Special Post – I Accept an Award!

Dragon’s Loyalty Award

I got nominated for another award! This time it’s for Dragon’s Loyalty Award. I was nominated by fellow blogger and reader of this blog, Meghan! Which according to her, the Dragon’s Loyalty Award is a combination of both The Versatile Blogger Award and The Very Inspiring Blog Award.  Thanks Meghan…check out her blog > HERE <.  Meghan’s also extra special because she’s from my very own state of Indiana.  Go Hoosiers!  That also means she knows what kind of weird weather we are having right now.

Now with anything there are rules:

1. Display the Award on your site

2. Announce it with a post and link to whoever presented your award

3. Present 15 awards to deserving Bloggers.  I follow a lot of bloggers who do not accept awards, plus, I try to get newer ones brought in, so the list will be shorter and if you are not on it and wanted to be, I am so sorry…hmm…since it’s short, perhaps you can drop me a note.

4. Drop them a comment to tip them off after you’ve linked them to the post

5. Post 7 interesting things about yourself.

8)  Marina Kanavaki

9)  Kerrie Ann Salsac – Writing For Life

10)  Sheri De Grom

Well, that’s 10.  If any of you I have selected do not accept awards, then simply ignore this.  I tried to put in new blogs I have looked at and decided to follow.  I may not read you all the time, but I notice.

Now, for 7 things about myself that, at least, I find interesting:

1)  Because of the way a college professor graded the first draft of my Master’s Thesis, the word “That” is like poison to me.  I try to always go back and eliminate at least 80% of the times I have used it in a story or post.

2)  I had such a fascination with “A Charlie Brown Christmas” growing up, that, one year, I went to the woods behind our house and chose a tall weed and decorated it for my own Christmas tree.

3)  When I was very young, my sister and I burned 14-17 holes in the carpet of our play room ( I don’t remember the spanking! ).

4)  I play “Words With Friends” (like Scrabble) on Facebook and play about 14-20 games at once.  If you are on FB and enjoy playing, drop me a note.  I win much more than I lose!

5)  At time of this writing, I have no grandchildren, but do have one great niece – Karlie Koontz.

6)  I have always wanted to have a lot of money, but one reason is so that I could, personally, give a away a lot of it to personal charities, tips, and so forth.

7)  One of the warehouse buildings I used to patrol as a night guard in Indianapolis is now the site of the new jail.

There you have it!  I hope you enjoy the above facts and reading a couple of the bloggers I nominated.  Have great fun!

Namaste,

Scott
