Irresistibly Sweet Blog Award

Thanks to the fabulous Amie Louellen, I have once again been awarded the Irresistibly Sweet Blog Award. I'll change things up a bit and give you seven random things about me that I haven't mentioned before. Let's see...


1. I've visited at least 40 of the 50 states.

2. I love to laugh. I tell everyone I'm addicted to it.

3. No one makes me laugh harder than my husband. Well, maybe my best friend Lisa... Lisa and hubs together? Now that's a laugh-fest.

4. My son and I text each other like teenagers. Okay, so he is a teenager, but I'm not. ;)

5. I'm addicted to speed. I can't wait until hubs gets his drag truck back together because this is the year I take it down the track!

6. I'm told I'm the spittin' image of my grandmother when she was my age. I don't see it, but she's beautiful so I smile and say thank you.

7. I really hate trying to come up with random facts about myself. I'd much rather read 7 random facts about you.

Irresistibly Sweet? Me?

It must be true. After all, Vivien Jackson, Laura Kaye and D.F. Kreiger all awarded me with this blog award yesterday:

Isn't it great? The rules of this award are:

1) You link the person who sent it to you
2) List seven random facts about yourself
3) Pass the award on to 10 other awesome blog buddies
4) Contact them and let them know

Seven facts about me:

1. I love cars ~ especially classic cars ~ and can change my own oil, do a tune up and rebuild a carborator.

2. Hubs and I have been married 19 years and we still have lots to talk about every day. I can't imagine life without him.

3. I was a night person until I had kids. Now I can't stay awake past midnight and I'm up by 5 a.m. ~ even on weekends.

4. My son and I text each other like teenagers. Okay, so he is a teenager, but I'm not. ;)

5. I love the smell of coffee, but can’t stand the taste.

6. The worst thing anyone can say to me is that I can’t do something. That is, unless you really want me to do it. I take statements like ‘it’s not possible’ or ‘I can’t foresee you ever being able to’ as direct challenges. You tell me something like that and I will go out and show you why you’re wrong.

7. I have no problem approaching people and talking to them. I’ve always been this way. Even people others are intimidated by, I will approach just to say hi. I’ve met a lot of people this way: agents, editors, NYT bestsellers, even rock stars. It’s just a part of who I am.

I'm passing on the Irresistible Sweetness to:
