So, I’ve been saving this tag for a time that I really needed it, and with stresses and a big wig tour at work at the end of this week it’s been really tough and stressful, so NOW IS THE TIME!!

This Tag was started by the wonderful Kimchisama, who also nominated me for this! Please check out her wonderful anime blog!!

Rules:

1. Mention the person who nominated you

2. List 13 reasons why you keep going/living (This is borrowed from the book but I’m taking it the opposite direction).

3. Nominate 10 or more people to give their reasons why.

4. Use the picture that I created in your post. I’m sorry that I’m a bit bad a making these things… But I tried 🙂

So, on to my reasons!! This is actually a really hard one….

1. My cat, Buddy.

He can be a right Jerkhole… but, he’s with me when it counts and I know that he loves me unconditionally…..okay, the condition is that I feed him. But, don’t tell anyone.

2. Family

I love my family. I probably hang out with my parents and in-laws an unhealthy amount for a grown adult…. BUT I DON’T CARE!!!

3. BOOKS!!

Weird… My post apparently DELETED this one… So, back in it goes!!

I could never leave this plain of existence with over 1000 books on my TBR!

4. Music

No matter how down I am, music is always an outlet for my feelings. There’s always a song out there that makes me feel like someone understands.

 

 

5. Camping/Outdoors

I haven’t had a chance to go camping lately…sadly. As soon as the weather gets acceptable out though, you will rarely find me indoors!

6. My Man

I told him that I didn’t think he’d make the list… but I’m already floundering! Kimchisama…. 13 IS TOO MANY REASONS!! HA HA HA!!

Oops…. wrong man….

I’ll go with what my man suggested and say that I live to make him suffer. Ha ha! I call him my little P.O.W.

7. My Bucket List

How can I move on without doing all of those things that I’ve always wanted to?? Like, jumping out of a plane, or riding all the biggest rollercoasters??

8. Travel

There are so many places that I still need to go, and I LOVE TO TRAVEL!!!

9. Booze!!!

Come on. You knew it had to make the list somewhere!

10. Learning!!

I never want to stop learning. There is so much I don’t know, and there always will be. But, I’m willing to put in the time to leave this world with as much information as possible!!

11. My Bed

I know. Weird one. But, it’s so comfy!! My favourite thing ever is my days off that my cat joins me in the morning and we stay in bed later than we should and I read and he snuggles with me. He’s not a snuggle cat, but that’s the only place he will join me. This doesn’t happen very frequently as I’m rarely off and when I am I usually have something to do and can’t stay in bed. But, when I do…..!!!! Ahhhhh…….

12. Lazy, Sunny Days

There is nothing like sitting out in the sun with a good book and a cold drink and lazing the day away….. Again, this doesn’t happen often, but, WHEN IT DOES!!!

13. ALL OF YOU!!!! 

I love my blog, and the blogging community!!! As you all know, I’m not an interweb person….

But, all of you keep me going! I’m so grateful for the friends that I have met and the blogs that I look forward to! You’re all the highlight of my day!!

Thank you!!!

Now, on to the Nominations!!! I’m going to go with some of my original readers this time! You all have stuck with me through my craziness, my disorganization. and my all of my time trying to figure out this crazy computer contraption!
