wpid-infinity-dreams-award.jpg

Thank you so much to Chape for nominating me for this awesome award. I was nominated for this award two other times. I will do the posts for these at a later time.

  1. Tell us 11 facts about yourself.
  2. Answer the questions that were set for you to answer.
  3. Nominate 11 bloggers and set questions for them.

Here’s 11 random facts about me

*I’m left handed but write with my right. Why? Because I went to a private school with nuns and they forced me to write with my right. I tried writing with my left hand again but it’s pretty hard.

*Even though I’m left handed, I can throw and catch a ball with both hands.

*I enjoy cooking but I hate cleaning up afterwards. I wish I had more time to do it but I’m usually running around with my 9 year old and I’m tired when I get out of work.

*My favorite beer is Bud Light.

*I love to read. Reading allows you to learn new things everyday.

*When I was a freelance writer, I got to interview several bands and comedians. Some included Transiberian Orchestra, Godsmack, Larry the Cable Guy, Breaking Benjamin, Queensryche, Chicano rappers Lil’ Rob, Brown Boy,DEVO, etc.

*The funnest class I ever took in my life was wine tasting. All we did was eat delicious food and drink wine in the class. Lol.

* I still like talking on the phone, even though I don’t do it as much.

*Me and my mom both have tragic birthdays. My birthday is 9/11 and hers is November 22, the day John F. Kennedy was assassinated.

*I’m a big fan of the History Channel, especially of the show Pawn Stars.

*I’m a picky eater but I still love to eat!

Chape’s questions

What matters most to you?

My health, family, true friends.

How much do you enjoy what you do for a living?

I don’t really enjoy it. I would rather be writing about fun stuff like music and concerts, etc. It’s just a job I have to keep because I haven’t found another one yet. I get to write at my job but not the way I want to.

What would be the hardest thing (physical) for you to give up?

Right now, my struggle is giving up sweets and soda. I’m trying to do it because I want to lose a few pounds.

When is the last time you’ve gone outside of your comfort zone?

Maybe about a month ago. I don’t like it but I know it’s necessary.

What painful situation are you now most grateful for?

An ex fiance breaking up with me.

What are you so afraid of?

Being stuck at a dead end job forever. I’m working on it though ;).

If you could meet one person from any period in history (it may even be fictional), who would it be? Jim Morrison

What’s your favorite quote?

“This world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place. It will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me or nobody is going to hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard you’re hit, it is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done!”

How and where do you like to spend your holiday?

Relaxing in nice, sunny weather. I would say going to Orlando.

What is your favorite thing about blogging?

Getting back into writing and meeting bloggers from all over the world. I’ve also enjoyed interviewing fellow bloggers and others.

What are your goals for your blog in 2016?

I expect my blog to grow in readership as I bring in more interviews and fun posts for everyone! I’m considering leaving my day job in order to work on writing and blogging more.

My questions for my nominees

What is your favorite fruit?

What is your astrological sign?

What are some of your favorite things in life?

What do you write about most in your blog?

Who are you the closest with in your family?

Hello everyone! My name is Lisa Amaya. I'm a 30 some year old mom to one son. My blog is about my life, entertainment, current events, people and events in my hometown, El Paso, Texas, etc. My blog will also feature pieces about Ciudad Juarez, Mexico and surrounding areas in New Mexico. I also hope to include more travel blog posts. Guest bloggers will also contribute from time to time! I've been a writer since I was 6 years old. I graduated from New Mexico State University with a degree in journalism. I've written for various newspapers and magazines. I plan on focusing more of my time on blogging and freelance writing. I took a five-year break from writing but I'm back at it! Thank you for stopping by and welcome!

  25. Lol yes! Well in that class it did anyway. The professor was a chef so the man cooked really well! We had to know which wines tasted good with which foods so food needed to be included! We ate steak, turkey, different cheeses, etc. I know you nominated me for this award too and I haven’t forgotten you! I’ll do your post soon 🙂 Thank you for the award and for reading the post!

  26. Does wine tasting also include eating?

    That is indeed a funny class 😀

    I feel some jobs are funny too, though they stay funny if you hold them only for a while 🙂

    I enjoyed reading your answers, Amaya 🙂

    [ I read another name for you on David’s blog yesterday so I was wondering if I have wrongly been calling you ‘Amaya’ so far 😀 }

    Congratulations. Have a lovely weekend 🙂

    Love and light ❤

    Anand 🙂

  30. Congratulations!!! I looooove it!!!!!! All my support #sayNOtoSodas and #ThankyouEX 🙂 I´ve had a great time reading about you. Thank you! (Side note: the nuns did that for your own good. Be left-handed is a sin, according to the Bible 😀 )
