Just kidding.

Sweet Jenny from DIY with Jen and B has nominated me for the Liebster award.  (Thank you!)  What is this award?

The Liebster award is given to up and coming bloggers who have less than 200 or so followers.  What is a Liebster?  The meaning: Liebster is German and means sweetest, kindest, nicest, dearest, beloved, lovely, kind, pleasant, valued, cute, endearing, and welcome.

This is what I have to do:

 1. Each person must post 11 things about themselves.
2. Answer the questions that the tagger set for you plus create 11 questions for the people you’ve tagged to answer.
3. Choose 11 people and link them in your post.
4. Go to their page and tell them.
11 Random Things About Me:

1.  I’m a list girl.  I cannot properly complete a task until I make a checkoff list.

2.  I primarily eat Paleo, but sometimes cave to my weakness for pizza, ice cream, & Reece’s PB cups.

3.  At 4 years of age, I was chased by a headless chicken.  (Thanks Pawpaw!)

4.  I quit my job as a registered nurse one month ago…by choice…blessed that I am able to take a break.

5.  Has a soft spot for the elderly…something about their wisdom and the way they look at me with that “Bless you heart” look…ha!

6.  Wants to visit beautiful Ireland.

7.  I was raised a country girl…turned to a wannabe city girl…and now finally returning back to her roots.

8.  I Crossfit.

9.  I am happily the “man” of the house…I do all of the housework, home repairs, etc. (Thanks Mom!)

10.  Would rather do my own nails than get a mani.

11.  Used to hate hydrangeas, then used them in my wedding, now it’s my favorite flower.

Not sure why it was so hard to come up with that stuff!

Questions from my nominator:

1.  What was your last dream about?

Oh lordy…in my last dream…I was rock climbing…with a chicken.  

Haha!  I think I dreamed that because we are about to get some chickens!

2.  How do you normally start your day?

I wake up and let the kiddos out to potty…make breakfast…then plop my booty on the couch with some coffee and the laptop.

3.  What is one thing you are really good at?

Sleeping.  I can sleep anywhere at anytime.  Actually…I can feel that changing as I get older…

Wow…these questions are making me sound super lazy!

4.  What is one thing you are not so good at?

Time management.

5.  What’s one thing in life you wish you could change.

I’d change all of the hatred into love.  How better would this world be then?

6.  What does your dream house look life?

7.  What’s the worst hairstyle you’ve ever had?

So…this is a bad pic…but clearly you can see that terrible bowl cut that my thick hair did not agree with!

8.  What one item to you insist on splurging for?

My Aveda facial products…it has worked wonders for my long battle with acne!

9.  What was your least favorite job and why?

Carpet mill.  It was exhausting and I would wake up every morning with extremely swollen hands…plus, I was the only one who spoke English!

10.  What advice would you give to new bloggers that you have learned from your experiences?

Be prepared to give up a lot of your time!!

11.  What is your favorite blog post?

From my own blog…I guess I have to say the post that was everyone else’s favorite…
