I was having a really rough day last week. I hadn’t been on my blog in a few days. I logged in and here was this amazing, heartfelt hug ( of sorts) to me from Christy at A Piece of the Pearson’s. Thank you Christy! You are a sweetheart and you made my day!!! The Honest Scrap award is an award given to bloggers who write honestly from their heart, from the depth of their soul.
I gift this award to:
1.) Angie at Keep Believing ( I wish I could hug you)
2.) Shannon (aka. Mr.Lady) at Whiskey in my Sippy Cup ( My brother turned me onto your blog a couple of weeks after my son passed away. You have no idea how much your blog helped me to laugh at the times when I needed it so desperately!)
3.) Heather at The Spohrs Are Multiplying ( You have touched me and I am forever grateful to you for letting me and so many of us into your life)
4.) Mike at The Newborn Identity
And now the 10 not-so-exciting things about myself:
1.) I cannot and I stress CANNOT make a soft chocolate chip cookie to save my life. Do your kids play hockey? yeah? send them over after I have massacred baked chocolate chip cookies.
2.) I used to run a bartending school in San Francisco and I absolutely LOVED my job!
3.) I have to sleep with a blanket….it could be 110 degrees outside but I have to have a blanket on me when i sleep.
4.) Crazy #2 is taking guitar lessons and I have begged him to teach me what he learns at each lesson so I can play too….two for one kind of deal?
5.) Almost got arrested when I was 18 for lighting off illegal fireworks ( with the help of a few others who shall remain nameless) at a closed down airport in California.
6.)Hate video games…….the last time I played a video game and loved it was River Raid and the video game system?? Atari! And I was like ….9.
7.) Photography is a passion of mine….love my camera. Love to capture every moment possible. Also….I hate to have my own picture taken. Do not look good in pictures!
8.) I am a Raider fan. Love football. Wish my team didn’t suck so bad though!
9.) I am deathly allergic to shellfish…..shrimp. Lobster. Crab. All of the good stuff? Nope. Can’t eat it. Also..spiders.
10.) When the first rain of the year comes? I love to wake my kids up and have all of us go and splash in the mud and the puddles!!!
Congratulations on the award! Telling it like it is, finally getting the recognition it deserves. I’m so glad you have a nice honest outlet. I love you.
P.S. Watching the boys playing in the mud & rain is one of my favorite memories on the Camellia. XOXO
I loved reading your 10 things….been waiting for an update from you and that was the best! I have a secret: try using a Crisco stick instead of margarine or real butter in your c.c. cookies.
Nice to hear from you….take care.
hugs
Christy
Yay! Welcome back and congrats on the award. You are such a great mom for waking your kids up to go play in the puddles. There’s nothing better than a good puddle jumping session.
