Apparently I’ve been awarded a Versatile Blogger Award.
That lovely lady over at The Novice’s Journey thinks I am worthy of a nod, which is really rather kind and quite flattering, so thank you.
Now before I get too carried away and end up sobbing as I thank the goldfish and the burglar for inspiring me, there are apparently some rules that have to be followed.
1. Thank and link to the person who awarded you.
2. Share 7 random facts about yourself.
3. Pass the award on to 15 new-found blogging buddies.
4. Contact those buddies, and congratulate them!
Now I am completely happy with all of these bar number 2. Do you really want to know 7 random facts about me? I’m not entirely convinced.
And what does random mean?
Random, secret?
Random, odd?
Random implies I can write down any old thing that comes to mind, but clearly, having just been classified as a “versatile blogger”, there’s some pressure to come up with something witty, intelligent and insightful.
So let’s do the easy bit first.
My personal nominations for the Versatile Blogger Award:
Are we nearly there yet mummy?
Diary of a White Indian Housewife
I’d love to claim I read all of the above on a regular basis, but that would be a lie. However, all of the talented writers listed have at some point made me smile, inspired me or made me realise that perhaps, my experiences really aren’t that random.
Oh yes, back to that random list again. 7 fascinating facts you never knew about twinsmummy:
1) I have to write. Despite my over-reliance on a Macbook and iPhone, I can’t go anywhere without a pen and paper. I make notes about anything and everything. I make lists to categorise my lists. It’s my obsession. Once Apple launch a pen and notebook, my life will be complete.
2) Which brings me neatly to my most favourite things. My Mont Blanc pen (black ink only), my leather diary and a never-ending supply of Black and Red notebooks. I use these every single day without fail.
3) I have no spatial awareness. I honestly cannot tell you if my car is parked 10 metres or 100 metres away. I cannot estimate how long anything is, or how wide. It drives me mad but it drives my husband more mad! Let’s just say I’m not very good in car parks!
4) Despite the blonde’s allergy, or maybe because of it, I now crave peanuts. I can’t get enough of them. When I was in Australia recently , one of my first acquisitions was a jar of crunchy peanut butter as we can’t have it in our house. I was like the R White’s secret lemonade drinker for a whole week! Naughty nut consumption.
5) I’m utterly scared of the dark. If my husband is away, I have to check under the bed and in the wardrobes before going to sleep. I have no idea what I think I am going to find. To date, I’ve never found a thing, but you just never know.
6) When I eat out, I always read the dessert menu first so I can plan accordingly. I’m a great fan of food, but for me, the proof is always in the pudding.
7) Quite by coincidence, all my children share their names with famous children’s fictional characters.
So there you have it!
Yes, they're twins. Both of them!
