And The Award Goes To...ME!

A few weeks ago, Everyday Girl nominated me for the Liebster Award. Thank you so much! I love the chance to get to read new blogs and I'm honored that people take the time to let me know that they like mine. I was nominated previously, so I really don't have anyone to nominate, but I love to participate in these kinds of things (because, hey, isn't that what blogging is all about?).



For those that haven't heard of the Liebster Award:

This award is for an aspiring blogger with less than 300 followers.
Rules:
- Answer the questions the tagger has asked you
- List 10 bloggers you nominate and link them in your post. Let them know
- Create 10 questions for the bloggers you have tagged to answer.

So here goes:
1) What is your favorite book or movie?
My favorite movie of all time is Princess Bride because I'm pretty sure that it's required by law that everyone chooses Princess Bride as their favorite movie. Plus, it really is awesome, so who can argue with that?
Another favorite of mine is Clueless. I can't help it, that movie never gets old.


2) Do your friends and family know you blog or are you anonymous?
I'm definitely not anonymous and my friends and family know about my blog. They just don't really read it as far as I know. I'm assuming this is because they get their fill of my awesomeness in person on a regular basis and really have no need to get more of it via my blog. Or it's because I'm actually super boring and my friends and family have no need to find proof of this fact through my blog. Either way, I'm fairly certain none of them are reading any of this.

3) Where would you like to be in 5 years time?
Working for the FBI or colonizing Mars. Or more likely, at the same job because I don't cope well with change. I'm hoping I will have found the man of my dreams by that time, but my track record in choosing suitable mates is lacking to say the least, so it's possible I'll be an aging spinster with a lot of cats. (Please note, that I currently do not have any cats, so I'm not crazy, yet.) If you would like to be the love of my life, let me know. I'm interviewing...



4) What is your favorite blog?
This is hard because I love a lot of different blogs. So in the interest of not hurting any one's feelings, I'm excluding any of my friends that have blogs. One blog that I love to read and makes me laugh on a regular basis is Eat Watch Run. Seriously, she's hilarious.
5) Name one thing you have always been good at?
Riding horses. I've been showing horses since I was 11 years old. It's been such a huge part of my life for decades that I can't even imagine me life without riding.
6) What do you do to relieve stress?
Running is really the best stress reliever, but hey I'm human. Sometimes a Reese's Peanut Butter Egg also does the trick. ( And yes, the eggs are better than regular peanut butter cups.)



Come to Mama...

7) What is your favorite color?
Blue. My favorite color to wear is black. Maybe my inner goth needs an outlet.


Having a necklace makes it totally legit, right?

8) Do you have a bucket list?
Definitely. In fact, I really should add a page to this blog just to list all of the things on my bucket list. Probably the item that's been on the list the longest, even before anyone coined the phrase, "bucket list", was to visit Egypt. I started reading and planning my Egypt adventure when I was 8 years old.
9) If you could use one word to describe yourself, what would it be?
Compassionate.
10) Do you have a favorite quote, what is it?
"If we did all of the things we were capable of, we would literally astound ourselves." ~ Thomas A. Edison
 Thanks again to Everyday Girl for nominating me!

A is for "All About"



A is for All About Moi

I figured I wouldn't bore you with the usual "all about me" surveys. Instead, I scrounged up a few of my favorite pictures and I will let them do the talking...






Since I always blog about my running adventures with T, here is a picture of us at Disneyland over New Year's Eve 1997-1998...
Typical behavior
...when we still smoked a pack a day and drank like it was going out of style. And to think a mere 14 years later, our Disney pictures now look like this:

One of my coolest experiences:

Ending up in Paris on Bastille Day by accident and watching fireworks by the Eiffel Tower in 2007.

If I ever get turned into a zombie, this is what I will look like:

Now, that is hot...
This is how I unwind:

Serious brain freeze is about to happen...
My favorite picture:

Washington DC, December 2009
Horses are my life:

Arizona State Fair 1989...I'm on the left

World Championships 1995
Horse showing today... a little more laid back now.

Family photos:

My sister, Melissa, and I

Me and my dad

Melissa and me
Hmmm...I don't seem to have a picture of my mom and me on my computer. I will have to rectify that...

My favorite city:

I love NY
Yep, I was a choir geek for many, many years. Too bad I don't have real musical talent!

1998
Me in high school.

WTF is happening with my bangs?!
Just a typical day at work:

I don't even want to know how many calories are in that thing.
Note I found on my desk this morning:

My dear friend, Kim and I hanging out in Washington, DC:

Washington DC 2010
My horse thinks he's a dog:

Ridiculously cute

So that wraps up this random all about me little photo blog entry. Tomorrow I shall bring you the letter B. Today's entry entry has been brought to you by the letter A.
