Pete Denton, over at petedenton.wordpress.com, has been sweet enough to nominate me for a Versatile Blogger Award! As I understand it, the rules for accepting this award are as follows:
1. Thank the award-givers and link back to them in your post. Done.
2. Share 7 things about yourself. See below.
3. Pass this award along 15 or 20. Done.
4. Contact your chosen bloggers to let them know about the award. Done.
So- 7 things about me you might not already know….
1. I used to do a lot of bellydancing, including a couple of solos. Nothing gives you a bigger adrenalin rush than standing up in front of 350 strangers in a sequinned bra.
2. I’ve lived on three continents, and traveled to 32 countries. Hope to add a few more!
3. I prefer to make up recipes than follow them from a book, which is sometimes wonderful, sometimes appalling, but always unique.
4. The only sport I can regularly watch is cricket, although I might be willing to make an exception for baseball if it were on TV here.
5. I am a highly skilled, Class-A procrastinator. No job too big to put off.
6. I like to draw and paint, but don’t get enough time.
7. I don’t much like the colour black, and will only wear it when I have to.
I’d like to nominate the following bloggers for this award. They are listed in no particular order, and are all great sites. Please go an check them out! 🙂

Thank you Kasia. Heaven only knows when I am going to be able to pay this forward! 🙂

I wouldn’t worry about it too much – great advice there from me, who tossed and turned all last night thinking about it!
It is a nice way to stay in contact with people though.
Thank you for the nomination. I can’t wait to write my post about receiving the award again. I won’t let you down! By the way, I have a weird obsession with belly dancing, and it is so cool that you’ve actually performed in front of people! Go you!
Thanks! It was nerve wracking, but I came off stage absolutely beaming. I’d post a picture, but it’s too embarrassing. If you have a chance, definitely give it a go.
I definitely will. I think I might take the chance to sing in front of my fellow students on my trip in Ireland. Nothing says Irish like singing in a pub. So, I will attempt to do my ancestry honor while I’m there. 🙂
You do that! Sounds very atmospheric. A few Guinesses probably wouldn’t hurt either.
I don’t know how much I will have of those. They say it tastes the best coming from Ireland, so I will keep my hopes high. If not a couple shots of whiskey will cure my nerves. 🙂
I’m so delighted by this that I think I may actually explode! Thank you so much – I can’t wait to get writing about it. 🙂
I’m chuffed to have made your day! But don’t explode – it would be too messy to clean up. 😉
Thank you very much! 🙂
You’re most welcome! Well deserved.

Thank you so much… very very sweet of you. Congratulations on your award for your short story.
You’re very welcome! I always enjoy seeing what you’re up to. 🙂
Congratulations on the award and many many thanks for the nomination! What an honour! Now, I’d also like to confess that I, too, am a highly skilled, Class-A procrastinator. High five! 😉
We should form some kind of club..when we get around to it. 😉
Thank you for accepting the nomination. I’ve enjoyed reading your blog and you deserve the nod 🙂
You’ve done a lot of travelling. 32 Countries is a lot to get around. And I have been known to watch a LOT of cricket. It’s good to write in front of!
Happy blogging.
Thank you! 🙂 Well, that 32 was spread over a decent period of time – they are not all places I’ve visited as an adult.
Personally, I find the cricket a great soundtrack in summer if you are working in the garden – haven’t tried to write in front of it!
Congratulations. It is fun to learn more about you. Now, of course, when I see your gravatar, I will think of belly dancing. 🙂
I appreciate the nomination. Thank you.
You’re most welcome! I always enjoy reading your blog. Particularly like the post recently about having ‘flounce’ in English. 🙂
Hello Kasia!
I cannot tell you what a delight it was to receive your nomination for a Versatile Blogger award – the blushing cheeks!
I have been terribly remiss in not following the rules (or even acknowledging your note – egad) but intend to promptly. My beloved blog is a small part of my busy life and the other parts have been quite demanding lately! I’ll be back soon and again, thank you so much!
S.
You’re most welcome! I completely understand about it being a part of busy life – I try to stuff it in around working. 😉
