First, I'd Like to Thank The Academy...

Guess what, Singletons and Marrieds?!? I received an award!  Well, actually, the blog received an award... but, still!  So excited to accept a "Versatile Blogger" award from Jenny, Exiled, my fellow bloggerista who share stories of media, motherhood and misadventures.  Click on her link, you'll love it.

There are some rules (as with life) in accepting such an honor in the blog world, and if I nominate you, they're below.  Of course, no one is going to hunt you down if you don't follow them to a 't,' but a shout-out would be fantastic.  You know, a shout-out with a hyperlink.  Now it's my turn to make good on the rules.

Nominate Fifteen Four Blogs

• Always a Drunk, Never a Bride - I literally LOL at this blog.  You will not be disappointed.
• Rambles, Rants, and Refreshing Recollections - a refreshing tale of honestly finding your way in this life.  And she correctly uses an Oxford comma in her title, so I couldn't resist.
• Hyperbole and a Half - quite possibly one of the funniest things I've ever read... every single time she posts.
• Seraphic Singles - whenever I need a jolt back to moral reality, I take a gander at this very well-written blog by author, Dorothy Cummings.  

Seven Things About Me (that you probably didn't know)

• Tiramisu is my favorite dessert.
• I am addicted to make-up.  I can't walk by a cosmetics counter without coaching myself out of the situation.
• I have only received flowers from three men in my entire life:  my boss for a job well done (get your mind out of the gutter), my father and one of my best friends.  I'm hoping that statistic changes soon!
• I have never been further west than Birmingham, Alabama.
• I have gone down four pants sizes in eight months.
• I have to watch any Harry Potter movie if they come on television, regardless of how many times I may have seen it.
• "Pride and Prejudice" is my favorite book of all time, and I have lost count of how many times I've read it.

The Rules

If you are nominated, you've been awarded the Versatile Blogger award.

• Thank the person who gave you this award.  That's common courtesy.
• Include a link to their blog.  That's also common courtesy.
• Next, select 15 (or in my case, a feeble five) blogs/bloggers that you've recently discovered or follow regularly.  
• Nominate those bloggers for the Versatile Blogger Award - you might include a link to this site.
• Finally, tell the person who nominated you 7 things about yourself.
