aw shucks

 

This is the Liebster Blog award, 

 given to me by Jana, at life could be a dream,

who has an adorable baby boy (if you were wondering)

and here's how it works:

"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 & get them more readers/ followers! When you receive the award, you post 11 random facts about yourself and answer 11 questions from the person who nominated you. You pass the award onto 11 other blogs."

Thanks Jana!

It won't be 11 though.

 

11 Random facts about Mrs. Smith:

1.  I don't speak Spanish, but I have a weird habit of saying a few phrases in Spanish, like "Que hora es?"  and "En Serio?"  And I can say the pledge of allegiance in Spanish.  That's about it.
2. I love yellow gold.  I think it's classic and beautiful.
3. I get really involved in movies!  I have a hard time being quite because I'm so excited/angry/upset.
4. When I'm alone in the house, I like to wear a scarf around my head like Muslim women do- wrapped around my head.  It makes so warm!
5. I love everything my mom wears.  I'd rather dress like a middle-aged woman than a teenager.
6. I wish I had the time to take organ lessons.   I play in church, but I wish I could play classical.
7. For some reason, I have never been able to tell you how much a dime is worth.  Or a nickel.  I can tell you the smaller one is 10 cents and the bigger one is 5.  (I also didn't learn left from right until I started driving).
8. Sometimes I really just want to drop out of school.
9. I have a weakness for beautiful books.  For example, borders has these gorgeous, collectable, hard-bound versions of classics.  Tyler and I tried so hard to convince ourselves the $200 set was worth it.
10. I can eat over a pound of fudge in one sitting, which is weird, because everyone says it's too rich.
11. Cheese pizza has been my favorite food since I was five.

11 Questions answered:  

1. What is the best Halloween costume you have ever worn?  Definitely Tinkerbell.

8. What is your favorite holiday and why?  Christmas.  There's a wonderful spirit about the holiday, and I can show my loved ones I care by giving gifts!

9. What is your favorite family tradition?  Raisin in the cookie.  Every Christmas, we bake enough chocolate chip cookies for each kid in the family, and put in one raisin.  Whoever gets the raisin gets to open the family Christmas gift (usually a game we can play together)

10. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?  A veterinarian.  Or a nurse.  But now I realize I don't have the stomach for that!
