June 8th, 2012

Today via Twitter and Eldritch’s blog, I discovered that I was awarded an award! It was actually a double nomination! Kolo Martin gave it to me too! I’m a very lucky bear!

As part of the award, there are ten questions to answer. Mom loves quizzes, so we’re okay with it!

Here we go!

1. My favorite number?- My favorite number is 17. It’s mostly because it was Mom’s favorite number when she was a little girl. She doesn’t remember why! Now she’s decided it’s interesting because it is a prime number. The fear of the number 17 is heptadecaphobia, which is a great word!

2. My favorite non-alcoholic drink?- Our favorite drink around here is Coca-Cola!

3. Facebook or Twitter?- Mom says that we have enough social networks to check, so she says no Facebook for me. She seems to like Facebook the most, but we have a program called Trillian that combines all of our Facebook and Twitter feeds and shows them as little pop-up windows as we browse around the internet, so we see both. (It’s actually a chatting program, but you can sign up your social networks that you can chat with, so it works peachy!)

4. My passion?- Books! Naps!

5. My favorite pattern?- Clouds in the sky? Tree leaves? Hm.

6. Favorite day of the week?- Since my mom works retail, we don’t really have a favorite day. Her days off vary, so I would have to say that my favorite day is any day she’s not at work!

7. Favorite flowers?- Tulips, roses, daisies, and apple blossoms!

I shall now tell you about five blogs that my mom and I read. I don’t know if they read my blog, but it’s the thought that counts! Most of the other award winners are the plushie blogs that we would’ve listed here, so we decided to go a different route!

1. Julie Zickerfoose- This lady likes birds and has a dog named Chet Baker. Chet Baker has his own Facebook page!

2. Dr. Scott Sampson’s Whirlpool of Life- This is the paleontologist from Dinosaur Train. He writes about paleontology and science.

3. Neil Gaiman- Certainly a very good author no matter what your favorite book genre is, but is also one of Mom’s favorite-ist people ever. (Well, we think he’s probably a very cool guy!)

4. Living with Anteaters- They don’t really explain why or how they got pet anteaters, but this lady has them!

5. Atlas Obscura- I don’t know if you can call this a blog, but they do post something nearly every day about interesting, off beat places that you can visit!

I hope this stuff is interesting to you! Mom went with her mom to Door County today, so we’re going to post some photos soon!

A couple of weeks ago, my mom and I won a contest on Sullivan’s blog. It arrived a few days ago, and I am really honored!

You guys should see the candy bar! It probably weighs almost as much as I do! And the postcards are really cool as well! I’m hesitant to send out the postcards because they’re so pretty!

Thanks a million, Sullivan! The package really made my day!

October 2nd, 2011

Mom has been kind of busy with regular life things, so we haven’t updated lately. We felt like we ought to take time to update today because one of our online friends, Michael the Monkey, gave me an award!

I first thought that I’m really not a toy tourist! Toy tourists travel around the world and see different things! All I’ve done is travel around my home area! But then I really read Michael’s definition—- ‘a toy who travels around, takes pictures, and shares their adventures.’ It dawned on me that Wisconsin is as much as an adventure for people who live around the world as the Netherlands or Russia is to me!

So I’m honored to accept the award! I’ve put it in my blog column to share with everyone! You’re supposed to pass it on to new people, so I am going to pass it on to some friends that Michael has not awarded it to.

I’m not sure how to put the script that would allow you to embed it into your own blog like Michael did. I guess you will have to go back to his post and get it from there!

I hope you are all having a great day!
