Award

Honey over at Stories to Share gave me the Kreative Blogger award.  Thanks Honey!  She’s a great blogger who got the inspiration for her novel from living in South America for a few years.  Go check her out!

What’s your favorite song?

It’s hard to pick a favorite.  I don’t listen to music near as much as I used to.  With two kids I much prefer silence if I ever get the opportunity, and if I listen to anything it’s an audiobook. 

What’s your favorite dessert?

Again it’s hard to choose.  I’m a mood eater so it depends, but this cake comes pretty darn close to being my favorite in any mood. 

What do you do when you’re upset? 

Well, if I’m seriously upset, I find somewhere I can be alone.  I rant and cry a little, then pray a lot. 

What’s your favorite pet?

I’m not much of a pet person.  We have a cat and fish.

Which do you prefer, black or white?

Gray.  Definitely gray. I once crocheted a gray baby blanket.  It was a beautiful color. A nice heather gray. Everyone thought it was really weird to have a gray baby blanket.  *shrug* I love it. 

What is your biggest fear?

Losing my family.    

What is your attitude mostly?

I worry and stress a lot. 

Ten random things about me:

I’m pretty scared of ticks and cockroaches.  Good thing I live in Georgia. 

I was born in Seattle so I’ve lived on both coasts of the US. (All right, I’m 3 hours away from the coast here but it’s still pretty close)

I used to work in a floral shop.  One of my favorite things about working there was getting to experiment with different color combinations. 

I love to quilt.  I do it by hand but I don’t use patterns. I like to make up my own pictures to put on the quilt.

There was someone with my same exact first and last name at college.  We even grew up in the same state.  OK, my name wasn’t that unique so it’s not shocking.  What is shocking is that I once went on a date with someone who thought he was going out with the other one of us. 

Our dishwasher broke and I have to wash all the dishes by hand until the new part comes in.  You know what?  I don’t mind.  I’ve always thought washing dishes was a very relaxing occupation.  Until the kids start arguing anyway.  In fact, I was washing dishes when I got the idea for my current WIP.

All right so that’s not really ten things but it’s all I’ve got at the moment and I need to get back to work.  Anybody who wants this award can take it, or just tell me something about yourself in the comments.
