Rules for those who are tagged: Respond and rework – answer these questions on your blog, replace one question that you dislike with a question of your own, and add one more question to the list. Then tag some more and learn a little bit about your followers.

I would like to offer this up to anyone who would like to take on the challenge.  I would *heart* to know more about each and every one of you.  If you choose to do it, just let me know in the comments that way I can be sure to check out your answers (you have to understand, my head is like swiss cheese, and I am sometimes a bad blogger and do not get to go to everyones sites every.single.day.)

Love to all
MJ

This is a great list! I agree about the awards, btw, I've pretty much stopped doing them because they can be so time-consuming.

I love that bit about the muffin tops- seriously!!
