Rock (the) Liebster!

So, on Tuesday I was nominated for a Liebster Award by Courtney! I was surprised and excited at the opportunity to talk more about myself (only slightly kidding...) and to learn more about some of you! 

Here are the rules:

1. Each person must list 11 random things about themselves. 

2. Answer the 11 questions that the tagger has set for you, and you must also create 11 questions of your own for the 11 people you present this award to. 

3. Choose up to 11 bloggers, linking them to your post. 

4. Go to their blog and inform them of the nomination. 

5. Absolutely NO tag-backs! 

6. Remember to ONLY tag bloggers with less than 200 followers.

Here are my eleven random facts:

1. I've always been obsessed with finding out what I'm meant to do with my life.

2. My favorite food is mashed potatoes and gravy.

3. I've never been able to do a pull-up.

4. I always order my cheeseburgers plain.

5. I have a knack for meeting famous people (it's true- Nicolas Cage on a roller coaster, Sigourney Weaver in Williams Sonoma... just to name a couple!).

6. I am very competitive. Like Ricky Bobby says, "If you're not first, you're last." (I'm working on it.)

7. I love getting my back scratched. If I could pay someone to scratch my back for an hour instead of a massage, I totally would.

8. I lived in Germany a few years ago. I miss it!

9. As a third-grader, I once attempted to sneak out of school to get lunch across the street at Taco Bell. (I managed to get out of the school unnoticed, but was caught in the parking lot by a random parent. Foiled again!)

10. I HATE TWILIGHT.

11. I could watch Bravo TV all day.

Here are Courtney's questions:

1. What color describes you? Probably red

2. What movie could you watch over and over again? Love Actually 

3. What's your worst habit? Procrastination

4. What's your biggest goal? To raise Miles as a gentleman (and a scholar). No big.

5. Who's your favorite actor and actress? Ooh- Colin Firth and Meryl Streep

6. Where's the best place you've ever visited? Definitely Bavaria

7. Where's the one place you hope to go someday? Rome

8. What's the most interesting thing on your bucket list? To be able to do a pull-up

9. What's your favorite song? Claire de Lune by Debussy

10. What kind of phone do you have? An iPhone 4S (I love you, Siri!)

11. What's on your to-do list today? To finish this blog post, find two more Lemony Snickett books for my sister, and to fill the gas tank in my car.
