My friend, Dori nominated me for the Liebster Award. The general idea is that bloggers nominate their favourite blogs for this award. Nominees need to be "small" blogs, with no more than 200 followers. The rules are simple: you need to list 11 facts about yourself, answer the 11 questions asked by the blogger who nominated you, write your own 11 questions and then nominate 11 bloggers to spread the love.
My first impression for this was, "what a great idea"! But then I read the rules and my second thought was.. Dori I will kill you! 11?
So let's get started.

11 Facts About Me
1. Hmm.. facts about me? Ok! I am really an orderly person. So orderly that my friends call me “Monica” from the TV serial “Friends”! I do not want my home to be messy and most of all I hate when my hubby changes the place of items in the house. Imagine that when I visit my mother in Crete I am furious when I realize that she changed the place of my books or my dolls. Wow, I am a maniac!
2. I love to eat and I do not mean to eat all the time! But I do enjoy having a glass of wine and food with my friends, laughing and having fun.
3. For my 3rd fact I copy Dori’s thoughts: I also think a lot, and my thoughts tend to never come alone but bring their friends with them to party in my head. It usually quickly escalates into drunken revelry... I do think even when I am sleepy, that’s why almost every morning I wake up and I am still tired!!!
4. I like travelling around! I did it very often a couple of years ago, but now that I am a mother is not that easy as it was! So far I have visited a couple of countries in Europe but mostly I like discovering Greece first. I love my country, because you can easily have vacations in an island or climbing the mountains. Vacations for every mood.
5. I do not have many friends. I have a few that are lifetime friends! I love them all and it is amazing that are still near me and love me even thought I had fights with them in the past. But isn't it great to have friends that really know you?
6. Totally agree with Dori on that: I also like to listen, and sometimes I can be unusually quiet. I am also a good listener. But when I give advice… well I tell the truth and that hurts sometimes :/
7. I am a mother of a wonderful 2year old girl and this is the most beautiful achievement in my life! It is really amazing how your life can change with motherhood. But it is also incredible how my mood can change when she hugs me and kisses me. Just amazing!
8. I have a bear near my bed, a great gift from my best friend when I was about 15years old! Ok.. weird, but since then I like having this bear near my bed! I am a lady with the heart of a young girl!
9. I used to keep a diary. I was writing down every though, feeling, dream, wish, anything common and unusual at the same time. I am romantic person, what can I say? But now, after all this years it is really great that I can still remember how I used to feel!
10. I speak too loud and too fast! Hahaha, I am a lady from Crete, what can I say? We all speak quite fast and sometimes even my hubby cannot understand me!
11. I easily get overexcited by a thought or a wish. The “bad” thing is that I want to share it with everyone immediately, even if they are not interested at all or even if they are sleeping!

1. How do you get on with your neighbours (if you have any)?
