One Lovely Blog Award

 

A couple of weeks ago, a blog hop for the One Lovely Blog was going around and I was nominated by two lovely ladies, CJ and then Jess. Both of which I met through my writer’s group earlier this year. (If you are not a part of a writing community and you are a writer, please, please join one. More on that later…. in another post… hopefully…)

Anyways. Both are fellow writers, obviously, having met in a writing group,  but their blogs aren’t strictly about writing. CJ’s blog, DYSBWriting, inspires us with her positive attitude and stories about the things she enjoys in life. She has been an inspiration with her 365 days of writing and I wish I was better like her at keeping to it every day. Jessica over at The Lunatic, the Lover, and the Poet, she’s just a hoot.  She writes beautiful poetry and is working on a YA fantasy novel at the moment. Go check out these ladies blogs. Go on. I’ll wait… See, they are both great! 🙂

Now, I find that I am terrible at these types of posts because, well, I get all self-conscious and finger tied (my version on tongue-tied but on the computer) so I will keep my post short and sweet as to not embarrass myself.

So on to the rules;

1. Say thank you to the person {or persons} who nominated you. Done.
2. Share 7 things about myself. Crap.
3. Nominate other people for this is a blog hop. Well now. ~~How about I just share with you some of my favorite bloggers instead. If they want to pass on the award, they can. If not, no harm no foul.

 

Seven things about me… Just a warning, I am kind of boring.

1. I am a terrible comment-er. Example, when leaving a comment on a fellow blogger or replying to a comment made on my own site…. I freeze up and end up not saying anything. Or just say a simple Thanks… because I am lame.

2. I recently found out that I have astigmatism. Told you that I was lame.

3. I have a fear of teeth. Seriously. They freak me out. -And there is not a technical term for this fear, I already looked. The closest “official” phobia is called Odontophobia. Which is not what I have, dentists do not bother me at all. It is the actual teeth themselves. The wiggling, and coming out, and the fleshy gums, just blech. I have goosebumps right now so moving on.

4. I love old things and learning about the history or story of the person connected to said old things.

5. My middle name is spelled incorrectly on my birth certificate per my mother. The nurse thought that my mom misspelled the name so the nurse corrected the spelling for her, without her consent. Oh, and I don’t share my middle name with people, very few people outside my family know what it is.

6. I am allergic to the guts of a tomato. Not the fruit itself, but the gooey stuff causes a reaction.

7. My favorite actor is James “Jimmy” Stewart. I mention this just because Jessica mentions that she is not a big fan of It’s a Wonderful Life.

 

See, told you that I was boring. Now on to the blogs that I really enjoy.

1. dlBradford over at redefining me, who blogs about juggling being new mom while writing, reading and working

2. Charli over at the Carrot Ranch Communications

3. Sarah at Are You Kidding Me?!

4. Geoff at TanGental

5. Lorelle Page at lorellepage,

6. H.M.Brooks at H.M.Brooks Writes

Check out the blogs above, I really enjoy what these people have to say. And it has also made me realize that I might need to broaden my horizon as far as the blogging world goes because each one is a fellow writer. Nah, writer’s are the best!!! 🙂
