Stylish Blogger (Award)...

.

Hello, darling dears!  I have indeed been absent....Life sometimes has a way of taking up all my spare time.  However, I'm so happy to be back, even in this state of running behind schedule (much like the white rabbit).

I would like to begin my reemergence into the blogosphere with a lovely honor bestowed upon me by a sweet, new friend, Jayne of Suburban Soliloquy.  Jayne is very clever and witty as well as kind and caring.  I hope you will visit her blog and get to know her a little better.

Speaking of getting to know someone better....I am asked to reveal seven things about myself upon receipt of this Stylish Blogger Award.  I know you are all waiting with bated breath, on the edge of your seats.  #sarcasm (for hashtag explanation, click here)

If you already know some of the things I'm about to list, I apologize for the repeat....Truth be told, I am both touched and amazed to think that you may have an interest in these little tidbits about me.  I can't help but feel you will be bored to tears, but here it goes....


1) Every time it rains (like yesterday), I think of the people who have nowhere to live.  Out in the wet and cold. It's not that I don't think of people without homes during fair weather.  It's just that my heart breaks a little more each time it rains.

2) I dream in color.

3) Music and the water element are very powerful influences in my creative process.

4) I love to read (almost) all forms of literature, but I find that poetry deeply and profoundly affects me.

5) I don't like going to the market, but I do like doing laundry.

6) I make sublists of my lists.  Yes, yes I do. Which actually should make me kind of enjoy going to the market, but nope.  Still despise grocery shopping.

7) I'm a collector.  I collect many things, such as keys, buttons, lace, buckles, and locks (just to name a few).  Only old stuff though.  I love old stuff.  Also, old movies and old photos, old letters and old songs.

Bonus tidbits a and b and c:

a) I don't watch reality TV.  Ever.  I've never seen Survivor, American Idol or Dancing with the Stars, for instance.  *shudder*

I did, however, recently discover the most inspiring, fabulous documentary on the Sundance Channel.  If you get the chance, please watch it.  It's called "Someone Told Me about Carla Bruni".

b) I'm a firm believer in wearing red lipstick with cutoffs and a tank top.

c) I love to dance!

and now (drumroll, please) I would like to pass this award on to someone very special.  A blogger who puts a great deal of thought and effort into her posts.  She has wonderful style and a warm heart.  She happens to be a cherished friend as well.  So, without further delay, the award goes to:

Susan of Hometown Girl

The rules:
List seven things about yourself.
Pass the award on to another blogger.
Yes, I modified the rules, as did Jayne.
We're rebels that way.

If you made it through this post without falling asleep, I

 want to thank you for visiting.

Have a beautiful day!

Your comments bring me happiness, darling dears...xo
