Earlier this week I was nominated for a Liebster Award by a reader. Basically this is a like a chain-letter blog love fest. A reader with her own blog <\/a>included me in a list of blogs she really loves. Thank you!!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not going to follow all the rules (because that\u2019s not my style), but I thought I\u2019d answer the questions my fellow blogger posed on her post and then recommend a few blogs myself.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. What is your favorite quote\/proverb? I don\u2019t have one. Really.<\/li>\n
  2. Do you prefer incense or candles and why? Both! If I had to only have one I\u2019d choose the candle, because sometimes incense can make me sneeze, especially if I have a cold coming on.<\/li>\n
  3. What is your favorite music genre? Again, I can\u2019t pick just one. I love music, but I barely listen to it. Mostly I need music without words; my head is already too full, and the kids too noisy, to put up with yet another person\u2019s words! Mostly if I choose music it is symphonic or ambient.<\/li>\n
  4. Do you have any artistic skills (draw, write, sing, etc.)? I am a classically trained singer.<\/li>\n
  5. Grease or Footloose and why? Footloose. Grease always annoyed the crap out of me. When I was 9 I would put on my Footloose soundtrack LP and choreograph entire dances.<\/li>\n
  6. What is your dream job? I\u2019m living it! Writing, thinking, raising my kids.<\/li>\n
  7. Of all the books you own, which do you consider the most sacred? The Complete Adventures of Snugglepot and Cuddlepie<\/em> by May Gibbs, a gift given to me by my aunt when I was born. As for spiritual sacred texts, I no longer hold one text as more sacred than another.<\/li>\n
  8. Do you have any phobias? As I get older heights get much harder. I also feel funny about moths and bats. But I have no true phobia.<\/li>\n
  9. Who would you prefer to have as a child: Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger or Jason Voorhees, and why? I don\u2019t know who those people are. Other than Freddy Krueger, and ew.<\/li>\n
  10. What song are you not ashamed to say you love? Oh, I have a love of cheesy pop music. I will admit here and now that there are some Katy Perry songs that I quite enjoy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    And now for two blogs that you might not know about. Confessions of a Hedge Witch<\/a> is a smart, witchy blog by a priestess, academic, and all around wild woman. When Death Calls<\/a> is infrequent, but dark and poetic. I enjoy both and you might too!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
