I Won! Well, not really, but it's all in good fun.

I had the pleasure of being nominated for the Liebster Award by the Melissa Keir. Melissa's books, are amazing and she's a great friend! 

 

So how does the Liebster Award work? Here are the rules:

Thank the person who nominated you. (Thank you Melissa! I'm so excited!) Post eleven random facts about yourself. Answer the eleven questions asked by the person who nominated you. Think of a new set of eleven questions and nominate eleven others to answer them.

Here are just the facts...(THESE ARE FROM MY FRIEND, MELISSA! (My comments in red)

2. I caused quite the scandal by marrying one of my students' sexy fathers. (Saaweeet!)

3. I almost lost my driving license when I was 17 because of too many speeding tickets-- hence the nickname- Mario. (LOL)

4. My dad taught me to ice fish and shoot. But that was because he didn't have a son. (Sounds fun, but Brrrr!)

Eleven Questions from Melissa:
1.What is the grossest thing you've ever eaten? I'm a VERY picky eater, so this will be tame...I'd have to say peas. I'm just not a fan of those little mushy balls that squish in your mouth.

2. If you knew you were dying in 30 days, what is one thing from your bucket list that you'd do? I would get a tattoo. I've always wanted one, but I've never been brave enough.

3. If you could go back in time, what would you tell your high school self about love? I'd definitely tell myself to find a nice guy who has plans for the future. A nice geeky computer tech perhaps?

4. What is your favorite cartoon? Cartoons aren't my thing. If I had to pick one, I'd say the Disney movie Monsters, Inc. was good.

5. What music, artist, or song is your guilty pleasure?  If You Leave, by OMD from the movie Pretty In Pink. Every time I hear it, I'm transmitted back in time and feel like a teenager again.

6. What is your perfect birthday present?  Spending time with my daughter is perfect any day.

7. What is your dream car?  I don't really have a preference to a specific type of car, but I'd like one of those cars that you can turn on with a click of a button so it warms up/cools down before you get in.

8. What is or was your nickname? Chilly Willy.  Thanks Crystal

9. How did you get the nickname? My friend Crystal named me that. Still don't know why.

10.Which reality TV show would you like to be on for a month?  Oh my gosh, there are so many...definitely would love to be a Kardashian for a month. If that's not possible, then I'd have to say Big Brother.

11. What preparations have you taken for a zombie apocalypse or end of days scenario? Well, to be honest, I've no idea about this apocalypse coming, but my sister-in-law Jenny is a pro when it comes to zombie information. I'd just hang with her because she knows all the rules when it comes to the undead.
