My girl Janey over at Cupid or Cats has nominated Random Musings, aka Musings From a Workaholic, for the Versatile Blogger Award. (Thank you, Sweetheart! I am tickled! ♥)

So what happens next is that I post seven (7) facts about myself, and then I nominate thirteen (13) other bloggers. You thirteen are under no obligation to participate, but that you were nominated means that I think you and your blogs are pretty terrific, and that yes, someone IS reading and following. /waves frantically from way back here/

Okay…in no particular order, just the facts, ma’am:

1. Up until about a month ago there were two things I refused to eat; eggplant & walnuts. I’ve decided that I like eggplant, but that whole walnut thing will never change. I’ve tried. It’s just not meant to be. So this can be summarized as, “the only food I refuse to eat is walnuts.”
2. I was born on the west coast, currently live on the east coast, have lived in two other states (intoxication does NOT count, thanks) in between. I have also traveled all of Interstate 40 at one time or another, from one coast (Barstow, CA) to the other (Wilmington, NC).
3. I can play the violin, viola, cello, and guitar. I took violin lessons starting at the age of 7, played all through school, and can still, to this day, play large chunks of Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, (Allegro) by heart.
4. I love to bake. I don’t get to do it often, but I really enjoy it, and miss the days when I was a stay at home mom and could put out some lovely pies, breads and a pretty outstanding pound cake.
5. If I am ever reincarnated, I would like to come back as one of my dogs.
6. I hope to retire in Belize.
7. When I grow up I want to be a certified personal trainer and published author.

*Whew!* Glad that part is over.

Now for the fun part – thirteen bloggers and their links…And Janey, you are in here, too! These are in no particular order, either. As you can see, my taste in blogs is as varied as my taste in food. (Does anyone else see a lot of food parallels in here today, or is it just me?)
