I've been a bad friend...

I keep getting lovely awards from fabulous bloggy friends, and I am SOOOOO bad at posting them and passing them on. So to begin, I am offering a heartfelt apology to anyone whom I may have offended by not posting about an award you gave me!

It's not because I don't love you and I'm not flattered! 'Cause I really am! I can't believe all the amazing ladies I have met and made friends with through this world of blogging! It's because I'm lazy. That's all. I'm not promising to be better, because I know I'll probably still be just as flaky about doing this, but today I do have 2 awards to blog about.

First my hilarious and adorable fellow Blockhead JennyKate gave me the Honest Scrap award. I'm supposed to list 10 honest things about myself! So, here goes, please don't leave me!

1 - I often feel like I'm not as good of an example as I should be, to my family, or to my friends.

2 - Although I am very involved in Education now, I didn't take school seriously at all when I was young. I spent the majority of my time skipping class, and barely graduated by the skin of my teeth.

3 - I'm a control freak, and very bossy.

4 - I love to cook, but am the messiest cook on the planet, and sometimes my husband tells me I'm grounded from cooking because of the mess I make.

5- My closest friends (IRL and bloggy) are all organized clean freaks, and I couldn't be more unorganized, or a worse house-keeper!

6-Even though I put on a good front, I was so upset about having to sell my Vegas NKOTB tickets that I couldn't listen to my CD afterward. I barely started listening again this week. I still feel left out about missing the show.

7-It really bothers me how much something so silly has really bothered me!

8-I just read over this list and realized that it makes me sound like a real loser.

9-I don't believe in man-made Global Warming. So sorry I didn't send out Earth Day cards to y'all.

10-I think socialized healthcare is a really bad idea.

Wow. Hope I still have some followers left in the morning!

Next up, another kindred spirit, the wonderful, thrifty, SYTYCD-lovin' Amanda gave me the Fancy Pants Award. For "dedicated bloggers who love to blog, and encourage friendships through blogging."

I'm supposed to tell you all why I love Blogging. It's all of you. I didn't have a lot of close girlfriends growing up. I didn't like the catty, competative insincerity that accompanied most girls. Boys were much simpler and easier to be friends with for me. Not that I didn't have girlfriends, but I didn't feel like I needed that association as much. Silly me.

Through my blog I've met and grown to love some amazing ladies! I value the comraderie I have found and truly enjoy the connections I've developed with women who are so similar to, and at the same time very different from me. I cherish the friendships I've made and love taking a peek into your lives, and learning from you and relating to your struggles with you, and I love the encouragement I receive when I'm having a tough time. It's truly remarkable

Wow, I'm getting super mushy. I better stop now. As for passing on the awards...I know I'm supposed to, but aside from being too lazy to choose and link up to a specified amount of bloggers, I really just hate choosing.

I hate trying to single out specific people, when there are so many blogs that I read and enjoy. And that's the truth. And the lazy thing too. So if you know me, if we follow each other, if I comment on your blog, these awards are for you!

Also...just a reminder ...Mod Podge Mania is nearly upon us again! Please come back on the 31st to link up your projects, and get some great inspiration from others!
