Winner, Award & Fred, Oh My!

And the Splash into Summer Giveaway Hop is...
"Winning!"
A special "spank you" to all the minions that entered my Splash into Summer Giveaway Hop!  And now let's get down to business.  "Drum roll, please." And the winner is... Valia L.   As mentioned, the winner will be allowed to choose one of the following killer books:  Richelle Mead's The Golden Lily, (which releases June 12th) or Lauren Oliver's Pandemonium.  The winner will be notified via email and will have no more than 72 hours to respond before another winner is drawn. The contest winner was selected by the reputable Random.org.


Kreativ Blogger Award
Michael Pierce gave me an awesome blog award last week.  Thanks, Michael!  It's called a Kreative Blogger award and I think it's coowell!!  


Anyway, here's how the award works:
Thank and link back to the person who presented you with the award.
Answer the ten questions below.
Share ten random facts/thoughts about yourself.
Nominate seven worthy blogs for the Kreativ Blogger Award.


What is your favorite song?
Right now, I'm love'n The Black Keys. My favorite song is Little Black Submarine, but I had to post the Howlin' For You video.


What is your favorite dessert?
Chocolate covered pretzels


What ticks you off?
When I procrastinate!  


When you're upset, what do you d--
It depends how upset.


Which is/was your favorite pet?
Duh...Fred is the one and only. :)


Which do you prefer, black or white?
Um, black. That's another duh, right?


What is your biggest fear?
I have too many.  I'm a mother so I'd say my biggest fear is with my kids. I could go on an on, but I think you get the point.  Aside from that, I think I have a ridiculous fear that I suck at novel writing.


What is your attitude mostly?
I prefer to look at the bright side of things, but have a tendency to see the bad.  Dammit, do you see my problem?


What is perfection?
Perfection is in the eye of the beholder.


What is your guilty pleasure?
Books


Ten random things about me... I know I'm cheating, but I already did a 10 random post that is here. Check it out.


I'm passing this award onto:
- Gina Gao


If you don't get  a chance to participate, don't worry!  If you can, try to have some fun.


Fridays with Fred

Watch out, Fred!

Those were some great answers, I hope you had fun. :) procrastination really ticks me off too...then when I'm upset, I can't concentrate...then I procrastinate more. It's a viscous circle. Have a great weekend!
