Gosh, I’ve just been the worst lately. And so has Kitty. You know I love my Kitty. He’s such a Kat. But lately he’s just been a total butt. He’s peed on the couch, and at night he has turned into a Cirque du Soleil performer and is using our bedroom as his custom pop-up tent. WHY? We had a solid two years of just, normal Kitty. Sleep on the foot of the bed or behind my head Kitty. Can we have him back? Because if I have to throw a pillow at him at 3am again, I’m just going to cry.
First – exciting news. I’ve won my very first BLOG AWARD! My dear Cyndi from Healthy A-Z nominated me for a Liebster Blog award. You’ll see the pretty badge on the sidebar. THANK YOU, Cyndi!
Now, I must answer these five questions:
- What 3 words best describe you? Tired, random, hungry.
- What is your favorite clothing item? Embarrassing… My Old Navy yoga pants.
- If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live? St. Martin.
- Knowing what you know now, what advice would you give yourself as a child? Just relax and enjoy being a kid – nothing is that crucial!
- What is your favorite song? Right now, Poison and Wine by The Civil Wars.
I also am to tell you 5 random things about myself. Uh Oh:
- All but one of my baby teeth had to be manually extracted. They were strong and not leaving.
- Obviously, I hate the Dentist.
- Even though I love my baby, I still prefer dogs to babies.
- I enjoy living in new and unfamiliar places.
- Ethiopian food is my favorite.
And now for the fun part – I get to nominate my 5 favorite blogs for a Liebster! Drum roll?!
So, for the nominees, here are the rules!

I will be back – pinky swear – because I have a recipe for IRISH NACHOS that will rock your Superbowl Sunday. Seriously. Pinky Swear.
And here. Because I got a fancy new camera, and my subjects are adorbs.

Thanks for sharing the award with us! And, I can’t wait to hear about these nachos… that word always gets my attention.
Healthy A-Z
Oh, I liked your song choice! I’m curious…which side of St Martin – French or Dutch? It is a great place. By the way, Heather is a nice name and it goes very well with Healthy A-Z, but my name is Cyndi. Hehe. And thank you for the nomination!

Wow – I am SO sorry! I’ve been calling you Heather in my head (obviously) this whole time. I’m really sorry, Cyndi! And edited the post. *beet red*
If I could afford it, the French side for sure! I lived on the Dutch side for a year. I love it there! Have you been recently? It’s been years for me.

Please don’t worry at all about the name switch. Really! Mine doesn’t show up as easily as yours. I think mine is only in my About section. So, I’ll’ consider a remedy in a future site revision. Sending a hug…
I haven’t been to St Martin in years, but I really enjoyed my one week on the French side.

thank you, thank you! This post gave me a much needed giggle – I heartily agree with your take on Old Navy yoga pants (they rock my world) and the randomness of cats (why, after years of ‘normal’ behaviour do they suddenly spaz out? I think all cats have crushing mental problems…in a good way).
P.S I’m Irish and I LOVE nachos. Girl, you are speaking my language..can’t wait to read that post.
Sarah S.
Uh oh! I hope my “nachos” are up to snuff. I forgot to use the quotes earlier, but should have. Loosely defined!
You’re welcome! <3
