Sarah over at
The Student Knitter nominated me for the Beautiful Blogger award and Lisa at
Molto di Moda Designs was the blogger who let me know about the nomination. It's a good thing, too. I read Sarah's blog, but honestly I wouldn't have paid close attention to her nominees because I
never get chosen for this sort of thing. I am thrilled! SQUEEEE doesn't even begin to cover it.
ETA: I just found out that Allison at Dominant Hands also nominated me.
The rules are I have to give 10 little known facts about myself and then nominate 10 people for the award. I'm pretty sure after reading my list of facts, Sarah may wonder why she bothered nominating me, but here goes!
1. I don't have a filter. I almost always say exactly what I think and often end up with my foot in my mouth.
2. Because of this, there are very few "little known facts" about me. I let it all hang out.
3. I had my daughter at 19.
4. My grandfather was from Spain. He lived to be 100. I come from hearty stock. A fact Hubadub fears.
5. I was runner up at the school-wide spelling bee when I was in the 7th grade. I know, not the winner, but I'm still proud. Each class had had a spelling bee and I hadn't won the class bee either. I was runner up in the class. The class winner was conveniently absent the day of the school-wide bee and I had to take her place. Needless to say, I was completely unprepared and hadn't even looked at a word list. It came down to me and an eighth-grader. We both flubbed megalopolis. I went down on reversible. I never found out if the eighth grader showed up to the city wide spelling bee.
6. I like Spelling, language and words. I am the Scrabble Club sponsor at my school.
7. I went to Germany in high school and visited (then communist) East Germany and saw the Berlin Wall about a year before it came down. (And before "the Hoff" invaded.)
8. I'm the baby of the family. It sucks being the baby.
9. I love Little House on the Prairie. That and Quantum Leap are my guilty pleasures.
10. I still have the teddy bear that was given to me when I was 9 months old.
Now to the nominations (drum roll, please...)
