My dear friend Pat Esden (also a wonderful author) awarded me...a Stylish Blogger award. Thanks, Pat! I'm so flattered. I highly recommend Pat's fun and fantastical writing blog where she always makes me think. You can check it out here: Pat Esden. She is well worth following. Even the late, great Pearl S. Buck is one of her fans.
Along with the award comes a few responsibilities.
1. Thank and link to the person who nominated you.
2. Share seven random facts about yourself.
3. Pass the award along to five blogging buddies.
4. Contact those buddies to congratulate them.
So here are 7 lesser known facts about moi.
1. Car chases. I have been in three. Two of these were with police and the other one ended in a crash--at least that's what the guy chasing me claimed. I didn't feel bad for him. (Thanks for the skills, Dad.)
2. I hate (despise, loathe, abhor) telling people interesting things about myself on the spot. This is why I keep a list on my iPhone, which I am now consulting.
3. I can put together a pirate costume from articles of clothing I actually wear in less than 3 minutes.
4. I convinced a religion teacher at BYU to stand on his head in front of his very large class. It's been a long time since I wielded such influence.
5. I didn't speak until long after most kids, but when I did it was in complete sentences. My mom says my first words were, "Please pass the salt, Mother dear."
6. When I was in second grade, our TV broke. I came home from school every afternoon and memorized Cat Stevens' Teaser and the Firecat album and Fleetwood Mac's Rumours. This all of course resulted in a crush on Cat's picture on the record sleeve. As my friend Vee would say, "Yowza!" Okay, not NOW but then. Give me a break. I was 8.
7. I was once contacted by an LDS Psychic spy for the US military after giving his friend's book a poor review on Amazon. I was so freaked out I seriously considered wearing a tinfoil hat to Walmart. I, of course, agreed to read his own book and gave it a five star review. In the world of Ginger, you don't mess with psychic spies. It's not like you can ever hide.
So that's me, or some of me anyway. I would love to pass the Stylish Blogger award along to these five blogging buddies. Enjoy :)

P.S. To post your award on your blog, just right click on the picture here and "save picture as." If you're on blogger, from your dashboard go into 'design' and 'add a gadget' and somewhere in the list it will say 'picture,' then you download the picture. I'm not sure how to imbed it on other blog formats. But with a little experimentation and ingenuity, you'll figure it out, because you're all a bunch of smarties.
