An Award

Yay! The wonderful Vicky Walters gave me this Liebster Award. Thanks!

Here’s how Liebster works:


- I list 11 random facts about myself.

- I’ll answer the 11 questions asked of me by the person who nominated me.

- I will then nominate my 11 picks for the award, along with my 11 questions for them to answer when they post a response.

- If you’re nominated, your name/link will appear at the bottom of this post along with the questions I come up with.

- Follow the same format; paste the award badge to your blog, give us 11 random facts about yourself, answer my 11 questions, and choose your nominees…but you cannot nominate the blog who nominated you.

11 random facts about me...

1. I can't cook. Okay, I know how to do it, it just doesn't come out the way I want.
2. I am terrified, like, terrified, of those creepy crawlers that look as if they got hairs sprouting out of their backs.
3. I had a Britney Spears moment and chopped off my hair. Okay...not all of my hair, but I took the scissors to it and cut it myself. And you know what?  It felt real good. Liberating. No idea why. It's something I always wanted to do.
4. I have four kids. No epidural. Scared of needles.
5. I'm a Taurus. Bull-headed.
6. I learned how to drive stick shift before automatic.
7. I hate camping. Tents, outdoors...bugs. Nope. Not for me.
8. I'm thinking of getting a tattoo, but see #4
9. I can listen to a song over and over and over and over if I like it enough.
10. I love watching the making of movies. Yes. I sat throughout the making of the extended version of LOTR.
11. I have no eye-hand coordination. Can't play Xbox to save my life.
