I've been given a few blog awards in my day. I usually don't say anything about it because I don't feel like messing with it to be honest with you. But I have recently been given the Kreativ Blogger award (thanks danielle!). I wanted to show it to all of you because it's so pur-tee but for some reason, I can't get the picture to show up on my blog. Actually, when I save it to my computer, I can't find it.

And then there's the Honest Scrap. I got tagged (or awarded?) for this by a few of my peeps so I'm going to do it.

The rules for Honest Scrap are:
1) Choose a minimum of 7 blogs that you find brilliant in content or design.
2) Show the 7 winners names and links on your blog, and leave a comment informing them that they were prized with “Honest Scrap.”
3) List at least 10 honest things about yourself

1. Cheri: Because she's not just my mom's friend anymore...she's mine too.
2. Gena: She's a gun totin', violin playin', republican mama. What's not to love?
3. Angela: I love my kids almost as much as she loves her dogs.
4. Ginny with G: Even though she's a gator fan. Whatever.
5. Ok Chick: I like her even though she enjoys exercising.

Yeah, I know that's only five. Whatev. I don't care. I'm a total underacheiver.
Before you read my ten honest things, you have to swear to still be my friend afterwards. K? Promise?!

1. Today, the kids and I went shopping and then enjoyed a nice lunch at Falcone's (despite that a worker was very rude to me there) and went to play at the park after that. It really was perfect. When it was time to leave, I only had to threaten Cason with a spanking once. Then we got in the car and Cason wanted a drink of his (diet, caffiene free) coke. I told him to wait until I got in the car and then I would get it for him. Instead, he leaned up into the front seat to get it himself and knocked the FULL coke over in my car. It left me wondering if there can ever be any "perfect" day with a kid his age or if there is always going to be some incredibly angering event that takes place.

2. I can't relax at night until the dishes are done. Can't do it. Colin doesn't get it. Tell me someone else out there understands.

3. I hate songs that try to be "sappy" and create fake emotion. Cases in point: Butterfly Kisses, Holes in the Floor of Heaven and pretty much every Carrie Underwood song. Don't get me wrong, I like CU but she really hasn't sung any song that I particularly like.

4. People often wonder how Colin and I ever got together. I don't know, but it works for us. I think it's that we both really enjoy watching TV.

5. My son sleeps with his eyes open. It kind of freaks me out a little.

6. Would someone please explain Robert Pattinson to me?

7. Mid January, I gave up my beloved Dr. Pepper and my even more beloved sweet tea. I pretty much want to kill myself, but really, the weight FELL OFF when I did. Now I'm kind of at a stand still with weight loss but I'm proud that I've stuck with it for this long.

8. My brother and I both suffer from terrible heart burn issues. Mine never really went away after I had Kendall. I think I may actually have GERD or something (something else about me: I enjoy self-diagnosing through the internet). Weird thing is my parents don't have problems with it at all.

9. I have a very low tolerance for annoying things. Which leads me to lose my temper quite often. I'm working on it.

10. Ok, this is a big one. I don't really like Ikea. Don't get me wrong they have LOTS of cute, REALLY cute things there. Maybe it's because I grew up very close to one. I don't know. I just am kind of -meh- about the whole Ikea thing and I don't really get the hysteria.

Please don't judge me.

Wa-hoo! I feel strangely elated at this blog award. Even though I practically forced it upon you with my comment yesterday. ;) I'll get on it day after tomorrow.....crazy weekend. Thanks!

After my runway walk with the bouquet of roses last night, I decided to go party with the other blog award participants - I'm sure our fashions and who we "hob-nobbed" with will be featured in People next issue!

Thanks, Em. I'm honored. You know what they say, "Mom's Friends. They're not just for breakfast anymore..."

Once you've been through the "Labor Union" (aka "excruciating pain bringing forth the next gen"), the playing field is DEFINITELY leveled. Welcome to the club of "Face it girls, I'm older, and I can afford more insurance."

OK Chick said...

WOW! Thanks. I always enjoy reading your blog.

SO your son sleeps with his eyes open. Hmm. My friend's son does the same thing.
Props on not drinking DP. I'm proud you've stuck with it as well.

Ginny said...

Thanks Emily! I am feel so very honored. I feel the same way about dishes...you are not alone!

This has been very enlightening! I always learn so much about you during posts like these! I'm also impressed about the DP! That is definitely my hang-up! I tried cutting back to once a week, but Sonic Happy Hour is just too tempting...
