Reality Blog Award

Donna Co reality-award1 e-Velleman nominated my blog for the Reality Award. I feel so special. 🙂

Thank you, Donna.

Here are the rules for The Reality Award :

1. Show appreciation of the blogger who nominated you and link back to them in your post.

– Happily DONE!

2. Add the award logo to your blog.

– Done!

3. Share 7 things about yourself.

– Done! (below)

4. Nominate 5 – 10 or so bloggers you admire.

– oh my. There are so many bloggers I admire but I’m never sure if I should pull them into something. I will nominate bloggers privately and if they accept, I will post them here. Surely the rules can be tweaked this way?

5. Contact your chosen bloggers to let them know.

-Easy peasy! Will do.

So, drum roll… because you are all just itching to know my secrets… here are seven facts about me:

1) I’m a lefty when it comes to writing, but can do just about everything else with both hands – ha, let that sink into your imagination. I do write romance, after all.

2) There are two things I simply CANNOT do with my left hand, yet do well with my right – eat soup/cereal and play air hockey. Yeah. I know. Strange, isn’t it?

3) I love to bake and am into cake decorating.

4) My dream car is a red Mustang – I’m really not picky on the year. It can be a 1967 or it can be a 2013. One day, one of those beauties will be sitting in my driveway and I will be holding the keys.

5) I am an impatient learner, wishing to ‘know’ instead of ‘learn’.

6) I am terrified of anything that……. scurries. (That should be 6a, while 6b should be that even the word ‘scurries’ gives me the willies).

7) I’m allergic to tree nuts, strawberries and… are you sitting? ….chocolate.

There. Your life is complete now that you have learned seven little things about this Gemini. Oh. Ha! Make that eight!

You’re welcome, sweetie.

Oh no, not chocolate!!!!!! I’ve seen some of your cake decorating samples on FB. They are beautiful. My mother used to do cake decorating and I know how hard it can be. You need such a steady hand.

Now that we know something about you go post some more. lol : ) Please.

Thank you, Donna! I bake cookies for all the neighbors during the holidays so I backed off the cakes for a while. I’m thinking it’s time to get back to decorating them. It’s really a lot of fun – a lot of work, too, though. Mainly because of the cleanup. But… yum! 🙂

Wow, Deb. We have some critical commonalities. I’m a leftie, but ambidextrous until I was in middle school. I also can only use scissors with my right hand. Sadly, I’m allergic to chocolate too…such a crime!

Look forward to seeing that Mustang in your front drive one day soon.

Seriously?! You’re a leftie AND you’re allergic to chocolate? Is anyone else in your family a leftie? Except for one cousin, I am the only one – I’m also the only one with allergies. You wouldn’t happen to be a Gemini as well, would you? 😉

I used to do a lot of cake decorating when my kids were young, somehow, I’ve let it fall by the wayside. I miss it (but my waistline doesn’t!)
Enjoyed your list! 🙂

Oh, Deb, if you’re interested in getting back into it, I’m looking for a course partner. 🙂 I’ve taken the first two levels of Wilton Classes at the local Michael’s craft store. If you ever consider signing up for them, let me know. I’m eager to take levels 3 and 4. (We’ll bake for LIRW meetings so our waistlines don’t suffer too much. ;-))

Your blog is great! Can I have all the chocolate meant for you?

Debora Dale on January 20, 2013 at 9:11 pm

Thank you beautiful lady! And yes, you can have all of my chocolate! BUT… I get to smell it first. lol. I can’t eat it – I don’t even know what it tastes like – but I get my fix from that amazing aroma. Whenever anyone gets chocolate here, they always pass it by me first. I take a whiff and pass it on. I’m so easy. Did I just reveal Debora Fact #9?! 😀
