Sunshine Blogger Award

Woo HOO!!!  Feeling Blogging LOVE this A.M.  🙂

Maya nominated me for the Sunshine Blogger Award!  🙂  I love her blog.  She’s honest and funny and when I read her Break the Silence… Even if I break People? post… Let’s just say that you shouldn’t drink and read (unless you were needing to clean your monitor off anyway) and leave it at that, shall we?

What is the Sunshine Blogger Award?

The Sunshine Blogger Award is a way for bloggers to get to know each other and also get other bloggers to link to their website.

To accept the Sunshine Award, I have to:

1. Acknowledge the nominating blogger with a link to the website.
2. Share 11 random facts about myself by answering the questions the nominating blogger has created for me.
3. List 11 bloggers I believe deserve some recognition and a little blogging love! (I can’t nominate the blogger who nominated me.)
4. Let the 11 bloggers know I nominated them.
5. Post 11 questions for the bloggers I nominate to answer.

My 11 nominations are:

1.  The AnonymouSTalker for also causing me to have to clean my laptop screen
2. Heart and Harp Strings, who needs some love since her bff is moving away 😦
3. Lord of the Trekkies – because you all need to go wish this kid a happy birthday!
4. Holmanese – she needs you all to go distract her from writing and apartment focusing
5. Michael’s Origins –  hello???  Sherlock unlocking the past…  worth reading just for that!
6. Reader Rayna – for adding to my TBR pile 🙂
7. Itsgoodtobecrazysometimes – no explanation needed.  it’s right there in the name.

3. What are you most afraid of? and why  I’m afraid of heights…  I have no idea why.
