A BIG thanks to Laurel at My Journey Into Darkness (https://myjourneyintodarkness.wordpress.com) for this award nomination! She is one smart, astute, articulate writer and a close friend. Check out her blog, if you don’t know her yet! She honors me, with this nomination.
Here are the rules.
1. Thank the person who nominated you.
2. Answer the questions from the person who nominated you.
3. Nominate other bloggers for this award.
4. Write the same amount of questions for the bloggers you have nominated.
5. Notify the bloggers you have nominated.
Here are her questions, with my answers:
1. Have you ever stolen anything? Yes, when I was about 12 or 13, I stole a magazine, I think it was Dig magazine or something stupid. I was with my friends. We were all trying to be “bad.” We were all unsuccessful at being bad, too much conscience, lol. Felt wickedly guilty and fearful and never did it again.
2. If you could only eat one vegetable for the rest of your life, which one would it be? God I love veggies, how do I pick one? I guess I’d have to pick lettuce so I could have a salad.
3. What did you want to be when you grew up? Rich, lol.
4. Do you “picture” what I look like? If so, describe me. Well I have seen pics of you from the back so of course you have long blond hair. But I think of you as gorgeous. Like model thin, because I know all you eat, er, drink is Boost, lol. Tho when you come to FL I may try to change that, lol. I think of you as having a mischievous gleam in your eyes….
5. Who has been the biggest inspiration in your life? So many…but I think I have to say my mother.
6. If you couldn’t blog, what would you do? Probably be admitted to the state mental hospital, because it keeps me sane.
7. What do you consider to be an unpardonable sin? You know me….I think all sins can be atoned, if a person has true remorse. But the hardest one for me, would be sins committed against children.
8. If you could torment anybody, who would you choose and how would you torment them? Donald Trump, by having him lose to Bernie. Dancing in the lobby of Trump Towers with Feel the Bern signs.
9. What is the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you? I don’t embarrass easily, I generally get a good laugh out of it. But I would have to say farting at an inopportune intimate moment.
10. What is your middle name? Elizabeth, after my grandmother
11. Who would you take to a deserted island and would you leave them there if you were rescued? Scott, he always said he wanted to be alone anyway.
My questions:
- The ocean or the mountains?
- Extreme heat or extreme cold?

Love your answers to #3, #8 and #11. LOL (My grandmothers’ middle name was Elizabeth!)
Congratulations!”😃 💜 Seems we are all connected you me and Laurel through the name Elizabeth. It is my middle name too! 😊
Oh wow, that is so cool! When I was young I hated my name because it was so long to write, lol. Deborah Elizabeth, lol. I kind of like it now though. And like it even better knowing it’s yours too. 🙂
It is a strange coincidence; I hated it too, when I was younger! Haha. But now I think it is quite nice. Especially when it is connected with you also. 😊 And also with Laurel apparently but through her grandma. 😊 xo
Oh PS, I would have nominated you, but Laurel beat me to it, lol.
Haha I know how those things can be… it has been several times when I didn’t nominate and of you guys cause someone else had just nominated. … so No worries at all! I know what it is like.
😊
Yes, since she was nominated first, she nominated a few people I would have. It’s a close knit circle we have, lol.
Yes, indeed! Sometimes I have to look at some newer bloggers just to find new people to nominate, sort of. Since the old bloggie friends we always nominate each other haha. 😃 💜
Thanks for the nomination! I’ll answer you here.
1. Both
2. Extreme heat
3. I would say no and tell my husband the truth even though it hurt him.
4. I write as a stress reliever to process my thoughts to allow myself to heal.
5. Alone with my wandering thoughts.
6. No I don’t have a hero.
7. I don’t have any favorite books.
8. No favorite relatives either..
9. My favorite age would be 4 when I still believe in life, the magic and beauty of just being. After that it all went downhill.
10. I love to create things from cooking to poetry to makeup to dancing.
