I have been remiss in my posting. I was nominated for two wonderful awards.

          

The clever, and lovable Robert “Chazz” Chute awarded me the Fabulous Blog Ribbon. Isn’t it pretty?

Thanks so much Chazz. I’ve had a lot of chuckles from your posts.

Here’s how it works. I tell you 5 fabulous moments, five things I love and 5 things I hate, and then I nominate 5 friends.

And Annie from the entertaining Chompasaurus Reviews nominated me for The Versatile Blogger Award.

Many thanks Annie. I love it! I may not always comment on your blog, but I always pop in!

For this award you tell seven things about yourself and nominate seven friends.

I took the liberty of combining these two awards and my answers should cover all of the requirements.

Five fabulous moments:

1) Top of my list is my son. Finding out I was pregnant was thrilling, seeing his face for the first time was pure bliss, and sharing the last 17 years with him as been my greatest joy! Can’t wait to see where we go next.

2) My mother coming to visit. She is my best friend and an angel on earth. We have so much fun doing just the tiniest little things, like going to Walmart or playing cards. It is all so much better when she is with me.

3) Moving to Alabama. I moved here 26 years ago and never looked back. The gulf coast is beautiful and the people are welcoming. I feel like I have always lived here.

4) Starting my blog. It has been the adventure of a lifetime. Meeting all of the wonderful book lovers and discovering so many great books. I am humbled that people actually want to read what I have to say.

5) Getting my Kindle! I now can carry around so many books. It is lightweight and fits in my purse. Whenever I want I can plug into a book and start reading, anywhere. What’s not to love?

Five things I love:

1) My home. I love how cozy and inviting it is, like a nest. Having the pool out back and satellite TV with Netflix, I never really have to go anywhere to escape and relax.

2) Books! And more books! I have always loved reading, and can’t ever find enough time!

3) Mornings. I love getting up at dawn, grabbing a cup of coffee and reading for a while. The house is quiet and I am so relaxed.

4) Lawnmowers. I know, it’s weird. But, I love the sound of a lawnmower. It is soothing and I love the smell of fresh-cut grass.

5) Nature. I love nature and revel in its beauty and diversity. Even the tiniest insect has an allure. Pick a blade of grass, pick another, each is unique. What a wonderful world.

Five things I hate:

1) I hate the word hate. It is ugly sounding and leaves a bad taste in my mouth, but it has its moments.

2) Prejudice. We all suffer from this whether in small things or large.

3) Commercials. There are so many inane ones and I hate that the volume always goes up during one. I thought they were going to stop doing that!

4) I hate being the last one to enter a room. Everyone looks at me and it makes me feel self-conscious and on display. Never grew out of it.

5) Rush hour. Even here in the south there is rush hour. So many rude, dangerous drivers out there. They need to slow down, be considerate and put away their cellphones. So many times, I get behind someone using their cellphone. They speed up and slow down and wander all over the road. I consider myself lucky to not get in an accident because of this!

Well, that’s a wrap. It;s been fun.

Now for the nominees!
