You There, Hey You! Yes YOU!!!

have been nominated (just like me, thanks to Carolyn from Perspective) for...

The Liebster Award is given to bloggers who are fairly new to the blogging world with less than 200 followers. The award is then passed along to other bloggers of the same criterion.

The Liebster Award rules: 

• Bloggers nominate other up and coming bloggers (with less than 200 followers) for the award.
• If you receive the Liebster, you must:
• Tell 11 random things about yourself.
• Answer the 11 questions the nominator has asked you.
• Nominate 11 other bloggers and make sure you notify them.

Eleven random factoids:

1. I once committed a minor breaking and entering (I was 4), and was busted by my mom. Funny story, should probably blog about it.
2. In my wildest dreams (okay, probably not my wildest), I wish I was a Coyote...
3. You might as well call me a 'fraidy cat. 
4. My first trip to Disney World (1994) resulted in my watching the famous Mickey Mouse Club rehearse (yes, Britney, Christina, Justin, and JC...less known as members that were there were Keri Russell and hottie Ryan Gosling) 
5. Hubs is the love of my life, my third marriage! 3rd time's a charm
6. The public library was my second home from age 10 til 16. I'm nerdly and I know it.
7. I am a complete germaphobe.
8. There is gravel permanently embedded in my calf from a slide into home plate on a field not completely smoothed before game time 25 years ago.
9. When I was 6, I packed an emergency preparedness kit in case of fire. It had my Bible, a Barbie and a Ken, a complete change of clothes and pajamas for me, a complete change of clothes and pajamas for my favorite Cabbage Patch doll, a flashlight, and my baby blanket in it. I was ready. My family never knew of it.
10. Spaghetti noodles were once laughed out of my nose. They were accompanied by sweet tea. It hurt.
11. Chiquita banana called me to model for them when I was in Jr. High. Legit.
