And Learn a Little More About Me
One
of the fun things about the A-Z challenge was finding new blog
friends. One of the ones I met during the challenge was Strayer at
her blog, Cat Eyes—A Cat Woman's Photos. Stayer's mission in life
is based on her love for cats. She takes care of stray cats by both
getting them fixed and addressing their medical needs. She does
this with a lot of hard work and little money. She blogs about her
adventures in capturing the cats, medical fixes, and cat behavior.
However, she also posts about her interesting past which includes
both some good and bad parts. Recently, I particularly enjoyed her
post about her adventures on her first motorcycle. That post brought
out some equally interesting stories in the comments. When you have a chance, you might give her blog a visit and learn about the important work she is doing.
Strayer nominated me for the Liebster Award which is a way for bloggers to introduce new people to their blogs. While I won't be doing the nominating part of the award, I will answer the questions that Strayer asked as part of the process because I always find it interesting to read the questions and answers that go with these awards.
Cats
or dogs? I think the answer to that is obvious—cats. However, I
do enjoy dogs. Most of them are so easy to please and always have a
tongue-hanging-out-of-the-mouth, happy expression.
Your
favorite book? That's a hard question because I have liked so many.
However if I had to pick one right now without thinking too much
about it, I'd pick the Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. I
love the awakening of the garden as well as the awakening of Colin
with fresh air and hard work.
Your
Favorite Movie? Once again a hard question, but I'll say, Singing in
the Rain. I love a good musical. Just thought of another one—To
Kill A Mockingbird. I love everything about it especially the
character of Scout.
Mass
transport commute or your own car? I drive most places I go because
mass transport is not available. However, I took the bus to work for
the five years I lived in New Orleans.
Eat
in or eat out? I prefer eating in. However, I'm perfectly okay if I
am eating take out while I'm eating in.
Noise
or silence: Definitely silence. I can't be around too much
noise/music/conversation, etc. until I need to get away. My brain
seems to get overstimulated from this.
Crowds
or alone: I don't mind a crowd as long as I don't have to figure out
how to maneuver in it. If I'm already in place, I like the
energy of a crowd. I also like my alone time.
Have
you ever been to a county fair? I have been to one many, many times.
I grew up going to one every year and have gone to the local one for
most of the 18 years we have lived here. I have sometimes shared my
fair visits on this blog.
Jet
ski or kayak? Kayak. I have never been on a jet ski and I'm not sure
that I'm coordinated enough to manage one. I have done some kayaking,
but I've done more canoeing.
TV
or book? If I'm honest, I'll say TV. Some think of TV as a wasteland,
but I think of TV as a relaxing activity where I can usually find a
program that makes me laugh. I also love to get lost in a book.
City
or country? No doubt about this one—country. I love to be in the
out of doors with space around. I have been the happiest when I have
been living in this setting. However, I worked in a city for several
years and enjoyed what it had to offer. I would often go out at lunch or after work to the big department stores, fancy restaurants, and tourist
attractions. However, I was always glad to leave it in the evening.
Thanks to Strayer for the nomination and providing these questions for you to learn a little more about me.
