Liebster Blog Award...

 Patty Froese nominated me for the award. Thank you, Patty!

The rules are:

1. Thank and link back to the person who presented you with the award. Add the award logo to your blog.
2. Answer the eleven questions posted for the nominees.
3. Share eleven random facts about yourself.
4. Write eleven questions for your nominees and then…
5. Nominate eleven worthy blogs and contact those bloggers so they know about it! (No tag backs.)

The Liebster Blog Award is given bloggers who have less than 200 followers. Liebster is a German word meaning: sweetest, kindest, nicest, dearest, beloved, lovely, pleasant, valued, cute, endearing and welcome.

These are Patty’s 11 questions, and my answers:

1. Where do you blog–where is your computer right now? Where it's been for the last 12 years, at my desk. Someday, I'm going to own a laptop so I'm not chained to the desk.

2. Where do you get your ideas for your posts? Anywhere and everywhere.

3. If you could bring a fictional character to life, who would it be? I have to choose? Jack. Mind you, Jack already thinks he's pretty real. Saucy baggage.

4. What’s your favorite snack food? Chocolate... popcorn... bread... cookies... Cheetos...

5. What is your ideal job? Writing!

6. What is your favorite TV show? Scarecrow and Mrs. King

7. Drama or Comedy? Depends on the drama and depends on the comedy.

8. If you could be rich and famous, would you do it? As long as I don't compromise my integrity.

9. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes split–good or bad? None of my business.

10. What do you want for Christmas this year? Are we talking anything at all? or practical? I'm choosing anything at all: A home.

11. What was the happiest day of your life (besides marriage or childbirth)? I'm looking forward to it whenever it decides to show up.
