Liebster Numero Dos

I'd like to thank the Academy, it's been a long hard film..../wakes up from random movie star filled dream, don't mind the drool you're imagining on my pillow.

Once again Ladies and Gents I've been nominated for a Liebster Award.  This time by Momfia Tees!  What a great honor this truly is.  I'm not sure how this works the second time around but I shall try my best to get the job done.  Read on Smarties what will you find about me this time? Muahaha.

Here are the rules for the Liebster:
*Post 11 random facts about yourself.
*Choose 11 deserving bloggers and tag them in your post.
*Tell them you’ve tagged them.
*Answer 11 questions the tagger has asked you, and give 11 questions to the people you’ve tagged.
*No tag backs.

 RANDOM STUFF ABOUT ME

1.  I really want a Starbucks Frappucino right now.

2.  I'd really like a full on tasty cup of coffee filled with caffeine, cream, and actual sugar.

3.  I'm beginning to think I'm going through real coffee withdrawals, someone help me please!

4.  Too Smart why don't you just drink a cup of Joe?  Well I'll tell you adoring Smarties, repercussions of my surgery...decaf ONLY, sugar free, no cream.

5.  Well you know what they say Too Smart, once you go black...you never go back.  WRONG, just wrong bring me that smooth cup of Joe I'm accustomed to.

6.  Tired of me rambling on about coffee?  Good, because I'm not.

7.  Seven is my favorite number and also one of my favorite films.

8.  I once had a coffee maker that only made 8 cups of fresh brewed coffee.

9.  I prefer dark roast coffee.

10.  I once joked with a few good friends about Juan Valdez showing up at our windows with fresh coffee beans.  (His donkey too.)

11.  I had my first cup of coffee when I was about 6 years old, a love affair for the ages.



THE ELEVEN DEADLY QUESTIONS (not involving coffee)
 
 1. What's your favorite swear word substitution?
 CRAP!

2. Boxers or Briefs?
Commando.  

3. Vampires or Werewolves?
Vampires, not the sparkly kind.  Deep, dark, twisty Anne Rice kind. 

4. If you could choose any career what would it be?
Teacher, Lawyer, or Scientist.  These are the same choices I've had since I was a wee lass...you'd    think I'd have acted on one of these by now. 

5. You're raiding the kids' Halloween stash. What are you taking?
 Everything laden in chocolate, ok no...I'm not that over indulgent.  Probably Snickers or a Tootsie Pop. 

6. If you could only watch one movie for the rest of your life what would it be?
The Shawshank Redemption, through and through the best movie I've ever had the pleasure of viewing.

7. What's your favorite book?
 Too many to list, many Anne Rice books come to mind though.

8. Do you take your favorite coffee or tea with? cream or sugar?
OMG!  I almost forgot about coffee, THANKS ALOT!!!

Colby Jack is my favorite and least is anything that smells of death.

Water or COFFEE, not too much into Pop/Soda.

Tomboy Fashionista!

I'm a Winner!

Tuesday I had surgery, coming out of anesthesia isn't all that pleasant.  Once I got to my suite, regained my senses, and felt less like death I fired up the iPad and checked my emails.  In my email I found that Graceful Disaster...Life, Parenting & Humor   commented on my post regarding the pre surgery liquid diet.  In said comment she notified me that she had given me the Liebster Award!  Thank you so much Graceful Disaster, I appreciate it and it is quite humbling.  It brought my first legitimate post op, out of anesthesia smile...priceless.  Many thanks!



Here are the rules:  

1. Choose 5 up & coming blogs to pass the Liebster Award on to.  Each blog must have less than 200 followers. 


2. Show your thanks & appreciation to the blogger than gave you the award by  linking back to them.


3. Share 5 random facts about yourself.


4. Post the award to your blog.



Five Random Facts:

1.  I'm not sure how random this fact is but it's the first that comes to mind.  My name is April.  Yes, as in the fourth month. Believe it or not I was born in this month.  Big props to my parents for using the first thing they could think of.  (Just kidding)  This has brought relentless teasing though life such as "Oh I bet your middle name is MAY bahahaha."  ...No it's not.  

2.  I despise "chick flicks."  So and so feel in love?  Well that's great, I don't care.  Give me a good ol fashioned horror show and I'll be satisfied.  

3.  Mashed potatoes without gravy is my favorite food.  Yes, I'm the girl who you may or may not have seen in a restaurant ordering mashed potatoes as a meal.  Sorry Emeril, none of that fancy stuff for me BAM just salt and butter please! 

4.  To me, the term dressing up means "nice" jeans and a "fancy" top with the possibility of some sort of matching flip flop.   I'm 33 years old maybe sometime soon I'll embrace a little bit more fashion sense, then again maybe not.  I prefer comfort to feeling like there's a stick up my ass.  

5.  I'm the kind of Mom who yells at her boys for playing video games wrong.  Whether it's using the spacebar to jump or R1 to aim, I'm always there to teach them the important things in life.  Someday, they'll thank me.  lol.

Drumroll Please...
