Liebster Award



Anastasia Vitsky  nominated me for the Liebster Award. I'm honored, though I was more excited when I thought it said Lobster Award. Ah well. 

The Rules
  • When one receives the award, one posts 11 random facts about oneself and answers the 11 questions asked by the person who nominated you.
  • Pass the award onto 11 other blogs (while making sure one notifies the blogger that one nominated them!)
  • One writes up 11 NEW questions directed towards YOUR nominees.
  • One is not allowed to nominate the blog who nominated one’s own blog!
  • One pastes the award picture into ones blog. (You can google the image, there are plenty of them!)

  1. LOL! I refuse to answer the comment about whether I've forgotten to return a book on the grounds that I might incriminate myself.

    Your uncensored first response made me giggle!

    I love O Holy Night. Well, I love just about every Christmas song so I'm not sure if that counts. ;)

    And me too, absolutely, about Seinfeld. Could not watch more than a clip here or there.

    So the squirrels are a poor second class next to the beloved birds? I protest on behalf of the squirrels.

    1. Actually, I like the squirrels. They are cute and don't poop on my car.

  2. I'm with you, Celeste! I was never a fan of Seinfeld and found the characters mean-spirited and nasty. When George bought cheap wedding invitations and the glue poisoned and killed his fiancee and he was RELIEVED because he didn't have to get married, I stopped watching the show.

    Good questions you asked!

    1. If you and Ana and I didn't watch, how'd the show get so popular?

  3. Thank you so much for sharing. So interesting getting a more personal look at all our favorite authors. I don't like olives either, except when they are gracing a martini..... Can't wait for the "thwack, smack, crack" of a tale....
