I’m with Sunny…still haven’t figured out who Liebster is or what he/she has to do with blogging.
Here are the rules:
1. Thank the person who nominated you and post a link to their blog on your blog. Ummm…thank you? Cali…I still love ya Seriously, thank you...it was very sweet of you to think of me...I feel honored.
2. Display the award on your blog by including it in your post and / or displaying it using a "widget" or "gadget". done
3. Answer 11 questions about yourself which will be provided to you by the person who nominated you. I’ll put up the questions…not sure I’ll answer them all.
4. Provide 11 random facts about yourself. People…I’m not that interesting
5. Nominate 5 to 11 blogs you feel deserve this award, who have less than 1000 followers. (Note that you can ask the blog owner this since not all blogs display the widget that lets readers know this information. Now…anyone that knows me, knows that I’m not big on following rules so you shouldn’t be surprised that this is not gonna happen.
6. Create a new list of questions for the blogger to answer. Are you sure you want me to do this?
7. List these rules on your post. Once you have written and published it, you then have to: Have to? Really? Ha!
8. Inform people/blogs that you nominated that they have been nominated for the Liebster Award and provide a link for them to your post so they can learn about it (they might not have heard of it!)
Here are Cali’s questions:
1. What kind of music do you listen to in the car? I usually listen to classic rock and roll…the louder the better! And do you sing along? Oh yea, I sing along and dance while I’m driving!
2. Do you have an item of clothing that you love but your spouse/family hates? If I do, no one has been brave enough to tell me!
3. Favorite season? Spring…if it’s warm and there are no tornadoes and Fall if it’s not too wet and cold.
4. Favorite movie? Too many to name just one...really depends on my mood.
5. Strangest food you ever tried? Strangest by my terms or strangest by others? I don’t consider rabbit, squirrel, ground hog or shark strange but others do. I, however, do consider it strange that anyone would voluntarily eat fois gras…and pay high prices for it!
6. Least favorite chore about the house? Oh haven’t you heard…I’m allergic to housework and laundry and ironing and… That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!
7. Do you have a hobby? I have several…blogging, reading, painting, attending auctions, and making jewelry are the main ones.
8. Favorite guilty pleasure? Nope…don’t feel guilty about anything I enjoy.
9. Favorite vacation destination? Several…I love New Orleans, love the Caribbean, love cruises and of course, love anywhere my grands are!
10. Favorite thing to eat? food! Oh you meant a favorite food? Hmmm…nope can’t name just one…I love my veggies and seafood and bacon and chicken and fruit and.... Oh and if you start talking about types of food…Caribbean, Mexican, Italian, Chinese, good old fashioned Southern, and of course chocolate...DARK chocolate!!!!!! Yup, I do love my food…and yes, the scales do reflect that.
11. What song takes you right back to high school? How about what songs…here are just some I’ve heard on the radio the past few days that I can remember.

Eleven random facts about me...
My mom gave me a cookbook for Christmas one year titled “Any Bitch can Cook” when you open it, you see this same definition!
If a song comes on that I like, I have a tendency to dance and/or sing when I’m shopping in Wal-Mart or the grocery store. My sons won’t walk with me when I do!

Oh My Goodness Cat!!
ReplyDeleteI love your answers and I love your sense of humor! (guess that's why you are the perfect 'giggles' blogger!) Yah, I know that it took a bit of time, but it was so worth it, wasn't it? Well, at least for us readers. :)
I love your taste in music, I love singing loud in the car - I don't dance in WalMart, although I do smile at those that do.
I totally agree with your take on housework, spinning in office chairs, mornings and sleeping with a foot out of the covers, lol.
You are a real delight - thank you for being a good sport!!
hugs,
Cali

Happy you enjoyed my answers Roz. I love the Boss along with tons more music...that's why I couldn't list one favorite and just listed what I could remember that had played on the radio while I was running errands. Have you ever seen Chuck Berry perform My Ding-A-Ling? I get a case of the giggles every time. ;)

I didn't know you were a grandma. They seem to get cooler all the time (maybe mine were secretly into spanking - just kidding. Scary thought though I think it's genetic.)
ReplyDeleteGreat answers! I loved your spin on the 11 facts.
Surprise Leah! Yup...I am the grandma of two of the most beautiful little girls...can ya tell I'm a bit partial. LOL
DeleteHappy you enjoyed my answers. ;)
Hugs and Blessings...
Cat
This was wonderful and it was fun to learn some new little treasures about you. I am allergic to dust, but somehow it still doesn't get me out of doing laundry or dishes...it does however get me out of dusting...so nobody does it. :-) and I totally understand about the one foot out of the covers - I am the same way. Other similarities too. Thanks for sharing. Hugs
ReplyDeleteOoh Terps...sorry you are allergic to dust...that has to be miserable. Happy to hear I'm not the only strange one that likes one foot out. ;)
DeleteHugs and Blessings...
