So I guess I can say I humbly and graciously accept this award. That being said I guess I need to post some things that I stole from Lisa's post. Thanks Lisa for the Nomination and maybe we will get lucky and meet at Quiltcon. My wife wants to go and I told her to look into it.
The Rules:
*Thank the person who nominated you, and give a link to his/her blog.
*List the rules.
*Display the image of the award on your post.
*List seven facts about yourself.
*Nominate (up to) 15 bloggers for this award, and notify them to let them know you have nominated them.
So here are 7 facts about me.
1. I am a runner.... though I haven't done anywhere near as much as I did last year (1000+ miles over the entire year). I do it to relieve stress as well as experience the runner's high....yes that is a real thing. I do my best thinking running (and mowing and sometimes while indisposed ...TMI)
2. I am 1 belt test away from being a black belt in Taekwondo. I have never really had the desire to complete it either....alot of responsibility that I am not willing to commit to or be responsible for comes with being a Black Belt. I have to many other Irons in the fire, so to speak
3. I have been in law enforcement in some capacity for over 15 years now.
This one being the one I am most proud of.
4. I am a bit of hermit....or should I say Jedi???? I don't do well at places like Walmart. My wife has all but accepted this and avoids taking me when possible. I get "road rage" in the isles when people block them.
5. I FEEL (and it is just my personal feeling) that society has a whole has went down the tubes and people have lost the ability to be kind, respectful, and considerate of others (and more importantly their time). I have to say though... the quilting Bloggousphere has restored my faith to some degree.
6. I have an addiction to cinnamon. My wife even buys me the LorAnn Oils and i actually turn them up onto my tongue and work my way through a bottle a little at a time. Sometimes even to point of causing an upset tummy from burning due to using to much of it.
7. I'm Batman, I just don't have the money to go with it.
I know some of this was in my first post but there is a little more info with this one.
Nominations...I am really not sure who to nominate. I won't pretend to be a dedicated follower of blogs because my time to work on this or even read is very limited between work, duty, and only having 2 days off to accomplish anything...most of which is ate up right now with mowing.
I guess I will nominate Cheryl Brickey and Sandra
Cheryl because of her awesome patterns that are extremely easy even for a beginner and Sandra because she let me "field test" as guys call it a pattern....that would be "pattern testing" for the quilter that isn't trying to come up with new lingo for quilt processes. LOL
Hope you enjoyed!
Great post Dave: I never go places like Walmart either or places like Canada's Wonderland. My kids had to wait to go with other families or on school trips, don't like crowds. I like point 7. It's the best. Great nominations as well.
ReplyDeleteWell done! Your texts are as pleasing to read as your quilts to see))
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that quilt blogging is helping you feel better about society. I always feel renewed after going to Oshkosh, WI, for the EAA AirVenture air show. It is a huge event and most people who attend camp. Walking through the camp ground to the air show I witness so many acts of kindness that it fills my heart to overflowing. It always leaves me feeling better and is a good reason for my husband and I to attend when we can (it happens once a year at the end of July). And... are you secretly BatDad? :D
ReplyDeleteI"m trying to be a runner...we'll see how it goes. Sadly, I agree with #5. But have made some great blog friends. It's a supportive community.
