If you have been nominated for The Liebster Award and you choose to accept it, you must write a blog post about the Liebster award in which you:
1. Thank the person who nominated you and post a link on your blog. Virtual Admin To Go DONE
2. Display the award on your blog by including it in your post and/or displaying it using a “widget”. DONE
3. Answer the 11 questions about yourself provided to you by the person who nominated you. DONE
4. Give 11 random facts about you. DONE

6. Create a new list of questions for the nominated bloggers to answer. DONE
7. List these rules in your post. (You can copy and paste them from here.) DONE
Once you have written your post and published it you then have to:
8. Inform the bloggers whom you’ve nominated for the Liebster award. Remember to give a link for them to your post so that they can learn about it (they might not have ever heard of it!) DONE

I hate the hoop jumping too. But I do see the advantage of introducing others to blogs and writers that should be shared with others.
Yup, I understand. But sometimes you just have to skip the whole hoop thing. 🙂
All I have to say is how much I love you. Thanks for jumping and I'll go on a cruise with you,
I think I will slip the whole cruise thing given how much they have been in the news lately, in a very negative way. And I love you too my friend. 🙂
ROTFL about "I would tell you, but then I would have to kill you". I loved that answer. BTW: thanks for the shout out my friend.
Killing is bad for readership, so I hear. LOL And Your Welcome my friend.
I am drinking some Starbucks as I type this 😉 Just the other day I was thinking about penny candy too when I saw a red gummy fish smashed on the sidewalk. I used to go to Mary's Country Store and load up on those and candy cigarettes back in the day…
Ah yes… the candy cigarettes. I remember those fondly.
Ha! I like how you got out of the last one. "all the readers." By the way, we just went to see the giant X-wing fight made entirely of Legos. Talk about geekdom!
I bet the boys were a handful at the exhibit! 🙂
Congrats on yet another award, Cheryl!
Now, slap yourself for saying dark chocolate is a junk food! It is no such thing! Wait until my book comes out. You will read an entire chapter about the health benefits of dark chocolate. It truly is a power food if you are eating good quality dark chocolate of at least 70% cocoa. Now … go apologize to your chocolate.
I love you Doreen! My secret no longer has to stay in the shadows! 🙂
I have this visual – you are watering your houseplants, eating your dark chocolate and mistakenly, pouring your Starbucks into their soil while drinking their water.
Congratulations Cheryl! Fun post.
I am not quite sure how to take that comment, but I choose to laugh. 🙂 You may very well have hit on why my house plants always die. LOL
