The brilliant and awesome Jenny Ford passed on the Mrs. Sparkly award. Look–
*Pausing for OOhs & AAhs*
To accept the award, I have to answer seven questions about me and nominate 15 other bloggers. I hate to leave people out and many times I pass on these awards to people who’ve already received them so here’s the deal . . . .if you are one of the first 15 to comment and have a blog but don’t have this award, take it! All you guys sparkle and deserve it:):) Also, the knowledgable and gracious Robin Weeks has offered to give away a query critique to a commenter on my blog after I correctly answered a question on her blog last week! Winner can pick whether Robin tears the query apart in private or on her blog, to be seen by tens of people–who just might comment and help you even more. So if you’d like to be considered for that, please make note of it in the comments below. Thanks, Robin!!!
Ok, let’s get down to the nitty-gritty.
Describe yourself in 7 words: weird, ambitious, fun, anal, fast (not in running *I wish* but I tend to jump into things), talkative, daydreamer
*What keeps you up at night? Writing my novels and reading!!
*Whom would you like to be? Wellllll, God made me “me” for a reason, so nobody (Ok, but it wouldn’t totally suck to be J.K. Rowling)
*What am I wearing right now? HP shirt (yep, nERd alert), Navy cotton shorts from Ann Taylor Loft . . . and I’m not describing my undergarments to you (pervs! HA! J/K)
*What scares you? Needles & anything to do w/ the Dr. in general. Still don’t know how I made it through two pregnancies, but I’m soooo glad I did b/c my daughters rock!
*What are the best and worst things about blogging? Connecting with people from all around the wORld is for sURe the best THiNG evER!!! The worst . . . it’s a major time suck and even though I love, LOVE, lOvE it, I always feel guilty b/c there are other things I should be doing (but I choose to ignore THAT voice in my head & let the others take over. Heehee)
*If I could change one thing about myself, what would it be? I drink too much coffee, CoFfEe, C*O*F*F*E*E!!! I’m addicted. Hmm, maybe you can tell that about me w/out stating it? 4 cups of Santa’s White Christmas with 2 spoonfuls of sugar, Caramel Macchiato creamer, whipped cream every day is a necessity (like food, shelter, & love in a mug!)
*Slankets, yes or no? OK, I guess I’m not cool b/c I actually had to google what Slankets are, lol. But I AM a Slankets girl, we just refer to them as snuggies in my house. I have a HP one that looks like a Hogwarts robe.
*Tell us something about the person who nominated you. Jenny Ford (known as J. Keller Ford to many of you) is a YA author inspired by fantasy and magic. I love her blog . . . she always has lotsa good stuff on there & is like, a real person. I feel like I know her even though we’ve never met. I got to know her story when she participated in the first page critique hop on my blog this past February.
Thank you, Jenny, and thanks to everyone who follows my blog and offered their congrats last week–YOU SPARKLE!!!
Aww, you’re so sweet. You know, I’m inclined to give awards out to anyone who wants to grab them because all my followers and bloggers I follow are amazing. Thanks for the kind words, too. What sort of coffee lover are you? What flavor? What creamer if any? I’m a Godiva French Vanilla with Bailey’s Chocolate creamer kind of gal.
Congrats on your award, Jamie! I think my 7 words would be very similar to yours. TOO anal, I am! lol! And I haven’t figured out what “slankets” are yet *off to google*
Congrats on the award. And NO you do not need to state you drink too much coffee. Haha. My boys would LOVE a HP slanket, snuggie whatever you want to call it. They’d run through the house yelling. Wingardium Leviosa.
Fun questions.
Congrats on the award you really do sparkle! [Like the guy in twighlight in the sun! Lol! JK!] Love your posts so funny!
P.S. Thanks for award! Posted on my blog Peaceloveandponcho.wordpress.com!

Yeppers, pretty much;) Thanks for the laughs, Honey!

How funny:) I love reading posts where writers reveal things about themselves. It’s like having a talk with them while they they tell all their secrets. Thanks for sharing! Talynn
Oh, I would live a query critique. I’ve been working on mine and it still needs help. Thanks! Talynn
I’ll let Robin know:-) Thanks for playing & gOOd luCK!
