An award? Pour moi??

Well let me send out a very big "Merci!!" to my life-long friend sj for giving me my very first blog award! How awesome is that! (sj - you'll have to let me know when you and J are free for some wings at JTims cause the first round is on me!)

And of course as with any prize, there are always a few rules to follow...

A) first list 10 honest things about yourself - and make it interesting, even if you have to dig deep!
B) pass the award on to 7 bloggers that you feel embody the spirit of the Honest Scrap.

So here are my 10 honest things:

1.) I am a list-writer. I have lists for everything, which can be good and bad.

2.) I have a tendency to push myself to the point of exhaustion in order to finish all the items on a list of stuff to do. I have no idea why, but my mind plays a game with me that persudes me to finish everything with the reward being that I can kick back and enjoy the next day since I'll have nothing left to do. Well that's a total gimmick cause there's always more stuff to do. So then I end up doubly exhausted and for no good reason.

3.) I'd love to become a writer. The problem is that I read a lot and the more I read the more I doubt my own writing abilities.

4.) B asked me if he could get a baby sister this year and I almost said yes. He even offered to take care of her!

5.) I am so on the fence about having another kid it's crazy. My thoughts about it change by the hour, literally.

6.) I think the cats would kill me if we had another baby in the house. It took them years to accept B.

7.) I ate so much this past holiday season that I am truly amazed I haven't gained 50 pounds already.

8.) I am completely addicted to TiVo. And now I'm completed addicted to 2 new shows (The Tudors and Californication) thanks to 3 free months of Showtime we received for being such loyal TiVo subscribers.

9.) And because of my new show addiction (see #8), I am now completely addicted to NetFlix because I can get every back episode of those shows delivered right to my mailbox. Well in this case right to my post office since our mailbox is still out of commission.

10.) I become addicted to things way too easily! Chocolate is another one...

And here are 7 bloggers that I think are more than worthy for this award:
Brit Gal' in the USA - cause this post was about as honest as it gets!
Emilie au pays de Heidi - ever so honest about her exciting travels
ScopeTech - cause this post says it all about honesty
Southern Belle Lives - very honest in her Australian style!
And Baby Makes Three - even though she hasn't blogged in a while, there's nothing more honest than pregnancy/baby talk!

Ok, I could only come up with 5 blogs that I actively read and either haven't been recognized by sj in her post or haven't won the award already. I guess I need to broaden my blog reading!

Ok sj - then I hope you'll be available soon cause I'm almost done with this little story I've been writing for the past few months. I'll need your assistance for sure!

Srg - Thanks for the award, and I'll try. Not sure when, but I will try. The challenge is that I'm trying to do 100 Honest things for my 100th post in a little over a month, so I'm really trying to hoard the goods, so to speak.

I will ping you back when I post the 10.

K?

Aww thanks my dear, but I just did this meme recently and there's no way I could dredge up another 10 things!!!
