What is the Black Cat Blue Sea Award?
This award is for bloggers who strive to write for everybody, and no matter how many viewers they get, make an impact on a reader. This award is an expression of gratitude to the nominee. It should be awarded to anybody that you choose deserves it, and it doesn’t mean that they must have hundreds of followers and likes.
Rules
- anybody nominated can nominate up to eight other bloggers
- the nominee answers three questions posed by the nominator
- the questions you ask while nominating can be any three questions
- if any of the questions asked are offensive or the nominee simply does not want to answer, the nominee does not have to answer them to earn the award
Mischenko questions :
1. If you could turn back time and do something differently, what would it be?
Keep the job that I absolutely loved and very much regret making a “lateral” move within the department that lead to a mistake and me leaving…
2. Name three or four things you most appreciate in your life (family, job, etc.)
My husband, family, health, life
3. Are you a city mouse or a country mouse?
I probably could not settle in the city even though I have thought about what it would be like to live in one. I was born/raised in the country on a farm – so I am a country mouse.
Noriko questions:
- What would you like bloggers to do more of that they aren’t doing right now?
- I don’t think anything – I think blogging is for any and everyone and isn’t under any pressure/demand to follow a specific format. That’s what I enjoy the most about this new hobby!
- Tell us 4 things about yourself, one of which is not true… and see if we can guess.
Which one do you think is not true?
- I love English cottages with English flower gardens and want so badly to have both but have neither.
- My husband, Robin (Hispanic) and I have been together for 12 years, I am fluent in Spanish but never speak it.
- I’ve been on a cruise to the Bahamas and am petrified of the water.
- I have not drank a soft drink in three years.
- Describe a perfect day that balances all the things you love.
Waking up beside my husband with no worries or scheduled plans. My girls and grand kids come over for a short, sweet and clean up after themselves visit. Enjoying a romantic stress free evening with my husband under the stars listening to some great music, dance, eat a wonderful dinner and not having to prepare said dinner, clean up dishes or do quick chores – nothing but jump into comfy clothes and bed to end the perfect day.

Robin’s Questions:
- Tell us 4 things about yourself, one of which is not true and see if we can guess!
- Describe a perfect day that balances all the things you love.
- What is your weakness?
- What is your passion?
I want to guess and say that either the English cottage one or the fluent in Spanish one are the fibs. Cause I know you hate water and I feel like I read about the cruise before.
As for your questions, you can find here half the answers here: https://reactionarytales.com/black-cat-blue-sea-award/?preview=true&frame-nonce=60b422d2a7.
I’m very passionate about reading and learning and loving my life. I’m also very passionate about animal welfare.
My greatest weakness is caring too much sometimes to the point that I end up hurt or I get skeptical about everyone else and shut down.
Congratulations! Cheers to more awards coming your way girlie 😁

It is the Spanish lol. Still don’t understand it or speak it lol! It is Robin’s first language and I really should be fluent! Did you get my notice for your nomination for this award?
