Award Friday

I am the worst at doing these award posts. Some of these I've had for a long time. I'm sorry I took so long to do a post about them. I just get so nervous picking people to pass them on to. I'm always afraid I'll leave someone out. And I'm sure there is someone out there who slipped through and didn't make it on this list. If you've given me an award and I missed you, please let me know.

I pass this one to:

Shrinky at Shrink Wrapped Scream
Julie at A Day in the Wife

I’m cheating and lumping all the “things about myself” for these three awards into one, so here it is. 5-7 things about myself:

1. I recently discovered that sometime in the last fourteen years I grew an inch and a half, and I am now a very tall 5’ 3”. I still need a step stool for a lot of things.

2. I am a master at procrastinating housework. Like loading the dishwasher. It takes maybe ten minutes, but I will put it off until the sink is overflowing.

3. I’ve gone back to school four different times, for four different degrees, but never finished. Maybe someday. :)

4. I love to eat lemons with salt. Bad for my teeth, but so yummy.

5. My very first car was a Buick Skyhawk with dolphins painted on the side, purchased with my own money, though the dolphins were a surprise from my dad.

6. The first piece of writing I ever got “published” was a poem I wrote in 10th grade titled “Down Yonder”. It was written as a joke and it was so very, very awful, but my English teacher loved it and put it in the annual school anthology. She also loved three-prong essays, so there you go. :)

7. The thing that excites me the most about living in Idaho is that I can grow bulb flowers here. I love tulips and hyacinths.

Silver Lining Award

Thanks to Tere Kirkland of the Lesser Key.

Just one rule: Pass the Silver Lining to 5 bloggers.

I pass this on to:

Michelle Gregory
Kristin at Kristin Creative
Susan Fields
Shannon at Book Dreaming
Patti Nielson

Quillfeather Award

Thank you, Nicole Ducleroir.

This award comes with the instructions to share with you how I like my eggs.

I like my eggs boiled and cut up on a piece of buttered toast with salt, like an open-faced egg sandwich. I know. I'm boring.
I pass this on to:

Stina Lindenblatt
Natalie Bahm

Bold Faced Liar "Creative Writer" Award

Thanks to Christine Danek and Jackee at Winded Words.

Here are the rules :

1. Thank the person who gave you the award and link to them.
2. Add the award to your blog
3. Tell six outrageous lies about yourself and One Truth.

5. Let your nominees know that they have been nominated.

I pass this on to:

Alex at My Muse is a Zombie
Tere at The Lesser Key
Sarah at Confessions of the Un-published
Aubrie at Flutey Words...
Courtney at Southern Princess
Roxy at A Woman's Write

Here's my list. Only one is true. Can you guess which one?

1. When I was sixteen, I was rollerblading at The Wedge, a skate park in Scottsdale, AZ. I lost my balance and hit a half wall, breaking my knee. I had to have surgery to repair it. Very painful.

2. I love to cheat at cards. I rarely lose.

3. I have this pasted to my bedroom wall. Everyone needs a vampire to watch over them at night.

4. The idea of dying an old maid terrified me, so I took the first opportunity that presented itself and got married at 19.

5. I posted yesterday about writing 3000 words on Wednesday with the hopes of not jinxing myself, only to spike a fever of 101 degrees shortly after hitting the publish button. I spent the rest of the day in bed.

6. When I was a kid, I spent every summer on the swim team and scored several blue ribbons.

7. I took five years of German in high school and college, earning all A’s. I now speak fluent German, even fooling some of the locals into believing I was German when I visited Germany three years ago.

Whew! That's it. If I've passed an award on to you, feel free to pass it on or just ignore it. It won't hurt my feelings, either way.

Have a great weekend!
