Thanks to Holly Jahangiri of It's All a Matter of Perspective for my Kreativ Blogger award. Hug. (I agree, what is UP with that spelling? Agh!) Here's her reasoning:
"'Home is where the fart is.' Well, gee. Who isn’t made happier by a good fart? Heather approaches the art of happymaking with a quirky, enthusiastic, slightly twisted zeal I admire, even as it leaves me exhausted just thinking about it. The way she looks at life – sometimes upside down, sometimes sideways, sometimes just a stolen glance from her peripheral vision, and sometimes through the bottom of a beer bottle – never ceases to leave me smiling, scratching my head, twisting up one corner of my mouth, and pondering things from a different perspective. She’s got a lovely family, too. Her husband, apparently, has the patience of a saint. He must like “kreativ” women."
Seven Things About Me That People Might Find Interesting
(So hard to come up with these because I'm an open book and y'all already know all my secrets.)
- During the day, I spend 20% of my non-computer time playing with and cuddling my kids, 30% on picking things up and putting them away, and 30% on searching for missing dinosaur feet and Dodger hats.
- My favorite drink is a Cadillac Margarita made with fine tequila like Patron or Herradura, and real lime. Ahh...
- I almost never wear shoes and my feet reflect that.
- I have two dogs, a Dachshund named Greta and a Chow/Shepherd mix named Jack
- The Twilight series rekindled my love of reading, (after I had my kids it was either read or sleep), and spurned a new interest in fiction writing.
- Piano music takes me away to faraway places and fills me with sensations of deja vu.
- Our son Joe's middle name, Hunter, was inspired by Hunter S. Thompson.

ReplyDeleteHeather, grown up women should read Laurell K. Hamilton and Anne Rice. What's up with this Twilight series? Why do I have this niggling fear that if I read it, teen vampires will suck out my brains with a bendy straw?
ReplyDeleteOkay, if THAT's what it took to kindle or re-kindle your urge to write, so be it - can't be all bad!
Thanks, Helene! Me either. I'm frothing at the mouth.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading Charlaine Harris right now. It's great, but doesn't hold that element of surprise for me since I've been watching True Blood.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to hate Twilight. Like really, really badly. In truth I only purchased the Twilight hardcover because I wanted to sew and sell Twilight book covers since I was aware of the phenomenon. A lifetime reader I hadn't read for years so maybe that's why it hit me as hard as it did. Who KNOWS. It did the job, eh?
Ahh but True Blood doesn't follow the book series exactly so there should still be a few surprises ;)
ReplyDeleteA creative award should be allowed a little creative spelling, right? ;)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Heather! Totally deserved!
