Time to get Kreativ

I got a new award! A BIG thank you to Katie O' Sullivan for the Kreativ Blogger Award!

The last few awards I got, I was lazy and didn't really fulfill the requirements, so this time I'm going to do it right....

According to the Kreativ blogger rules, I must: Share 10 things about myself, and nominate 6 other bloggers to receive the award

10 random things about myself... hummm

1) I haven't eaten red meat in close to 15 years
2) I am a slave to chocolate and peanut butter
3) I can down a cup of coffee in 2 gulps and then take a nap
4) My left foot is nearly a whole size larger than my right foot
5) Whole days seem to get lost when I've reading a good book
6) I sneak in my daughter's room to cuddle her while she is sleeping
7) I would wear nothing but pajamas and super hero t-shirts if it was deemed work appropriate
8) I hate dirty dishes in the sink at night, but they can be there all day
9) If the radio is on in the morning before I have my caffeine, I will be in a bad mood all day
10) Random tv quotes, song lyrics and catch phrases can fly out at the weirdest times


and the 6 bloggers I will be passing this on to are:

Fellow Newfoundlander, and new blogger Rana Randomly Specific
Cutie Pie Yeamiewaffles at Matthew's Blog
The amazing mybabyjohn/Delores at The Feathered Nest
The happily undefined Karen Peak at Karen's World
The overly honest Cathy at Life on the Muskoka River
The busiest blogging Ninja around Alex J. Cavanaugh

and the award goes to....

mybabyjohn/Delores over at The Feathered Nest has just bestowed this award on ME!



As with any blog award there are rules, this award has 3:

Rule #1 - thank the sender of the award - Thank you again to mybabyjohn/Delores; you are awesome.

Rule #2 - list 7 previously unknown facts about yourself - ok humm... here we go
1) I am currently on a TV binge of Spartacus, Jericho, Being Human, The Walking Dead, and Firefly (Netflix is TV right)
2) I have severe bruxism, and sleep wearing a mouth guard (bruxism - teeth grinding)
3) I am currently on a quest to find the best homemade pickle recipe
4) I drink a minimum of 4 cups of tea a day (1 milk, 1 sugar twin)
5) I will do just about anything for Reese peanut butter cups
6) I hate shaving my legs, and will come up with any variety of excuse not to (ie Feb-u-hairy)
7) During the month of January, I read 10 novels on my Kobo (GEEK)

Rule #3 - pass along the award to 7 others - well this is where I'm going to break the rules... I would like to pass the award on to you ALL!! Enjoy
