Here in Chi-town we’ve been blessed with a string of gorgeous days with 100% sunshine. What better to time to spread some of that around? Elle was sweet enough to honor me with the Sunshine Award. Thanks Elle!
The Rules:
1. Include award logo in a post or on your blog.
2. Link to the person who nominated you.
3. Answer 10 questions about yourself.
4. Nominate 10 bloggers to receive the award. Link your nominees to the post and comment on their blogs letting them know they’ve been nominated.
- Best childhood memory? Probably the summer days spent with my grandparents. We’d hike, bike, swim and play all day. They were extremely fun loving and young at heart.
- Nicest time of year? Probably right now, although the fall colors are just barely starting.
- Favorite flower? Oh so many great ones. I’ll go with hyacinth because they’re beautiful and fragrant too.
- Scary food you would never ever even taste? Oysters.
- Zodiac sign? Sagittarius.
- What spice would describe you? Curry. Even yet complex, with a notable finishing kick.
- Snooze button or jump out of bed? The latter. No alarm needed.
- Morning drink? Coffee when I allow it, which is often, lately.

Favorite color? Green
If you could do anything without failing, what would it be? Be a professional runner?
Sweet or salty snacks? Sweet, definitely.
In what grade did you have your best teacher ever? My 8th grade English teacher was amazing. I remember more from him than any other grade, including college.
Pets? Bungee the greatest dog in the history of dogs!
Name a bucket list item you are proud to have in the bucket. – Marathon 🙂
Dream vacation? Sitting on the beach
Least offensive chore? Laundry
Running/fitness gear you are loving now? I’m loving NOT running with my Garmin. Does that count?
Hah! Love your post, Marcia! And you caught me still in my jammies ‘dress’ this morning! Have a great weekend. And thanks for playing along.
I did this today, too! You had some great questions to answer. Love the childhood memory with your grandparents. My parents would LOVE if those were L’s memories of her childhood someday!
I had a really awesome 6th grade teacher. It was my 1st male teacher and he was so much fun:) Dream vacation is Galapagos Island.
I’m driving over and taking you to get oysters right now! Oysters Rockefeller is one of the most delicious foods ever. Yum! Yum!
I don’t have a favorite flower. Jason bought me a dozen roses once when we were dating and I told him they were beautiful but a waste of money. I’d rather have a magazine. I get a magazine almost every Valentine’s day. Usually something hard to find on some sort of weird subject that I’m interested in at the moment.
Love these posts!!!
Dream vacation – anyplace with a nice warm beach!!!
