Blogger Award!

Paige at The Turning of the Paige nominated me this week for the Versitle Blogger Award!  Paige is one week ahead of me in pregnancy, and an amazing woman whose journey to motherhood is nothing short of inspirational - thanks for the nomination, Paige!

Now here are the rules to those who I award the Versatile Blogger Award to;

The Rules:
•thank and link back to the person nice enough to give you the award
•share seven things about yourself
•pass the award along to seven other bloggers who you think are fabulous
•contact the bloggers you chose and let them know about the award

In addition to feeling icky this week, I've been thinking about my 7 things about me list.  Which led me to think about this blog - some of the readers are friends who have known me for years, but most of you you only know me through this blog or a discussion board, and yet I've shared my deepest and darkest moments and my happiest moments with you all, and felt supported and loved as I did so, and in turn hopefully have lent a little support during your hard moments and joyful ones, too.  I feel like I *know* a lot of you, even though I don't really know the details of your lives outside of what's posted on the blog world the way your friends in real life do.  So I really like the idea of this award making me share a little more about myself.  But I'm still having a hard time coming up with the 7 and making them non-pregnancy related.  :)

Seven Things About Me:

1)  I'm left handed, but I use scissors with my right hand, and can never decide which hand I want to bowl with.  Not that I go bowling a lot, but when I do, I get confused.

2)  I met one my best friends (and a lot more really good friends) at a romance author's discussion board over 6 8 years ago.

3)  The only continent I haven't been to is Australia.

4)  At the start of my Inca Trail trip with Mindy a few years ago, we were mugged at gunpoint in Cuzco.  They got our cash, our cameras and our credit cards, but we still hiked the Trail anyway!

5)  I've run 5 half marathons, two of them dressed up as Sleeping Beauty.  I'm a really slow and horrible runner, so I'll never run a full marathon, because it would probably take me all day.

6)  My favorite foods are dark chocolate, candy corn, goat cheese, pasta with red sauce, apple pie with vanilla ice cream and red wine. Not necessarily all at the same time.

7)  I hate strawberries.

And a bonus, pregnancy related - 8)  I had an egg and cheese biscuit with sweet tea from Bojangles for breakfast and dinner yesterday. The only reason I'm not having it again tonight is because I'm too lazy to get off the couch.

And here are my nominations - it was hard to pick just seven, so I picked a few I've followed and loved for a while, and few new blogs that I'm really just starting to enjoy.
