Thank you Krys from
http://twoveganboys.wordpress.com/ for nominating me for an Honest Scrap award! I have never had trouble being honest.. sometimes I'm a bit too honest for some!! Here's the rules:
1) Thank the lovely person who has nominated you and link back to them.
2) Tell your readers 10 honest things about yourself. (Hide the childrens eyes.)
3) Link to 10 other blogs you feel embody the spirit of Honest Scrap and whose blog you find brilliant in design and/or concept.
Here goes nothing! :)
1. I used to hate to read but now I love it to death though I never read one book at a time.. It's not that I do this purposely, it's just that I just want to read so many things- and I am impatient.. so I just read them all at once!
2. I HATE when food touches on one plate.. it literally makes me feel ill and for the longest time I had to eat in stages... one thing at a time- all usually washing the bowl or plate in between. I've gotten much better with this- as the ideas for toppings for salad increase... and usually I don't have to eat in stages- though it seems to be the way I prefer things.. I like to think of it as keeping the palette clean to be able to enjoy each part of the meal fully :) I also almost always eat out of bowls.. and have a "special" fork that I've had since I was a kid which has stars on it- I stole it from my parents house when I moved out!
3. I can't stand odd numbers- but for some reason the number 3 is my favorite.. Figure that one out...
4. I'm a procrastinator.. big time. I would always leave things to the very last second... making school interesting- I would try to get things done early, but I could never get any ideas.. it was like my brain needed the pressure to be successful.. I could write 6-10 page papers in a couple hours before they were due.. and would always get an A.. so I just went with what seemed to work!
5. I almost got a black belt in karate.. making it to a brown belt before I quit.. For some reason I had a natural talent for kicking ass- I skipped a belt.. was too advanced for the kids class when i was just 10 years old- having to be the only girl in the adult class, which is why I quit..
6. As a swimmer I was always a sprinter and even though I didn't really learn how to swim "correctly" until I was 11- I had a natural knack for speed; My personal best for swimming the 50 meter freestyle was 26 seconds flat; 100 meter freestyle was 1:01 (a minute and one second)
7. James and I got married on our 4 year anniversary, on a boat that was docked out in the water.. We kept things simple- went barefoot, no one dressed up, made most of the food ourselves, went tubing, set off a TON of fireworks illegally :) and still to this day people still say it was the best wedding they ever went to! Including the rings it only cost about $2000.. For our honeymoon we went camping in the White Mountain National Forest, in NH.. The same place James asked me to marry him :)
8. I'm cold all the time.. I literally always have at least 3 shirts on...( ok maybe not in the dead of the summer) I get so cold that my hands and feet lose all their color turning white/yellow and feeling.. my lips turn blue- and sometimes I have to take a hot shower just to warm up!
9. I LOVE being barefoot.. I HATE shoes..
10. Even though I'm a complete nut, I've always been completely responsible and never have acted my age.. which is why I get along better with people that are older than me... I don't get the people my own age!!!
Man that was much harder than I thought it would be! I can't nominate just 10 people... I wouldn't know where to start!! There are so many bloggie friends I love to read... so why do all take the award?!?!?! I wanna hear more about you all :)
