Honest Scrap

The "Honest Scrap Award" comes with a caveat or two. First, you have to tell your readers ten things about you they may not know, but that are true. Second, you have to tag 10 people with the award. Third, let all the people you've given the award to know they've gotten in (comment on their blogs or something). And, finally, make sure you link back to the person who awarded you. (Thanks, Erin!)


1. In high school I collected business cards. I wanted to be in the Guinness Book of World Records. I had them from all over the world, even. But when mom and dad kicked me out of their storage building (oh you know, YEARS after I was married) I threw them away. And threw the dream right out with them.

2. Steve Buscemi scares the living daylights out of me. It all goes back to a vivid dream that involved the Holiday Inn in LG, the Maebee Center, The Village People, and Steve. Oh, it was FRIGHTENING!!!

3. I could do a round off back-handspring back in the day. Hard to believe, but true.

4. I always dreamed of being a ball girl @ Wimbledon. And if I could've worked a match w/ Pete Samprass I would've died a happy girl right then & there.

5. I am slowly becoming obsessed with gardening. I have all the dreams and ambitions of having this glorious flower bed in front of my house and one of these days I will have it. I'm learning new things each year. Dahlias and peonies are in my near future!

6. I've never seen Star Wars. And I never want to.

7. I can't wear earphones. You know that pointy part of ones ear? Right below the temple? Yeah, I CRINGE if it's touched. It doesn't matter if it's me or someone else, I can't handle it being touched. Oh, that and my Achilles' tendon. Keep your hands off!

8. I didn't like bbq until we moved here. And I'm still very picky about it and have to have the sauce on the side so I have control. I need it to be vinegary and spicy. The sweet stuff makes me gag.

9. I can't fall asleep until I see the time on my clock. It's the last thing I do every single night. I kind of panic if I can't see the time. And if I wake up in the middle of he night I need to know what time it is. Even if that means I have to roll over from my comfortable position to see it.

10. I have a slight obsession with looking out my bedroom window. Our window is on the front of the house. The blinds are never open in there because I don't want random passerby-ers peering in. Multiple times a day I peek out my blinds and check on the neighborhood. I always think it will come in handy one day if there's ever a crime. And if I get up in the night to tinkle, I peer out then too. And then I check the time. I'm gonna crack a case one day, I just know it.

So there you have it. Ten very random things about me.

I don't have 10 people to tag, but I shall tag...
