Stylish Blogger Award

I've been so busy over the past year that I have really been neglecting this blog!  I promise I will write a new post by tomorrow and henceforth I will try to write at least one post a week here.  I haven't forgotten about my fellow history buffs, and I apologize for my absence!

My blog won an award today!  Can you believe it?  I certainly didn't think that was going to happen. Thanks to L. Carroll for giving me this award:




Thanks L!  If you haven't checked out L's blog, then click here to see what she's all about.

The Stylish Blogger Award has some rules so here they are:
1. The awardee must thank the person who bestowed the honor.
2. The awardee must list 7 random facts about his or herself. See bullets at bottom
3. The awardee must pass the award on to 5 new blogging buddies. Um....I don't really have blogging buddies on this blog, but I'll pick some from my other blog :)  Winners listed under bullets.
4. The awardee must contact the winners to inform them they won.

Random facts about me:
  • I am currently in graduate school working on 2 separate M.A. degrees:  Religious Studies (Medieval Christian history) and History (Public History concentration).
  • I intend to pursue further graduate study when I wrap up my current degree programs--this time in maritime archaeology.
  • I am fascinated by pirates (Too cliche?  Maybe.).
  • I have presented papers at some pretty big and important academic conferences.
  • One day I want to write a work of creative non fiction.
  • When I'm completing research, my workspace looks like a library threw up.  Books are stacked in the floor, on the bed, on the desk....in chairs, on shelves, pretty much everywhere.  I also have random scraps of paper and several notebooks sprawled across the room and my laptop open to about seven different tabs (and Word).
  • I love the History International channel, but I'm not a big fan of the regular History channel
 Winners:
1. Rebekah:  Identity Crisis
2. Ginger:  Green Tea Ginger
3. Adrianne May:  On the Road Less Taken
4. Bettina:  Bettina's Wonderland
5. Jessica Lei:  Metahypnosis

Congratulations to the winners!  I wanted to draw attention to some blogs I think are great that many of you may not have ever read before.  So go ahead and take a peek at the winning blogs!
