a darling award

Besides having a wonderful trip to Florida last week, seeing part of my family, being able to enjoy a great show at the Madonna Concert, I was also very fortunate to be nominated for a blog award.

I received the "Liebster" Blog Award from Mrs. T, which made me feel very happy!

So Thank You Mrs. T for the special honor.

The award (like a mentioned above) is called Liebster which is German for beloved, or darling!

Here are the rules:

1. List 11 facts about yourself.

2. Answer the 11 questions given to you.

3. Create 11 new questions for the bloggers you nominate for the award.

4. Choose 11 bloggers with 200 or less followers to nominate. 

5. Go to each bloggers page and let them know about the award.

As far as the rules go, I am afraid I will be breaking a few, like the part of choosing 11 bloggers because I am not even sure I follow that many... 

So instead today, I am going to be just thankful and nominate anybody that reads my blog regularly, please go on a grab the award if you feel like it and answer the questions on the comments... thanks! 

I hope nobody calls the "blog award police" on me, LOL!

Now, off to the other "rules", first is the 11 facts about yourself:

1. Although I like Christmas time, I am not very fond of Christmas music.

2. I have been on a diet for the past 4 weeks and so far I have lost a total of 16 pounds... My goal is 20 so I am getting very close!

3. I love to drink coffee, I take it black and no sugar!

4. My favorite new brand of jeans (as of last week) is Lucky Brand, they are just awesome and fit like a glove!

5. My favorite city (that I've been to) is definitely Jerusalem, there's just so much meaning to it, even if you are not religious it should mean something from the anthropological point of view. It is a place where you can stand in the middle of a plaza, close your eyes and perhaps listen to more than 5 languages at once... love it there!

6. I love dark chocolate in all shapes and forms.

7. I love to sleep, so to me insomnia is like my kryptonite, a bad night makes my day miserable and my mood not a happy one.

8. Photography makes me happy.

9. I am scared of frogs, mainly because they are cold and slimy... Although I do think Red Eye Tree frogs are very cute (as long as they don't come too close to me)!

10. I love having animals to share my life with, if I had more money and space I would probably have many more!
