The Versatile Blogger Award

My oh my. Today, as I was perusing WordPress Reader checking on the latest posts of my favorite bloggers here, I came upon a wonderful surprise. It seems that now is the time to make nominations for The Most Versatile Blog award. Seeing that 2013 is my first year on WordPress, I was very excited and surprised to see that Atomic Flash Deluxe has been nominated by a gal whose blog I enjoy very much.

I give much appreciation and thanks to myavonvintage for this unexpected and wonderful compliment. I’ve learned much from the myavonvintage blog – and have had a few chuckles just when I needed them.

For this award there are 3 rules:

1) Thank the person who gave you this award (and include a link to their blog.)

2) Nominate 15 bloggers for the Versatile Blogger Award (and link to them.)

3) Share 7 things about themselves that people may not know.

——————————————————————————————

Okay – Seven Things People May Not Know:

1) I wrote, illustrated, and bound my first book when I was seven years old. It was called, The Enchanted Forest. I wanted to create a publishing company that would specialize in children’s books, written by children, for children. The idea never materialized. *meh*

2) At twelve, I was the first girl in my state to join a Little League baseball team. The league refused to let me play *meh*, but my efforts helped to begin the conversation and ultimately open the door for future female players.

3) At sixteen, I was awarded the honor of Drummer of The Year for my local music scene – and no one ever said, ‘she’s good for a girl.’ That made me happy.

4) I’m trained to warrant black-belt in the martial art of Tae Kwon Do.

5) I have a BA and double majored in political science and mass communications. I did my post-grad work as a research analyst fellow in political science.

6) I’m a cat lover and have shared friendship with two cats in my life: Newton, who lived to be nineteen years old, and Astro, who is seventeen and still very much alive.

and finally, 7) I love Arab and East Indian food but don’t eat it as much as I would like.
