Dang all of the sudden I’m getting love left and right. It’s truly an honor because I believe you are all 100 times the blogger I am. Your words seem to come so easily and eloquently. Thank you for all the likes, comments and support.

For this award I will nominate some blogs and/or the people that the blogs belong to that have touched me or inspired me in some way. I know some of you have already been nominated for this award or your not even accepting awards, but you’re getting it anyways, ha. Thank you!

If you so choose to participate, here are the 5 rules to follow:

1) Link back to the person who nominated you.

Thank you for your continuous and dependable support Bonding Tool

2) Post the award image on your page.

3) Tell seven (7) random facts about yourself.

1. My drink of choice is water

2. I don’t want to lose my hair

3. I’ve never had a cavity

4. I think before I speak

5. I don’t think I have any enemies

6. One of the most difficult parts about being in a chair is when a child too young to understand wants me to get up and play or get on the ground with them.

7. I want to know where all the lost socks go.

4) Nominate fifteen (15) other blogs.

The Versatile Blogger Award

Thank you Megan메간 for the Versatile Blogger Award (VBA) nomination!

A description I found said this about the VBA. It’s a mutual admiration society where bloggers recognize their peers for writing quality blogs that touched them in some way. The VBAs honor the blogger rather than specific posts. It’s a chance for bloggers to pat themselves on the back like the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences does with the Oscars. Until someone starts giving out Blogscars, the VBAs will have to suffice.

Here are the rules when selected for the Versatile Blogger Award.

If you are nominated, you’ve been awarded the Versatile Blogger award.

Thank the person who gave you this award. That’s common courtesy.
Include a link to their blog. That’s also common courtesy — if you can figure out how to do it.
Next, select 15 blogs/bloggers that you’ve recently discovered or follow regularly.
Nominate those 15 bloggers for the Versatile Blogger Award — you might include a link to the VBA site.
Finally, tell the person who nominated you 7 things about yourself.

Ok, I’ll start with the 7 things about me. This part does not appeal to me…dreading this, ha. I’d much rather be asked questions versus me talking about myself. Forgive me if they are lame.

1. I have lived in the same house my whole life

2. I love spicy food…I’m talking habanero or hotter spicy.

3. I haven’t driven since August 19, 2001 (Not by choice)

4. I do not like scary movies. I hate the anticipation of being scared.

5. I went skydiving for my 30th birthday.

6. Sometimes I’m scared I’m fighting a fight I can’t win.

7. I hate going a day without music

Now another difficult part, choosing 15 bloggers. I’d love to give it to all of you. If I nominate you don’t feel pressured to complete the requirements. I just wanted you to know I appreciate your blog and you supporting mine. In no specific order:

A Day in the Life of Shareen A.
