Molly nominated me for this last week, and I feel so honored and thankful to her as a friend. 🙂
**Obligatory Rules**
Copy the Beautiful Blogger Award logo and place it in your post.
Thank the person who nominated you and link back to their blog.
Tell 7 things about yourself.
Nominate 7 other bloggers for their own Beautiful Blogger Award, and comment on their blogs to let them know.
So here’s my 7 things:
1. This isn’t really new, but I don’t like peanuts or peanut butter.
2. I was a band geek in high school because I sucked at basketball and tennis, refused to run track (haha! That’s come back to bite me.), but was determined to have a letter jacket….which I still have…
3. Was able at one time to quote the movies The Wizard of Oz & Steel Magnolias by heart from beginning to end. I can still heavily quote them.
4. Slept through 2 tornadoes when I was a kid. This is significant because I had the same type of meltdowns over the possibility of a tornado as I did over spiders.
5. I remember my school closing after this Titan II missle explosion, and if memory serves me correctly, it was because our school was being used as an evacuation shelter. The Damascus silo was in the next county, but there were 3 in my county, the closest one being less than 3 miles away from our house, as the crow flies. That would be considered in the ground zero range, just fyi. And yes, I knew that growing up, and knew that it was a reasonable assumption that the Soviet Union had a matching ICBM for each of ours, targeted at ours.
6. Made it to 6th place in the county spelling bee in 1983. I misspelled consternation. I haven’t since. 😉
7. Went through 3 different majors in college, and had 3 different minors with the second major. First and last majors did no require a minor, but I could have gotten a minor in management with my final major if I had taken just one more management course (personnel management).
- 1st major – Pre-Pharmacy. Turned out I hated biology and wasn’t too excited with chemistry.
2nd major – Computer Science. Assembly language and discrete math killed me. Only 2 F’s that I left on my transcript.
- 1st minor – Math. I dropped Calculus III after the first day, and Abstract Algebra the day of the 1st test…and changed minors.
2nd minor – Industrial Technology. This was fun, but I wasn’t going to have enough upper level credits.
3rd minor – Business Administration. I only got as far as the basics – Accounting & Economics – before I changed majors.
3rd major – Industrial Technology. Except for the management aspect, it was like shop class only college level.
Here’s my 7 nominations, in no order, and without holding them to having to participate knowing that they are all busy. 🙂
Diane and Mel (whose employer won’t let her have a personal blog). They have blogged separately and together off an on, so I list them together due to the parenthetical statement after Mel’s name.
Ok, I know that is more than 7. I couldn’t narrow it to just 7. Sorry. Seriously, I almost added more. 😉
It’s always nice learning about your blog pals. Let’s see I went through two different majors in college; Nursing and Business Finance. 😉
In grade school, I did well in spelling too, still do, although at times you’d never guess if you check some of my blog posts. Yeah… I need to learn to proofread my personal blog posts more. 😉
Thanks for including me, not sure if I’ll get to this today. I’m rearranging my room. I moved my bed to the other side of the room to give me more space. My bedroom is my sleeping/crafting area. Anyway, it looks a mess right now. Huge pile of clothes that I threw on the floor. I’d take a picture, but I’m to embarrassed by the mess I caused in about an hour, lol.
I see your majors were as unrelated to each other as mine were. 🙂
Same here. Spelling and grammar…and logic. 😉
No rush, and I won’t even hold you to it. 🙂 It took me a week after Molly nominated me to get it done. haha My bedroom is just a mess, and there is no reason other than just not caring enough to clean it up when I have the opportunity. :sigh:
Thank you for the nomination! Isn’t it funny how that one word you couldn’t spell is now one that you never misspell? I used to misspell the word “misspell” all the time. I don’t know why. Always forgot an “s.” Although I had no trouble spelling much longer and trickier words. Band geek, huh? Well, at least you had an early start with music that still is with you to this day. I wish I had an earlier start and that it came easier to me.
You are welcome. 🙂 Actually I use “Band geek” loosely as I was only in band my senior year. 😉
:wail:
What???? :huh:
