My friend and crit partner Ali Cross passed on this fun blog award:
It requires I share 10 things about myself.
1. I have this weird aversion to drive-throughs, if I’m driving, but the drive-through at the bank is just fine (and very essential when you’re with kids).
2. I did some ballroom dancing and acting in high school and college, and some days I miss doing them (especially after watching Dancing With the Stars).
3. My husband and I love to quote movies in our conversations or to let the other person know how we’re feeling. One of our favorite lines (from Remember the Titans) is “You’re cookin’ my grits, Yost.”
4. Though I consider myself an organized person, the thought of planning out every hour of my day (or every detail of my book) makes me squirm. I like looser outlines (or to-do lists), with wiggle room.
5. I’ve never had a real positive horse-back riding experience, which is ironic, considering I married a man who loves horses and used to train them for racing. (Still need to put training race horses into a book).
6. I LOVE chocolate, but not citrus, cherry, or raspberry-chocolate combinations.
7. I have a fear of heights and sharks – so parasailing over shark-infested water would probably not be my thing.
8. Despite the fear of heights, I rode in a hot air balloon as a kid, which was pretty cool.
9. I get motion sick very easily (in cars, on planes, watching Mario Kart on the Wii). One time my DH and I were at a movie and I had to go sit on the floor at the side of the theater because I was so sick.
10. My great-grandfather, Leslie Turner White, was an author whose books were published in the 1950’s and 60’s. One of them, Lord Johnnie, I’ve read and quite enjoyed. And though he died before I was born, we share the same birthday.
And now to pass the award on to Jolene Perry. I’m fairly new to Jolene’s blog, but I love the funny honest way she writes her posts.

Hi there- I popped over from Jolene's. Yesterday I saw that horse movie and seeing that your husband trained horses, I would be begging to learn how to ride!
I'm totally with you on the chocolate! Don't put stuff in chocolate that doesn't belong there.
Same with outlines and movie lines. My husband and I ALWAYS use movie lines.
Also – I used to ride horses – I did the show jumping for years. But I've gotten broken ribs, broken collar bone, leg, shoulder, concussions…
That and there's NO WAY my husband and I could afford it. SO cool that your husband trained race horses. I always wanted to be a female jockey but then I got too tall and weighed too much.
Wow. This was a really wordy comment.
Thanks for the award!!
Oh!! Motion sickness – my husband laughs because I can't play mario kart for more than like 30 minutes and I need the full screen and I CANNOT do the war part. I need a track. I can't ride in the backseat of a car.
Wow, and you thought my first post was rambling…
Jolene's an awesome blogger! Yay Jolene!
Your list was super fun Stacy ~ I didn't know ANY of those things about you! And we've been "hanging out" for a few years now!
Hi! I'm new to your blog, but I just wanted to comment and say how much I can relate to your list.
Aversion to drive-throughs, check. Hubby and I quoting movies (and TV shows), check. Chocolate without fruit combinations, check. Fear of heights and sharks, check. Motion sickness, check.
Congrats on your award — it was great to learn about you! 🙂
