ANOTHER LIEBSTER AWARD!

Liebster Award #3

 
      I know I promised photos from Paris but this award is long overdue and I don't wish to look like I'm ungrateful.

 [I've been in a whirlwind of duties and happenings and I feel like I have missed something (an award or an important message or anything that I should answer to). So, my apologies and please be so kind as to remind me if I have. Really, I'm NOT this unorganised at all!!!]

      I really like blog awards no matter how time consuming they can be, because receiving one means that you are doing a good job and somebody likes you and wants to recognise your good work and share that with the rest of the blogging community. For that, I am grateful to all my fellow bloggers who have awarded me and special thanks to Krincess Carl from   http://www.karenadetravel.com/
for honoring me this time with yet another Liebster Award! She has a lovely blog about travel destinations, hotels, resorts and food. Do stop by and check it out!
 

      The Liebster Award is given out by the winner blogger to other up and coming bloggers as a way to spread the word about smaller blogs who deserve a larger audience.

Here are the details on receiving the award.

Each person must post 11 things about themselves.
Answer the questions that the nominator sets for you plus create 11 questions for the people you've nominated to answer.
Choose 11 blogs that you feel deserve the award (bloggers who have 200 or less followers).
Go to their page and tell them.


Here's (another) eleven random facts about me.

 1. I have actually killed a snake once by
     stomping on his head with a rake! It
     was a viper, 82 cm long.

 2. I recycle!

 3. I love travelling and wish I had more opportunities to do
     so!



 4. I love attending weddings!



 5.  I try to include all the food groups
      in our weekly menu; spaghetti,
      meat (twice), vegetables, legumes,
      eggs, fish,etc. and we have special
      meals of junk food on Saturday
      nights as they are our family nights
      where we eat pizza (often homemade) or      
      homemade cheeseburgers or hot dogs and stuff!


 6. The way the world is today I can't help but see evil,
     hear evil and

 
     if you 'step on my bunion'* speak evil!
         (*Greek expression: if you p***s me off)


 7. I love ice-cream!!!



 8. Have I mentioned that I am
     a Taurus?!





 
9. I don't consider black cats
    as bad luck.
    I happen to like black cats!
 

10. I like ladybugs! Once in a meadow full of them I had
      stuffed plenty of them in all my clothes' pockets (all 6
      of them) to take them home with me!
      (I was 4 years old!)

 

11. My brain stopped working! Why don't you fill this one out
      for me?

  1. So much to comment on here!! I too like black cats. Is it true that Lady Bugs are considered good luck?
    I've been to NYC twice but have so much more travelling to do! Love your list of questions too!
    My biggest frustration with blogging, there is just not enough time to read and comment:)

    1. Thanks! Actually I wasn't thinking about fears at that moment. It was the maternal instinct, I suppose, of protecting my little babies. It was in the front yard of my in-laws' cottage where we were vacationing and I didn't want that little sucker getting in the house!

  7. Congrats on your blog award! You're one brave cookie! Encountering a snake, and living to tell about it??!! MY GOD!! As you've no doubt surmised, I have a deathly fear of anything remotely snakey! Yikes, yikes, yikes. You need a medal for that alone!
    Bask in your glory, you definitely deserve it!
