Liebster Award Blog!

I would like to Thank Lorna K @ www.lifewithraisapain.com, Kim M @ www.exquisitelyunremarkable.com/   and Julia @ www.savingmummy.com.au  for nominating me for this award! I am sorry that it took so long for me to accept it...I REALLY do appreciate the nomination!   So here you go Lorna, Kim, Julia, and the rest of the blogosphere! Happy Liebster reading!

Answers to Lorna K:

1.      Why did I create this blog?  Hmmm…well I needed a way to vent about all of the stupid crap that goes on in my life and what better way than to have a bloggary on the Web! J

2.      On average how much time a week do you spend blogging or doing blog related activities?  I probably spend about 5 hours a week blogging…I am new to all of this so I am kind of a dork when it comes to blogging and what I need to do to get my posts read…hence my post about how I am a Twitter challenged!

3.      What is your favorite season and why?  Well, my favorite season is Winter because I am a shameless shoe whore and I love to wear all types of boots!

4.      What do you like the most about yourself?  I think that what I really like about myself is that I really try to take everything with a grain of salt and not try to be too serious about life and all of the craziness that can consume you if you let it. 

5.      Who is the most important person in my life?  Hmmmm…well you all are going to laugh because I rant about him so often, but that would be my clueless, time challenged, husband who is in a first place tie with of course my four year old daughter and our dog Buster!

6.      What type of music do I listen to most? Well…I listen to pretty much everything…which is obvious because all of my posts have very random artists that I listen to…from country to R&R, classical, to Sam Cooke (who is really my favorite artist if truth be told!).

7.      What is your most prized possession? I think that it would be my wedding ring and my digital photos on my computer.

8.      What is the one thing that gets on your nerves? People who are always Debbie Downers and feel like they need to bring me down with them!  L

9.      What do you love most about your followers?  That they think that I am funny because my husband seriously DOES NOT!  HA!  J

10.  Have you become close friends with your followers?  I have just acquired some followers and I hope that I become great friends with all of them.

11.  If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?  I am such a perfectionist control freak that sometimes, I get too “wrapped around the axle” and just need to understand that it is OK to have things that are not quite perfect…even though it will drive me crazy, sometimes I just need to let it go.
