A6DC9380-EF2D-4CF7-9E04-E15242785E32I know many of you are absolutely shocked that I am participating in a tag! Thank you, Norrie, for tagging me! While I’ll be answering the questions from Norrie at Reading Under the Blankie, I am also dedicating this rare tag sighting to everyone who has tagged me in the past like Bibi, Krystin, Sarah, Princess of Pages, Amy, Zuky, Mischenko, and I know there are others, too.

The rules are:

1. Thank the blogger who nominated you in a blog post and link back to their blog.

2. Nominate 11 new blogs to receive the award and ask them 11 new questions.

3. List the rules and display the sunshine blogger award on your post and/or blog.

Here are Norrie’s questions:

#1 What is your favourite breakfast?

I love a Belgian waffle with lots of butter and a dab of syrup. Not pancakes but a waffle! We always had a waffle iron growing up, and I have one now. There is nothing better than breakfast for dinner!

#2 What was your dream job when you were a child? Are you in that career now?

I wanted to be a veterinarian as a child, and I am not one now. Everyone says this, but I couldn’t do it because I would never be able to euthanize an animal. I’m grateful there are people who can, but I still could never, ever do it. I love being around animals all the time. I wish we could have a house full and would love to start a rescue someday.

#3 How do you drink your coffee?

I don’t drink coffee! 😬 Or very rarely! Like maybe a unicorn Frappuccino or something?! 🦄 I know that’s weird! But I gave up caffeine a while ago and have not ever been a coffee drinker. I love the smell, though.

#4 What’s your current favourite TV show we should all check out?

Gosh, I don’t watch much TV, but I do I love Dateline and 48 Hours Mysteries, and my real favorite is Cold Justice, another true crime show, where old cold cases are solved by a team of pros. It’s amazing! Please watch it on Oxygen because I don’t want it to be cancelled!

#5 What is your favourite way to relax?

I like to sit in my sunroom that faces my backyard and read. It’s high off the ground and in the trees, and I’m surrounded by green and (usually) quiet. Unless someone is mowing his/her lawn, weed whacking, leaf blowing, or pressure washing, which is just about all the time.

#6 What gets your day off to a good start?

Oh, that’s a great question. If I get about 30 minutes of exercise before sitting down for breakfast, I am pretty content because it’s much easier for me to be active all day if I’ve gotten that first chunk early. I also like a glass of room temp lemon water first thing, too. It’s magic! ✨

#7 Do your friends & family follow your blog?

My mom reads my reviews, but mostly on Goodreads. I have one local friend who follows me (hey, Alison, if you are reading this!), and a small handful of local friends who know I blog. Most would not understand, so I keep it to myself. My husband has never read my blog!

#8 Would you be ok to stay in a cabin in the woods by yourself for a week?

Absolutely. I would love the peace and quiet and am pretty independent. I’d be ready to talk to people when I got back, though!

#9 Describe yourself in five words.

Compassionate. Sensitive. Loyal. Genuine. Enthusiastic.

#10 Do you travel light, or take half the house with you?

Probably in between, but closer to half the house. 😂 My husband truly takes half the house, so my pile is small by comparison. As we lugged bags (while lost!) through the narrow alleys of the Barri Gotic in Barcelona, we said never again, but I don’t think we’ve learned a bit!

#11 What are your hobbies, other than blogging?

I love gardening. Most of the pics you see on my blog are of my own flowers and plants, though I do buy some, too. Photography is another favorite pastime.  I also love dancing and exercising, especially spinning. Let me know if you want to know about the best online spinning classes ever! I take them on demand, and there’s tons of variety and great music, which is a must for spinning!

I really liked Norrie’s questions, so if anyone would like to answer them, here they are: (I hope that’s not a big faux pas, but I really do like them! ❤️)
