Yea! I got an award! This was given to me from "Nikola's Book Blog". He has a great blog with great reviews, check him out!I have to list 7 things you might not know about me and then pass it onto 15 other bloggers and notify them of it.
7 things -
1. I love reality shows! Survivor, Amazing Race, Dancing with the stars, Celebrity Aprentice, So you think you can dance, Design Star (that one is coming up, I think).
2. I am a Christian, very strong in my faith!
3. I love Country music! Trace Adkins, Blake Shelton, Alan Jackson, Lady Antebellum, Sugarland, Sara Evans, Martina McBride, Carrie Underwood.
4. I strongly believe in "Live and Let Live" and am very much against prejudice of any kind!
5. I love the color purple, have ever since I was a teenager.
6. I believe in the power of Alternative Medicine - Homeopathic, Herbal, Acupressure, Prayer.
7. I Love "Hello Kitty"! I have a growing collection of Hello Kitty items - socks, 2 pair of earrings, a little wallet, 3 pez dispensers, a pillow, sweatshirt, and valuer jacket, and lots others.
OK, I don't think I can give this to 15 people. I'll try to do 7.

ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the Read-a-thon as well! I wish a copy of Before I Fall would come in for me at the library, but there's a decent wait, so it won't be in time, likely.
