Cathy at A Bit of the Blarney was kind enough to grace this blog with an award for having an "exceedingly charming" blog. How very sweet! Here's the text relating to the award:
"This is how the award works: This award is bestowed on to blogs that are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award."

I'll get to the blogs I'd like to recognize in just a moment, but the award also asks that I tell 7 "random" things about myself. So...
1. I was born and raised in Pennsylvania, but have lived in North Carolina for 30 years.
2. I love animals, have 2 cats, but am deathly afraid of centipedes.
3. I've got far-flung tastes in music, enjoying John Michael Talbot, James Taylor, Antonio Vivaldi, and Aaron Copland almost equally.
4. My husband and I share a love of the Durham Bulls, seldom missing a game, but neither of us liked the Bull Durham movie.
5. One of the best books I've read recently is Come Be My Light, which tells about one of my heroes, Mother Teresa.
6. I love being a nurse - it's been a profession that has given me joy, tears, and challenge in equal measure.
7. I'm hoping to go on a cruise in January - for the first time in my life - but need to hit the diet trail in a big way first or no bathing suit for me!
Now here are the 8 blogs I love the best and check the most:
1. An Eye For Redemption - Kansas Bob's perspective
2. Ask Sister Mary Martha - The funniest nun you'll ever meet!
3. Conversion Diary - Consistently good stuff here.
4. Roman Catholic Cop - Whatever you think you know about cops, this guy is lots better.
5. A Holy Experience - Visit here for a double dose of divinity.
6. Altered - A woman's struggle to remain faithful in the midst of her battle with Lou Gehrig's syndrome.
7. June Cleaver After A Six-Pack - This lady is funny, and has a talent for finding pix of some of the best eye candy around!
