Kreative Blogger Stuff

Tara, over at the Bloodcrossed Writer blog recently awarded me a Kreative Blogger Award. (Thanks, Tara!)

The Rules:

1. Copy the pretty picture and post it on your blog. [Done]
2.  Thank the person that gave it to you and link to their blog. [Thanks, Tara!]
3. Write 7 things about yourself we don't know. [See below]
4. Choose 7 other bloggers to pass the award to. [This is where I have problems. I don't send stuff on. I couldn't begin to count the number of e-mail chain letters that have died with me. So here's my deal. If you think you deserve the award, I hereby give it to you.]
5. Link to those 7 other bloggers. [Let me know if you accept, and I'll edit in a link a link here.]
6. Notify your 7 bloggers. [You're readingt this; you're notified.]

Now, this isn't the first time I've received this award, so I'll try to think up some new stuff.

Hmmmm. Thinking . . . thinking. . . .

1. I don't like to watch sports, and I can't understand why people get so excited about a game.
   
2. I have problems with artificial sweeteners. Aspartame gives me bad back-of-the head headaches. Splenda raises my blood glucose levels as much as sugar does.
3. I've never been to Europe or even wanted to go. I figure my ancestors had good reasons for leaving.
4. I never ate broccoli, Brussel sprouts, eggplant, or pizza until I was in college. Mama only cooked the things her mother had cooked (which were things she'd grown herself), etc.
   
5. I never bought a school lunch (not counting the college cafeteria) until I was a student-teacher. Mama always packed my lunch from first grade (no kindergarten in those days) through high school. 
6. My goal in first grade was to quit school when I turned sixteen.
7. I'm tone deaf to sharps and flats. 

There.
