Every once in a while, I get tagged for those 7/77 things, I always intend to get to them, but by the time I whittle down my daily list, it gets pushed back and I forget.. The Liebster Award (of which I know nothing) was something that my friend Chantal Boudreau tagged me in. I couldn't resist.. Read on to find out what it’s all about.

The rules:

1. Thank the person who nominated you. Thanks, Chantal

2. Post eleven random facts about yourself.

3. You answer the eleven questions asked by the person who nominated you.

4. You think of a new set of eleven questions and nominate eleven others to answer them.

6. I have a son (Cody) and daughter (Ronni--my oldest) born 5 months and 2 weeks apart.

7. My favorite band of all time is KISS.

8. I keep my head shaved as a choice, I can actually grow a very full head of hair.
