Why, Thank You! I'm Blushing.

I've been graced with a few blog awards in the last month and have failed, until now, to post them. I can't tell you how appreciative I am of your comments. I've made some amazing blogger-friends and am continuously amazed at the "love" shown across this great big world of the internets. So, keep leaving comments... I love making new friends.

First, thanks to the lovely Cyndi of Southern Daze for giving me the Honest Scrap Award (nearly a month ago). She's a doll and always seems to be in good spirits. How is that possible? :) She's so nice that I wish I weren't so crabby.

Second, thanks to Padgett Hoke who gave me the same award, also nearly a month ago. She has the cutest Etsy shop that you have to check out (I linked to her shop in my birthday post back in August). If anyone were to buy me this, I'd be a happy camper.

Third, I was given the Kreativ Blogger Award from Ams. She's fairly new to my blog, but I've appreciated the love she's been throwing my way.

Okay, I'm supposed to list 7 and 10 honest things about me, so I'm going with 10 and covering all the bases.

1. I get serious road rage. My drive starts out in a normal way, but one slow driver and I'm whipped into a frenzy.

2. I take advantage of my drive home to call my parents. Every time I use that time to call my father, I end up mouthing off at another driver.

3. I'm already growing my hair out. I do this every time I cut my hair. It takes so many frequent salon visits that I break down and let it grow again. I cannot wait until I can have a mini-ponytail. Every day I try to make one, just in case it grew overnight.

4. I am afraid I'm turning into my mother.

5. I am afraid I'm thisclose to becoming a hoarder.

6. I've never flipped anyone off before.

7. I'm good friends with the HR Director at work, who happens to love flipping people off. She knows I've never done it, so she told me I should just make the sound of your finger flying through the air... similar to bshh-pshhh... say it really fast, and you'll get the idea. It actually makes me feel better... especially when I'm driving. Apparently her family (who are all now grown) use the sound when they know an argument has gone too far, and it lets everyone know it's time to back off. I love it. What's that sound? "Oh, it must be static on the phone." Kidding...

8. I've never had coffee before, and my best friend works for Starbucks.

9. I've fallen off the Weight Watcher wagon. When I looked in my trash bin at work, I was almost sick... a mini bag of Doritos, four mini bags of Starburst Gummibursts, and two 1-point Weight Watchers bars. I secretly wanted to move everything to another trash bin just so the cleaning crew wouldn't see. No wonder I've put on a few pounds... well, that and the fact that my gym membership ran out... and I'm honeymoon poor. Just a heads up-- mini doesn't matter if you eat four.

10. My husband calls me "the bear"... as in, "Whoa, don't wake up the bear! She might eat your head off."

Well friends, you now have a glimpse into the "real me", so I hope I don't lose any followers. I'm signing off now. I'll talk to you again when we're back from the honeymoon!
