Happy Sunday (and happy belated Fourth of July!)

I didn’t bring this up in my monthly wrap-up, but this month is extremely busy for me. So I decided I might as well knock some tags off my list and nominate this month Tag July for my blog!

(No one said I was good at naming things, okay?)

We’re going to kick this month off - rather ironically - with the Versatile Blogger Award.

1. Thank the person who nominated you. Jenna, thank you so much!!

2. Link to the blog of the person who nominated you. Done!

3. Share 7 facts about yourself. *gulp*

4. Nominate 15 more bloggers for the Versatile Blogger Award. Oh, shoot.

ANYways, on to the actual award/tag itself! I tried to make these as random as possible, so we'll see how this goes.

I’m not even kidding. This year, I decided not to cut my hair, and my usually-chin-length hair has gone past my shoulders and IT IS ANNOYING. I need to learn how to put it in a ponytail soon, or else I might possibly die.

When I was in first and second grace, I was OBSESSED with codes and ciphers and anything to do with spies. That interest has since waned, but I still want to write a book including these elements.

For some reason, one year I decided to go out for our local softball team. (I’d never played it before - unless you count games of Catch with my brother.)

Yeah . . . that year was interesting.

I did end up improving significantly - from not hitting the ball at all to hitting a few fouls and then getting walked several times. XD Our team won the championship (easily) and I won the Best Sportsmanship Award. (Honestly, that was probably because I was the worst person on the team.)

I know a lot of people in this blogosphere are homeschooled, and I find that really cool because I only know, like, three homeschooling families in our area. But I, in fact, am not homeschooled.

(Just in case you didn’t know. XD)

If you asked me to pick any series and tell you my least favorite book in it, it will almost ALWAYS be the second book. Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, even KOTLC and LOTR . . .

Trust me, there have been many days over this summer that I’ve wished that I could exterminate every single bug in the universe. I HATE THEM. So if we’re outside together and you hear me scream, it’s not a mass murderer, it’s just a fly buzzing past.

Yes, that mega series about cats living in the forest. I’m a member of THAT fandom.

Admittedly, I haven’t read the books in FOREVER, but I’ll have to read them again soon. I love the characters so much!

If I’m late in responding to comments, I’m sorry! Currently I’m in a place with spotty Wi-Fi.

Hope you have a great week!
