An Award

What a nice surprise to start 2011.  I received this award from three different people.  Thank You Heide, Renee and Lisa.  Now there are rules attached to this award.  First you must tell 8 things about yourself that people might not know and then send this award on to 8 more people.

Things about me:

1. I have been called Cec since I was 17 but my name is actually Cecylja (pronounced like Cecilia) - mine is the Polish spelling.
2. I have the most eclectic taste in music but jazz is by far my favourite and I really dislike heavy metal, acid rock and rap.
3. I love to cook and bake and am pretty good at it - at least so my family and friends say.
4. I have been retired for a year but prior to that worked in finance and accounting for over 45 years mostly in not-for-profit organizations.
5. I love to travel and am hoping someone rich will adopt me so I can do more of it.
6. I hate to exercise but walk because my doctor forces me to.
7. I have always done some volunteering and now am helping out a couple of times a month in my Granddaughter's Junior Kindergarten class, which requires an enormous amount of patience and copious amounts of headache medication.
8. I do enjoy an adult beverage while I am making dinner and the beverage of choice is a single malt scotch but I won't turn down a very dry red wine.

I am sure these are things you really couldn't wait to know - lol.

I am going to send this award on to these wonderful ladies who are just a very few of the lovely blogging friends that make my day:
