There is nothing better than knowing that someone not only reads my blog, but thinks it isn’t a total waste of their time to do so. I received this blog honor from fellow blogger over at New View From Here. I really enjoy his blog and am honored that he enjoys mine!

When a person gets this nomination, there are two steps. First, I am to share 7 unknown facts with my readers and then nominate 15 other bloggers. Here goes….7 unknown facts about me in no particular order other than how they bounced into my head…brace yourself.

1.I stole a small Winnie the Poo plastic cup from my neighbor when I was seven. I reached through the chain link fence and just snatched it. I kept my marble collection in it for years. I still feel guilty about that….it’s the only thing I ever stole.

2. I hated chocolate until I moved in with my roomate during college. She was addicted and coerced me into walking to Dairy Queen late at night to get peanut buster parfaits. I blame her for my love of chocolate, and fluffy hips to this day.

3. I don’t like Tim Burton movies. In spite of the fact that they are very well made, the macabre element in all of them disturb me and give me nightmares. Yes, I’m a baby.

4. I’ve never been mean to my baby sister. I was a beast to my other siblings, so when Baby was born….at my age 14….I swore I would never hurt her, yell at her, or be mean to her. This could explain why I moved out when she was four. The things we do to keep our promises….

5. I love old black and white movies. When I was a newly wed and ‘broke’….our entertainment consisted of whatever we could do for free. The library had free movie rentals so we spent many a night watching old Bogie and Bacall movies. I still love them and the memories they bring.

6. I am directionally challenged. Okay, so this fact is probably well known by my family and close friends, but they don’t read my blog often. (losers). I absolutely can NOT remember where N, S, E, and W are. I hear knowing that can really help navigation but…why would I want the creators of my GPS to feel unneeded? I want them to feel good about their efforts. See how kind I am?

7. I am afraid of the lawnmower. Okay, so not so much now as I used to be, but I didn’t mow the grass until just recently. And that was only because I had to step into dad shoes after Brad died. I absolutely refused to learn to start the mower or attempt to mow the grass until that time. I had a friend in high school that lost a toe to a mower and that was enough for me. Some things are just Guy Jobs.

So…there are my seven random facts. Now I get to nominate 15 other bloggers to the honor and we all get to know about them!

Again, in no particular order, here are some bloggers that I think are pretty amazing.
