Reading Pride and Prejudice
Overcoming my tom boy roots, I finally broke down and did the last one. How did I make it past 30 and NOT read the #1 book on 90% of women's lists?
*sigh*
So, it's time to amend some of the other things I've been putting off, namely thanking and passing on the love from these AWESOME awards.
First, from my amazing friend Kerri Cuevas who manages a farm, writes, and hosts fantabulous Choose Your Own Adventure bloghops....Yay! Thank you Kerri, I love you!
So to pass on the love the recipient must:
1. Thank the person who nominated you
2. Write a post about the answers to the questions
3. AND nominate other bloggers and let them know
Questions:
1. Favorite color: PEARL. I know, I know, it's kind of a cheat because pearl encompasses the entire rainbow, but the truth is as a little girl my favorite color was a mix of iridescent blue, pink and purple which can only adequately be captured in pearl.
2. Favorite Animal: Eagle. Get some perspective, eh?
3. Favorite Number: 49, I mean it's perfection squared.
4. Favorite Non-Alcoholic Drink: Water...er Apple Cider?
5. Facebook or Twitter: Yes. (*ahem* I'm on Facebook most, but like Twitter more.) And why isn't Goodreads an option, eh?
6. My Passions: My family, education, music, orchestral composition, singing, theater, WRITING, reading, acting, drawing, the outdoors and star gazing.
7. Getting or Giving Presents: Giving.
8. Favorite Pattern: Random--like nature
9. Favorite Flower: ... Did I mention I was kind of a tom boy?
And now for the amazing people I'm nominating....
And if that wasn't enough, I've been putting this one off too. Nutschell is amazing and supportive and an incredible blogger over at The Writing Nut. Every time I interact with her I end up with a smile on my face. Thank you Nutchell for the: ---------------------------->
And now the rulz:
1. Thank the person who gave you the award
2. Name 7 little known facts about yourself
3. Nominate other bloggers
Seven little know facts... I guess my love of cheese is out the window...
1. My name is literally Chicken. Or was. C (first initial) + (maiden name) Hicken= C.Hicken.
2. I home school my 3 kids. Like, every day. Like, all day. Yup.
3. Speaking of kids, my son is named Random. Yes, it's partially after his Dad's sense of humor, but it's also partially after my special needs brother Randy who passed away a year before our son was born.
4. I wrote a musical. (Libretto and orchestral music.) No, I'm not talking roadshow or stage play. I'm talking 2.5 hrs of PURE MUSIC AWESOMENESS. And one day (when we crack down on our producer) it's going to go somewhere. =)
5. I used to believe I was one of Santa's elves. Even had a shirt with a rainbow heart on it I could press and open the gateway to the north pole--you know, like a Star Trek call button. (I know, I'm a geek.)
6. I grew up in Utah and have STILL never been skiing. That's like a crime, right?7. I'm a medieval times fanatic. Ask me lore. Ask me folk/fairy tales. Ask me fashion. Ask me torture devices. I mean...er...
And my AWESOME nominees:
LASTLY (--as if this blog post hasn't gone on for long enough--) a quick thank you to the blogger known as Far Away Eyes for the Versatile Blogger award!
So friends, now that I've shared far TOO MUCH about myself, tell me something unique and awesome about you!
