Honesty - A Good Virtue

...and I am flattered that others notice that in me! As I mentioned on Monday's post, Jen over at Our Daily Big Top awarded me with the Honesty award.
And with it come a few tasks...

  • 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.
Jen is a loyal reader of my blog and even though we have never met in person, I know that she is a supportive, genuine, and honest human being, too!

10 honest random things about myself

1. I am a morning person, but a VERY cranky person if I am tired!

2. Cucumbers are one of my favorite foods...I know, I warned you, honest and random!

3. I hate my nose and profile. I always have, but would never get a nose job since that is the way God made me.

4. I don't like talking on the phone...and sometimes, I even screen my calls if I don't feel like talking right then (don't hate me, those of you that know me personally).

5. I love the smell of burning sugar beets. It reminds me of home...again, wierd and random!

6. I snack and eat junk food while watching "The Biggest Loser"....HELLO, ALLISON! How do I think those people got where they are! I am just being honest here.

7. As a little girl, I used to hide my vitamins behind the toilet instead of taking them.

8. My biggest fear is dying too young.

9. I really want another baby.

10. I have an uncanny knack for burping really loud and long (however, I also have the tact not to do it in front of my in-laws)


I now nominate these 7 blogs in which I see true honesty:
Darcie @ Such the Spot
Julie @ Inmates to Playdates
Terra @ The Emerson Family
Sassy Stephanie @ our piece of quiet
Stephanie @ Adventures in Babywearing
Kat @ Seeking Sanity
Jennifer @ The Fun House

-------------
UPDATE: Just when I thought I was back, that is when I lost my voice and then got pink eye! My voice is cracking through slowly after almost 5 days without one, the pink eye has begun to lessen. Boy, 2009 didn't start out well, but I am hoping to go up from here. Heck...it probably can't get any worse...so up is the only way to go! So, again, I think I am now TRULY back to my regular blogging.

I'm flattered too! Honest? Definitely. Too honest? Quite possibly. :) Me, that is, not you!

Thanks Allison!

Thanks for the props Allison. I love #6 - I am cracking up b/c I've been known to eat a handful of m&ms while watching the BL too. Go for #3 - 3 is the new 2 :) Thanks for keeping it real. Feel better. Have a great weekend!
