Versatile...or Inconsistent?

The marvelous and loveable Janie Junebug has given me an award! The Versatile Blogger Award. I looked up versatile in good ol' Merriam-Webter, and here's what I found:

(1) capable of turning forward or backward
(2) capable of moving laterally and up and down

As I am capable of both (1) and (2), I shall hereby accept this award in good conscience. All I have to do is tell you seven things about myself. Prepare to be fascinated...

1. My favorite job ever was being a lunch lady at my kids' school.

2. I can't STAND to leave my toenails unpainted.

3. I complain about bunnies eating my plants, but truthfully I like it (I figure it's repayment for all my enjoyment of their cuteness).

4. There's only one show on TV that I must watch: Survivor.

5. I've watched every single season of it.

6. And I'm chuffed when people who've never watched a full season get all snootyish about it.

7. I wish Google, Facebook, Apple, and Amazon would stop vying to take over the world and each just stick to doing what they're truly good at.

I am now to tag 15 more bloggers, and I choose to tag the first 15 people to comment here. But please don't let that discourage you from commenting!  If you'd like to be immune from making an acceptance post, simply state "I found the hidden immunity idol" in your comment. :)

The post title is funny-- and I choose versatile! I also am with you 100% on #2 and #7. I don't do awards any more or I'd go with this one just because your answers were all so clever and I'd figure I could be clever like this too, and then I'd just blow it. Which is why I no longer do awards :)

I can't stand when people get snooty about tv or any other entertainment medium. It's totally pathetic if you need to feel superior about what tv show you watch. Rolling eyes. Oh and I found the hidden immunity idol LOL :)

Grats on the award! I found the hidden immunity idol. It's quite pretty in its own unique way. Is that nail polish on the toes?

I think being a lunch lady would be fun. :)

Hidden immunity idol!

I wish I had toenails big enough to paint.

I'm with you on the painted toenails. Do you go for wacky colors? :)

And please, hidden immunity idol, Survivor girl!

I love bunnies too! I've been known to hit the brakes in my car, point, and yell, "Look! Bunnies!" Thankfully, I've never been rear-ended. Yet. There have, however, been mutterings about whiplash.

I'm afraid I'll need to take the immunity idol--too, too swamped because I'm going on vacation! Woot.

Husband Unit and I are Survivorphiles too. Can't wait for the next season. Unfortunately it's on at the same time as my only other 'must watch', which is Arrow.

I was frightened when I saw your title. I was afraid you meant me. I like #7 and I say, Enjoy the garden, bunnies. Obviously I'm not taking the award because I gave it to you, and it was very nice of you to accept.

Love,
Janie

Congratulations on the award! I must admit that I've never watched Survivor. I can't criticize all reality shows, though, since I also admit that I used to watch Millionaire Matchmaker.

Dearest li'l, much younger than me, sis,

I hereby dub thee: "versatileor" (look at the full URL for this post to get my ... 'joke.' Yeah. 'joke.'0

And I hereby declare: PAINTED TOENAILS (I NEEDED to know this, btw) AND CUTE BUNNIES (eating your plants). There's a story in there, somewhere, I'm thinking.

HTH!

Oh! I am not liking bunnies at all! Love the painted toes. =)

Congrats on the award.

(I'm going to have to declare immunity, but I enjoyed your post.)

Purple is my favorite color! And I always keep my toes painted too. Not my fingernails--just my toenails!

Congrats on the award Nicki! I haven't watched Survivor in years because I never did get over the Richard Hatch debacle. He was clearly hoarding food!! Anyway, it's a great award and I wish you a fun rest of the day.

Before I start talking dirty, guess what happened---I hit 200 followers!   My 200th follower is Tony VanHelsing (who I'm going to assume is a descendent of you-know-who, and if anyone knows differently do not tell me).  To celebrate this milestone, how about I put Three Daves on sale for only 99 cents in Nook , eBook, ePub , and even Kindle until September 30th. ;) For today's feature post, visit Irish beauty Carol Oates .  This talented author and I discuss Adult versus Young Adult and where the line gets crossed.

Lexa & Julie's Dream Destinations Blog Hop & #Giveaway

We're celebrating the release of Julie Flanders' The Ghosts of Aquinnah   and Lexa Cain's  Soul Cutter   with a Dreams Destinations blog hop. Aaand Lexa & Julie are hosting a great GIVEAWAY.  Visit either Lexa's blog or Julie's blog to enter and also to find the Linky list so you can travel to more dream destinations. It was unbelievably difficult for me to settle on just one place. I decided to make it somewhere I'd never been before...and then I decided to stop over thinking and just pick a place already...and I landed at Piazza San Marco in Venezia, or as we call it for some reason, Venice. (Does anyone know why we don't all call it Venezia?) I would stroll the square, sidestepping pigeons and saying buongiorno to people whose eyes met mine, not worrying about my sorry accent. I would have tickets for that evening's opera in my pocket and a caffe-flavored gelato in my hand. I'd be wearing a darling scarf I'd just purchased, arr...

Top 10 Movie Countdown Blogfest

Yay, today's the day for another of Alex. J. Cavannaugh's famous blogfests. I'd like to thank him not only for hosting, but for keeping it simple & fun---coming up with this list and looking at posters of my most favorite movies turned out to be quite a cathartic exercise. I hope you found it to be the same (assuming you were in need of catharting). Thanks, Big Al. These are in the order of my affection for them: 1. Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl 2. Raiders of the Lost Ark 3. Star Wars: A New Hope 4. When Harry Met Sally 5. Return of the Jedi 6. The Empire Strikes Back 7. Toy Story 8. Mystic Pizza 9. Goodfellas 10. Jaws  I'm allowing myself two more because I think it was really good of me to count the original Star Wars Trilogy as three separate entries: 11. Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring 12. Pirates of the Caribbean: D...
