liebster blog award nominee and subsequent nominees

the week i was in florida i was nominated by my friend sun over at eat.host.run.style for this thingie called a liebster blog award. 

below is an excerpt from sun's blog about what that is:

"Anyhow, for those of you not familiar with the award, it's an online award that is given to bloggers from other bloggers. It's meant to help generate attention for new and upcoming bloggers, generally those with 200 followers or less. Here are the rules for participating:  

You must link back to the person who nominated you You must answer the 10 Liebster questions given to you by the nominee before you. You must pick 10 bloggers to be nominated for the award (with a small following) You must create 10 questions for your nominees You must go to your nominees' blogs and notify them of the award." ~ sun

so now that i'm home from sunny florida (sigh) i've finally got some time to sit on my keister and figure this thing out.

here are sun's questions for me:

1. What is your favorite type of pie?
french silk from baker's square hand's down

2. Tell me about your favorite pair of jeans - the ones you'll wear forever.
my favorite jeans are big star casey or haley cut from a few years ago.  i liked them so much i bought about 15 pairs and will not need to buy jeans again for a very very long time.  i'm short waisted (and also short short) so i have to get my pants in the teen department most of the time otherwise the tailor is my best friend.

3. What is your favorite place to eat in MKE?

6. What type of shoes do you workout/race in?
