Mystery Blogger Award, Q&A Time & Three Things About Me

You've probably seen these blogger awards floating around out there. Someone nominates you for an award, you answer some questions and you nominate other people. Kind of like a chain letter.

I've been nominated for some of these before - like the Liebster Award and the Sunshine Blogger Award - but it's been a while. So when I got nominated for the Mystery Blogger Award, I thought, hey, why not go for it. Live a little. Have some fun. Procrastinate unpleasant boat chores for a while. You get the idea. 


The Rules

1 - Put the award/logo on your blog.

Done

2 - List the rules.

You're reading them.

3 - Thank whoever nominated you and provide a link to their blog.

Thanks to Angela for the nomination! Check out her blog here. She's a neat lady and fellow member of the Insecure Writer's Support Group.

4 - Mention the creator of the award and provide a link as well.

Check out Okoto Enigma's blog here. 

5 - Tell your readers three things about yourself.

See below.

6 - Nominate a whole bunch of people for the award.

I like to break rules from time to time, so rather than formally nominate anyone, I'll leave it up to all you guys. Interested in doing a post about three things about yourself? Then nominate yourself for the Mystery Blogger Award and share some fascinating facts about yourself with us.

7 - Notify your nominees.

Since I broke Rule #6, I guess I'm also breaking this rule.

8 - Ask your nominees any five questions of your choice, including one funny or weird one.

Question #1 - Are you a rule follower or rule breaker and why?
Question #2 - Do you write in cursive or do you print?
Question #3 - What's your favorite cookie? 
Question #4 - Do you believe in alien abduction?
Question #5 - What's the latest TV show that you binge watched?

9 - Share a link to your best post.

I don't like this rule either, so I'm going to ignore it. Instead, I'll give you a link to a page which lists all of our posts about our time living and cruising in New Zealand. Maybe you'll find something interesting there.


3 Things About Me

1 - I don't like sweet iced tea. I don't understand how people can drink it. Strange, I know, given my lifelong love of sugary treats.

2 - I don't like cartoons or animated films. Who is Nemo anyway? Why can't anyone find him? I'll never know the answers to these questions.

3 - I love roller coasters. We used to go to Geauga Lake and Cedar Point in Ohio every year as kids. Riding the roller coasters was the highlight.


Answers to Angela's Questions

1 - What's your favorite smell?

Chocolate chip cookies fresh out of the oven. I'm sure that surprises nobody.

2 - If you could choose to keep one memory, what would it be?

Good question. This is going to require a lot of thought. Can I get back to you on this one? That is if I remember to because apparently all of my memories are about to be wiped out due to some sort of alien invasion.

3 - If you were put in charge of a meet & greet for our first alien visitors, what would your advice be?

Try a chocolate chip cookie. Just one bite and you'll be hooked.

4 - If you had to be a tree, which one would you be?

Uh, no clue. I guess one that has nice flowers. Or maybe a maple tree because I like maple syrup on my pancakes. But, how would I eat pancakes if I was a tree due to the lack of opposable thumbs?

5 - What was your favorite story book as a child?

I don't know what the name of it was, but it was a series of stories about children who lived in other countries. I didn't know what anthropology was at the time, but maybe that book sparked my interest in it and why I majored in it at college.

What about you? Want to share three things about yourself and answer my questions either in the comments or on your blog?

Thanks for stopping by our blog - we love it when people come visit! We're also on Facebook - pop by and say hi!
