Sharing The Sunshine

 

Marny Copal nominated me for the Sunshine Award. Marny has written Freeblood, vampires and witches, oh my. You can learn about Marny at her blog or Goodreads. To check out her book on Amazon, just click on the cover.

Thank you for the award Marny. I love it. Isn’t it pretty?

The Sunshine Award is presented to “bloggers who positively and creatively inspire others in the blogosphere.”  I love spreading the word about the books I read, the authors I meet and whatever else I think is interesting. I am surprised and humbled by the award.

Here’s how it works (and feel free to adjust as necessary):

1. Announce your win and link back to the person who nominated you.

2. Display the award logo on your blog.

3. Answer the list of questions. (You have two choices here: Kimberly’s questions or Honoré’s. Or feel free to mix and match.)

4. Nominate ten bloggers for the award and link to them.

5. Let the bloggers know you’ve nominated them.

Kimberly’s Questions

What inspired you to start blogging?

My sister Laura at fuonlyknew. She introduced me to Goodreads and the blogging came right behind it.

How did you come up with the name of your blog?

I wanted something simple and a play on my name, thus fundinmental.

What is your favorite blog that you like to read?

I would have to say it is Laura’s, my sister. She always has a new book or author to expose me to. She is great with interviews and very creative with her questions. There is always something going on over there. Be sure and stop by to check her out after checking out Marny.

What is your dream job?fort pickens biking

Retirement, so I have the freedom to do whatever I want. I love wandering, whether it is on location or in my own backyard. I never go anywhere without a camera and book on hand. I love sitting on the patio, reading or blogging, taking a dip now and then to cool off.

Is your glass half full or half empty?

Half full. I love my life.

If you could go anywhere on a week’s vacation, where would you go?

I love the Caribbean, but have been wanting to go to the Keys for a very long time.I don’t have a lot on my bucket list, but the Keys is somewhere I feel a kinship to.

What food can you absolutely not eat?

Shellfish. I have an allergy to them. That’s funny, living on the Gulf Coast and can’t eat shellfish. ^_^

chocolate candy photo: candy chocolate-candy.jpgDark chocolate or milk chocolate?

Milk chocolate is my favorite, but there is no such thing as bad chocolate. M&M’s. MMMMMMMMMMMM

How much time do you spend blogging? In other words, are you one of those lucky people who can dash off a blog post in no time, or do you take forever on one post to get it just right?

It usually takes me a while. I tweak and tweak. I want it just right and always feel a little flutter in my tummy when I push the publish button and run to the post to check it again. LOL But, if I need to get it done and quickly, I can do that too.

Do you watch TV? If so, what are some of your favorite shows?

All right, I confess. I am a TVaholic. I am watching NCIS as I write this and it is 8AM on Memorial Day. I’ve probably only seen this episode once or twice. lol I love sitcoms, like Big Bang Theory, 2 Broke Girls, 2 1/2 Men….The Mentalist, CSI, all of them, Perception, Person of Interest, Supernatural…..

Honoré’s Questions

Favorite color:   Probably my favorite would be blue, but I love red,. I do plant a lot of red flowers.

Favorite animal:   I’m a dog lover, but don’t want the pet commitment at this time. No critters allowed.

Favorite number:   9, It is variations of 3 – 3×3,6+3,3+3+3…..

Favorite non-alcoholic drink:  Water.

Facebook or Twitter:  Superbrain, my hubby, started me a Facebook account a while ago. I don’t do a lot on Facebook, so I’d have to say Twitter.

Your passion:   Reading and photography, not necessarily in that order.

Giving or getting presents:   I am awful about both. I think you live every day and I don’t feel a need to celebrate gift giving only on holidays. If I want to give someone something, I don’t need a reason.

Favorite day:   A sunny and warm one.

Favorite flowers:    I love a profusion of color and a faint aroma that rides on the breeze. I seem to pick mostly red. No specific favorite.

    • You are welcome Taylor. I always look forward to your posts. Congratulations.

  1. Awesome post, Sherry! The award is much deserved. M&M’s are high on my list, but I’m a slave to chocolate in general. 🙂

    • Thanks Marny. It was fun doing it. Now I keep staring at the bag of M&Ms sitting on the kitchen counter and keep telling myself NO. It’s for dessert, not lunch. LOL

  2. Thanks so much Sherry:) I’m your sister and didn’t know about some of things you answered! lol
    You award is perfect as you do spread sunshine:)
    Don’t you dare touch those m&ms. Superbrain probably counted them!

    • You are very welcome Laura. You know you are my fave. ^_^
      I’m glad I can still surprise you. lol Thanks so much for your nice words. I feel the same way about you. Yeah, I think superbrain weighed the package. LOL
