I am simply overwhelmed by how far my little blog has come in such a short period of time.  I hit an all-time high of “86 hits” on 4/13 (not sure why) and things have really taken off since then by my definition….  and now my friend, Beckie, over at CuzIsaidSo has nominated me for Versatile Blogger!!  This again is truly an honor to be recognized by one of your fellow blogger, who simply enjoys what you write.  Thanks so much, CuzIsaidSo.  By the way, Happy Belated Birthday!!!!  Not sure how I missed it.  I must be behind on my reading again. 🙂

Now seven (7) random unknown facts:

1.  I was the tallest person in my first grade class, I believe that included the teacher.  My dad came home and laughingly shared that fascinating fact with my mom (in my presence)….

2. When I was maybe 8 or 9, I was mugged for my Halloween candy.  Two teenager boys simply knocked me down and made me scratch my knee.  sob!

3. In my much younger days, I wanted to skydive…. Luckily I came to my senses before it was too late.  My husband often says that he just doesn’t understand why anyone would want to jump out of a perfectly good plane.

4.  By the way, my husband is 6’8″, which is why we have  6’3′ and  6’4″ tall daughters, respectively.  Thus, The Junoesque Blog!

5. I love murder mysteries,the old ones; Sherlock Holmes, The Thin Man, Murder She Wrote, Colombo, etc.

6. I too love cartoons and my old favorite is Scooby Do and my new favorite is Phineas & Ferb.

7. My daughter calls me a “Shark”, because I will ride around and around a parking lot to find the closest parking space.

Now 15 fellow bloggers that also deserve the nomination and honor!

Now that you have been nominated, you have to share 7 unknown facts about yourself and then nominate 15 other bloggers for the award.

By the way, I also needed an alternative for the “Liebster Award”, to replace Source of Inspiration, who unfortunately or fortunately (depending on how you look at it) has too many followers.

So my new nomination is:

http://meantforsomethingbetter.com/2012/04/25/thanks-and-do-i-have-to/  – Shares her life concerns, but understands that there is a purpose.
