Let me say a special thank you to my blogger friend Zen of zenscribbles who graciously nominated me for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award. Zen is a writer and a foodie (usually desserts). She tells quirky stories which keep life interesting. Please take a moment to visit her blog.
Accepting the nomination includes the following:
- Thank the person who nominated you
- Post the award some where on your blog
- Tell 7 things about yourself
- Nominate 7 blogs
So onto the hardest part … 7 things about me … that I haven’t already told you:
- I squint a lot. Not because I can’t see but because I’m thinking. Squinting makes me think of the TV show Bones in which they call the super smart people who work at the Jeffersonian “squints”. Oh not to imply that I think that I am super smart.
- I am obsessed with using imdb.com. I can’t watch anything without looking up the entire cast. It shouldn’t matter but I just need to see who they are and what they’ve done before.
- My husband says I snore but I deny it (vehemently) even though I’ve woken myself out of sound sleep before. (Please don’t tell my husband I said that. He’ll consider it an admission of guilt.)
- I am a horrid housekeeper, decent cook, and SUPER wife and mother. Well maybe SUPER is an exaggeration so I’ll go with super.
- I can read in the car and feel sorry for people who get motion sickness when they try to do it.
- I got my driver’s license late in life (I was 20) and I barely passed. Why do you need to know how to parallel park? Anyway, I think my driving is indicative of the “barely”. Oh but I wasn’t driving during the Chicago fender bender (just saying).
- My kids have started asking for cereal for dinner. And I don’t have a defense to say no since it’s usually my dinner choice. Did I claim “super” mom-ness? Oh well.
Forgive me for the short list of nominees …
- Britt at A Physical Perspective
- Dianne at Dianne Gray
- Grace at Tasty Adventures
- Sylvee at Sly with Sass
- Laura at As Time Goes Buy
Thanks again Zen!

Hey Gail! I finally got around to accepting the award…thanks again! : )

Congrats to you. I love reading your blog.
Thanks and ditto.
Congrats! Looking forward to checking out your picks!! 🙂
Thank you!
You’re welcome! It’s much deserved. And I’m envious of you for being able to read without getting motion sickness! I can read for a few minutes, but any longer than that and I start to feel queasy.
Sorry. I wouldn’t enjoy long car rides without a book or my journal but I know it isn’t possible for everyone. Thanks again.
Congratulations!
Well done and thank you for nominating me. 🙂
I’m honoured that you thought of me *actually beaming from ear to ear*
Cheers,
Laura
Thanks and congrats. It must have been all the shoes recently. They speak to me. Enjoy.
Yes, I noticed that. 🙂
It is something we have in common!
Congratulations! You really deserve this – and thank you so much for the nomination!!!
We’re exactly the same in 3, 4 & 5 (but don’t tell my husband that!) 😀
I’ll be checking out the other nominees now 🙂
Thank you. Congrats to you. Enjoy. Looks like we have a lot in common and I’ll keep your secret if you keep mine. LOL.
Congrats and thanks for the nomination 🙂
Thanks and congrats to you.
Congrats! 🙂
Thank you. And thanks for stopping by.
Congrats and thanks for the nomination! I’m so with you on #2 up there. Do you look at the IMDB trivia, too? That’s my obsession. : )
Thanks and congrats to you. I don’t use the trivia but I am sure it would be dangerous for me to start. What is the obsession we have with “famous” people? Oh well. There are worst things.
Yes, the trivia can be quite dangerous…dangerously fun! It’s good to have some guilty pleasures though. : )
congrats
Thank you.
Congrats – and thanks for the pity. I get REALLY carsick if I try to read – but, amazingly, I can do crosswords in the car all day long. Go figure. 🙂
Thank you. How is are crosswords different than reading? At least you have something to do on road trips
I have crossword books in the car, at home, at work…y’know, if I knew why they don’t make me sick and reading does, I think I’d write a book and become rich and famous. 🙂 I guess maybe it’s because I do have something to keep my mind busy, busier than just reading. Or it could just be that I’m different. 🙂
Nothing wrong with different. Thankfully, we all are unique and it keeps life fun.
yah . . . as my late husband used to say, “If two people are exactly alike, one is unnecessary.” He was very wise. 🙂
Very wise man indeed!
Congrats! You deserve it! ❤
Thank you so much!
