emmy nomination
@onestepcloserto_perfection seemed to think I should do this. Pretty much said I either needed to write an emmy award speech or do it. So, this seemed easier. Oh, I’m supposed to say thank you.
By the way, if you didn’t read hers, you should. It was sweet.
Here are the Rules:
Thank the award giver and link them in your post.
Share seven things about yourself.
Pass this award along to blogs that you enjoy reading.
Contact your chosen bloggers, let them know, and post the award picture.I’m awfully boring lately, so there that is. Snore if you must.
1. I’m a klutz. I drop stuff all the time. Sometimes I catch it before it crashes to the ground, which is somewhat convenient.
2. I’m a space cadet. I completely forgot to do two things today that I could easily have done if I’d been paying attention to assorted papers lying around my house. I suppose it’s just as well that I didn’t do them, since I’ve completely lost track of what year it is. It cannot be 2012. I also lose things. I’ve lost my wonderful mittens because I put them away somewhere really smart in October when I didn’t need them and haven’t remembered yet where that smart place is. I also can’t find my ATM card. I travel light because I often leave things behind. So I have no idea when/where I had it last and what I did with it after I took it out of my pocket. Sigh. In other news, I just found my library card.
3. I’m an eastern girl. When I was little, I lived in Utah. But the rest of my life I’ve lived in PA and MD (although I worked in VA for a while.) Riveting stuff, I know.
4. I don’t like holidays. Ick. I have bought a Valentine for possibly the first time. Actually bought two. One sappy and one funny. Guess which one satisfies me more? When I forget where I’ve put them, please remind me they are under my stack of books. Thanks.
5. I have 4 cats, all different ages and temperaments, and none of them really get along with each other. This is #2 cat. 1 of 3 girls who all look the same in the dark. #3 gets stepped on because she sits in the middle of the floor at night. #4 is ninjapsychokitten who is always underfoot anyhow. The gray and white is the big, stupid boy cat who had a pink ribbon at the SPCA or he wouldn’t be part of our family. He’s a beast. Soft and pretty. But he goes from purr to splat in 5 seconds and he holds me personally responsible for bad weather.
6. This space left intentionally blank. And be glad of it. Because it’s either something I don’t want you to know or it’s something you don’t want to know. Trust me on this.
7. This will surprise everyone, but I am grateful. I’m hitched to a great guy who I don’t deserve. Lucky for me he disagrees.
I have no idea who to tag. I’m pretty sure anyone I’d pick has already done it or won’t. Just like last time.

Lovely post ^-^ I think all of this makes you a super cute and wonderful person
intriguing. my favorite is #7, but you probably know that too.
The first two describe me well. I forgot to do any Valentines this year. I really did intend to. Oh well.
7 is very good to hear.
You’re might as well go ahead and do #6, cause you know you’ll tell me anyway. ; )
You’re fun. I like you.
Hey – always enjoy your comments on OBL’s blog, so I stopped by. #2 totally describes me, too! Currently, I am trying to remember where I squirreled away my favorite sunglasses. I’m hoping to find them before a family trip to FL this week, but the odds are against me. HA!
maybe your mittens are in a coat pocket. and maybe your atm card is in there, too. or, are they under your stack of books as well. how many stacks of books do you have?
6. is a cop out. sheesh.
these are fun, cute cats
@plantinthewindow - checked pockets many times. many, many stacks of books. some even on shelves. ok. i’ll tell you the one story for #6 and tell @lanney - the other one. i have to make playdough tonight. (for the kiddies)
@turningreen - florida. you lucky dog. thanks for the visit. i enjoy your comments on obl too.
@xXxlovelylollipop - thank you nadia.
@godfatherofgreenbay - yep. i do like my fur children pretty well. they don’t talk back much.
@be_the_rain -
intriguing? right.
You are thoroughly cute and adorable. Cute kitties. Shame on the SPCA for faking you out on the boy! LOL! You did not mention your artistic talent, or your writing talent, but since we’ve already seen them, I guess you really didn’t have to. A klutz and space cadet…who would have guessed? Glad you played along! It’s always nice to get to know someone better.
Excellent. What’s number 6, again?
I can be easily described by number two, also. “space cadet” is an accurate word for me.
I think you underestimate your power. If you nominate people and bug them about it repeatedly they will complete the task. =P
@onestepcloserto_perfection - ah. the big difference is that you have the cuteness/sweetness factor.
I thought about tagging you since we just met and I was curious/nosy. Fortunately someone saved me the work

We don’t do holidays in my house. Actually, tomorrow, husband will likely go to work in another town for a couple days so I’m probably going to be alone on Vday, but I can’t complain. Yesterday he installed my/our dishwasher and right now he’s working on the closet in the soon to be nursery. How could I care about chocolates or roses when I get plumbing and electrical for free!?
Congrats on landing a good one for yourself
@oceanstarr - i got a new shower head over the weekend. i’m good for the holiday too.
@promisesunshine - nice
@promisesunshine – Yeah. Okay. Right.
You should be ashamed of yourself posting #6. You think it is a secret but everyone who comes by here knows. You have toejam right? . . . and you pick it out every night before you go to bed. Ha, you didn’t think I knew did you? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/neal-m-blitz/toe-jam_b_894133.html
@vexations - yes. yes, i do. but i pick it out every night. i have excellent personal hygiene. and very colorful socks.
There were great !! I liked number six… oooooo… mysterious !!!!!
@roscoes_farm - that’s me. mysterious.
Four cats? There comes a point where the beasts of the earth have dominion over humans. I’d never risk that.
I notice everybody writes “Here the Rules” I did it too. Very sad.
@we_deny_everything - I copied and pasted and neglected to even look at it. fixed. thank you.
I know. Four cats is too many. One of them adopted us. The last one was a humanitarian effort to save a friend. There it is, can’t be undone. No more though.
1. Me too! Or at least I used to be good about catching stuff. My reflexes probably aren’t what they used to be.
Fetching felines there. Try not to step on them too much.
Oh, and super buncha Valentines!!! (To follow)
Did I give this one yet?
@distractedbyzombies - i totally knew that would work on you!!!
@distractedbyzombies - @distractedbyzombies - @distractedbyzombies - you give the best valentine minis!!!
@promisesunshine - That’s because I give them all.
@distractedbyzombies - ninjas, not just for v.d. anymore.
@promisesunshine - It was a trick! Clever female!
@promisesunshine - Quiddit! Finding minis takes a long time and I can’t keep up with the conversation.
@distractedbyzombies - minis better than conversation anyhow. (to a big mini sucker)
@distractedbyzombies - goodness, that just sounds so wrong doesn’t it?
@promisesunshine - well, no, not until you pointed it out. =P
@distractedbyzombies -
I enjoyed your short story and the pics of your cats very much
