One Lovely Blog Award

I was given the One Lovely Blog Award from the lovely Kelly Hashway. Thank you, Kelly!


I have to give 7 random facts about myself. So, don't laugh. Well, you can laugh, just don't pee yourself. They are all in the past, way back in my early childhood. I even called my sister to verify some of the details being that these events happened so long ago I'm shocked I even remembered them.

  1. When I was three, our home had a crack in the wall at the top of the stairs which always haunted me because from the bottom of the stairs, the crack looked like a finger pointing at me to come hither.
  2. Also, when I was three, I tasted dog food out of our dog's food bowl because I thought it smelled like Chef Boyardee Ravioli, which was my favorite.
  3. When I was five, my mom bought me a large bag of cheetos curls. Out of pure generosity, I shared with the kids that let me play tag with them. They swarmed around me like bees, grabbing handfuls of the cheesy snack. When all was done, I didn't get one single cheese puff. I went home crying.
  4. I almost died when I was five. My sister and I, along with one other friend, drifted across a dam in a Japanese Nishiki fishing boat until we were rescued. I elaborate in Five Things About Me.
  5. I was really young when I ate an ant. I was pretending to be an anteater. It must not have been fully dead because that evening while watching television and picking my nose, I pulled the ant out in a bed of mucus.
  6. My sister once asked me to eat something that resembled a Hersey's Kiss because I had a reputation for eating things that people asked me to try. It's a good thing I smelled it first! You guessed right. It was a small turd.
  7. Another young one, because it's easier to admit to my idiosyncratic ways when I'm able to blame it on my age. I had a pet toad that weighed around 2 or 3 pounds. I tied a string around its body (two front legs) to use as a leash. I took it for a walk every day, until it died.

  4. Congratulations on your award, Diane! And many thanks for honoring me with one. I truly appreciate it! :D I'm familiar with some of those blogs & will be sure to check out the others.

    Now, as to your ant story...thank you so much for a graphic visual that I probably won't be able to shake for at least a week. LOL

    My sister was a lot like yours, except she told me it was a chocolate covered raisin. :-o

  5. I love number one! We had a shadow on the wall in my hallway and my sister and I used to say it was the staircase leading to our ghost's house in the attic. We named the ghost Harry. :)

  7. I ate lard out of our fridge when I was three. And grass. And dog food. I tried the cats biscuits last week. They were okay.

    1. You know what, I think I ate lard once too. I remember wondering why it didn't taste sweet like icing. It looked so white and glistening. There's no way I'd try that again. I did try beggin strips once.

  8. I can't remember eating anything gross when I was a kid. Maybe I blocked it out. I do remember eating a whole box of powdered sugar donuts when I was 4 a fact my father never lets me forget.

  11. I went on a blind date as a teen and stepped out of the car and slipped off the curb. My date glanced in the car window and couldn't figure out where I'd gone. By the time he got around to my side, I was wedged on the road between the car and the sidewalk. Good thing he was 6'4" and built like a football player. He had to pull me out.

    1. OMG, how embarrassing, June! That reminds me of a similar moment, only I ran into a steel pole. :D

      Your secret is safe with me. Oh wait, this is the internet! lol

  12. I think we all have these little moments in our lives, esp growing up. Kids fall into anything. I've got stories about my own kids! Anyway, Diane, I'm still going to do the challenge you sent me. Just been busy. Take care!

  13. Diane, I have linked to your blog via my new post and I'm answering the 7 Meme challenge that you gave me. However, I didn't ask you to do this one because I plan on my question tags for you next time. Thanks! Just wanted to let you know. Take care!

  14. Speaking of things coming out of one's nose. I almost spewed my coffee out of mine when I read the ant comment. That is just too hilarious for words. I haven't laughed this hard all week.

    :)
