I do think blogging can be a fun way to get to know someone. There are some girls I met in person only briefly, but I have been able to get to know and enjoy them a little more through their blogs and facebook. And in this time when I have but few friends where I am, who I don't see that often, maybe blogging is what I need. I think I will do an update blog, because life has been sort of crazy since my last post.
But for now, I was nominated for an award by Sarah! Cool right?
Here are the rules:
This award is given to new or up and coming bloggers who have less than 200 followers...the award is then passed along to other bloggers in the same category to help spread the word and support one another.
1. Each blogger should post 11 random facts about themselves.
2. Answer the questions the tagger has set for you, and then create
11 new questions for the bloggers you pass the award to.
3. Choose 11 new bloggers (with less than 200 followers)
to pass the award to and link them in your post.
4. Go back to their page and tell them about the award.
5. No tag backs.
11 Random facts about me.
1. I have a fish phobia. I can't handle being in water that has fish in it, I don't even like to be in aquariums.
2. I love Sherlock Holmes. I have read all the stories. I love the movies with Robert Downey Jr. I love the BBC show.
3. I really want to live in a rural area. But I want it to be a reasonable distance from a less rural area. That seems to be something I took away from my time in Missouri.
4. I have a hard time wanting to watch movies or TV shows I've never seen. I would rather watch something I know and love.
5. I've been dying my hair red with henna for about 6 years now. I love being a red head!
6. There are two sounds I can't stand. The sound of animals (especially dogs) licking, and the sound of people rubbing their feet on carpet. They drive me crazy.
7. I'm not a morning or night person. I'm not sure I have a best time of the day.
8. I just recently found my favorite ice cream after not being able to find it for years. It's Ben & Jerry's Oatmeal Cookie Chunk. Cinnamon ice cream, soft oatmeal cookie chunks, and chocolate chunks. NO RAISINS.
9. I can't cook in a dirty or messy kitchen. I have to do the dishes and straighten up before I can start.
10. My dream car is an old Jeep Wagoneer with wood paneling.
1. What are you last 5 Google Searches?
1. Caffeine while breastfeeding. I am very interested in this, because (spoiler alert) I am having a baby in June and I soooo want to get an iced raspberry mocha (or several) from my favorite coffee hut. And summer is the magical time of the mocha coconut frapuccino from Starbucks.
2. Cookie bars. I was craving something sweet, but we are out of $ at the moment. I was looking for something other than cookie cookies that I could make with ingredients already available. But then I was too lazy to follow through.
3. Kingdom Hearts walkthrough. My husband likes video games. Sometimes we play them together and it actually makes for a fun bonding experience. Right now he's having me play Kingdom Hearts. A walkthrough, for those not versed in video game terminology, is just a guide to help you know what to do. Which I need often.
4&5. I don't remember that far back, but almost certainly something pregnancy related.
I have a lot of old vague memories, and I'm not sure which order they go in. So I will just pick one. Putting chips on a tuna fish sandwich with my brother.
3. What is one decision you have made that you will never regret?
Following Christ. I know it's the obvious answer, but it is really true. After a couple of years of some rebellion, I had to make the decision to abandon or recommit to my faith. I chose to recommit. I am sure it is the best thing I ever could have done.
4. What's one thing you would try if you knew for sure you'd be great at it?
Owning a little tea house/shop. I would so love to create the menu and fill the shop with adorable handmade items. I know there's a lot more to it, but I still think it would be so cool.
5. "The Notebook". Yes or No?
No. Didn't care for it.
6. What would you do if you had $1 million, but only an hour to spend it?
Easy! Pay off all our student loans, my mom's student loans, order baby stuff...basically a lot of online ordering.
7. What is your dream job?
A stay at home mom who is also a doula.
8. Do you believe in "love at first sight"?
No. Definitely infatuation at first sight. I believe love is a commitment you make.
9. What did you want to grow up to be when you were a kid?
A ballerina, an artist.
10. If you could change one thing about your wedding day, what would it be?
The food. I was thinking the other day we should have had it catered by Chik Fil Et or Chipotle.
11. What is your idea of the perfect vacation?
A road trip with my husband, with plenty of time and money. At the moment I really want to road trip to Monument Valley, Utah. I went there once with a friend and it was amazing.
Sooo, I don't have that many people to tag that fit the requirements. Here's a couple. I doubt they will do it. But read my husband's blog because he's funny and brilliant.
Here's the questions I would ask:
1. What would make up a perfect day for you?
2. What is your all time favorite beverage?
3. Who has been the most influential person in your life?
4. You are designing your own T-Shirt. What is on it?
5. Your house is on fire. You have time to grab family, pets, and all the practical stuff (papers, $, etc) plus one impractial thing. What impractical thing do you grab?
6. Do you eat at the table or on the couch?
7. Alaskan cruise or tropical cruise?
8. What is one thing you know how to cook really well?
9. If you were able to take a class on anything, what class would you take?
10. Does bigfoot exist?
11. Toilet paper over or under?
