But I Smile Anyway…

I only posted an acceptance of this particular award last night, and lo and behold who should come visiting again???

Awarded 6/7/15

This time I was blessed with the Dragon’s Loyalty Award from the lovely Lisa of Rebirth Of Lisa. Thank you so much Lisa! I really appreciate it! And if you haven’t already, please go check her blog out, it’s amazing!

“The Dragon’s Loyalty Award is an award for the loyal fan/commenter, whether the recipient is a fellow blogger or just a someone who follows and comments regularly.”

The Rules

1. Thank the giver and link their blog to your post.
2. Pass the award on to other bloggers of your choice and let them know that they have been nominated.
3. Give 7 facts about yourself.

Uh Oh! I had this problem yesterday… What can I tell you about myself??!!

7 facts about The Ritu!

1. I am a Hottie!  And by that I am by no means bigging myself up! I am really a ‘hot’ person, and I can’t cope in the heat1 I get sticky and sweaty with the mildest of heat, and it ain’t a pretty sight, lol! And I have just realised that my dear daughter is the same… try washing and drying thigh length, thick hair every day… she gets so hot, her hair is saturated by the end of the day!
2. I had laser eye surgery around 5 years ago… and it was the best thing ever! I wish I had had it done sooner, but I don’t know now I managed with glasses for so long!
3. I went to Jamaica and swam with dolphins, one of my items on my bucket list! I swam with one called Skye, and it was amazing!
4. I love ironing! Yup, I know I am strange, but it’s true! but men’s formal trousers, and me, we don’t go! I manage to add several creases where there should be one sharp one!
5. I met my hubby at university, and he was younger than me… yup, I bagged myself a toyboy! And you know what they say, you’re only as old and the man you feel! ;P
6. I love to eat watermelon!  Don’t you just love that crisp, fresh taste? Mmmmm….. oh, I could do with some right now!
7. I’d love to write a successful children’s book, and go on to write more… then travel around doing workshops with school children, to inspire writing!

There you have it!
