SO, LisaB/TaderDoodles of Too Busy 2 Clean gifted me with my first blogging award, the Beautiful Blogger Award (which seems to be more of an award of blogging sisterhood more than a denotation of content of particular merit, but hey, I’ll take it!) which brings with it a few dangling strings. The first is simple, to thank the kind giver of this award, which I can do most genuinely. Thank you, Lisa/Tader! It gave me the warm toe-wigglies!

The other rules require a little more effort on my part and tolerance on yours, so please indulge me for a moment here:

Here are rules to accepting the nomination:

1. Thank the person who nominated you
2. Copy the award and paste it on your blog
3. Link to the person who nominated you for the award
4. List 7 interesting things about yourself
5. Nominate 7 beautiful bloggers

Seven interesting things about myself? Hmm. That’s a toughie! I’m shooting from the hip here, so please hold your incredulity or annoyance until the end:

1. My eyesight is so bad (-9.5/-10.0, severely astigmatic) that I’m not a candidate for Lasik. The myopia part is correctable with content, but not the astigmatism, so my depth perception tends to be pretty wonky and/or nonexistent at times.
2. I’ve been to England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Italy, Austria, and Hungary, but not Canada or Mexico.
3. I can write in cursive with my toes.
4. I have been told (by a professor of Middle English literature) that I have flawless Middle English pronunciation.
5. Two of my three children were both at home, unassisted, in my master bathroom (on purpose).
6. My writing credits include role-playing game supplements about cults and articles about multi-cultural hair and skin care. Yes, a little bit of breadth there.
7. I don’t have a single email in my inbox right now and it makes me feel absurdly powerful.

I read the blogs of many lovely homeschoolers from all walks of life. They’re religious and they’re secular. They have many children or just one or two. They have beliefs very much like mine or vastly different. I think they’re all absolutely spiffy and delightful, so choosing just seven was an impossible task. That said, the seven Beautiful Bloggers I nominate are:

Daisy at The Quiet Life
The Mama at Concordia Classical Academy
Heathen Mom at Heathen Homeschoolers
Foursquares
Jenn at Classless and Lovin’ It
Saille at Grassroots Homeschool
Summer at Grace from Above

Patchfire didn’t make the list because she was nominated by someone recently.
