Liebie liebie Liebster!


 
Oh.my.goodness!!!

I am SOOO stoked about being nominated by one of my inspirations to the blogging worlds for the Liebster Award!!

Grab button for Grand Adventures

^ Check her out, she's uhhhh-mazing!

So here's the thing, I answer 11 questions she's posted about me, and I pick 11 people to answer MY questions :) 

Link-Up Par-tay!


Nina asked Ellie:


1. If you could only celebrate one holiday a year, which would it be?
Christmas. All of the other holidays wouldn't even exist without the birth of Jesus!


2. Which is better: the morning or the night?
Shew, I sure wish I could say night, but being a "big girl with a big girl job" makes me want to sleep during the night and be super perky in the mornings! I'm getting old!!

3. If you were stranded on a desert island, who would you want to be stranded with and what is the one item you would want to have?
My BFF/Sister for life. She's the only person I could put up with for more than one full day and she's SUPER smart so if we needed something useful she might be more capable of conjuring it up than I would!! And one item I would want to have with me would have to be my nook. I have tons of books (and could add more) that need to be read... endless reading on endless beach time? Sign me up!

4. Were you more interested in the Superbowl or the Bruno Mars half time show Sunday night? If you didn't watch either, what did you spend your Sunday evening doing?
Netflix- current show: Once Upon a Time
5. If you are a religious person, how does religion affect your life?
I am a Christian and most days I'm not the best one either. My whole faith revolves around Jesus and I strive to become better about worshiping Him.

6. The last thing you bought was . . .
A CAR! I am SO excited I finally bought a car! Eeeeeek!

7. Do you have any embarrassing stories you're willing to share with the internet world?
Well a couple are stories through some of my posts! But one in particular that still makes me laugh is:
This one guy I was texting and basically knew all about his life (and he knew about mine) asked me out on a face-to-face date after a few chats. I was super excited because I hadn't been out with anyone in a while and he was offering to take me to dinner and a movie (SCORE). Here's the embarrassing part... I didn't save his name in my phone, and I had forgotten it. I went back to the website where we first started messaging, and HE DELETED HIS ACCOUNT! So I had to resort to finally asking him and apologizing a million times for forgetting his name, and he stopped talking to me. I should be added to the HALL OF LAME for that one.


8. What is your number one pet peeve?
Bad grammar.

9. What do you prefer: movies, books, or the interwebz?
A nice combination of all 3! I get bored with just one of these for long periods of time. Usually, I will read a couple chapters on my nook, then turn on the tv for some good ole Netflix, then check out the world wide web for some good info.
-Repeat-


10. What is your favorite season?
Spring. Everything is SO colorful & the weather is not too hot and not too cold.

11. Why do you blog?
I love writing, always have. Also, some of the stories I tell are quite hilarious, even to me. I want others to laugh along and realize that dating can be super fun if you stay positive and SAFE. Safety is super important as well.


NOW....it's my turn to ask the questions!! :)


  1. What is the absolute worst pick-up line you've received or have heard someone else be a victim of?
  2. How do you feel about Kanye wanting to leave the country: (a) PLEASE DON'T GO (b) Buh-Bye!
  3. What is your biggest dream involving your career in life?
  4. Are you more awkward around first-time meetings with people or are you the "life of the party let's be best friends after 5 minutes" type?
  5. Are you a grudge holder? If so, mind sharing one that you just can't shake but wish you could?
  6. Do you blog for followers or fun?
  7. What is one thing that you could eliminate from your Facebook/Instagram/Twitter feed?
  8. Do you admire different seasons or would you rather live in a place that has one constant season year-round? If it's one constant season, which one would you pick?
  9. If you are single, what would be your perfect fit to your life? If you aren't single, answer this question anyway! 
  10. What is your deal breaker when it comes to being in a relationship?
  11. Do you have a go to YouTube channel for laughs? If so, please share!

  2. Great blog! I haven't had time to read all the posts I wanted to and comment back, but here is a start. I can join you in the HALL OF LAME. I am a flight attendant/writer so I have daily interactions with random men. Today for example, a married guy slipped me his number while his wife was asleep right next to him, holding his hand, Bastard! But here is my lame story. I met this cute guy on the plane, couldn't remember his name, so he became 29F. And stayed that way through date 1 to 5 ... Yep 5 nameless dates. I didn't come clean. But as I took a quick phone call during date 6, he saw the list of calls on my screen. And there he was: 29F. Needless to say date 7 didn't happen.

    1. Please if you EVER have screenshots of conversations with Lame-O's email them to me! And they will be posted on the HALL OF LAME page :)
      Guys are complete idiots, even the married ones. I used to say, "All the good men are taken." Not the case because obviously the jerks are taken, too!
      I literally laughed out loud, because the scenario in my head played out exactly the way yours actually happened, if I had decided to go through with the date before asking him his name! Thanks for the read&add!

  8. Congrats on the award :) I tried online dating almost ten years ago and I think it has gotten much better and more socially acceptable. My older brother met his wife online and they have been happily married for over ten years now!

  9. Thank you!! And I would like to think almost everyone who has had access to try online dating has at least attempted it once. & I LOVE hearing success stories! It keeps my hopes up because so many of the people are crazy online and knowing of real people (not on the commercials) that have gotten married after online dating makes me happy!
