VERSATILE?? OKAY, I'LL PLAY

Thanks, Carrieboo from Carrie On Carrying On  who nominated me for a blog award.  She's passing on the Versatile Blogger/10Things You Didn't Know about Me prize.   I just came across Carrieboo a few weeks ago.  Her posts are full of humor and an interesting concoction of contemplations.


So in the spirit of bloggy disclosure--here is my list:

1.  Been blogging since September 7, 2008--535 posts.  That's why it's difficult for me to come up with something to reveal that I haven't already spilled or refuse to put in print.

2.  There were only eleven seniors in my high school graduating class.

3.  Because my school was so small they let me play basketball.  During one game I hit a girl in the head with the ball, knocking her out cold.  Thus I gained the nickname, "Killer."

4.  Like sandals but hate flip-flops.

5.  Made my future spouse jealous by dancing the polka with Julio.

6.  Been doing yoga for years so I can sit flat on the floor and touch my head to my knees; or do a headstand or a backbend; but I don't have enough balance to stand on one foot in tree pose.

7.  Have five children--three are redheads.

8.  Keep a shovel in my car because I get stuck in snow drifts.

9.  Get stuck in snow drifts because I stop in random places to take photographs.

10. My favorite number is The Golden Ratio---1.618  a.k.a. Phi.  Click here to find out why.
Another sample.
(The music is a little annoying in that last one but the video is good.)

I'm passing the award along to some super bloggers.


 I know this is a maniac time of year.
If you choose, just accept the award
and forget the list.

You are too funny Leenie or should I say Killer.
Thanks for the award I never know who to pass them on to as I love all my blogs so much and am afraid to forget someone, (a little phobia I have).So I usually just thank the person, in this case you, but I will write seven things about myself as soon as I get a chance. I really do appreciate it. Calving time again Yippee;)
I truly love your list we are so similar except for the 5 kids, the Killer name, and the small class, and the oh well you get the jist.:) B

As good as Julio could dance he couldn't hold a candle to DH. Never saw him again after that.
