Sugar Doll Blogger Award



I am honored that Anne Tyler Lord at Don't Fence Me In has awarded me with the Sugar Doll Blogger Award. She is both a great friend and a wonderful writer. I am very grateful for her support and encouragement.

As acceptance for this award I must reveal ten things about myself:

1. I once worked for a man who was listed in Heidi Fleiss' little black book.

2. My ideal home would be on a cruise ship.

3. I have been held at gunpoint.

4. I am still here. (see #3)

5. I am a native Californian, so I come by my craziness naturally.

6. I have inhaled more than once, but that was many years ago.

7. I am a perfectionist.

8. I used to paint in acrylics but quit. (see #7)

9. I used to design jewelry.

10. My family keeps me sane.

I now pass on this lovely Sugar Doll Blogger Award to these friends:

Carrie Clevenger

John Wiswell

Carol Kilgore

Marisa Birns

Mark Kerstetter

I hope you'll take a moment to visit these wonderful people and get to know them!

  1. Oh my goodness, you were held at gun point? You must tell more of that story. Was it the man from Heidi Fleiss' black book?

    These are great truths to give us a better picture of you - so you are a California hippie? And very creative, I see! Cool!

    We will just have fun imagining the jewelery and paintings you used to do while you were inhaling.

    If you want to be on a cruise ship, just wait until my Friday post.

  2. Holy sweetness, Batman! A Sugar Doll Award! I'm glad, for all all sakes, that the gun-thing worked out and that you're still sane...

  3. Anne - I'll probably never explain...some things are better left mysterious, you know? :) Yes, I am a hippie...

    Alan - Batman...you crack me up. :) I suppose I should have given this to Anton, since it's pink...

  4. I've been on one cruise my whole life: Carnival Cruise Lines, and I loved it. I can see why you'd want to live on a ship.

  5. What a life, Laura! You should think about writing a tell-all memoir.

    Thanks for the award.

  6. Aubrie - To be able to wake up to a new part of the world each week without ever leaving "home" would be the ultimate way to live!

    Carol - I can't write a memoir because then I'd have to kill everyone who read it. :)

  7. You're getting to know me pretty well. I've always wanted a Sugar Doll Award.

    Will we ever see your paintings or jewelry here?

  8. Mark - You were the first person I thought of... :)

    I will never say never, but it's unlikely. When I decide to throw something overboard, it's final. I loved the jewelry but went broke trying to advertise, show - all the business stuff.

  13. I did not know you were still here (see #4).

    What? What? Fine, I'm gumshocked you were held at gunpoint and I'm relieved you survived to tell the tale - or the list.

    Thank you, Sugar Doll! Let me see if I can come up with something clever with my ten...

  15. Fun facts. My family keeps me sane and simultaneously drives me insane.
