Game for a Little Q&A Blogger Style

I am always up for a good game, and pleased as a person can be to be nominated for a Liebster Award, by Natalia at In the Writer's Closet. As Natalia quoted her nominator, the Liebster Award is given to "new bloggers to help them grow their following by introducing them to other bloggers and followers. "Liebster" is a German word which means "beloved, sweetheart or darling". The nominee is asked to answer the questions asked by the person who nominated them, and then nominate eleven other up and coming blogger.  I don't know if I know 11 new Bloggers yet-you all have been at this so much longer than me, but I'll see who I can find. Don't feel pressured; after all I was the one complaining about the reposts and shares via Facebook a week or so back.   Here are my questions.

1. Favorite color of the rainbow.

This is an easy one-blue, and blue, and still more blue. 

2. Favorite time of day.

Early eavening, when the sun is still up, but the baking heat of the sun overhead is starting to fade.  Of course, in Minnesota, that is about 3:00 in the afternoon from October-March.

3. Three favorite things to do when you don't have to do anything.

I can't recall not having anything to do, but when I get to choose, it is reading mind candy books, baking or cooking, and surfing the web.

4. Three favorite TV shows.

I have been off the regualr television bandwagon for a while, but here are the last three shows I binge watched: The Following, Sleepy Hollow, and Spiral (Engranages)

5. What was your biggest childhood dream?

An odd one, but I wanted to be the first girl football player in the NFL.  Then I moved on to being a reporter as my dream.  I would look horrid in those little football leggings.

6. What's more inspiring - being in the mountains or by the sea?

Both mountains and sea are pretty spectacular, but I will go by the see because I love the sea sounds.

7. In a difficult situation, who is your hero? (Do you ever think "What would ... do?")

My sister Shellie is probably the person that I know that shows impeccable common sense and logic.  She also is very giving and generous, and just a good person.  Actually, my sister Peggy as well fits this category.  Put their brains together and it would be unstoppable. 

8. If you only had to choose one book to bring with you to a desert isle, what would it be? 

Anything Elizabeth Ogilvie would do, but if I had to choose, The Season's Hereafter.  

9. First thing you do in the morning is ... (OK, of non-embarrassing things :) ) 

Mr Pup needs to be taken out-so he rules the top of my day, followed by drinking a big glass of water.

10. Are you a ritual person or a spontaneous person?

While I do like some routines, I am way to unorganized to say I am a ritual, so I must go with spontaneous.

11. If you had to describe the meaning of life in just one word, it would be ...

Understanding

Wow-harder than I thought it would be.  So here are my Liebster nominees, sorry if you consider yourself too experienced for this, but giving it a go. I also do not have 11, but maybe if you all participate, I'll find a few other newbies who are your readers.

Frugal from Frugal in Derbyshire  (because I really like to say that name!)

My questions to you are:

1. Who is your favorite  fictional heroine

2. If money was important, staycation or cheapo road trip

3. Do you prefer a firm or soft pillows and mattress?

4. Which would you prefer, a walk in the rain or a walk in the snow?(proper attire)

5. What is your favorite season?

6. What song makes you want to dance?

7. What song makes you nostalgic for your childhood?

8. What television or movie character would most see themselves in your blog?

9. What sense do you rely on the most?

10. Would you rather be the driver or the passenger?

11. How do you rejuvenate after a long day?

If you know of any good new bloggers, and want them added to my Liebster list, send me and e-mail and I'll get them added.  I've room for five more.
