The Liebster Award

I was so excited to be included for the Liebster Award from Cat of The Simmonds and the Suburbs!  Cat is one of my favorite new bloggers to follow.  She is precious, sweet has an amazing taste in music and is a Texan...wish she lived in Houston though.  I feel like we would get together tons and really hit it off.  You must go check out her blog

The Liebster (meaning sweetheart or darling) Award is given to up and coming bloggers who have less than 200 followers.

The Rules!
Each person must post 11 facts about themselves
..and answer the 11 questions that are tagged for them
...and list the 11 bloggers you nominate
...and make up your own 11 questions to ask your nominees

Facts about me:
1.  I'm a Christian
2.  I'm a Taurus
3.  I always choose french when I get a pedicure.  If it get color on my toes, I always regret it.
4.  I'm a feminist, but not in a crazy, no shaving way

9.  I loved being a waitress in college
10.  One of my favorite smells is the smell of Lululemon...the store and the clothes.  I suppose it's the fabric they use.  Walk into one and you will understand.  I love it!
11. The movie Premonition (Sandra Bullock) made me sob for hours.  Our family now calls it "premonition crying" when someone sobs uncontrollably. 

Questions for me:
1. Who is your favorite musician/singer?  Coldplay
2. What college did you go to, what was your major?  University of North Texas, majoring in Communications Studies (minor in Women's Studies).  Also went to Houston Baptist University for an MBA.
3. Do you know who Lauren Bacall is? Of course!  Gorgeous actress who was married to Humphrey Bogart.
4. When entertaining, what is the most important factor to your event?  That your guests are comfortable.  And to have good food!
5. What is your home decor theme/style?  What would you call it...Contemporary Parisian chic...totally just made that up, but it works. 
6. What are your pet peeves?  When people ask why we don't have children yet and tell us we need to hurry up. 
7. Have you ever been to the symphony?  Yes, the Houston Symphony several times...Jason and I really enjoy it, but often forget about it!
8. How many times have you gotten a speeding ticket?  Far too many to admit.  I have a lead foot, but have slowed down since getting a company car. 
9. Where is the most interesting place you have visited?  Amsterdam
10. What is your holiday schedule like with your husband/BF?  Just watch the movie Four Christmases with Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn.
11. How/why did you start blogging?  Sad to admit, but I started blogging when I started my masters.  I had to sit in class for 4 hours at night after work...4 hours late at night is intense!  I always had my computer in front of me and my BFF/classmate was a blogger.  I got the itch to start one like her plus it gave me something to do in class when I started falling asleep...or wanted to put off my homework!  My bad habit stuck and now I only do it at appropriate times.  And yes, I completed the program!

  3. @KJJ Houston: No worries! Duh, Chels...I didn't even realize your blog was just focused on that, but what a fabulous idea to turn it into a printed baby book!

    @Vanessa: We missed you last night! Everything went great. Once you have baby and get settled into your new role, let's go get a french pedicure together!

  4. Hey Chelsea! Thanks for the award. I've actually been given this before so I would feel weird doing it again. Also, since I've been so SLOW in the posting department. Thanks again!
