I had the honor recently of being mentioned by Maria Grace
in her blog post One Lovely Blog. The idea is to tell your readers seven things
about yourself they may not have previously known then nominate fifteen other
bloggers to do the same. Can I tell y’all how tickled I was to be nominated by
Maria? I have not yet had the privilege of reading the published version of
Remember the Past, but I followed while it was being posted and loved every
word. I am a sucker for a likable Lady Catherine. Thank you, Maria!
Ok, seven things about me. What do y’all not already know?
1. I grew up in Arkansas but consider myself a
Tennessean. My dear husband and I are
currently enjoying our third stint in the state. We began our marriage in the
west, began our family in the east and are now good and settled in the middle.
We have also lived in Mississippi and North Carolina.
2. I love BBQ. If I had to choose my last meal it
would be a pulled pork platter with all the fixins,
including a sweet and spicy tomato-based
sauce. Do not give me that horrid mustard based stuff I endured for six years
in North Carolina. I’ll take Memphis’ best, thank you very much.
3. If I had to pick one author to enjoy with my
last meal, it would not be Jane Austen. (Waits for gasps) I would actually choose
Tolkien. His work is so full of wisdom and lessons on how to be a good human
being. Plus they are just darn good stories.
4. When I was younger I considered my tastes in music quite elevated. Now they are much
more akin to those of the seven year old
little girl who rides in my backseat. We rock “Let it Go” and “Shake it Off” on
a regular basis.
5. I rarely get a
chance to go to the movies. When I do, you can bet an X-Man or an
Avenger is involved. I love comics and
I love the movies based on them. In my world, Joss Whedon has demi-god status.
6. Speaking of comics, who else loves The Walking
Dead? I had to stop reading for a while after they killed my favorite
character, but I still love the show.
7. I am currently working on two novel length stories and one short piece for
the November/December playground challenge at AHA.
I never thought I would say this, but I have totally fallen for Bingley and
Lydia. I’ll let you chew on that for a few months.
Well, that’s my seven. I am supposed to nominate several
blogs for this, but to be honest, there are few that I follow consistently. I
believe pretty much all of them have
already been mentioned, but here are my favorites in no particular order:
