As I was slaving over a hot stove preparing supper for the horde of hungry menfolk clamoring for food just outside my kitchen tonight (okay, okay, Seymour and the boys don’t exactly count as a horde of hungry men, but in a couple of years, I’m sure the boys alone will), I learned that my good friend Lindsey (whom I would like to thank profusely once again) had nominated me for the One Lovely Blog Award.  So, without further ado, ze rules:

• Include the blog award logo in your post – check
• Thank the person who nominated you – double check
• Provide seven random facts about yourself – check again (see below)
• Nominate seven other blogs and let them know – alrighty then!

The Facts, Ma’am, Just the Facts

• I have a terrible memory and it’s getting worse.  If I don’t write things down, I don’t remember them.  Unfortunately, sometimes I remember that I need to write something down, only to forget what that something was!

• I am terrible at thinking up book titles.  It always takes me forever to think up anything good.  I will probably have my current WIP nearly finished before I have a title for it at the rate I’m going.  I have no idea what to call it and I envy those people who seemingly have no trouble thinking up titles.
• One of my favorite movies is The Princess Bride.  It is a rare movie in that I’m actually not sure which I like better, the movie or the book.  Both are outstanding.  However, the book doesn’t have Cary Elwes. 😉
• I love football season, but not for football.  I love football season for marching band.  For me, it’s more like marching band season, with football being a sideshow attraction.  I despised marching band when I was younger and being forced to participate, but now that it’s no longer a part of my life, I miss it terribly.  Oh, hello, nostalgia, lovely to see you again.
• I loathe housework.  I wish we were rich enough to have a maid, but alas, we are not.  When I was growing up, my parents had this plaque that hung in our dining room.  I would love to hang it in our house, but Seymour put his foot down against it.  The plaque said, “Apology: Although you’ll find our house a mess, come in, sit down, converse.  It doesn’t always look like this – some days, it’s even worse!”  It fits our house, too.
• I am having a blast working on my latest writing project.  I feel like my writing is a lot stronger and that I have learned a ton as I’ve been editing over the last six months or so.  It’s a pretty great feeling.
• I talk in my sleep.
