I want to start today by saying I’m embracing my smartphone and doing this blog post on my phone. The only problem I’m having is getting the photo I want into this post.

Initial shock was my reaction to being nominated for the One Lovely Blog award by Erin at OneHundredTwentyThreeDays.com. The following are the guidelines for this award.

• Thank the person who nominated you. 
• Add the One Lovely Blog logo to your post. 
• Share 7 facts or things about yourself.
• Nominate 15 bloggers you admire and inform them via a comment on said blog.

 7 Things About Me

1. I’m a runner. You probably know that but in case you missed it.
2. I am a vegetarian. This is the second time in my life I’ve gone meatless. The first was in college.
3. I have a degree in forestry and a degree in business. (Can I count that as two thīngs?)
4. I’m single and have been for a while, hence my online dating posts that appear occasionally.
5. I have allergies, which were lived with for years as I was either pregnant or nursing, so I now take allergy medication daily from April until October (longer if running in the south in March or California in October).
6. I have six children, all adults.
7. I love to cook.

Now nominating 15 bloggers is a lot but here I go.
