Wow! It's apparently Award Season,
'cause I have another this week. (And here I am without my red carpet
dress. Drat. So typical. ) I've been nominated for the Shine On
Award by not one, but TWO of my bloggy peers. First by the
ever-lovely Seeker from her thoughtful blog, Searching the Inner Me .
Then by the fabulous Maricel at her always intriguing blog, My Closet Catalogue . I'm honored that these two women thought enough of my little blog to
send this kind of shout-out.
Here are the rules:
- Display the award logo on your blog.
- Link back to the person who nominated you.
- State seven things about yourself.
- Nominate 15 other bloggers for this award and link to them.
- Notify those bloggers of the nomination and the award requirements.
Instead of nominating specific bloggers
for this award, I'm going to modify the rules a bit and declare that
if you are reading this, and that you are a blogger and wish to play,
YOU should consider yourself nominated. Congratulations! And
because I'm as nosy as the next woman, I'd love it if you post your
seven bits of personal trivia below in the comments section. Or you
can do the full-on nomination process at your own blog and say it
came from me!
Seven Facts About Me
1. Two foods I cannot turn down are
tacos and chocolate cake.
2. I lived in Alaska for a decade.
3. I really have to read for a while
before turning in for the night.
4. I belong to two Druid orders.
5. I don't leave the house without my
Kindle Fire.
6. My BFA came with the distinction
magna cum laude. Ahem.
7. I retained one of my baby teeth
until my 50s (in my mouth along with my grown-up teeth, not in a
keepsake box.)
I had to have Dan help me come up with
these ... I'm just about out of even vaguely interesting tid-bits of
information about myself.
What I Wore to the Big City on Sunday
The high on Saturday was just a little
under 70°F
and I was feeling all spring-ish. By Sunday, it had dropped to a
very gray, windy and chilly 57°F
so I regretfully rethought my choice of my little Peter Pilotto
dress and cute little strappy shoes. Some plowing through the closet
resulted in the unearthing one of my old-favorite and recently
neglected items; my Isaac Mizrahi (yes, for Target) trench coat with
a burnout eyelet embroidery hem.
It's
great for seasonal transitions as it's lightweight. And I had a
compliment on it from a dear little old lady (well, older than me,
anyway) who thought it was the prettiest raincoat she'd seen. It's
just the right time to bring it out and about for this changeable end
of winter, and it always cheers me up a little to wear it.
