Liebster Award?

So, I was checking my email the other day...

I've been nominated for the Liebster Award!

I have no idea what this is... and I'm extremely new to the blogging community, but nevertheless I'm very excited to be nominated! Thanks so much, Julie! You're a gem! You can check her out at http://www.momontherunx2.com/

Eleven Things About Me
1.  I work in a pediatrician's office as a receptionist.
2.  I absolutely despise feet. I think they're gross.
3.  I make the BEST desserts. Don't ask me how though, because I don't measure a thing.
4.  I'm twenty five years old and still have no clue what I want to do with the rest of my life.
5.  I own two cars.
6.  I think my younger brother is the funniest person I know.
7.  I don't have that many friends, but I wouldn't trade the ones I do have for the world.
8.  I love taking pictures. Photography is one of my passions.
9.  Clouds make me smile. Especially "Toy Story" clouds.
10. My all time favorite weather is raining while the sun is shining.
11. The only thing I truly want in my life is children.


And now for the 11 questions that Julie has asked me...


1.  What is your favorite ice cream flavor? 
Chocolate chip cookie dough, one hundred percent.

2.  What is one thing you did in your younger years that you are ashamed of?
Being mean to a little girl that lived next door to me. I had a "fat" contest and said she was the loser. Her mom heard the whole thing and yelled at me and then had a conversation with my mom. I felt so awful. I had no reason to do that, but I know I was a jealous kid and didn't want her to play with my "best friend" so I hurt her feelings. I was a brat.

3.  Describe your style. 
Honestly? I really don't have a "style." lol And if I could put a name to it, comfy casual. I'm a    real TShirt and Jeans kind of gal. Not to mention that I wear scrubs the majority of the week for work.

4.  Why do you blog?
I really blog for myself. I don't really care if people read it. I blog because it helps me to remember things and allows me to keep my brain focused, my attitude positive, and my emotions in check. If I didn't have an outlet for all of the information I'm processing I would go insane.

5.  What is your favorite non-blog website?
Ha. Facebook. Or MyFitnessPal.com, I have a lot of positive people in my life through that website.

6.  What is your favorite blog post?  Link it here.
I don't have a favorite blog post. I don't really read a lot of blogs (like, at all). 
 
7.  What month is your Zodiac sign?  Do you think you have those traits?
I'm an April born, bull-headed, opinionated, fun loving, down to earth, Taurus. And I have one hundred percent of those traits.

8.  What is one thing you want to do that you have never done?
Sky dive. I think it would be the most thrilling experience.

9.  Blogger, Wordpress or something else?
I use blogger. But that's because it's the only thing that I'm familiar with.

10.  What is your favorite food?
Italian. Or Pizza. I don't count pizza as Italian as it did not originate in Italy. It originated in Greece.

11.  If money was no object, what would you do?  Where would you go?
I would travel the world. I think I would go everywhere I could. Throw darts at maps and just go.
