Hurray for Mondays and Bloggerly Love!




Good morning space cadets. :)  It's a glorious Monday and four days till the weekend, at least for me.

FRIENDLY REMINDER.  IF YOU'RE FOLLOWING ME BUT I'M NOT FOLLOWING YOU, IT'S BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOUR BLOG OR SITE IT.  SEND ME AN EMAIL OR LEAVE ME A COMMENT PLEASE.  I HATE NOT FOLLOWING MY FOLLOWERS.


I thought I would start this day by mentioning the above seal.  I became a campaigner last week and didn't post the seal until today.  Figured this would make it more of a last minute reminder.  So hurry up and join Rachael Harrie at Rach Writes to get to know more fabulous blogs and fantastic writers.


Also, I have received this:


AND



These awards came fromValentina Hepburn over at Letters from Valentina.  Isn't that an great name...like an exotic actress who takes time to stir her pasta while hunky guy fans her with a fan made of feathers.  :) Stop by and say hi to her, Suzy, and Lily.


I guess this means I have to pass these on.


Here are the rules.


Thank and link to the person who nominates you...check.
Share seven random facts about you.
Pass award to 5 new found blogging friends.
Contact and congratulate the awarded Blogeroos.


What the heck can I tell you guys that you don't already know?


1.  I enjoy having spooky nightmares because in them I usually see myself beating up on the villain.


2.  I grew up in Florida but after years of watching sharkweek I'm scared each time I go swimming in the ocean.  Dipping my toes is cool though.  I'm also alergic to crustaceans.


3.  I'd rather be stuck in a petting zoo for hours than at a party.


4.  I like red wine and dark chocolate.


5.  I'm a naturalist...see myself connected to all of nature....that made Avatar the best movie ever.


6.  I love every single type of bread there is, and I don't eat any of them often...they'd be stuck to my ass if I did.  (What, that word is in the Bible.)


7.  I collect angels...so I always wanted to have a sunroom with angels, a pond with a makeshift waterfall, and in the center a pretty bench with a harp.  It's the place I disappear to when I'm meditating.  All things are real in my mind.


Now, passing these babies on to five lucky appreciated bloggers that I have not targetted before but have come around to make my day. 


NEW PEOPLE


1. Libby Heily.  She's funny, has one heck of a muse, and I find her writing extremely entertaining.  She also reminds me of one of my nieces.  Go say  hi to Libby.  http://libbyheily.blogspot.com


2. Jeff King.  He's a great writer.  So far his story seems pretty intense.  Like many of us, he'd love to to this stuff for a living.  Go pay him a visit.  http://authorsunion.blogspot.com


3. Jessica.  She's 14, and wow does she have an amazing imagination.  Check out her blog, especially that poem she wrote on Saturday.  http://writeskatedream-jmckendry.blogspot.com

4. Danette.  She's got that wandering mind, dreams of a place at the end of the world.  Hmm, I think we've been dreaming of the same place.  Check her out.  http://conch-to-be.blogspot.com/

5. Prerna.  She writes Paranormal Romance.  Well me too, when I'm not neck deep in Fantasy.  I just met her through the Campaign and would like to know more about her.  Go say hi.  http://prernapickett.blogspot.com

Now that will be all Bloggeroos.  Know that I love you all, but I can't pass on these awards to everybody.  I'd be here for weeks.  Have an awesome day!  ....^-^....

    I enjoyed your random facts about yourself.

    I try to follow everyone who follows me, but sometimes when I click on their image, I can't find them. Sometimes, if there is a name, I google them along with the word 'blogger' and I can track them down. But there have been several I haven't been able to find. Also sometimes I go to a site and try to follow, but there is no way to do so. Usually I just need to sign into my account. Once I've done that, I can find the follow link at the top of the page... even if I still don't see a follow button farther down on the page.

    Congrats on the awards, it's always interesting to read factoids. I share your fear of the ocean. Last time we were at the beach I refused to get in the water... and stood on the shore with my cell phone in hand, ready to dial 911 should Jaws arrive. I don't even trust the sand. It's all a promise of the death that awaits me there.

    Hello from another Campaigner!

    Mmmm... Bread. I love bread, especially anything crusty or flaky.

    Thanks for sharing some information about yourself. Always neat to get to know people online a bit more as "people" rather than bits and bytes.

    Congratulations on the awards! :)

    Whenever I have spooky nightmares I usually just end up running away from the villain . . . or hiding from them. :P

    Congratulations on the awards. I'm doing the Campaign too. I'm excited and a bit nervous!

    I never consider my dreams nightmares, but others might. I'm like you in that I always fight the monsters. I've always had dreams of haunted houses full of them ever since I was little.

    I enjoy petting zoos better than parties as well. LOL.

    I'm trying to get on that campaign but every time I go to fill out the form it won't submit!

    Thank you everyone for stopping by. I adore your comments. However, I'm sicker than a dog, caught a cold....feels like I'm dying. You'll forgive me if I didn't hang around for very long, but I did make a blog sweep today. Have a great day! :)

    Sorry you're ill. I guess that means you won't be eating that delicious looking strawberry cake, then.

    Red wine and dark chocolate? A woman after my own heart. And they are chock full of antioxidants, so you're protecting your health, too! Although they might make you more tasty to sharks, so good thing we're landlocked.
