I have some belated Pay it Forwards to do.
Lemonade Award
Diane over at Writer Roller Coasters nominated me for a very cute award, known as the Lemonade Award. Yay for turning lemons into lemonade, one of life's sweetest recipes! You have to award it to 10 recipients - I only did 5.
Here are my recipients:
Susan Mills over at Walk in my shoes who somehow finds a shoe for every writing analogy possible.
Heidi Willis at Some Mad Hope for holding onto hers.
Bj Andersen at Hope Springs Eternal for her Book Trailer Tuesdays
Christina Farley at Chocolate for Inspiration because I love hearing about her adventures in Korea
Holly Cupala at Brimstone Soup because she is a great contributor to readergirlz which BTW is having teen read week next week.
I know my ABCs
I love these meme's. And they're a great opportunity to learn a bit more about each other. Karen over at Novels During Naptime tagged me. (great name right? its how I wrote my first book!) Go check out her blog if you haven't already because (a) she's a mom! (yay mommy writers!) and (b) she's a self proclaimed sassy pants. (not to mention she won an award of her picture book at MidSouth!)
So....here goes:
Available or in a relationship? Relationship
Best Friend? my hubby

Thanks for the shout-out, Shelli. Now, I need to go and put a new post up on the ol' blog. :)
And 8 cheeses? I'm about to faint.
You are too funny Shelli. I liked the part of the hair frizz part, since I can relate with my naturally curly hair. Thanks for the afternoon laugh.
BTW, I think I'm in the dark here... don't laugh, but I've never heard of pomegranate dark chocolate. :) sounds like a treat!
Ah, thanks! I feel special. And I agree with the essential item for every day use. Who needs a shower as long as you've got coffee!
Oh, yeah, and I'm a Virgo, too. No wonder I like you so much.
Awww, thanks for the tag, lady! I'll post my tag answers tomorrow.
And, I do have to say that I am SHOCKED that you live in Georgia and don't like beets. I LOVE them, even before I read about Ramona Quimby.
Fun meme. I just love that your favorite food is a cheese dip!
Thanks so much for the award!! :D And those are some awesome facts about you. I, too, cannot live without my coffee.
Wow! Thanks for the lemon-to-lemonade award! I think that's one of the nicest compliments!!
I love your meme! It's always so fun to find out about bloggers on a different level than what they normally blog about!
And now, I am hungry for cheesecake. :)
I'm shocked you chose January over February! LOL. Fun list. It's nice to know you better.
Great list! And, congrats on your award!
Congrats on the awards, and thanks for following me!
Wow, that's awfully nice of you, Shelli! Thank you! I've never had a Lemonade Award before, but I think it's my favorite kind!
Thanks for the shout out. I'm going to be talking about your blog at my Korea SCBWI workshop this weekend called 21st Century Writer. You've got so many great ideas!
Congrats on the awards!
Congrats! Love your quote of the day. Oh, and coffee of course :)
