Thank you to Christine Danek for the Honest Scrap award! I just love her site, and I hope you visit it today!! For this award, I'm supposed to tell you all Ten Honest Facts about myself. (*gulp*) Okay...here it goes:
1. I worry I'm delusional and my writing actually sucks. (All right! We're off to a great start, lol!)
2. I won't join FaceBook because (with the exception on one or two examples) I'm horribly un-photogenic.
3. I've lived on three continents with my husband.
4. Even though I push my kids to learn French, I quietly regret letting them in on what has always been my husband and my secret code.
5. I have, on more occassions than I care to admit, eaten an entire pound-bag of M&Ms.
6. Rap music is my guilty pleasure and I can sing most of Ludacris' lyrics.
7. I hate housework.
8. I was sad both times I saw my children's first sonogram images and learned they weren't twins.
9. If I could afford to buy all the clothes I wanted, I would dress everyday like Jennifer Aniston in "Along Came Polly."
10. I support my kids' desire to try new things, but at her request I signed my daughter up for softball today...and I'm so not looking forward to the upcoming season!
Yikes -- now you know a lot more about me (*blush*). I'd like to pass this award on to:
Terresa Wellborn
Sarah Ahiers
Summer
Roxy
Emma Michaels
Thank you so much to Kimberly Conway for this awesome award! Visit her site, if you haven't met her already, it's a beautiful blog!
I'd like to pass this on to some of my new BlogSpot friends, each of which has inspired me this week:
Natalie Bahm

Also, I want to thank my friend, Piedmont Writer for the Happiness Award! I had just gotten it the day before, but I will be sending it out to blog friends this week. In the meantime, visit Piedmont's blog -- she's got a wonderful, authentic voice and her documentation of the query process, where she is right now, will help writers of all stages in the game.
Thanks to all of you for these awesome blog awards!! I appreciate my new friends so much :))

Hi Nicole,
I just have a few things to say about your (always awesome) post:
- Your writing is fantastic. But at the same time I felt a wave of relief, knowing I'm not the only one who worries about sucky writing.
- I'm also un-photogenic but for Facebook you only need one pic. That said, though, I'm sure not trying to sell you on that evil site. lol
- Time for you and your husband to take Swahili lessons.
- Good luck with the softball thing. (Glad it's you, not me.) lol
Have a great week!
Erin
Erin, you're so funny! Believe it or not, my husband and I both speak Sango, a central African dialect spoken up and down the Ubangui River basin. Unfortunately, it's not a language easy to express yourself in. LOL
And FaceBook, ugh. I have four gorgeous sisters that post movie star style pics of themselves. I just can't, won't compete!
Thanks for visiting, sweetie!!
((hugs)) Nicole
Congrats on the awards. I'm new, but I totally think you deserve them!
Oh my goodness, those have to be the most honest answers I've ever seen for that award. And I like you so much better for it. I worry I'm delusional about mu writing too (I wonder if that feeling ever goes away?)
And thanks for the award! :)
Nicole -- Thanks for the shout out. And I'm glad I'm not the only one who admits to hating house work. lol I'm sure there are thousands more of us.
Congrats on your awards, Nicole! And I loved your answers... LOL. : )
Congrats on the awards - great answers. I'm sooooo with you on hating housework. I'd love my writing to earn me enough to let me hire a cleaning person!!
I always have awkward-face-syndrome in photos...
Congratulations, and thanks for passing it along! :-)

Thank you for the blog award! I'm honored!!
I love M&M's, too, and just bought 2 large size bags this morning. They are Valentine's themed and I couldn't pass 'em up, although I'll have you know I put the 3rd bag (peanut butter and strawberry flavor)!!
Congrats on the awards. :)
French is an awesome secret code. And, even if it's not top-secret anymore, it's still fun.
Congratulations on your awards, Nicki! Kind regards.
