Since I’m on a brutally honest roll here I’m going to tell you about one more award I received. The Honest Scrap Award from Mrs.Call Me Crazy over there are Life’s Crazy Joke. I have seen the honesty thing done before but this wonderful blogger takes it to a Whole.Nother.Level. You must pop over and tell her I say hello!


This award is bestowed upon a fellow blogger whose blog content or design is, in the giver’s opinion, brilliant. This award is about bloggers who post from their heart, who oftentimes put their heart on display as they write from the depths of their soul.
(no pressure lol)

1. Present this award to 7 others whose blogs I find brilliant in content and/or design, or those who have encouraged me.

2. Tell those 7 people they’ve been awarded HONEST SCRAP and inform them of these guidelines in receiving the award.

3. Share “10 Honest Things” about myself.








Let the free therapy begin:


10 Honest Things

1. I had cookies and tea for breakfast.
2. I have not been to the Dentist in almost 2 years. I hate it that much.
3. I had NOTHING to wear to a theater performance on Sunday…so I went and bought and entire new outfit.
4. I am a paranoid freak when it comes to expiration dates. I must throw out anything that goes past its expiration date. Chicken, milk, salad dressing, chips! Doesn’t matter if it still smells and looks fine, if it’s past its “best before” date…I toss it!
5. I think call screen is the best invention ever. I have even call screened some of my kids friends because I just don’t have the energy to entertain those little people.
6. I fear that this H1N1 is just the beginning of many pandemics our children will have to live through.
7. I still love to curl up on the couch with a cup of hot cocoa and watch Bugs Bunny cartoons with my girls.
8.I think 7 honest things is enough because some of these awards tend to drag on!


If you have been reading me for any length of time you probably know I’m not much for following the rules to these awards. Seven blogs! I will pass on this Honest Scrap to these two gals!

Insanity and Bliss -You must read her. She is so honest, has wonderful pictures and just now saw Forest Gump??

Menopausal New Mom -Another must read. Canadian Girl Power:) Mwah

Thanks and Love to all!

    8. Woah…

      Thank thee for the awesomeness that is the Honest Scrap bestowed unto me from you, cause like, the meaning was much deeper than the first time I got this award, for serious. I don’t even know how to express seriousness anymore, but I mean for reals. Sigh. What is wrong with me? I can be so stupid! Well, Stupid is as Stupid does, er something like that. Here is my list just for you:

      1. I eat cookies and cookies for breakfast
      2. I haven’t been to the dentist in about oh, EVER because I hate them THAT MUCH MORE!
      3. Hot Chocolate is a forgotten food group
      4. I can quote, “Duck! Rabbit! Duck!” like no other
      5. I actually lie a lot
      6. And pshyeah! My blog IS awesome!
      uh, did I type that out loud?
      7. Number 5 was a lie.
      8. Man, I am something else.
      9. Oh yeah I am from Alaska, so like, we are related somehow, eh?
      10. My son asked me if I was Canadian because I say “eh?” a lot. Psh. I am Italian. From Alaska. I am saying, “ay!”, he just gets confused because he’s only half. Italian, that is…

      Anyway, thank you, thank you! I am tickled pink to have found your blog and talk turkey and craziness and stuff like that.
