A Blog Award! I'd like to thank the academy...and Stephanie!

I'm really honored to receive a Blog Award for this young blog and I'm very grateful to Stephanie at She's In There Somewhere for giving it to me. Now, I need to tell you seven things about myself and then nominate seven other bloggers.

If you've read my "About Me", then you probably already know more about me than you want to! But, Here goes:

1. I'm hoping to join the Master Gardener's program through University of Minnesota this winter.
2. I am a crazy cat lover! When I'm through mourning the loss of my cat, we're going to get a kitten, to complete our family of two dachshunds and us.
3. I love autumn and Halloween.
4. I am very patient with people and completely impatient with objects (especially those that need to be assembled).
5. I believed in the Easter bunny until I was about ten years old.
6. I still believe in fairy tales, but not so much the "some day my prince will come" kind. More like "the Goose Girl," "Bluebeard's Egg," and "East O' the Sun, West O' the Moon."
7. Speaking of which, my academic hero is folklorist Jack Zipes. My dog is named after him.
