The Versatile Blogger Award

 Yea!  I have been awarded The Versatile Blogger Award from Erin at Baldwin Homeschool.  Unfortunately, I am having some issues with Blogger's new picture uploader, so I can't seem to actually put the image of the award on my blog.  But, I happily accept and thank you, Erin!

To accept the award, I am to:
Thank and link back to who gave you the award.
Share 7 things about yourself.
Pass it along to 15 blogs you've recently discovered and enjoy.
Leave your recipients a note, telling them about the award.


So, here are 7 things about myself:
1.  I absolutely love to read.  I have an unknown number of books in my to be read pile and on my Kindle waiting to be read.  If I finish one book and don't have another handy, I start to panic.  Really!
2.  I was a teacher in my former life before I had children and stayed home with them.  Now I'm still a teacher but with a smaller class.
3.  I have been married to my best friend for almost 16 years now.  I accidentally called it 15 a few days ago and he corrected me.
4.  I drive a big red conversion van and have lots of trouble parking.  I love my Big Red, but I have been known to call my aforementioned best friend husband to come and get me out of a tight parking spot.
5.  Second only to reading, computering is my hobby.  I have a Facebook page, three blogs, and am a member of several boards.  I do have some "real" friends too.  I promise.
6.  I have often considered getting a tatoo.  But, I am greatly afraid of pain.
7.  Despite being a stay at home mom, I have very few homemaking talents.  I don't sew; I can't cook well; and I am really not crafty.  But, I love organizing, and I am a pretty good housekeeper and teacher.  So, I guess it is not all bad.

Now, I am probably not going to pass this award on to 15 blogs, mostly because I am feeling rather lazy tonight, but also because I passed on an award recently, and I know some folks don't like awards and all.

But, thank you again, Erin, and I am happy to be a versatile blogger!
