Here are the rules for this award...
1) Thank the person who gave you this award.
2) Share 7 things about yourself.
3) Pass the award along to 5 bloggers who you have recently discovered and you think are fantastic!
4) Contact the bloggers you've picked and let them know about the award.
Here are 7 things about me:
1.) I am happily married to my high school sweetheart, but will frequently deny this vomitious fact and make up a story about meeting on a midnight train to Paris
2.) I love being forty-one and would not go back to that awkward twelve to thirty-five time of life for anything.
3.) I spend a small fortune on toys for my dogs even though their favorite pastimes are chasing birds and eating their own poop.
4.) I am a food snob and would never be caught in someplace like Chili's, unless I was bleeding to death and needed to use their phone to call an ambulance. And then I would wait for it outside thank you.
5.) I frequently embarrass hubby by talking in the voices I've made up for the dogs. In public.
6.) I am compulsive about a lot of things, but housecleaning isn't one of them. If you don't like cobwebs, don't look up.
7.) I love telling stories.
Here's five bloggers I love:
1.) http://www.mikelaprevost.wordpress.com/ -This gal has a fabulous collage style that I covet and is hilarious to boot.
2.) http://www.ilikemargarine.wordpress.com -Again hilarious-are you sensing a theme?
3.) http://breadwig.blogspot.com/ -I wish I had a tenth of the creativity this guy has just in his little finger.
4.) http://davidhohn.blogspot.com/ -I know, he's too good. And what's worse, he's funny too.
5.) http://susanogilviestudiolife.blogspot.com -I don't actually know Susan, but I love her landscapes. Yes, that's right I love landscapes. Good ones. Like these.
Congratulations on this prestigious honor! The juxtaposition of "eating their own poop" and "food snob" alone would be more than enough for such an honor. But seriously, your post about finding things and painting them remains one of the best things I've read in a long, long time. The fact that we risked our health to chronicle a pink flop-flop in the wilderness is testament to your skills.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nod. "Hilarious" easily surpasses the highest praise I had received previously -- something along the lines of "what is this crap anyhow?"
And I must admit that I embarrass my spouse by talking in the voices I've made up for my wife. But never in public.
Post more often, eh? The Internet is running out of stuff! Congrats again!!!!
Awww, gee whiz, thanks Laura! And congrats on the awesome honor from the awesome Marion! I wish I had one tenth the artistic ability and warmth and character that you have as an artist.
