THE LIEBSTER AWARD
I was nominated for a Liebster Award! Time to CELEBRATE! See ya later! Just Kiddin! It’s a nomination given to smaller bloggers by other smaller bloggers . It’s a fun way to be recognized and acknowledge other bloggers, and help readers discover great content as well!
I was nominated by Angela over on Setting My Intention. I accept, Angela! Thank you so much!
THE RULES:
- Link back to the person who nominated you. (done)
- Answer the questions given to you by the nominator. (fixin’ to do)
- Nominate up to 11 other bloggers with less than 200 followers. (oooh, now I gotta do math???)
- Create 11 questions for the nominees. (hope it’s ok if I cheat, and use some of Angela’s!! Thanks, girl!)
- Notify all nominees via social media/blogs. (sigh, more work?? Just Kiddin! Y’all know I love ya!)
QUESTIONS FOR ME:
1. When did you start blogging and why?
August 2014. Because I needed a way to force myself to start cleaning my house! (And I love to talk about myself!)
2. When you’re not blogging, what would we find you doing?
Ummm, reading other blogs! Napping! Playing with Pudding Pop, my grand baby! Last but not least,
eating!!
3. What book are you currently reading?
The Bible. I try to make sure I read it every day.
4. What’s your favorite food?
That’s a hard one. I love nearly every food I’ve ever put in my mouth! Except octopus, and squid! I don’t like feeling like things are trying to crawl back up my throat!
5. What’s your favorite way to exercise and get movement in your day?
Does typing count? Doing finger plays with Pudding Pop?
6. How do you relieve stress?
Getting a massage at my chiropractor’s is always good!
7. What is your favorite thing about blogging?
When people read it, and comment! Comments are oxygen to me!
8. What is the most challenging thing about blogging?
The technical aspects of it. Trying to figure out how to do something that I want to do, and don’t know how.
9. If you were gifted $150, how would you treat yourself?
Go out to dinner at Ling’s. Buy a good Christian book. Buy something purple.
Spend at least $50 of it on Pudding Pop. (Are ya sensing a theme here? That little girl owns my heart!)
10. What is your favorite quote or saying?
John 3:16 “For God so loved the World, that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

PURPLESLOBINRECOVERY,
Thank you for nominating me. I am honored but I have to respectfully decline your kind offer. I already had refused the nominations from the others and it would not be fair if I accepted yours. Thank you again.
Here. I answered the questions.
1. When did you start blogging and why?-I wouldn’t call myself a blogger? I just copy and paste anything I find interesting and want to share the find I found?
2. What is your favorite childhood memory?-Riding in my dad’s semi trucks.
3. What book are you currently reading?-I don’t read books anymore. It’s all internet now.
4. What’s your favorite color?-All colors.
5. What’s your favorite guilty pleasure?-Guilty? I pretty much do all pleasure without guilt?
6. Close your eyes, and describe a vivid scent memory.-Books.
7. What is your favorite thing about blogging?-Playing with it?
8. If you could travel anywhere in the world, no cost, where would you go?-Travelling down Route 66.
9. Why did you choose that particular place?-Retro! Love any thing retro.
10. If you were gifted $150, how would you treat yourself?-Red Lobster!
11. Miss America, how will you bring world peace?-I wouldn’t bother because there’s no way it can happen?

Thanks for answering Thumbup. I know, right?? Red Lobster would pretty much take the whole amount!! 😉
Yeah, I don’t think world peace is going to happen either, until the Millenium, when Christ rules the earth for 1000 years.
