Honors and Hoppers

I don't deserve these...but I'm going to keep them:

This summer I received two awards for my blog: The Versatile Blogger award from the wonderful Jennifer Delucy, and The Spotlight Award from the fabulous Fallen Monkey.  Both bloggers are brilliant writiers with fun, interesting, and active blogs that are the stuff of which I strive for, so I am touched that they took pity on me and gave me a nod with these awards.  I shall try to do you both proud.

To fulfill the requirement for accepting them, I will share seven random facts about myself.

#1 - I have been very blessed in this life and am always being given things I don't deserve.

#2 - I have been battling three tenacious warts on my leg all summer.  After a month of besiegment-by-duct-tape and relentless Compound W attacks, they appear to be severely weakened and their days are surely numbered...please?

#3 - I am a sucker for mochas.  I can't go into a coffeehouse without ordering one.  Meeting friends for coffee during Lent was hell.

#4 - I'm still waiting for Jeff Probst to call me after I sent in that Survivor audition tape about seven years ago.

#5 - I love this song:
 


#6 - I watch this when I want to cry (yes, sometimes I want to cry):
Four Weddings and a Funeral - "Funeral Blues"

#7 - I drink wine from a box (Black Box). There, I said it.

Now, to pass on these awards...I hereby bestow upon each member of this week's Meet an Author Monday blog hop either the Versatile Blogger Award or The Spotlight Award, recipient's choice.
