Did You Receive the Honest Scrap Award?

I did– and you might have, too.

What is the Honest Scrap Award, you ask? It’s not really an award at all, just a little game. The ever-wise, ever-kind Ginny Ray of Obi’s Sister nominated me and I’m flattered that she thought of me. The rules, in her words:

1. Thank the person who “nominated” you and link back.
2. “Nominate” seven more bloggers to spread the happiness.
3. Tell ten honest things about yourself.

I’m following Ginny’s lead and nominating all ladies:
“AlexaShrugged”
Kristen Wright
Karen Untereker
Kim Priestap
Cassy Fiano
Lorie Byrd
Tabitha Hale

So, just for fun, here are 10 true things about me, largely relating to the literary and performing arts:

1. I competed internationally in Irish dancing as a wee one–and studied the fiddle, the folk harp and the bodhran, as well as traditional Irish singing in both English and Gaelic. (See #2.)
2. Despite the last name, I’m much more Irish than I am Italian.
3. I read and write poetry on a regular basis. My favorite poet is Jane Kenyon.
4. When I met Ozzie Smith, I told him that I cried at his last game. He said, “Me too, kid.”
5. I am afraid of heights. (Want proof?)
6. The name for my business was born from a rejected idea for my dad’s banquet facility in St. Louis, Mo., Rose of the Hill.
7. The highlight of my trip to Paris in 2004 was reading The Sun Also Rises in Les Deux Magots, the old stomping grounds of Ernest Hemingway himself.
8. I performed in six productions at The Muny, America’s oldest and largest outdoor theater.
9. I’ve been hospitalized for a number of severe allergic reactions, most recently to N,N-Diethyl-meta-toluamide, or DEET.
10. I studied ballet in Russia in 1997.
