I treasure every award and nomination I have received. My commendations from the military, my 3rd place trophy in the “Egg drop” category of the science olympics…ok that pretty much rounds out the list until now.
Enter the Daisy…
Sounds like an oddly effeminate Bruce Lee movie doesn’t it?
Well its not….
Special thanks to Elizabeth and her blog Aging Appropriately (http://agingappropriately.wordpress.com) for the nomination. Her blog addresses real issues that women face in their 40’s…batwings, pole dancing classes, and the like. I joke but her blog does address real things with grace and wit. Check it out sometime.
There a few rules that I must follow…in no particular order.
- Thank the person who nominated you (check)
- Tell you…the readers…7 unusual things about myself (getting to it)
- And, nominate a worthy blogger (that’s easy)
Well, here go the 7 unusual things that I am certain will qualify as too much information.
1. I grew up disturbingly close to the South Omaha Stockyards and as a result find the smell of cow manure oddly inviting.
2. I once contemplated becoming a priest.
3. I was immortalized in my High School yearbook for mooning more than 250 people in one evening…one incident involved cruise control…needless to say I did not date much.
4. Also in High School I knew how to say “let’s get naked” in eight languages…again, didn’t date much.
5. In 1998 I had a Scotch with Margaret Thatcher…I did not moon her.
6. While serving in the Marine Corps, I received a medal and a disciplinary action for the same thing.
7. Secretly I wish I were a cattle rancher…cattle tend to be easier to herd than kids, and they taste better.
Now for my final piece of the puzzle, my nomination. I nominate The Littlest Warrior Spot (http://littlestwarriorspot.com/). This is a blog about a normal family, the exception being that the littlest member has been battling melanoma. I admire the author. She brings grace and humor to a difficult topic and has transformed her blog into a resource for others.
