Also, I'd like to take a moment and point out the fact that finally someone has designed a Blogger Award image that will go with any blog design. Black and white, so that those of you who are trying to maintain a certain look for your blog, can accept this award without fear of messing up your design. That may sound unimportant, but I think it's worth mentioning. Whoever designed this badge should receive a Beautiful Bloggers Badge Design Award. Just putting it out there...
Here's how it goes. I give you 7 tidbits about me, and then I pass this award on to 7 fabulous bloggers who can continue the cycle. Are you ready? I hope you won't find this too painful, darling readers....
1. Growing up, I had a horse and a pony. Buttons and Zipper, respectively. They were the light of my life. There was no money for a saddle so I rode them bareback. Which was lovely, actually.
2. There are two books in my library that I have read 5 times each. The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara and Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry.
3. My husband’s super secret (you won't tell anyone, right?) nickname for me is ApplePumpkinPaper, or APsquared for short.
4. I can’t whistle. Believe me, I’ve tried. If I could whistle like Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, my life would be complete. Well, almost. What would really make life complete is to have her whistle skill and her wardrobe from the movie.
5. I can, however, simultaneously cross my eyes, flare my nostrils and make fish lips. Impressive, right? And no, I will not provide photographic proof.
6. I’m terribly allergic to cats and scallops. As a child, I was allergic to strawberries, but thankfully, I outgrew it.
7. I’m the best pincher. I think I could win any battle with my pinching skills. I never pinch girls, but the boys better look out (just big boys, not little ones...I don't want you to think I go around pinching children). If they start to tickle me, tease someone, or generally misbehave, I’ll let loose with the most vicious pinch. Just ask my husband, he lives in fear. I learned this great art of self-defense growing up with an uncle who was only 7 years older than me. He would pin me on the floor and tickle me mercilessly. I mastered my skill out of necessity and turned the tables on him. Oh yeah.
Extra tidbit:
8. I was named after my dad, Dennis Ray. My name is Dennice Rae. The unusual spelling of my first name was the result of an article my mom saw in the newspaper. A wedding announcement. The bride was French and she spelled her name D-e-n-n-i-c-e.
Next, I will list 7 Beautiful Bloggers, in no particular order, and pass the award on to them. If they choose to accept it, they will then list 7 Super Secrets of their own as well as pass this award on to 7 Beautiful Bloggers of their choice. No pressure, lovely 7!

My mind is totally blown away by the fact that you had a horse and a pony, and you rode them bareback. Were you Pippylongstocking? Sounds so romantic.
You should get an award for cutest nickname! What's behind the name...an affinity for fruit a paper??
A horse and a pony? That sounds so perfect!
I can't whistle either, it drives me nuts!

I agree with the design of the award too. Some are tacky...
I am happy to learn of your favourite books. Something I'm always looking for.

Congrats on your award!
I can't whistle either!! You're the only other person I know of who can't whistle. Everyone else looks at me like I'm missing brain cells when they find out I can't whistle. haha
You are the sweetest, Dennice! Thanks for thinking of me. :) Now I need to think of 7 things to post..
*love and hugs*
I was reading along very nicely, getting to know you more... and then saw you awarded me...thank you and I will post soon.
What fun tidbits! I can't whistle either...it's a sad little noise that comes out when I try.
I wonder if Brock has any pinch scars....
Thank you, sweethearts, for leaving such lovely comments!
Except for Brock Street...he may need a pinch for having that photo...:)
Jessica - actually Brock Street has not been pinched. He's too sweet, and never, ever mean in any way.
xoxo

Oh! You got me! :D Here I'm enjoying a little quiet Sunday reading, thoroughly LOVING the fact that you named your ponies button and zipper, and learning more about your lovely self, then lo and behold there's my name at the bottom. Hmm...I'll have to work on that. Thank you for thinking I have seven interesting facts to share. ho ho.
