Liebster Award

Pin It

I was shocked to find out that I was nominated for the Liebster Blog award.  I received this award from Boogies N BooBoos, thank you very much!!

The Liebster Blog Award is given to bloggers by bloggers. It is a way to acknowledge each other and say “you’re doing a great job”. It is for blogs with 200 or less followers, so it’s also a great way to spread the word about smaller blogs and get them more readers and followers! When you receive the award, you post 11 random facts about yourself and answer 11 questions from the person(s) who nominated you. You pass the Award onto 11 other blogs (make sure you tell them you nominated them!) and ask them 11 questions. You’re not allowed to nominate the blog(s) who nominated you! (To get the button, right click the picture on my page and save the picture to your computer. You can then upload to your blog.)

11 Random Facts About Me:

1. I’m a Christian and am so happy with how God has changed me!

2. I just got my first pedicure last weekend.  It was wonderful!!

3. My first concert was New Kids on The Block.

4. My 2nd concert was Toby Keith and Trace Adkins some 25 years later!

7. I used to be allergic to eggs, milk, wheat and corn.

8. I wear a women’s size 13 shoe

10. I used to work with individuals that are mentally and physically challenged.  I really miss that some days.

11. I have never been on an airplane.

Questions I was Asked:

1. What's the best book you've ever read? I’ve read so many, I can’t think of just one.  Of course I love the Bible, anything by Nicholas Sparks and Neta Jackson

2. Where's your favorite vacation destination that you have traveled to?  The one and only vacation I’ve had.  We drove from Oklahoma to North Carolina.  Had a blast and wish we would have had more time!

3. What made you start blogging? Just wanted a way for my family to keep up on how much my daughter was growing and changing.

4. What is the oddest job you've held? oddest?  Nothing really odd, but right now I’m a custodian.  lol  Been a waitress, cashier at a grocery store, Certified Nurses Aide for almost 15 years and a custodian.  That’s my long list of jobs.  Guess my oddest would be when I was staying at home! Smile with tongue out

5. If you could have any occupation in the world, what would it be? I would love to own a yarn/material store!  I love to crochet and to sew!  Or just to be rich and help out so many charities would be nice too!

6. East Coast or West Coast.  Hmm.. prefer where I’m at.. the Midwest, but if I have to choose.. east coast

7. How many FB friends do you have...not fans? 426  I have more fb friends than I do fans. 

8. What's your favorite food? that’s a tough one… I love all sorts of foods but mainly meat.  Winking smile

9. Name one thing you couldn't live without (not people)?  My Bible

10. Favorite television series.  Hmm… there are a few I watch but nothing is coming to mind right now.  I do love Parenthood and am waiting to see if its been cancelled.

11. Snooki or Kim Kardashian...who would you rather spend 24 hrs with?  Neither one.  I do know who they are but they are not people I would want to spend time with.

 

My Nominations Go To:

I hope I’m not hurting anyones feelings but since I have been back to work I haven’t been blogging much.  I haven’t read a blog in several months and am out of the loop a bit.  It took me two days just to do this post so I probably won’t be nominating anyone.  I am honored to have been nominated myself though!  Thanks again!

Happy Homemaker Monday… not really

Pin It

Ok.. not doing the regular HHM post today because it would look the same as last week!  Nothing much has changed… need to get moving on more Christmas gifts.  Mad is off Thursday and Friday of this week so short school week for her, which means I need to get busy on the days she is gone!  Smile

Getting excited for Christmas, and ready to spend some time with family!!  Mad is super excited as usual!  I have to remind her that it’s not all about the gifts!  She knows it is also about celebrating Jesus’ birth and all that He has done for us but you know…. she’s still just a kid and presents out way that excitement right now.  lol

Here’s a few pics from the past few days.

I’m still here

Pin It Well… I know I haven’t been posting much lately.  Not really because we aren’t doing much but because we are doing a lot and then I just don’t have the time to post.  I was looking back at some of my old posts and I guess I need to get back into the habit of just getting on and using it as my journal.  Seems to me I had a lot more to write about and say when I did it that way instead of worrying about the writing style, grammar, whatever. 


Mad’s still enjoying school which is great.  When I pick her up and ask her what she did/learned that day she just says…’the weather’  Always try to find out what else and she just says, ‘that’s all.”  She has a little boyfriend, but we keep doing our best to remind her that she is still young and has plenty of time for boys, so just have ‘friends’ instead.  She just rolls her eyes and says, ‘Whatever mom’

In Novemeber Oklahoma was having a lot of earthquakes.  On the 5th or 6th, can’t remember the exact date, we had a pretty good one, shook the whole house and caused some damage to our shop floor out back.  Other than that we were fine.  A lot of others, that were closer, had some pretty good damage.  It was my first time experienceing an earthquake and was just wondering what in the world was going on!  Mad did pretty well but then again, she didn’t know what was going on either.

We had a great Thanksgiving and got to spend it with my in-laws and their young neighbors that Maddie just adores.  They have a little 9 month old boy that Mad is just in love with! (would share some pics of them but haven’t asked so I better not)


My mom had the opportunity to go to Vegas so over Thanksgiving that is where she was.  Sounds like she had a blast though! 

So… here’s just some random shots I have taken lately… nothing much but just thought I would share.(click the pics to make them bigger)
