Kreativ Blogger Award!

I won!!! Thank you so much to Betty at Poetry - Etchings From My Spirit  for awarding me with the Kreativ Blogger award. I "met" Betty during the recent Blogging from A-Z Challenge. She has a brilliant mind and a creative sense of poety. Check it out!

According to the Kreativ blogger rules, accepting the award includes the following:1. Thanking the blogger who nominated me to receive the award and providing a link back to their blog

2. Sharing 10 things about yourself that bloggers might find interesting!

3. Nominate 6 other bloggers to receive the award and inform them

OK, so here goes my 10 things about myself...
1.  At 5'2", I am not very athletic but I love watching the basketball playoffs this time of year.  The only problem is that the Orlando Magic have already been eliminated...maybe next year :(
I did manage to go to my first Magic game recently though and it was a blast!
2.  I am such a reality show junkie.  It's a little embarrasing.  Now that American Idol, Amazing Race and Celebrity Apprentice is almost over, I am looking forward to So You Think You Can Dance, America's Got Talent, and Duets. 
3.  I am missing my mom lately between Mother's Day and her upcoming birthday.  She has been gone for 10 1/2 years but not forgotten.
4.  One of my favorite things to do to relieve stress is to clean an empty house.  I love watching the house transform!
5.  I'm a night person and would prefer to stay up till 2-3am but I'm not able to due to my job requirements.  It took me a while to conform to a regular work day
6.  I like playing cards and board games although I don't play them very often.  I think the world would be a better place if more families played board games together.  They bring people together.
7.  I hate shopping, especially for clothes.  I know, I'm weird, but it's true.  I have a horrible sense of style and I can never seem to be able to find clothes that fit well and look good.  It is very frustrating
8.  I feel naked without my phone.  Whether I am checking email, Facebook, Goodreads, or playing Words with Friends my phone gives me an unrealistic sense of serenity and security
9.  I've had a variety of pets in my life including several birds ranging from parakeets to a macaw, scorpions, lizards, frogs, fish, racoons, a gerbil, a hamster, a cat and several dogs.
10.  I am so thankful for all my blogger buddies, both new and former followers, and look forward to learning even more about each one of you
