My First Blog Award

I am so thrilled to have received this award from Beth at The Crazy Life of A Bookoholic Mom. Thanks Beth!!!  I started this blog to share all the books I love to read, give my opinions about worldly things and basically keep myself busy.  It has been so much fun, and I am so glad other people like it. (Most of my family doesn't get it :)  Yesterday I received my first cozy advanced copy and this award, it feels like Christmas.

 

Now I am supposed to tell you 10 things about ME.

1. My family is the most important thing to me.

2. I used to work on a construction crew building houses and pouring concrete.

3. My favorite band of all time is STYX.

4. I love old Christmas movies, (Holiday Inn, The Bells of St. Mary's, The Bishop's Wife, etc)

5.  I used to sew most of my family's clothes and loved to quilt.

6.  My parents used to own a tavern and we lived above it. I went to sleep every night as a teenager listening to the music of the juke box coming up through the floor.

7.  I get claustrophobic in many small places.

8. I am addicted to PACKRAT on FACEBOOK.

9. I am hooked on high school basketball.

10. I survived a horrific accident, was hospitalized for 75 days, and it's a true miracle that I am alive, with only my right side partially paralyzed.

10A. My real name is Lori, but my husband as always called me Dolly and Cas comes from our last name.

I am also supposed to pass this on to 10 other bloggers, but since I am so new to the blogging world I have chosen six, two who have really helped me figure out this blogging thing and four to blogs I have discovered and really enjoy.

1. Lori at Lori's Reading Corner 

2. Wendy at Wendy's Minding Spot 

3. Amanda at A Patchwork of Books 

4. Kaye at Pudgy Penguin Perusals 

5. Nicole at Books, Books Everywhere 

6. Leslie at Books Anonymous 

I hope you will all enjoy the award as much as I have.
