Honesty is the best policy....er..Award!

Thank you to Lettuce Head !

Thanks so much to Lettuce Head for giving me this award.  If you haven't please stop by her blog.  She's cool and honest, and thoughful and fun.

I love this award because I put off blogging for so long because I didn't believe that anyone was interested in what I had to say or the straightforwardness with which I dig through the remnants of who I used to be.  

I believe there are some rules attached to this award.  I am supposed to list 10 honest things about me.  So, in no particular order are some random facts: 

1) I love Jimmy Buffett music.  It makes me happy. 

2) While I do appreciate a clean house, I don't care for cleaning.  At all. Still searching for a house cleaning fairy - if you know one point him or her in my direction.  

3) I am 39 years old and still get carded at the liquor store. 

4) I like to think that I am funny but most of the time when I think I'm being witty people just don't get it.   So maybe I'm really not funny, just deluded.  I can live with that.  

5) I really like fantasy and science fiction.  Doesn't matter to me what medium it comes in either.  I don't discriminate, I am happy to read it or watch it.  

6) I love the theater.  I haven't been in a show since High School but I still miss being on stage. 

7) I rarely wear make up or nice clothes now that I work from home because, well, why?  

8) At my age I am surprised to find that I still have a healthy sex (over)drive and my husband keeps up quite nicely.  

9) I adore my children but I don't love or even like all children.  At least with mine I know that I correct behaviors that I find irritating and offensive.  With other people's kids, not so much.  

10) And finally, I drive too fast.  I don't mean to, it's just that the car likes to go, go, go.  

Now, I'm presenting this award to some other worthy bloggers that I am hoping to learn more about.  The recipients are, in no particular order.....

Mrs. Hyde from A Bitch Called Mom

Mynx over at Dribble
StephGas and her blog It's never too late to save a hopeless case
Simple Dude from Simple Dude in a Complex World just because I know what an award hog he is and maybe if I keep giving him awards he'll follow my blog too.
And finally to SSW at The Anonymous Perils of a Single Southern Woman

Enjoy!  I can't wait to see what you all have to say for yourselves as you pass it along.

Oh, and I nearly forgot my ABC's of thankfulness.

G- God (I could have saved this for U too - Universe).  I am thankful because I believe that there is a sentient omnipotent life force who cares about me.

H - Husband & Humor.  I'm immensely thankful for a wonderful husband who not only tolerates the crazy when it shows up but empowers it.  Which leads to my being thankful that we have humor in our lives.  There are few things I like better than laughter.

I - That's a tough one.  Am I more thankful for insight or ice cream?  I think I'm more thankful for ice cream (current fav is Bryers waffle cone overload) because ice cream is sweet and satisfying.  Insight, while useful often shows you things you'd rather not see.

J - Joy. This is not to be confused with happiness because happiness is based often upon our circumstances.  I'm talking about the joy that is a wellspring of life deep inside that keeps your head above water even on the worst days.

Okay, I think I'm caught up through today again.
