Liebster Award Nominee!

Guess what, y'all?  

I got my very first blog award today :)  How awesome is that?  I was nominated for the Liebster Blog Award from Angela over at The Harmon Baby Farm.  

The Liebster Blog Award is given to bloggers by bloggers. It is a way to acknowledge each other and say “you’re doing a great job”. It is for blogs with 200 or less followers, so it’s also a great way to spread the word about smaller blogs and get them more readers and followers! When you receive the award, you post 11 random facts about yourself and answer 11 questions from the person(s) who nominated you. You pass the Award onto 11 other blogs (make sure you tell them you nominated them!) and ask them 11 questions. You’re not allowed to nominate the blog(s) who nominated you! (To get the button, right click the picture on my page and save the picture to your computer. You can then upload to your blog.)

So, here are 11 random facts about me:
1.  There are some fairly common things that I don't know how to do, such as skate or whistle.  
2.  I get super excited every time I get a new comment on a blog post or get a new follower.  
3.  I am an extremely sensitive person.  
4.  I used to collect postcards.
5.  I went credit card crazy as a teen and ruined my credit.  
6.  There are some things that I wish I could do over and would if I had the chance.
7.  I refuse to spend a ton of money to see a movie in the theater.  I'll either wait until it comes to the small $2 theater downtown or wait to rent it when it comes out on DVD.
8.  I have to listen to music while I'm folding and putting away clothes.  No idea why.
9.  I can't stand to be hot.  Even in the winter I will have a small fan going most of the time.
10.  I read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in less than 24 hours.  
11.  My husband says I have road rage, but I don't know what he's talking about ;)   

Angela's 11 questions for me:  

1. How many different states or countries have you lived in?  I have only ever lived in North Carolina and have even stayed mostly in the same area.  I've never lived more than 30 minutes from the house I grew up in.
2. What is your natural hair color? Do you dye it?  My natural hair color is a very dark brown, almost black color.  I dye it every once in a while.  The last time I did anything to it was last year when I got highlights. 
3. What colors/theme is your house decorated with?  Haven't really done much decorating.  That's not really my thing.  
4. What's the best thing about being a mom or wife?  As far as being a mom goes, I love watching Chris and Logan grow into the people they're going to become later on in life.  I love hearing the silly things they say and how sweet they can be with each other even though they fight so much.  Not really sure what my favorite thing about being a wife is.
5. What is the hardest thing about being a mom or wife?  The hardest thing about being a mom, I think, is the (constant) worry that you are going to mess up somewhere and wondering if you're doing your part to raise good people.  
6. What brings you the most joy in your life?  My family and friends.  They're everything to me.
7. What brings you the most stress in your life?  Financial worries, playing referee between the boys
8. Have you read 50 Shades of Gray?  Nope.  Don't really want to either.
9. What is your dream job?  What I'm doing now....being a stay at home mom.  I've loved being able to raise my boys myself instead of having someone else do it for me.  I will go back to work eventually though.  I'd prefer something in an office, where I have set hours and would have the weekends off.
10. Do you wear makeup?  I wear lipgloss a lot.  Every once in a while I will wear mascara and eyeshadow.  
11. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?  No idea :P
