My thanks to author
Penny Rader for sharing the concept for today’s post. Visit Penny at http://starlakayeromance.com/pennyrader/
I'm Liz Flaherty and this is who I am. I hope you’ll share your answers—as few or as
many as you like—with us.
I AM wife to one, mother to three and their spouses, and Nana to the
Magnificent Seven. I am a Christian. A writer.
I LOVE reading, sewing, laughing, babies, walking, food.
I HATE bullies and mean people. (This was Penny’s answer; I saw no way to improve on it.)
I FAIL miserably at many, many things. The joy is in the trying
I RESIST dusting, writing synopses, and having the TV on.
I DREAM OF my house cleaning itself.
I BUY books, fabric, shoes, clothes, presents.
I COLLECT Christmas ornaments.
I DRINK Diet Cherry Coke, water, and tea.
I CRAVE peace, a waistline, author contracts that are author-friendly.
I HAVE blessings. Many of them.
I NEVER learned how to deal with conflict—I’ll walk a mile to avoid it.
I’VE LEARNED to enjoy every minute—there are no do-overs.
I TRY to always be happy.
I MISS my mom, my friend Dottie.
I LIKE alone time, family time, traveling.
I FEAR water and closed spaces.
I CANNOT RESIST babies and spring and fall days.
I EAT nearly anything that doesn’t get out of my way.
I REGRET that I wasn’t a better daughter.
I CHERISH my family.
I DEPLORE intolerance.

What a great idea for a blog!!! Nice to get to know you better, Liz!
ReplyDeleteHi, Sara! Thanks for coming by.
DeleteThat IS a great blog post idea. I too, crave a waistline. :)
ReplyDeleteI just visited YOUR blog, Patty http://pattyfroese.com/ It was so funny! And, hey, good luck with the waistline.
DeleteWhat fun, Liz! Loved it! And I just may steal the idea from you at some point.... ;)
ReplyDeletePS: I'm with you on the resistance - can't resist babies, spring/fall days either.
DeleteLOL. Go ahead. I think Penny told me she "borrowed" it in the first place!
DeleteThat I did. From the RWA chapter Couer de Louisinae’s Tete-a-Tete newsletter. I think Dixie Gaspard put it together. I found clippings I'd saved from 1993-1994 newsletters and thought it'd be a great tool...both for us to get to know each other on our Bits & Bytes blog (http://bit.ly/LHy5jp), but also for creating characters. So glad you had fun with it, too.
DeleteThanks for sharing with us. It's a great way to get to know someone better.
ReplyDeleteHi, Brenda. It was kind of fun to do, too!
DeleteHi, Liz!
ReplyDeleteLove this! Wish I had time to play, but my day is running short.
Hi, D'Ann!
DeleteI WISH...I had time to fill them all out. But I don't. Still, a great blog idea! :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't even MEAN to when I read it, but then it was...fun. Thanks for coming by!
DeleteLiz, ditto on bullies! I also can't stand rude behavior and people who have no respect for the elderly. As for food, I never met a shellfish I didn't like :)
ReplyDeleteI love shellfish, too, but they're work sometimes and I'm nothing if not lazy!
ReplyDeleteGreat blog! I am first and foremost, a child of God. I try not to be an embarrassment to His kingdom, but I know when I mess up (by usually putting my foot in my mouth), He sees me as pure white and forgiven.
ReplyDeleteGreat post, Liz. It's like a snapshot of whats in your head :)
ReplyDeleteAnd to see the things we have in common. I also will walk a mile to avoid confrontation--which isn't always a great idea since I'm in management and sometimes I have to get over myself for the better of my store and employees. But, boy do I fret about it. Fortunately those times have been few and far between.
I'm tickled you took the idea I borrowed and ran with it, Liz. I loved learning about you. I'm especially fond of the Magnificent Seven -- I have seven grandkiddoes here on earth and two in heaven.
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh 'cause I resist having the TV off -- the house is too quiet otherwise, plus I'm a TVholic. (Watching the Olympics' gymnastics as I type!) I'm totally you with re: conflict. I do just about anything to avoid it. Maybe that's why I have to work extra hard creating it for my characters.
