I have been awarded The Very Inspiring Blogger Award by JCKeith. Thanks Ms. Keith!
Here are 7 things about me:
1. Some of my interests include writing, freelancing, poetry, and bettering myself. My nominees will reflect these interests.
2. I don’t listen to a lot of music. I am not sure why. I like it, but don’t listen to it on a daily basis. I would rather read!
3. My grandparents are no longer here, but my parents are!
4. I once had the coolest hamster, Mickey, who did not know what his “wheel” was for. He used to hang onto the cage bars with his feet and one hand, and spin his wheel from the outside with the other. It was hilarious!
5. I had a pet rabbit, Bunny Bunny, who chewed through cables and wires in the apartment. Bunny Bunny met her demise when I gave her to a family who lived in the country (on a trial basis) and their youngest child ran across a freshly-washed floor while holding Bunny Bunny. They both went flying, and Bunny Bunny’s neck snapped. That was the end of Bunny Bunny.
6. I love pizza with mushrooms and pineapple on it. From Pizza Hut. With the cheese put on last. Cooked lightly done. Their breadsticks are pretty good, too! (Ok, Pizza Hut, where’s my free pizza and/or breadsticks?)
7. I love chocolate (who doesn’t?), but only the light kind. I think I have gained Twitter followers due to this love! (Either that, or because I often posts links that are helpful to others!)
Here are my nominees: (I know that there are more than 15. I included a few extras since I know that not everyone will accept this award and just could not decide who to cut!)

Hey, Lorraine!
I’m back, finally! I thank you VERY much for the award nomination… I would love to accept it – is there a time-frame for it? I am back from a loooong travel around and have so much catching up to do on my work and blogging and commenting and replying that i really have no idea when i will get to writing a blog post about this award…
and by the way, i am not writing about freelance writing – well, freelance, yes – but not about the writing part… more of freelance 101 (for whoever is wondering where to start from or how to make the most out of it) and marketing (as that’s what i do).
Diana, there is no time frame, as far as I know. Write the post whenever you want, just follow the “rules”!
And, you are welcome!
Congrats Lorraine on the award and thanks for awarding me, too!! Your description of my blog is so nice – I’m glad you agree about what is really important to life x
I think that’s one of the reasons we get along so well, Christy—we are a lot alike and seem to have the same morals and values!
Your Bunny Bunny story is quite tragic! When I was a kid, my parents insisted I was no longer taking care of my two rabbits (which was an utter lie). They ended up giving my bunnies to my great-uncle who I later found out slaughtered them and ate them. Poor bunnies get no respect!
When I had Bunny Bunny, I came home one day to find my babysitter making stew. He told me it was rabbit stew. Naturally, I freaked out and began yelling at him! However, he was playing a joke on me.
I have heard that rabbits taste a lot like chicken. Ugh. I could not imagine EVER eating my pet!
I know that Bunny Bunny met a horrible demise. Poor thing. 🙁
Hi Lorraine, I’ve been out of pocket in an isolated area and just now had a chance to stop by. That was such a sad story about your pet bunny. Thank you so much for thinking of me and all your wonderful support. 🙂
Stop by anytime, Susan!
I just wrote a reply to Jeri about Bunny Bunny. You might want to read it!
I don’t belong to Bloggers Helping Bloggers for nothing, you know! 😛
Congratulations Lorraine!!
Thanks, Debra!
WoooooHooooo! Way to go, Lorraine!
Thanks for the enthusiasm, Toby! 🙂
