Liebster Award....and more about me

Last week a faithful reader, Kara,  from Flowers of Quiet Happiness was so kind as to give me the Liebster Award! I feel honored that she enjoys my little blog here and thought of me when she looking for blogs to give it too. What I think is cool is that the reward is from a German word! Liebster = Favorite.

To make this Award more fun you name 11 random facts about yourself and answer the 11 questions the nominator asked you. Here we go...

Eleven random facts about me.....I'll list them as they pop in my head....

1. I can't stand potatoes....never did and probably never will. Most people are shocked when they here is but I just can't. I eat them hear and there but they are just nasty....I will eat fries (grease makes anything taste good) but of they get to big....they taste like potato and I don't like 'em. Mashed potato out of the box is the best thing....it doesn't taste like potatoe.
2. I put on Carmex right before I go to sleep. I almost can't fall asleep without. 
3. I am easily distracted.....I always had a hard time concentrating on one thing.
4. When I was four I ran around with a pencil in my skirt pocket, fell and stabbed it into my stomach. Nothing to horrible....I cried and it bled a bit.....and for about the next 6 years I had a grey dot an inch above my belly button.
5. I have been crazy about dogs since I was 6 months old...been bitten 4 times....2 times needed stiches...and still love dogs. ☺
6. I pretty much try every thing once. Who knows...I might find a new favorite food! And no....no snails....but frog legs & alligator!
7. English is easier for me than German....in German school I wrote B's & C's and in the American college I am writing A's and B's....pretty telling, huh?
8. I am not to crazy about icecream. Now that I am older I'll eat it more but I don't have to have it. The cone is the best part....I could lots and lots of cones!
9. When you half-half you don't belong to anything. In Germany I was "the American girl" when I go to the States I'm "the German girl".....tradition and lifestyle I am probably more German because I grew up here with my German mom but my interests, humor, likes and dislikes are more American.
10. I don't feel comfortable in the kitchen...rarely cook or bake....but thankfully everything I have made so far turned out pretty good....I also got an A in cooking!
11. Saturday's I like to sleep in and then just hang out in bed for awhile....read my Bible work on my laptop and just.....relaaaaxxxxxxxxxxxssssssssssssssss.
