Thanks go to Suzanne Leist for sending this award to me. She has a wonderful blog at http://susanneleist.wordpress.com and it is actually versatile. My site is merely a space for uncompromising goofiness and idiocy in prose and pictures. I don’t know if that qualifies as versatile or not. As you can see by this post, I am not very far along in the process yet. I have to choose bloggers to pass it on to. Soon! I promise. Soon!
Here are the rules-for-awarding:
- Display the award on your blog
- Announce your win with a post and thank the blogger who nominated you.
- Present 15 deserving bloggers with the award.
- Link your nominees in the post and let them know of their nomination with a comment.
- Post seven things about yourself.
Seven things about me;
1. I am a published author, even though I only make about 16 dollars a year on my books so far. I have written Aeroquest, Catch a Falling Star, and hopefully will soon be publishing Snow Babies, and Superchicken.
2. I have been an English teacher in Texas public schools for 31 years and retired for the first time this last May.
3. I taught sixth, seventh and eighth graders for 24 of those 31, so that explains the goofiness.
4. I was Ruben’s, Pablo’s, Sofie’s, and Ahmed’s favorite teacher. (At least, that’s what they told me. Who knows what they were buttering me up for?)
5. I love the St. Louis Cardinals’ baseball team. (And I still love Albert Pujols, even though they tell me I’m not supposed to like him any more.)
6. I was born in Iowa during a blizzard.
7. I frequently have deja vu experiences because I have vivid dreams sometimes that come true years and even decades later (though the events rarely turn out to mean what I thought they meant when I dreamed them.)
I promise I will nominate 15 bloggers. Have I ever broken a promise? (Wait, don’t answer that!)
