and an Aegus all-carbon fiber kick ass tri bike.
5. I have met some incredible people – Margot Fonteyn, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Johnny Bench, Bob Hope, Ryan Reynolds – yes, I saw his six-pack in person. Wowzers! Amazing!
6. I have been fortunate to attend the World Ironman Championships in Kona, Hawaii two times. Let me just say one word – Inspiring!
7. If I get the chance to live another life after this one, I want to come back as a swan. Yes, I love swans – Swan Lake – fave ballet, fave music. The Dying Swan, Anna Pavlova,…………
