A Blogging Award? For Me?

Well, I guess I'm doing something right out here in the blogging world because pal Cathy C. Hall has awarded me The Stylish Blogger Award. (Apparently, Cathy has never actually seen me because stylish I am not.) But thank you, Cathy! Really! 

 

Now I have to link to the person who gave me the award. (See Ms. Cathy C above.) Next, I have to pass the award along to another deserving blogger or two (this is easy - Stacy and Arlene!) and congratulate them - I'll do that when I'm done here. And, lastly, I have to share seven things about myself. Here goes...

1) My two favorite books are A Tree Grows in Brooklyn and The Stand.

2) When I actually met Stephen King, I acted like a complete dork.

3) One of my favorite TV shows is Law & Order: SVU and when I found out the two main characters/actors were changing roles and leaving, I just about cried. (See above:  Dork. Big dork.)

4) I don't lend out books. (If I loved a book, I will give it to you as a gift or tell you about it so you can go get your own copy.)

5) One of my guilty pleasures is Hamburger Helper. (Yeah, I know.)

6) My husband proposed to me while we were riding in a horse drawn carriage.   

7) As a kid, I used to put on magic shows for my parents and grandparents, and I would make my sister hide under the table so she could lift it and make it look like it was levitating. (Of course, it barely left the ground and when it did, it was crooked but she tried. She tried.)

My First Blogging Award!

Whoo-hoo, my first blogging award! Thanks, Stacy!

Now, although I don't have to wear high heels to accept this Happy 101 Award, I do have homework: come up with a list of 10 happy thoughts. (If only all my homework had been this easy...)

So many to choose from...here goes:

1) My husband/best friend

2) Walking on the beach, searching for shells

3) Reading something that yanks me in and won't let go

4) Writing something that yanks me/readers in and won't let go

5) Watching the tortoises roam around the courtyard (it's safe for them, don't worry!)

6) Yellow daisies in a purple glass vase

7) When my little nephew says, "I love you, Aunt Maddie."

8) A hot, sweet-scented bubble bath followed by the softest pajamas ever

9) My name next to a story I'm particularly proud of writing

10) The sound of my husband laughing so hard he cries

What a wonderful way to start a Friday! Here's to a great weekend everyone!
