I'd Like to Thank the Academy . .
February 14, 2012
Last week, Janet over at HouseFour very kindly awarded me the Liebster award! The award is awarded by fellow bloggers to blogs with fewer than 200 followers to introduce them to a larger audience.
Anyways, when I heard about this me first thought was 'What the heck is a liebster', so being the pseudo-nerd that I am I turned to the all-knowing wizard otherwise known as Google and asked. Apparently leibster is a German word meaning sweetheart, beloved person, darling or liked very much.
When you're awarded the Liebster award there are 5 rules that you must follow. They are:
- Choose five up-and-coming blogs to award the Liebster to. These five blogs must have fewer than 200 followers.
- Show your thanks to the blogger who gave you the award by linking back to them.
- Post the award on your blog.
- List the bloggers you gave the award to with links to their sites. Leave comments on their blogs so they know about the award.
- Share 5 random facts about yourself.
Anyways, here is the list of blogs I like (In no particular order)
- Jo at As Is Home
- Bradley and Leena at Bye Bye, Brooklyn
- Lucy and Jess at I Love, I Need
- Kim at A Girl Called Kim
- Geena at The Sweetest Digs
Okay, and on to that boring part of ever award show - you know, when those uncomfortable looking accountants come out and explain how the results were tabulated:
5 random facts about me:
- I was born in Montreal, but grew up in Toronto
- I HATE the cold. This can be a problem given I live in Canada
- I was a synchronized swimmer growing up - even going to Nationals
- I don't float, which makes the preceding random fact rather ironic
- I LOVE to travel - the list of places I've visited is fairly long, but the list of places I want to see is even longer.

Your third and fourth facts are funny!

Errr, well it was Junior Nationals - perhaps I should have stated that :) I was 14, so yes, it was a big deal :)
