Many thanks to fabulous author Maggie Jaimeson who recently bestowed my blog with the Sunshine Award. I am truly honored.
The Sunshine Award is a lovely, sunny flower that bloggers give to other “bloggers who positively and creatively inspire others in the blogosphere.”
And, of course, there are rules. . ..
(1) In your blog post, thank the person who gave you the award.
(2) Do the Q & A
(3) Pass on the award to 10-12 deserving and inspiring bloggers, inform them, and link to their blogs.
And now, for the fun questions.
Favorite color: Rainbow! Rainbow counts, doesn’t it? ‘Cause, really, with all the pretty colors out there, how’s a girl supposed to choose just one? That’s like asking me to pick one favorite outfit out of my closet. Are you kidding me? Have you *seen* my closet?
Favorite animal: Males. Specifically, the human variety. Hunky, intelligent, does dishes, laundry, vacuums, and makes dinner, too. I know, I know. This one’s really rare. (Hubby likes to remind me that I write romantic fiction.)
Favorite Number: 37 — The number of rejections I’ve received. So far. Rejections make great wallpaper, I’m told. A few more and I’ll be able to redo the hallway. . ..
Favorite Non-alcoholic Drink: Grande half-caff Americano. No room. From Starbucks. Served by a hunky, male barista named Antonio or some other Italian-type dude with a super-sexy accent. 🙂
Facebook or Twitter: FB. Definitely. I’m a writer. Words are my friend, but seem to be on Twitter’s bad list so they’re limited. *Insert scowl*
Your passion: Can I really say? I mean, isn’t this like a PG station or something? There are some things better left off the Internet!
Giving or getting presents: It is better to give than to receive – unless you’re me! Seriously, I get a kick out of both. The giving part’s obvious – it makes me feel good. The getting part shows the thoughtfulness and caring behind a gift. I love that!
Favorite Day: Everyday (What? It has “day” in it, right?)
Favorite Flowers: Live ones. ‘Cause, really, dead ones don’t do much for me.
So in the spirit of the Sunshine Award, I pass this on to the following bloggers who’ve made me laugh, made me cry, made me think or just plain old inspired me with their posts. I don’t know if or when they’ll accept the award, but I do hope you’ll drop by their blogs and enjoy their interesting, and fun, perspectives on life! (And I guess I’d better let them know they’ve been nominated, huh? Note: if you’re reading this and I haven’t gotten to you yet – surprise! I’m posting this then packing up to head to Starbucks so I can finally wrap up my book. Later!)

Bravo Melia et merci de m’avoir nominée. 😉
First congratulations and thanks Melia again for this huge compliment of this morning……. I was very happy about receiving it. I appreciated it greatly and I wish you a beautiful evening! 🙂
I love your answers, and your blogs! Very deserving of the award. 🙂 ~ Viola
Great answers… and “rainbow” can be a color. YES. Now off to go finish my sunshine list 🙂
Merci beaucoup, mon amie! Et pas du tout. Your blog is so chic and so fun! I’d try to write that in French, but I can’t find my dictionary. 🙂
Hugs,
Melia
Thank you! So happy you stopped by today! 🙂
Hugs to you, dear friend!
Melia
Miss Viola! You’re so sweet. Thank you! Hope the writing’s going well for you, and that we’ll get to eyeball each other soon. Miss you!
Hugs,
Melia
See! I knew it! Thank you, Jamie, for the validation. 😉 Looking forward to reading your list!
Hugs,
Melia
I’ll promise it and than normally I do it, thank you again having nominated me! A big kiss from SérachShirò 🙂
You made me smile so VERY big today reading your answers. Of course, rainbow is a color. I just wished I had thought of it. 🙂 And for those 37 rejections, I saw “Pshaw, what do they know?” I had 49 rejections before my first book was contracted. Now I don’t get rejections anymore because I send my books directly to the readers. Lately I feel like Sally Field. “They like me, they really like me!”
Happy Sunshine Day, Melia!
Aww, thanks, Maggie! And thank you again for nominating me — this was such fun!
A world without rejections sounds like pure bliss, BTW. Good for you!
Hugs,
Melia
a big congrats and a bigger thank you!!! xoxo (love the rainbow answer too…you know I have a rainbow obsessed 5 year old right?!)
Thank you. This is such fun!
And you’re so welcome – can’t wait to read yours!
BTW — Rainbows are the only way to see the world. *grin* Your little one is rightfully obsessed!
Hugs,
Melia
Such fun answers! I never considered Rainbows as a color, but now that you have mentioned it – of course it is! The best color of all 🙂 Thank you for the nomination. I was surprised and then did a happy dance around my house.
So happy you stopped by, Kylie! Clearly, you’re one of the ones I’d forgotten to talk to about this. *sigh* Sometimes it’s difficult to keep up with the details of life, you know? 🙂
I’m so looking forward to what you’ll post as an official Sunshine Award recipient. Get to it!
Hugs,
Melia
Congratulations – your answers are amusing and I’m sure put a smile on everyone’s face (mine too) – thanks for visiting my blog and here’s wishing you lots of sunshine!
Thank you! Hope you have a fantastic week, Kim! You’re in France – what’s not fantastic about that? 🙂
Cyber hugs,
Melia
