About two weeks ago Kate at Practical Pablum awarded me with the Honest Scrap. This award for a blogger who you enjoy and respect. So how did I pay her back for this lovely accolade? I ignored it for two weeks. Yay me. I totally deserve…well, nothing! (Actually, I did thank her earlier and I wanted to wait until my new blog was done before I posted it.)
I don’t normally do memes but I like Kate and I’m always surprised when someone as sweet as she is likes me back!
I don’t usually tag people so I’m going to break the rules a smidge. But if you’re not a rule breaker, here’s what you should really do:
*Say thank you and give a link to the presenter of the award.
*Share “10 Honest Things” about myself.
*Present the award to 10 other bloggers whose blogs you find brilliant in content and/or design or to those who have encouraged you.
*Be sure to tell the 10 bloggers chosen that you are giving them the Honest Scrap award and provide the guidelines for them.
And here are the 10 brutally honest things about myself:
- I chew and rip my cuticles. And when I’m stressed I will rip at them until they bleed (and then I’m too embarrassed to let anyone see my hands).
- I think one of the great joys in life is the perfect Diet Coke.
- I won’t leave the house without makeup. At the very least I need some powder and mascara to make me look less dead.
- When something is bothering me I will work out every possible scenario in my head—what will I say, what if they say this, what will I do if this happens. My head is a difficult place to be sometimes.
- I am still painfully shy. I even hate having to call customer service people because I don’t like to talk to strangers.
- I am sort of obsessed with my hair. I gave up on the idea of having long, sexy, shiny hair a long time ago (it just doesn’t grow that long), so instead, I regularly get highlights and hair cuts. And I wash and blowdry it every single day. Unless I’m practically dying and even then I’ll try.
- I like to think I’m organized, but I’m really not.
- As much as I love my Blackberry, I don’t totally trust it and find something comforting and soothing about actually keeping a calendar that I can write things in, flip through and carry with me.
- I am one of the most insecure people I know.
- I wish I were friendly and outgoing like my husband (instead of a surly loner).
PS: Go check her out. Visiting Kate is like hanging out at your neighbor’s house, catching up over some coffee or a glass of wine.
YAY! for your award!! I ♥ Kate. You deserve this. Well, ANY award, really. But this is the one on the table right now.
thanks for all the nice things you said about me! I just had to comment about your last honest statement: I am totally a surly loner married to an outgoing friendly guy too. i knew we were kindred spirits
I am so with you on #4 and #5. I play confidant and outgoing on the internet. I am not that way in reality.
