One of my new besties, a very lovely lady who writes Tonettejoycefoodfriendsfamily, nominated me for the prestigious Liebster Award. This is a wonderful and unexpected honor, albeit a teensy bit sad, because it’s meant to draw attention to deserving blogs (the happy part) who have less than 200 readers (the sad face part). However, I will carry on with a smile as the glass half full kinda gal I am, and proceed with the rules.
Rules
I need to nominate 11 other under-appreciated blogs with less than 200 followers. Hey guys, I appreciate you! Please visit them and give them some love because they are very interesting to read and are authored by brilliant and creative writers. Some have a bit more than 200 but I really enjoy them so much I wanted to help others make the discovery, and I think I actually have chosen 12, but whatever, I never like to follow rules. And since most of the time I believe the world revolves around me (well, it does around MY house!) and it’s all about me, I can mess with the rules just a bit. Next comes 11 juicy tidbits about myself, then answer 11 questions sent to me, and create 11 questions for my chosen group.
Eleven random facts about ME you really want to know!
1. My grandfather was a rabbi
2. I was in the movie “Stuntman”
3. I fell down a manhole when I was three-years-0ld
4. I once interviewed Bob Hope
5. I know someone who knows someone who went to the Skyfall premiere
6. I love animals more than 90% of all the humans on Earth
7. I’m from the midwest
8. I could probably have a big win on Jeopardy-my head is full of useless information
9. I’ve taught school
10. My husband says I use a shovel like a man (he meant it as a compliment; I was not amused)
11. I haven’t eaten meat since I was 16-years-old
