Liebster Award #3
[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!
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.

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
(*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!

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?

So much to comment on here!! I too like black cats. Is it true that Lady Bugs are considered good luck?
ReplyDeleteI'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:)
I don't know about the Lady Bugs being considered good luck. I'd like it!

DeleteCongrats on another deserved award, girl! You killed a snake! So brave. I love the animations you use on your posts :) Hope you are well.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michelle!
DeleteCongrats on the blog award! Those are fun to get! :o)
ReplyDeleteWe share a lot of the same favorite movies...The Hangover makes me laugh EVERY time I see it (which is over a dozen times) and Dirty Dancing and The Pursuit Of Happyness are amazing movies as well!
Congrats to you on your blog award and thank you so much for passing it along to me! I love how on one hand you stomped on a snakes head and on the other, at another moment in life you had a pocket full of lady bugs!
ReplyDeleteThank you and you're welcome. You do desreve it!
DeleteCongrats again! You are tough! Killing a snake yikes!! I am afraid of them
ReplyDeleteThanks! 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!
DeleteCongrats 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!
ReplyDeleteBask in your glory, you definitely deserve it!
Thank you, Nell. You really give me too much credit. Please read the above comment and you'll see why the snake killing happened.
