Facts of the Liebster Award:
The Liebster Award's origins are pretty much a mystery. Bloggers nominate other bloggers that have 200 or less followers. It's basically a "Hey, that's a sweet little blog you've got there. Here's an award!" You can't just accept the award. You have to play by the (ever changing) rules and pay it forward. Then you can put the award on your blog for all to see.
Rules:
Each person must post 11 things about themselves.
Answer the questions that the nominator set for you, plus create 11 questions for the people you've nominated to answer.
Choose 11 people and link them in your post.

11 Things About Me:
- I have a pointless hope that one day *NSYNC will reunite. I know it will probably never happen but a girl can dream!
- I don't have any close friends. Every time I've ever opened myself up to someone I've either gotten hurt or they have died (my bff died two years ago in a car accident), so I'm completely closed off most of the time.
- Although I don't have close friends, Paul is my best friend and to me that's worth 10 close friends.
- I hate my house being a tiny bit of a mess, it drives me wild! I have to vacuum and sweep everyday!
- I used to not be close with my MIL, to be honest, we HATED each other but as time has gone on I actually enjoy being around her and holding a conversation with her.
- My all time favorite color is lime green but I enjoy decorating with lots of different colors.
- I've been to several concerts in the past, everything from Britney Spears to Incubus to Trina. I've been to so many I couldn't even keep count anymore!
- My favorite Holiday is Halloween but I love decorating for Christmas!
- Our cat Pepper that recently had kittens a few months back is pregnant again and due anytime in the next week or so. I'm pretty excited! The daddy is my cat Max this time, after this litter she's getting fixed... that little hooker! ;)
- I could shop at IKEA every week for the rest of my life and never get sick of it!
- I'm obsessed with getting my eyebrows waxed. I think it drives Paul a little crazy too. lol
