A few weeks back I was nominated for a Liebster Blog Award by Jamie, at Rise Run Repeat Mom… I first started reading Jamie’s blog when she was writing about kettle bell workouts and do enjoy it immensely.
What is a Liebster award? You might be wondering...
The word liebster is a German word meaning sweetheart, dearest or beloved and then applied to blogs that one likes.
Thank you, Jamie, for the nomination!
There are a few rules that come with this nomination:
- Add the award icon onto your blog
- link your nominator and say thank you
- post 11 random things about yourself
- answer 11 questions from the person who nominated you
- nominate 11 bloggers (and let them know)
- post 11 new questions to the bloggers you nominate
You all know that I am terrible at coming up with these random things about myself so I am going to to jump to answering Jamie’s 11 questions…
11 questions for Jamie's nominees: 1. What's your favorite reality TV show?
The Biggest Loser is my ONLY reality TV show. I think it was so much better this last season.
2. Do you play an instrument?
Piano, accordian, and I pluck at the guitar and mandolin a little.
3. Have you ever broken a bone?
Yes, a small one on the outside of my foot but darned if I can remember if it was the left or the right as it was so long ago.
4. Are you scared of bugs?
Not afraid, but not particularly enamoured of them either.
5. What is is your favorite movie?
It has always been Ghost with Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore, but Life of Pi is pretty darned spectacular.
6. Do you like to cook?
I do! That is why I write a second blog called We can begin to feed…
7. Do you have any pets? If yes, how many and what kind?
Not at the moment. In the past I have loved dogs, cats, fish, turtles, guineau pigs and hamsters.
8. What is your favorite job?
Tending my balcony garden maybe.
9. Are you afraid of the dark?
Nope, but I have never spent any scary or tense time in the dark.
10. Have you ever travelled to another country?
Many times to the U.S. and Mexico. Also Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Austria and Holland.
11. If you run, do you enjoy running in the rain?
I don’t mind running in a warm rain but cannot honestly cross the line to ‘enjoying’ it.
