Last week, Miss Musing awarded me the Kreativ Blogger award. Thank you so much Miss Musings you really made my day. I found out that you had nominated me while trying to keep warm in Toronto last week. You really know how to spoil a girl.
Miss Musings said that she felt I deserved this award because "these are some very talented bloggers whose creativity shines through in their writing. What I admire most about them is their ability to write in a unique and interesting way in a voice that is all their own."
The directions for this award say I have to list 6 random things about myself and then pass it on to five other deserving bloggers.
OK here it goes six random and hopefully interesting things about me...... hmmmmm
1) My last name was almost Odgen not Aston. I am the first born generation Aston. When my father was 11 years old he chose our name Aston, after his favorite car the Aston Martin, when my Grandfather decided to change our name due to some family dealings in England. (Which is another story all together.)
2) I truly believe in deja vu, fate and things happening for a reason.
3) I have been dying my hair for so long that I cannot remember what my true hair color is. I used to look like snow white with very pale skin, blue eyes and dark brown hair. I have been red, all shades of brown, black and now it's highlighted. Thank you to my family members for taking pictures of me as a child so I have proof of what my natural color really is.
4) I do much better in the cold weather then in the hot weather. I think it's much easier to throw layers of clothing on then to cool down after you've over heated.
5) If I could I would skip meals all together. I would just eat dessert or chips for each meal. Tell me am I alone in this?
6) I hate horror movies. Cannot stand them. I am that one girl in the movie theater that jumps every time a scary thing happens on screen. I even jump at scary movie previews.
Now for my five nominations for the Kreative Blog Award. Drum roll please....sure sure it's great just being nominated. Each of these bloggers have such a unique way of kreatively telling their story as they see and feel it. I keep learning from all of you.
Tag your it.

Congratulations !! You indeed deserve it.
Thank you so much Cuckoo!
Laura, curtsey and a slight blush :) Thank you. I'll find a unique way to honor your gift...
Thank you for the tag. This one will be very interesting for me to do. You will see the results this coming Friday.
Hi Laura
I just had a peek at your most recent cable car post.
When I was at the age for being picked up in public I used to catch what we called a Sydney 'tram' - your cable car? One night after work I fell backwards from the running board when the impatient driver pulled the signal before the big crowd had got on. I was carrying a bag and a very large book and that didn't help me.
I landed on my knee (which is still dicey today)and a crowd gathered as I sprawled full length. I couldn't wait to say I was fine to get out of there!
Perhaps I should have learned to ski ...
Thanks for visiting 70 Plus and Still Kicking. By the way in past lives I was a corporate public relations manager a job that included marketing, and worked as a journalist for years.
