The flower of Midlife sifted through faith, family and heaping helping of southern fried chicken.

Good morning.

I was out of bed at 4:30 to run. Just discovered an email from my running partner that she is not going to be able to join me. She was up all night with sick child.

Since I’m chicken to head out at 6 a.m. in dark by myself, I’m going to blog about this ~  my favorite time of day.

“Are you my pal, Mister Scholarship Winner?”

Okay. I didn’t win a scholarship, but I won a Kreativ Blogger Award. So I got that going for me.

Which is a lot more than I had 5 minutes ago before I read Sena’s comment.

Many, many thanks to Sena. I love her blog, http://flirtingwith30.com/. 

I flirted with thirty. And have been happily married to him for 16 years since 1993. I can related to many of her humorous observations. Well, if I was hip and living in London in my late 20s. But isn’t a part of us still in our late 20s living in London? Check out her fun.

On with the rules which must be followed are:

1. Post the award on your blog. 

2. Give a thank you shout out to the lovely person who bestowed the Major Award upon you. 

3. Pass the award on to seven people who you think deserve the title of Kreativ Blogger.

 I have picked 5, like Sena.

http://www.annegreenwoodbrown.wordpress.com/ Anne G Brown. Love following her on Twitter. She an attorney – who actually practices. I bailed on that. She’s incredibly talented. The kind of talented  I could get jealous of, if I wasn’t so darn talented myself. Or just maybe I’m just lonely. Can’t decide.

http://www.partsnpieces.typepad.com/  Billie Hara’s blog. She’s incredibly bright, a university professor no less. Love her photography. She’s a gifted person and lover of all things Bruce.

http://www.goodybastos.blogspot.com/ Elizabeth Bastos. A super creative writer. What I love most is her lusty ponderings on food. Reading what she writes about food is more fun than eating. That’s saying a lot.

http://www.extraordinary-ordinary.com/ Heather King. Writer, photographer. And budding videoblogger. Need I say more?

http://www.momontherun.net/ Janice…the mom on the run North of the border. It’s hard not to stay inspired to keep running by reading her posts. And she has my most favorite profile picture of all time. I love the bra.

Okay.

4. Name seven things about yourself that others don’t know.

• I love raw broccoli and hummus. Like unnaturally love it.
• I have an identical twin who lives under my bed.
• I have $45.38 in my checking account.
• Ringo is my favorite Beatle.
• In my dreams, I am a world class surfer. One that dolphins love to surf in front of and sharks treat with respect.
• I did not make my bed today. (God love my husband.)
• And I secretly love to mow the lawn. It so very uncluttered the way the cut grass looks. It’s the only thing in my life that I can make look that amazingly neat with very little effort.

  5. Don’t forget to notify your seven five bloggers about their award and post a link to their blog.

Thanks Sena. This was fun.
