Y'all.
The funny and colorful Kristen over at Mama Winkle's Blog nominated me for a blog award!
The
Liebster Blog Award is given to bloggers by bloggers. It is a way to
acknowledge each other and say “You're all sorts of awesome." It's only for
blogs with 200 or less followers, so it’s also a great way to spread the
word about smaller blogs and get them more readers and followers! When
you receive the award, you post 11 random facts about yourself and
answer 11 questions from the person(s) who nominated you. You pass the award onto 11 other blogs (make sure you tell them you nominated them!)
and ask them 11 questions. You’re not allowed to nominate the blog(s)
who nominated you!
My 11 Random Facts:
1. Harry Potter is my favorite book series, hands down, but Philippa Gregory is my all-time favorite author.
2. I love pretty much any beverage or food with lime. Diet Coke with Lime, gin & tonic, Bud Light Lime. I haven't bought them in ages, but the tortilla chips with lime. Yummy.
3. Before last summer, I thought koozies were the most stupid thing ever. But now I have at least one in my purse at any given point in time, and I rarely drink canned beverages without one.

4. I started questioning my sexuality in middle school. I finally realized I was bisexual halfway through my senior year of high school. I never told a soul until one fateful evening in London, many many years after I'd graduated high school.
5. I like to eat fresh fruits and vegetables, but I don't like to prepare them.
6. I miss being paid to cook dinner for myself and three kids. I ate so healthily last year. I'm already struggling to maintain a good diet cooking for one. =/

7. I have a thing for elves. I think Legolas is the sexiest Orlando Bloom has ever been.
8. I am so blessed to have the friends that I do, but sometimes I feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of good friends I have. I worry that I'm not a good enough friend to them. I wish I could spend more time with each of them.
9. I don't understand people who carry a balance on their credit card unless it was for an unexpected emergency expense. Example: when I had to pay for six cavities all at once. Or for a gap in income. I get paid this week for the first time in seven weeks. I'll pay off my Visa in full easily, but I'll have to carry a balance for a while on my American Express (but I currently have 0% APR). And this wouldn't be an issue at all if I hadn't needed to spend about $500 in medical expenses. It's just not that hard to spend only what you earn.
10. Sometimes the boyfriend and I skype, but don't really talk. We each do our own thing and just comment if we feel like sharing something. I just like seeing the little video of him in the corner of my screen. #lesigh
11. I calculate my gas mileage every time I fill up. Lately it's been really good, about 28-31 MPG, but today it was only 25 MPG. To quote my bestie: boo hiss!
