I saw this little concept floating around the bloggosphere, and thought it would be a great way to promote some of my favorite blogs!
How does this award work?!?
1. Display the Award Certificate (the image) on your website (Or create your own!)
2. Announce your win with a post and link to whoever presented your award (Ok no one presented me with one, but I figured it has to start somewhere!)
3. Present 15 awards to deserving bloggers that you like to read…
4. Drop them a comment to tip them off after you’ve linked them in the post.
5. Post 7 interesting things about yourself
My nominees for the Beautiful Blogger Award:
Drum roll…

And now for the 7 interesting things about me part….
Hmmm. This is a hard one as I seldom allow myself to publish things about my personal self and my intimate life on here (although I did make a few exceptions in 2012 for my wedding to Chéri) so this makes me feel like I am going a bit out on a limb. Not that there is anything compromising here!!! LOL!
1. I come from a large family.
I have 8 siblings.
Yep.
That means there are nine of us. I think that also means we could probably start our own baseball team.
But, we would rather just cheer for the Red Sox, mostly.
2. I have a twin sister.
We are non-identical. But we look quite similar sometimes. Our voices sound alike!
3. I am classically trained in ballet.
I know the dance of the Sugarplum Fairy, and I am not afraid to use it!
For the dying swan dance which is a much more difficult piece, I just fake it, and with humor. My own invention of “modern” dance if-you-will.
4. I vote Democrat
But am a registered Independent.
5. I am very dairy-intolerant.
But many of you know that already.
6. I have done three road trips across the United States.
Before cel phones, laptops and wifi were something that everybody had. We used paper maps!
*GASP!*
Once on a greyhound bus from East to West.
Once halfway in a jeep and halfway in a Greyhound bus form West to East.
And a third time in a Ford Tempo I owned, West to East, and I was in shock when I made it across.
I was practically my own version of Dean Moriarty.
7. I grew up without a TV.
And I am better off for it.
This caused the participation levels to drop dramatically, and other than me, Chéri and Lauren Cashwell, I had just a couple of participants. But lucky for us, they were some enthusiastic and très easy-going people. We decided to ditch the race for lack of participants and just picnic and paddle around the lake. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, and we hadn’t a care in the world!
