Vanessence: Awards!

Minaxi, over at Gameplan Happily Ever After, is the kind of sweetheart, that when she saw I was having kind of a rough day, sprinkled bloggy awards on me to try to cheer me up. See what I mean about sweet? And you cannot spend 5 minutes in her company without smiling, because she’s an optimistic, cheerful sort who loves to spread joy and happiness. Go look, you’ll see what I mean. Smile

These are the awards Minaxi gave to me, and in turn, I give them to you. Aren’t they pretty? You know you want them.

I’ve never been comfortable with nominating people, so I will leave them here for anyone who wants to participate. I will answer Minaxi’s questions at the end though, and try to think of some of my own. (Good grief, did I really say that out loud, as though I could think of questions to ask people?!)

It’s Raining Awards!

It’s Raining Awards! – Gameplan Happily Ever After

Minaxi’s questions for me:

1. Favorite vacation place (which you have been/ in bucket list)

I have always wanted to go to Ireland, and Alaska.

2. Top of your wish list currently? (can be anything)

Um … lottery!

3. A person/memory/possession you are proud of the most in your life.

My awesome kids. Smile

4. Three qualities that define you (you can list more if you want)

This is really hard. I mean, I could say I have really long hair, but that doesn’t define me because I could cut it. Hahahaha! I could say I’m Christian, but that doesn’t define me in the sense like a talent or skill or anything. As for personality, I suppose I could go with Introverted, but is that nature or nurture? Am I a quiet sort because I learned to be, or was I that way already? See? It’s a hard one! I guess you could say I’m still figuring that one out. Winking smile

5. One weird fact about yourself It MUST be weird

I can pick thinks up with my toes.

6. What can rebound you from sadness? That makes you feel better on a bad day.

Hearing my kids laugh.

7. Would you change anything about you? If so what trait?

Sheesh, most things! I’d be taller, thinner, and sing in tune.

8. What is the one thing that turns you off totally?

Disloyalty.

9. When do you usually write? Like do you have any specific time daily for writing?

Nope, no specific time, just fill in bits and pieces as time permits, between the other things I do.

10. What posts do you wish to see more in blogosphere?

More LOLCats! The world needs more LOLz. Okay, seriously, I think that whatever a person is looking for in the blogosphere, they will find more than they expected. There is a wealth of posts on any and everything. It only needs more of whatever you’re looking for. Smile

11. All time favorite movie? (more than one is also fine. I understand :D)

A Charlie Brown Christmas.
