Honest, I Swear!
filed in Awards on Jan.13, 2009
Jen over at Our Daily Big Top gifted the Honest Award to me. Thanks Jen!
Here’s the award rules:
- Write a post about the award, link back to the person who gave you the award.
- Nominate at least 7 other blogs.
- Add links to those blogs on your blog.
- Leave a message for the nominees on their blogs.
- Name 10 honest random things about yourself.
Here goes:1.) I cannot STAND being late. I think it stems from always being late everywhere we went when I was a child. As an adult, I try to be right on time.
2.) I like know what I’m doing. For instance: For Christmas gift exchanges, I like to know WHO I have and WHAT they want. And it pains me when I have to WAIT for this info! lol. My shopping is done by the first week of December. So all those that can’t make up their mind until 3 days before Christmas? Chances are you’ll be getting a gift card.
3.) I love food. I like to pick and snack. I’ll even pick at what’s left on my kids plates sometimes lol! (unless they are sick…then I won’t touch it…see #4)
4.) I’m a germaphobe.
5.) I think there should be a rule. If you leave something in the fridge that you want to eat at a later time, there should be a 24 hour rule. If you don’t eat it by then, it’s MINE. (I think I can ‘hear’ food. It’s always letting me know it’s waiting there….for someone…..anyone….to enjoy it!)
6.) I cannot grow a plant. I’ve killed everything from cactus to house plants.
7.) I LOVE yoga, hiking and Tai-Bo. None of which I actually do, because I’m too lazy.
8.) Despite what I’ve been told, I still think that you can get sick if you go out in the freezing cold without a coat. And I can’t wait for the study that will eventually come out to prove that theory. Because, you know….#9
9.) I love being right. There was this one time…when I thought I was wrong, but it turns out I was mistaken.
10.) I love the fact that my family has the best sense of humor. My kids, my husband and I have big belly laughs everyday over some of the stupidest things….and I couldn’t imagine my kids growing up in a house with no laughter.
**I’m not tagging specific people. If you are honest, you’ll join in. ha ha ha! No….if you’d like to join in, please do. (and leave a message so I can visit and see your post!)

We have many things in common. And I think since I am home during the day, anything in the fridge is mine!

I LOVE food, I really truly enjoy it and good leftovers are most definitely mine, I’ll dream about them. I’ve been trying to cut back on the snacking but I do have days where I wander in to the kitchen at random intervals just looking for something to munch on.
I’m with you on #8 too. The truth will come out.

I hate being late too. It used to drive me bats when people showed up 10 minutes late for a meeting…like their time is more important than mine? Thanks for playing.

I’m with you on #5. Leftover pizza taunts me every time I open the fridge. I give my hubby a chance to take it to work for lunch, but then it’s free game, baby!

Laughing is supposed to be a great workout for the body. I try to REALLY laugh as much as possible. It’s good for you!

That’s a great list Sheila. I am with you on number one. But I don’t kill plants. In fact I helped my father with his garden as a young child and have loved gardening ever since. I guess my thumb is greener than yours. I really enjoyed reading your list!
