First off, Alex Cavanaugh at alexj.cavanaugh.blogspot.com It didn't take me too long to notice Alex was always the first one to comment on all of my posts, and from what I've seen from being around the blog world is that mine isn't the only one. I have no idea how he does it. Alex, you humble and amaze me.
D.L Hammons at Cruising Altitude 2.0 DL, I love visiting your blog, from your amazing stories, to your encouragement, to your Write Club; yours is the one blog I never want to miss.
Micheal DiGeshu at In Time. If you haven't been to this man's blog yet, you should. He is so encouraging- and a great resource for writers.
John at The Bathroom Monologes. John frequently posts short stories and snippets that are full of tension and turns, leaving me always eagerly waiting to see what he comes up with next.
Brandon and Bryan at A Beer for my Shower. I just found this one and I can't get enough- thanks jaybird for the recommendation. This blog is so funny! Seriously, seriously funny.
Mark Means at Left and Write. This man is brilliant. Brilliant I say.
Jay Noel at jaynoel.com. I've always connected to Jay. He is so authentically real.
Now seven things about me:
1. I met my husband when I was fifteen. He was twenty-one and the finest thing I've ever seen, before or since.
2. I am a psychiatric nurse and I wish I was allowed to tell the stories I see lived out everyday.
3. I went to school to be a chef (before nursing school).
4. I suffered with infertility for three years before I had my first daughter, eight with my second. My boy was a miraculous surprise.
5. I am a Christian.
6. I have never moved more than twenty miles from where I grew up.
7. I homeschool my three children.
Well that's all- Don't forget to sign up for my blogfest going on in September!
Does that mean you are a nursing chef?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, and thank you! I've received it before so I'll just graciously accept it here.
And yeah, first again. What can I say?
Congrats! You picked some fine gentlemen.
ReplyDeleteYou haven't moved twenty miles from where you grew up? Wow, I currently live over 2500 miles from my home state.
These posts are always a fun way to get to know folks a little better. Excellent group of guys to pass this award onto. And I'm sure as a psychiatric nurse, you must have the best/craziest stories to tell (if you were allowed).
ReplyDeleteWow, thanks Melanie! I didn't expect to be named at all. Totally tickled.
ReplyDeleteAlso, enjoyed your seven things. Every story I've heard from nurses in psychiatric institutions has deepened my respect for them. It must be such a trying job.
Glad you liked the recommendation of the Beer Boys. They are hilarious and two supremely great guys. I love em!
ReplyDeleteMy mom is a RN and worked in a psychiatric hospital for years. My MIL is a psychologist and an RN. Their stories are simultaneously funny and heart-breaking and would make a million dollar book deal, if they ever leaked them, for sure. But neither of them ever would. It takes a very special person to do what you do, on a daily basis. God bless you!
I'm awful at saying anything about myself. This was great! I'm a military wife, so I find it fascinating that you've never moved more than 20 miles away from where you grew up. I can't even fathom not moving! I'm also kind of jealous. It would be nice to have some roots put down!
