Thank you so much to Worldly Winds for giving us this most unusual Mrs. Sparkly’s Ten Commandments Award.
Worldly Winds is a lovely site full of poetry by Alexandra. Alex describes herself as a “Buddhist, Mother, Wife, Writer, Poet, Introvert, Eccentric,” and you will see that her poetry absolutely reflects all those parts of her. Definitely check out her poetry. The zoo and I enjoy the deep pauses.
With the award there are “Ten Commanded” questions that I must answer, so here I go:
- Describe yourself in seven words.
Mother, Partner, Sister, Animal Lover, Friend, Blogger
2. What keeps you up at night?
It’s not the ‘keeps me up” but the “wakes me up” that I suffer from. Nothing and everything. I have not slept more than 4 hours at a time since….. who can remember? (Memory, of course, is the first thing to go when you are sleep deprived… rofl)
3. Whom would like you to be?
Well, I like who I am, but if I had to chose, maybe Angelina Jolie. She does good work both humanitarian and on film, is absolutely gorgeous (even without makeup), has what looks like a great relationship with her partner in life, and a bunch of fun kids.
4. What are you wearing now?
Blue jeans and a pink and purple t-shirt.
5. What scares you?
People being mad at me. The dogs running in front of a car. Losing someone I love.
6. What are the best and worst things about blogging?
Best – pushing myself daily to find interesting and fun things to talk about focused only on my zoo and all the incredible other bloggers I have met in blogland all around the world.
Worst – not having more time to read blogs and write comments.
7. What was the last website you looked at?
http://www.lonelyplanet.com/turkey (I leave to Istanbul in a week)
8. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
To be more even tempered and not wear my emotions on my sleeve.
9. Slankets, yes or no?
Nooooo !!
10. Tell us something about the person who nominated you.
I did in the opening remarks, so go check out Worldly Winds and read some of her gooooooood stuff.

And to top off an already great day, the adorable guinea piggies at Hutchagoodlife bestowed upon us a Versatile Blogger Award.
