One Lovely Blog

What a happy surprise!  A fellow blogger, FadedFairyTale, nominated me for a blog award.

7/30/2012 — Another nomination.  Thank you Parentista for the nomination.  I am so appreciative to have bloggers who read and like my posts. I am combining my nomination posts since I don’t have any new insights about myself to add. I did have one new hot blog to share, so I updated my blog nominations. See the list below.

There are some rules that go with the nomination:

1. Thank the blogger who nominated you with a link to the site. (see above)
2. Write seven things about yourself that other bloggers don’t know.
3. Nominate fifteen other deserving blogs.

Seven things about myself:

1. Eating Altoids makes me sneeze.
2. I let my children watch TV, so I can read (mostly juvenile literature).
3. I recently learned how to make pasta from scratch. And, yes, it is far superior to pasta from the box.
4. I love spreadsheets, tables, lists, file systems, etc.
5. My dining room table is overflowing with mail and in-progress projects. My husband wants to know why I insist on having a dining room in any house we own since we never eat at that table. DUH– where else will all my project supplies go?
6. I love junky Mexican restaurants and margaritas (frozen, no salt).
7. I let my children eat Fritos, crackers, whatever is in the pantry for breakfast as long as they fix it themselves.

(Almost) 15 blog nominations:
