Very Inspiring Blogger Award

Or am I chosen to be honored?  Yes to both.  I’ve just been nominated by caitlinsternwrites for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award.  What a compliment that is!  Caitlin, too, has been nominated for the award, (You should check out her blog–it’s excellent!) and the rules for accepting the award require that I:

1. Thank the blogger who nominated me.  (Thank you again, Caitlin)
2. Place the award on my site.
3. Share 7 random things about myself.
4. Nominate 15 blogs. Let them know they’ve been nominated and how to accept the award.

So here goes with item 3.

1. My wingspan is greater than my height
2. I once had the nickname “Corky” for two weeks (at Girl Scout Camp)
3. I can (and do) eat an entire pan of Rice Krispie cookies in a day
4. I received this Very Inspiring Blogger award on my birthday  🙂
5. I have recently developed a taste for pickled eggs (I have recipes…)
6. I’m a pushover for beards  (but only on men)
7. I was once abducted by Aliens  (okay, I just made that up, but if only it were true it would help explain so many things…)

Item 4 is a little tougher.  I don’t know that I’ll manage 15 blogs, but I’ll have a go.  Some I read often, some occasionally, but I enjoy them all.

• A Lighter Shade of Grey
• A Nine Pound Hammer, or a Woman Like You
• Badger’s Tree Change
• Die Gum Sarn, Big Gold Mountain
• Gapingwhole
• Seeing Clarely
• Soulsby Farm
• The Loneliest Planet
• Throw Grammar from the Train
• widdershins
• Sugarlump
• ipledgeafallegiance
• fiftyfourandahalf
• girlonthecontrary

I hope you take time to check out these great bloggers.  There really are too many to name, but it’s a start!  And thanks again to Caitlin for giving me the nod.            MM
