The Liebster Award

Bryce Warden from  http://wasthatmyoutloudvoice.com/ a fellow blogger has nominated me for the Liebster Award, and I feel honored, thankful, and relieved to get to write a post answering her 11 questions. It can be daunting to generate three new posts weekly, in fact last week I managed only two. This week I’ll be getting back to three posts, but it’s summer now, which means heat, vacations, and the accompanying laziness, and lethargy.

Please visit Bryce’s blog, as well as the 11 folks I’ve nominated. I hope they’ll be pleased by my attention.

 

1. Do you have a recurring dream? I don’t anymore, but when my daughter was small I was haunted with dreams of getting separated from her in places like busy railroad stations, and other places it would be terrifying to lose a child.

2. Where is your favorite place to visit? This is a tough one. I love to travel, and have gotten to go to many wonderful places all over the planet, but one of my favorites just a short drive from home is Grounds for Sculpture.

3. What do you think is the most underrated quality in modern society? This is a tough one. I think in many ways things have gotten easier for us. Everything from GPS systems that keep us from getting lost (mostly), to staying in touch with people, to parallel parking.

4. If you could live in any time period, which would you pick? I love to fantasize about this, and there are many that are intriguing… I’d love to have lived in Ancient Greece, Paris in the 1920s, or Italy in the late fifteenth century, though I am a huge fan of indoor plumbing and hot showers.

5. Funny or serious? Yes

6. What is your number one pet peeve? That is like asking me my favorite color; I have so many it’s hard to choose one. I think maybe littering, especially smokers who toss cigarette butts like they’ll magically evaporate.

7. Dogs or cats? Another close race, but I’m going to go with cats since I have two of them and no dogs.

8. If you could have one super power what would it be? Time travel

9. Favorite thing about yourself? My sunny outlook.

10. On a scale of one to ten how much do you hate the Liebster Award (and btw, so, so, sorry)? 2

11. What is your number one fear? Dying young, but I may have lived beyond that already
