Lovely Blogs and Broken Rules

Jo at Jo on Food, My Travels and A Scent of Chocolate awarded me the One Lovely Blog Award which means that I have
to a) thank her for the award and then b) follow the rules:












Name the blogger who awarded you this fantastic award.
List 7 random facts about yourself
Award 15 other bloggers this award (Here's the deal, though, rules in my unlimited opinion are general guidelines. In the essence of time, I have awarded it to 5 other bloggers. I may get struck by lightening, but I doubt it will have anything to do with me bending a rule here and there.)
Enjoy!

 Seven Random Facts About Me

 1) I have an unfinished novel in my beach bag. I'm carrying it around with me this summer. It's some kind of wishful thinking thing I've got going.

2) I enjoy a light breeze, but I detest wind.

3) Repetitive noises drive me over the wall, into the ditch and out of my mind.

4) Every time I finish writing something I panic that I will never think of anything creative ever again. And then I do.

5) I think I'm having a mid-life crisis. To add to that stress, I'm concerned that the two halves of my life aren't adding up to my ideal life expectancy.

6) A favorite way to treat myself is with smoked salmon, cream cheese and capers on crackers.

7) When I was in second grade, I was running across the playground one day at recess and I ran smack-dab into a bumblebee. It stung me. Maybe that's why I don't like surprises.
