Honestly!

February 3, 2009 by Elaine

Both Kimber and Bridget gave me this little gem of an award – the Honest Scrap award. Thanks ladies! You’re so sweet to think of me and pass this along!

Here is what it comes with:

1). List 10 honest things about yourself – and make it interesting, even if you have to dig deep!

2). Pass the award on to 7 bloggers that you feel embody the spirit of the Honest Scrap.

So here’s my ten. Interesting? Probably not. True? yes…

10. I smell my own hair a lot.

9. I have a fear of window treatments. As in measuring for and purchasing. I don’t get it either.

8. I bite my nails. Sometimes I let them grow out but usually my thumbs are the worst.

7. I would sleep until 10 a.m. everyday if I could. (or later)

6. I have pretty perfect feet. My toes do a nice diagonal line down and my second toe is NOT taller than my big toe on either foot.

5. I didn’t start plucking my eyebrows until about 2 years ago. Now I look back at pictures and think, “Dang girl, those things were outta control!”

4. I broke up with Tim 3 weeks before we got engaged (that’s a WHOLE ‘nother post, isn’t it?)

3. It took me 10 minutes to dust the wooden blind in my den the other day (window treatment was already there when I moved in!) I need a cleaning person…

2. I am coveting new carpet for my house right now.

1. I don’t particularly care to do dishes so most nights there are some left in the sink.

There you have it, stuff you wish you NEVER knew about me! : )

Here are the other bloggers that I bestow this lovely award upon (yes, there are only four and yes, I’m tired and need to go to bed…)

1. Laura @ Testosterone Zone Tales

2. Rachel @ Mommy Learns to Blog

3. Tina @ Golden Goodness

4. Wendy @ Ruens on The Run

P.S. I am guest-posting over here today. Go check it out if you have a minute! : ) (Please, check it out – Kami is a bloggy BFF!)

    Congrats on the award!

    Me too on the window treatments. Always been a mystery to me. Have blinds, but a bear to clean.

    Wish I had your pretty feet!

    This is funny stuff…the eyebrows and window treatments…you’re a hoot!!

    Thanks for tagging me…I’ll let you know when I have the post up! 🙂

    I have the same issues, but I am almost sure my feet are ugly. At the dinner, let’s talk window treatments. Ya know I do hot glue.

  8. Krystyn says

    February 3, 2009 at 3:42 pm

    I’m so not a window treatment person, either (as evidenced by the blinds that I broke, Izzy broke and the cat broke, yet I haven’t taken down)!!

    I am coveting a cleaning person, too!

    And, I still haven’t done that medicine cabinet post, either!

  9. Anna-b-bonkers says

    I am the same when to comes to dishes and sleeping in….oh and the blinds, you are way ahead of me!

  10. Liz says

    February 3, 2009 at 4:09 pm

    Oh you can clean blinds? 🙂 I have dishes in my sink right now that I don’t want to do…ugh…I’m right there with you on that one!

  13. Brittany says

    You smell your hair? I guess it’s better than smelling other parts of your body? 😉 teehee. GREAT list!

    #4 – we need the story!

    #8, me too!#7, me too (probably because I go to bed so late…). #,5 me too! See, we’re like twins. Except, I don’t have perfect feet. Boohoo

    We are so similar. Biting my nails is a habit I conquer for a time and then find myself combating again. I also hate doing dishes and usually have some in the sink.

    When do we get details on the dinner?

  16. Natalie says

    February 4, 2009 at 2:14 am

    note to self: get pedicure before wearing my flip flops around ‘perfect feet Elaine’!

    I think #4 would make a good story for valentines week….either way, i want to hear it!

    lol @ eyebrows comment…before and after pictures side by side might be in order!

    great post over at Kami’s place by the way!

  17. Rach (Mommy Learns to Blog) says

    February 4, 2009 at 4:04 am

    Why thank you for passing on this lovely award to me, and for making me giggle out loud with your honesty! I’m going to have to think long and hard about my 10 honest facts to share!

    Can’t wait to hear the Tim story. I do not have perfect feet. I have a cleaning lady who is far from perfect but good enough. And I smell my hair too! As for eyebrows – I was introduced in college, and every time I look at my senior picture I cringe!

    This was fun! Now I’m off to read your guest post!

  18. Threeboys1mommy says

    February 4, 2009 at 4:55 am

    Ooh a break up story, can’t wait 😉

    Aaron is starting to bite his nails, I need to stop this stat!

  19. Jaimee says

    February 4, 2009 at 4:56 am

    Oh yeah, I HATE the dishes…I can’t imagine why? we only have to do them like 8 billion times a day!!

    I wanna hear that breakup story too!

  20. 3boys247 says

    February 4, 2009 at 2:23 pm

    Thanks Elaine! This looks like fun. I really want new carpet too, at least in our room. Maybe someday.

  21. Trannyhead says

    February 5, 2009 at 2:35 am

    Heh – I hate curtains. I’m not afraid of them, but I hate them.

  22. 3boys247 says

    February 5, 2009 at 5:34 am

    That was fun Elaine. I posted all my scary and honest facts, well 10 of them at least.

    Just an fyi…I am still going to follow through with this tag award, I’m just behind right now…I’m not ignoring it! 😉
