It's an honor just to be nominated . . .Wait, sorry, that's a different speech. So I'd like to say thank you to the Prairie Chicks and the Screaming O Blog for nominating my humble little blog for the Kreativ Blogger Award. I am feeling a little unworthy seeing as how I haven't been the most consistent blogger lately. Anyway, the rules are as follows: blog about 7 things about yourself that others might not know (and probably want to, discretion ladies, discretion) and nominate 7 other blogs. I'm not sure that I know of 7 other blogs that haven't already been nominated. I'm just that kind lazy, but I'm going to do my best. Here goes . . .
1. I love being a mom. I got pregnant with my daughter when I was 21 years old and I was a little worried about it. Having always been a very selfish person I wasn't sure if I could handle putting someone else first, but after giving birth to my beautiful little girl it seemed to come to me naturally. Being a mom is my favorite job ever, albeit not the easiest one.
2. I used to play the flute. I started playing the flute in the fourth grade but unfortunately gave it up during my misspent teenage years. A friend of mine started playing recently and I learned that I still know how to play the instrument even if I have forgotten how to read music.
3. I make really awesome salsa. My family & friends insist that I could sell it and make big bucks, but I'm not that ambitious. Yet.
4. I love to water ski. My Uncle Ronald taught me how to water ski when I was in elementary school and I love it. Now if I only owned a boat. . .
5. I spent most of the year I was 16 touring the west coast with a friend. We saw beautiful country and beaches. Oregon. If you haven't been, you're missing out.
6. I won $4,500 on the radio in 2003. One of the local radio stations, you know those fun contests where you enter online and if they call your name you win. I WON! How cool is that???
7. I'm not all that interesting. It took me nearly 20 minutes to come up with six items listed above. I'm pathetic and sad! :)
Okay, so my 7 nominees are the following:
Venus Vaughn - What Was I Thinking
Hayley Lavik - Eventide Unmasked
Murder She Writes
Maureen Child - History Day, every Monday
DeSeRt RoSe BoOkLoGuE
Jill Shalvis
and last, but not least . . .
Naughty and Spice Blog
Happy Tuesday everybody.
I don't blog very regular either, Erika. But it's cool that someone is thinking of you, huh? hehe
ReplyDeleteI would love to tour the west coast! I've never been, unless you count the time I was there when I was 1. But don't think that counts.
Btw-- I want to see that progress meter move on your WIP. *taps foot*
Kira, it's AWESOME that somebody thought of me! Thank you for thinking of me. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure seeing the west coast when you were 1 counts unless you remember it. Do you?
I'd like to see the progress on that meter move too! I actually have more than what's there, I just haven't taken it from my groovy little recorder thingy yet. ;) It's suppose to be my Sunday Snippet, which I haven't done yet either. Geez I'm a slacker!
Thank you kindly Erika. I'd better get cracking on my own follow-up before all my favourite bloggers are snatched up :)
ReplyDeleteWow, Erika, you have incredible luck! Winning the money from the radio show is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI agree with number one. As it happens, we had our first son when I was still 21. I love and still love being a mom!
Wooo Hooo! A blogging award :) Thank you, how fun. I feel like a kool kid.
ReplyDeleteI shall post my seven things soon, but I don't know if I can find seven new blogs to nominate ... you and the folks before you have already gotten a bunch of the ones I like.
And I wanna know the secret ingredient in your salsa because I've only ever met one salsa I liked, but maybe there are more out there.
almost done catching up - just wanted to drop you a note letting you know I stopped by. Congrats !
ReplyDeleteHayley, you are welcome. I love reading your posts.
ReplyDeleteSee Jen, we really are twins! I knew we could pull it off!
ReplyDeleteVenus, you are one of the COOLEST KIDS! Finding 7 blogs was tough. I doubled up on a couple that somebody else nominated, but ya know, a girls gotta do . . . :)
