I gratefully accept The Versatile Blogger Award, and because of the lengthy award acceptances last night at the Oscars, will keep this short. (Applause, bows)
I apologize to CaptainSparklez who nominated me for the award last month. I’m happy I finally have time to recognize this honor and thank him. His website is called, interestingly enough, Troll Base, and you can find it at: https://mlgpronoscopezzz.wordpress.com/
There you will find poetry and opinion and a page for jokes, which needs more entries!!
For this award, I am to nominate 15 other bloggers. If any of the nominees already have this award or would like to decline, I am sending you a bouquet of flowers instead, which you can post on your blog if you wish. Sally, of Smorgasbord – Variety is the Spice of Life – gave me this idea.

And now for seven things about myself:
I used to be 5’ 10”’ tall. Used to be is the operative verb.
My hair color was once a deep red. I shudder.
I have huge feet. Which is why I wear sandals a lot. Thank heavens I live in the South.
I am allergic to surgical tape from too many surgeries. None of them cosmetic…well…
My eyes really are that blue – I don’t wear contacts.
My daughter is Korean. We’ve been blessed every day since we got her.
My favorite food is pizza, hot or cold. I do have preferences with regard to the source, though.
(A deep bow to my readers.)
Congratulations, Noelle! 🙂 But… what’s wrong with red hair 😉 ?
Great on you – not on me!
I’ve gone all natural again… sort of treacle with the odd strand of silver. I shall probably stay that way… well, until it is more than an odd strand 🙂
That’s a great acceptance speech, well done! I shall visit your nominees as soon as I have enough time. Where does time go? Today, it went in chasing inept delivery companies.
I’ve spent today chasing down anomalous charges on my credit card- I think we’re connected on some astral plain!
Great post, Noelle. Always great to learn more about blogger/writer friends. I love pizza, too — cold, hot, in-between, it doesn’t matter. We have family members from other parts of the world, as well, and we’re all better for it. Thanks for sharing.
Pizza – yum!
Encore.

Thanks, David. I love hugs!
Way to go Noelle!
Thanks – the best part was thinking up a few anomalous things about myself!
Great speech and many thanks for the nomination! And well done spotting the Mount Holyoke connection. The world is truly a small place!
Looking forward to your seven things!
Cingrats. It’s a very pretty badge. 🙂
*Congrats. Silly fingers.
If i had a nickel for every typo, I’d be a millionaire!
Great blog choices! 🙂
Thanks, m’dear!
Congratulations! Well deserved 🙂
Thank you, Patrick!
Hey Noelle,
First, thanks again for your comments. Second, you probably never read this post http://petedeakon.com/2014/04/18/pizza/ but might enjoy it. Third, good luck with you book launch. I wonder if we should chat some time to share experiences and see if we can learn anything about selling books. What do you say?
Pete
Hi Pete:
Will take a look at this and I’m happy to chat any time. You can reach me directly at
