Liebster Award

I was nominated for this award by a friend, Jodi from In My Corner... oh dear... not sure if I am up to this! 
I was told to have fun with it... I am not used to this type of attention and I definitely shy away from podiums!   I will do all the grunt work to research for a nomination; I can give praise to anyone and encourage them along but I am so not used to the tables being turned!
It apparently is to get more followers on your blog... I am finding out I have several people that read my blog but I was not aware cause they don't leave comments :( and they have not officially signed on to follow me.
I don't know if I have 5 bloggers to link this too but here we go...


The Rules:

1. State 11 personal facts.

2. Answer the questions from the person who nominated you.

3. Nominate 5 bloggers who have less than 200 followers (no tag backs) and ask them random questions.

4. Complete your post.

5. Link up your post on the originating bloggers post.

 

 

 

Personal Facts

1.  I tend to sit at my computer way too much - either doing newsletters or organizing events for volunteer positions I have or paperwork for my farm
2. I have way too many patience for my 18 year old cat that keeps peeing on things in my house
3. I have big dreams/goals and am the worlds biggest procrastinator
4. I am an empty nester - and actually enjoying it :)
5. I love to knit, weave, spin yarn on a floor wheel or drop spindle.
6. I like to wear "old fashioned" clothes - yep the long dresses - or ballgowns from the 1800's and before.
7. I hate shopping - yes I am not the type to be going to the mall and spending hours & $.  I am very practical - if I don't need it I don't get it.
8. I don't like cooking cause that means I have to clean up after and I hate dishes.
9. I love to read historical books and watch the history channel - gee am I boring eh?
10. I could sit in a yarn shop - in the middle of the floor and close my eye - breath deep - exhale... and that's my yoga
11. I was going to leave this for a later date... cause I am a procrastinator LOL  is that personal enough?

And here are my questions from Jodi:

1. If you could be any person of the opposite sex who would it be? WHY?

I have never wished myself to be someone else... wouldn't even know who to chose.  When younger I wanted to be a boy cause I thought life was so much easier for them in so many ways... but never wanted to be a specific person.

 

2. If your life were a book what would the title be, what would the cover look like?WHY?

Title from my point of view or my kids?  LOL  hmmm, The Wild Journey... and it would have a picture of a grass field with sheep, alpacas and cows chewing on a round bale of hay with me wrapped up in the middle with my eyes peaking out

3. What does a typical day in the life of YOU look like?

haahaha oh my... well, its swish and swipe, make bed etc... go downstairs and find out what hubby has planned for the day (that will depend on what my day will be like) - then I am either running around for others or office work or out with my sheep or with the cows; on the phone with my mom... I don't know... every day is different.

4. What is a hobby you have always wanted to try but haven't? And what is holding you back from trying it?   Hobby;s are one thing I have never held back from.  I have tried everything I wanted to try and if the whim hits me again I will continue to learn something new.  

5. What are three words you would use to describe your style?

Plain, to the point, boring

 

Well, that is pretty much me... I have a real hard time with these things.   Cause I am just ME I don't k now how to explain me. 

I am a party pooper.. I don't have anyone to send this to.

Hope it hasn't freaked you out to find out more quirks about me.

 

 

?? Title??

I am finding titles to my blog posts very repititious... so for a loss of words and repeating myself I have left it up to you to decide.

Thank  you to those who sent me kind words after my last post.  Although I do get frustrated, deep down I know I will continue the struggle - cause if I don't, god only knows how much weight I would gain!   At least now, although not at a healthy weight for me I am maintaining within 5 lbs.

On a very positive note, My mom has been doing very well.  She has broke through that 180 mark and staying below.  She struggled for some time due to food that has been served in the home she lives.  Everyone has thier cooking night but the family members love thier bacon, full cream, whip cream, icecream, cakes, potatoes and cooking with a lot of fat.   Fat isn't a bad thing but in high quantities, not so good.   My mom has a hard time saying no... and when you live in the same house it is nice to have cooking nights off but it truly backfires.   Especially since my mom has a lot of allergies to different foods and many times she would eat them so she didn't have to cause friction or just tired of explaining herself. 
Its hard to stay on program (no matter what program you may be on) when no one understands what should be along with your strengths and weaknesses. 

It does take work - and I am the worlds biggest procrastinator and seem to be getting worse as I get older.   I always say "tomorrow" but we all know tomorrow never comes. 

So what am I doing about today?  I have started off on a bad foot already - missed breakfast and am making turkey bacon, hashbrowns, eggs and fruit for lunch.  
I haven't had anything to drink yet today... yah, need to get my planning cap on.

One thing that has me baffled... I have been having a lot of acid reflux at night over the past week and yet last night after my birthday dinner of eating foods I was completely prepared to douse myself with Tums after...  I slept like a baby and never had anything close to a tummy ache.  That was with no Tums taken.  weird...

My body really confuses me! LOL

Time to bring the heavy machinery in and grade my road so its a little smoother.
