I’m Stylish. What?

I’m a professional food spiller, and yet some people out there think I’m stylish?

Duh—that’s not it.  They think my BLOG is stylish!  Oh.  Still… *rubs eyes in disbelief*

Anyway, the amazing people who gave me the Stylish Award are:

Leah Petersen, who created the awesome 5MinuteFiction contests, and her sci-fi novel, Fighting Gravity, is coming in 2012 from Dragon Moon Press.

Catlin Darrel, a lovely YA writer, who loves sharks, and looks like one of my best friends from college.

Cambria Dillon, my awesome new cyberspace friend, who’s repped by Vickie Motter of the Andrea Hurst Literary Management.

So Leah, Catlin and Cambria, thank you VERY much! You’ve made my day.  =D And now, when my hubby says I’m not stylish because of how clumsy I'm eating, I’ll prove him WRONG!

As part of the award, I’m supposed to reveal seven things about myself and follow these rules:

1: Thank and link back to the person who gave you this award.
2: Share seven things about yourself.
3: Award 5-10 recently discovered great bloggers.

4: Contact these bloggers and tell them about the award.

So here are Seven Things about Moi:

1) I’ve married my husband 3 times.  One of those weddings was in India.

2) I hate to share cookies, and I'll come up with silly pretexts to trick my mind into thinking that it’s good not to share them. Like, “I’m doing the other person a favor, b/c cookies aren’t nourishing.” 

3) I’m a very overprotective mom, and maybe that’s one of the reasons I’ve breastfed my kids up to when they were 2(+) years old.

4) Some of you already know this, but here it goes again: I was born in Peru, and at the age of 8 my parents dragged me to Chile, escaping from terrorism.  Usually, bombs exploded near our house, and there were lots of robberies, etc. Hard times.

5) I’m a really forgetful person. In fact, I was going to say something else here and I forgot. No kidding!

6) When I was little I either wanted to be a primatologist or an astronaut.

7) I LOVE the YA community.  I love my peeps, my CPs, my friends, my followers.  And I’m so happy to be writing this now!

Since I recently discovered all my agency sistah’s blogs, I’m passing this Stylish Award to the 5 of them!  Go Wolf Pack Go!

(In alphabetical order—yeah they are all so cool that I couldn’t decide who to put first!)

1) Tawna Fenske.  She’s so funny that her tweets and her blog make me laugh even when I’m cranky. How cool is that?

2) Linda Grimes. She is so imaginative that she even makes up hilarious meanings for blog verification words.  And she’s so sweet she brightens my day!

3) Kimberly Sabatini:  She’s like my twin sister in the Wolf Pack—we were almost “born” the same day.  And she’s been so supportive and awesome that I <3 her for that! (Also, I love her *grins*)

4) Kasie West: She’s really cool and sweet, and when I comment silly things on her blog, she doesn’t think I’m crazy. (Or at least she doesn’t say so!) And I couldn’t be happier that she joined The Pack!

5) Kiersten White: She’s like my big sister.  Opening up the path so I can follow her steps.  And, since we’re talking about blogs, her posts are really helpful for us writers and I wanted to THANK her for that! =)

You guys don’t have to do anything about the award, but I just wanted to send you my <3
