I've been slow responding to two tags, one an award and one a meme. So today's the day I reveal all to you.
Yes! I've won an award. Drinks on me. Fellow writer Danica bestowed the Kreativ Blogger award on me. (Picture me kneeling in humbleness as she sets a crown on my head. It's a sparkling, red crown, by the way.)
It's fitting that I post about it this week because in order to officially win my award, I have to tell you six things that make me happy. Six thing's for which I'm thankful, in other words. Without further ado, I give you the six (in no particular order):
1. My sexy husband for being sexy, supportive, loving, godly, and all-around amazing
2. My church, for accepting and loving me though I often make them furrough their brow
3. Claire (my piano) for inviting me to play (and takes a pounding without complaint)
4. Scarves and soft yarns
5. Working from home, whether it be teaching flute and piano lessons, writing/editing for Solomon Summaries, or working on my fiction--I love setting my own schedule and getting to be alone for the most part
6. My online community--you let me be alone when I want to be alone and keep me company when I want company, and you get me
Bonus: Christmas music! (And by the end of this week, Christmas movies!)
Tag number two: a meme. This one comes from Tina Howard. She's created a meme inspired by the book, Me, Myself, and I AM: A Unique Question and Answer Book: The Story of You and God. Though I haven't read the book, I'm happy to participate in the meme. Basically, she asked that I link to the book (which, you can see, I've done above), answer one or more of the following situations (to be listed below), and invite others to join.
The situations are thus:
- If I’d been Mary or Joseph holding Jesus for the first time, I’d have been feeling:
- If I’d been a disciple traveling with Jesus, I would have asked him:
- If I’d been at the Last Supper, I would have said to Jesus:
- If Id’ been the first person to the tomb after Jesus rose from the dead, I would have:
- If I’d been with Jesus after the resurrection and realized he would be returning to heaven soon, I would have:
Here are my answers:
If I'd been Mary holding Jesus, I'd have been feeling this slipperyness and nasty film--someone needs to give him a bath. And speaking of baths, when's the last time that donkey's had one? Wshoo! My poor nose. And where's the Tylenol? Don't they give out Tylenol in this place? And will someone stop that incessant drumming? Can't this guy see I need my sleep? Oh dear, here come shepherds. What the heck? Hasn't any one heard of privacy?
If I'd been at the Last Supper, I would have said to Jesus, "Please pass the wine, man."
If I'd been the first person to the tomb after Jesus rose from the dead, I would have said, "Whoa, man. What's the fuss? Tell me what's a-happenin'!"
In the tradition of not following directions, I tag no one and everyone. If you're still around this Thanksgiving week, join me in what if. If not, Happy Thanksgiving!
... on the Christmas music. In fact, my Littlest has decided IT'S TIME. She's been playing the music and then trying it out on her dulcimer.
Only you can be so irreverent, and yet so darn funny! Thanks for playing along. I really enjoyed reading your answers!
Technically, "Please pass the wine, man," isn't a question. You know, because you bow in submission to the grammar police and all. Though that's what I'd have said, too. ;)
