Liebster Award Take Three!

My bloggy friend Kathy just nominated me for the Liebster award. I have already done this once twice, but it's hard to tell (since I don't add a button to my sidebar) and because I like her so much, I am doing it again!

1. What's the inspiration behind the title of your blog?
It's pretty boring. It was something that I came up with, just thinking about the randomness that is me, that is also what my blog is. My thoughts written out.


2. What did you hope to be when you grew up?
I didn't really have anything that I stuck with. I did always have a love for writing though. That is coming through strong on this blog, though not quite what I was doing in high school!


3. What kind of animal best represents you/your family?
Well, I had nothing for this one, so I asked my fiancee and he said Siberian tiger. When I asked him why this was his reply: "because they are cute and cuddly and rare and if you mess with their family they will rip your face off." I found it pretty fitting (though I'm not sure that they are that cuddly lol)

4. Why did you start your blog?
Honestly, I think it was peer pressure. I had a couple good friends who were blogging and I loved to read them, one suggested I do one (I think!) so I did! I am so glad. I have been blogging since late August 2007 so almost seven years and really do enjoy it.


5. Name one item near the top of your bucket list.
Travel. I want to see the world. I have so many places I want to see: Sydney Opera House, the Eiffel Tower, Buckingham palace. I could go on and on but you get the picture.

6. Describe your ideal summer evening.
On the beach, my feet in the sand. Watching the sunset as my children are playing. I would rather it be with a drink in my hand and my love by my side.

7. Who inspires you the most outside of your family?
I think that would have to be Lola Bacon and her husband Floyd. Sadly we lost Lola in 2012 but Floyd is still an amazing inspiration. They were pastors of mine and both live the Godly life style. I love how passionate they are about their work in the church. Even retired they were so involved.


8. Finish this sentence: After a long day, it makes me happiest to….
curl up on the couch and watch a few episodes of my favorite shows or with a good book.


9. If you could have any super hero power, what would it be? Why?
I think I would like to be able to fly. Though I would also enjoy being super fast or maybe the ability to heal... There are so many options!


10. Why do you write about what you write about?
I just write what I feel like writing. If I don't feel like writing, I post a picture!


11. What is your favorite season and why?
I am going to have to go with summer. I love the heat, the outside activities you can enjoy, and the fact that the days are long leaving me more sunshine.

I am not going to nominate anyone, but if you want, you can "play" along. Just leave me a link to yours in the comments so I can read it.
