Seven Things About Myself
Did you attend my Christmas Party in July? If so, you might remember that one of the party events was The Versatile Blogger Award. It's nice to share the awards around, so I haven't duplicated any honorees today. As Christmas party hostess, I was so busy caroling and nibbling on fruitcake, that I forgot to follow all the VBA rules. Here then, are the factoids that I left out:
1. I usually don’t talk about myself unless I’m asked.
2. However, I do talk on and on, when someone shows an interest!
3. My life has been filled with the good things that mean the most to me: love of God, my wonderful husband, and our precious children.
4. We have a crazy orange calico cat who is an “eating machine” and a very loud meower. His name is Rusty and he’s nearly fifteen. (Our third child.)
5. Reading, blogging, theology, bible study, gender, educaton & learning style theory, art, photography, interior design, food, and travel are my passions.
6. I also love aerobic dance, jazzercise, hiking, boating, bicycling, and beach walking. Oh, and laughing!
7. The best conversations with girlfriends are all about interesting articles, experiences, and information. But I’m happy to talk about our feelings too.

What a pretty, perky award!! big hugs to you...and thanks for passing it on...I know just who I want to pass it on to!
Oh e-Mom, I adore you. Thank you for thinking of me. Your marriage Monday meme is always a delight and I look forward to it every month.
You are my sister in so many ways and now aerobics. Love it. It's a hint we will likely be dancing often in heaven. BIG hugs. Thank you. Love, Lynn
Thanks so much e-Mom! This really blesses me. Your blog and heart for marriage has blessed me for a long time. Thank you!
Hello
Thank you for the kind thoughts and encouraging words. Reading down that list of amazing women I felt honored to be listed among them. So many many women of integrity.
Your cat sounds like the comedian of the family. Marriage Monday is a wonderful meme that helps us to all reflect on the joys amidst the reality of life. That it is all real can be difficult but always worth fighting for. In a day and age when girl friends find pleasure in bad mouthing and defending themselves we need more time focused on healing union rather than undermining it.
See you next month.
Thank you so much!! I can always use some sunshine. Blessings to you!!!
Bless you for thinking of me, love you dear.
Well, thank you very much! I am thinking about who brings me sunshine in my life and I think I know just the right person!!
Connie
Faith, Lynn, Julie, Donetta, Toia, Denise, & Constance: You are deserving honorees. Thank you again for your support of our Marriage Monday meme. Love you! ღ
Ha ha, I have a furry eating machine too, she is a silver tabby. The vet says she must lose more weight. It's an on-going battle of wills in my house.
Re Facebook, I had a look and there is already a Buffy's Salon on there and it's not me!! Do you get much interest for Chrysalis on Facebook?
Buffy: Those cats! Gotta love 'em...
As for Facebook... How strange there's another "Buffy's Salon!" If you sign up for a personal account, you could go by your personal name. It's a lot of fun to get to know people there... it's on a more casual level than blogging--I have almost 100 "friends," so there's always something going on.
Did you know I also have a "Fan" Page? You don't have to be a member of FB to check it out. Here's the link:
http://www.facebook.com/ChrysalisCafe
Stop by and write on my wall!
Blessings, e-Mom
