Reason #3 I love blogging...

because it can be all about me. Is that selfish? Is that pretentious? Is that spoiled?

And I love it because I get to experience wonderful gifts like this Kreativ Blogger award from Mattenylou at On Larch Lane. Thanks so much.

Visit her if you haven't yet. WAIT, let me tell you about her blog first. She lives in the East. She features the world just outside her back door and New England to boot. I love her photos and the way she writes about her world. Sometimes when I am there visiting, I expect her to step out of the page and offer me a cup of tea. She has a most interesting blog. You won't be sorry when you visit.

I am suppose to tell you seven (more) interesting things about me. I really have to scrape the bowl to find those interesting things. Because my friends, I am boring. But that's OK. Not everyone can be interesting. So, I humbly accept the role of the most uninteresting blogger on the Internets. Is there an award for that?

This is not one of my seven, just a funny conversation with a friend of mine (I work with her). You know how my mind roams and rambles and this will give me an opportunity to use my listing skills. So she asked me Tuesday if I would ever marry again. I said probably not.

I'm too picky.

And I told my friend that it would be too much trouble to marry again. But, I also told her the things I miss about marriage:

1. I have to change my own light bulbs now.

2. I have to get my own gasoline.

3. I have to eat my own chocolate cookies and they are not as good as...his. (I will deny this if you ever tell him.)

She laughed, shook her head and said "No really."

I said. "Really." (I'm complicated like that.) "I will never ever marry again."

Now seven interesting things about me or... whatever!

1. I have broken my pinkie toe twice... badly (turn away don't read this if you are squeamish) where both times the toe separated from my other toe like a fork in the road. OUCH.

2. I misunderstood the explanation of procreation in the 4th grade. After a passing kiss on the cheek from a little boy, I thought I was pregnant. I mourned for a good week wondering how I would ever tell my parents.

3. My grandfather died of Parkinson's disease. Watching him suffer was so hard. I was 12ish. I still cry thinking about it.

4. I love riding motorcycles.

5. My favorite breed of dog is Boxer. I love all dogs, but the Boxer is my fav.

6. I dance sometimes to music in the dark -for relaxation and exercise not because I am dancing with myself. I'm not that desperate. Oh and not in complete darkness because why bloggers... remember??? I'm. scared. of. the. dark.

7. Mercy by Duffy is my new favorite song.

There you have it. I reserve the right to pass the award on later. I am thinking of having an awards evening soon, with gowns, a black tie event with Entertainment Tonight covering the red carpet. I will let you know on that.

I have to go now.

I'm moving.

It is suppose to snow here in MO 6-12 inches Friday. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

So I'm moving tonight.

I don't know where yet, BUT if you live in a warm climate and have an extra bedroom and you will cook for me- please extend an invite. I'm not much trouble. Don't worry I will eventually leave. Just so you know my interests are: cleaning, eating and writing.

6-12 inches of snow in MO. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? (It bears repeating.)

Just to pull this all together (as if I could):

My reason #1 for blogging is to get to know you. Reason #2 that I blog is that I look forward to reading your posts. Reason #3 is because my posts can be all about me.

I have asked this before but tell me again new or old reasons why you blog. I love hearing them.

P.S. Would you like a little snow?
