Honesty

Another bloggy award - only this one is a bit of a double edged sword. :) Sweet Katarina passed this on to me. I suppose it is a compliment, but alas, I have still been putting it off because of the stipulations attached to it. The award is given to those who are particularly honest on their blog. I feel honored to be considered authentic. But... Along with the award one must post 10 honest things about themselves. Now I could try to translate what "honest" means in whatever way I want - like I could honestly say I really like chocolate, but I know that is not quite what the rules mean. So that may be considered deceptive. And then I would have to give the award back. And I'd probably cry. So - these must be things that are not easy to admit. Here I go. Trying to be as candid as possible. 1) I have been know to be a little bit very forgetful. To the point of sending my child off to preschool on the bus with out shoes one day. oh yes. I did.

2) I enjoy plucking my eyebrows.

3) Although I am quite picky about what my kids watch (It's usually just PBS or Christan DVDs) I'm not terribly picky about how much they watch.

4) For shoes that I deem cute enough, I would endure pain for an indefinite amount of time.

5) I get more nervous about talking to some one I don't know well, in a one on one setting, than public speaking to a crowd.

6) I struggle with discipline and consistency in pretty much every area you can name.

7) I am afraid to open up to people and love them completely because: a) I am terrified that after getting to know me they will not like me at all, b) I am afraid they will hurt me, and c) I am afraid I will lose them.

8) I am way too protective of my kids.

9) I get jealous sometimes. Like a junior higher.

10) There are some clothing items I have to shop for in the girls section. And it's not a good thing. They are not items a grown woman would want to shop for in the girls section.

Okay. Doesn't get a whole lot more honest than that friends. Now we really are friends. 'Cause only my friends know that stuff. :)

Now a few of you are going to have to stop laughing, because you are going to do it too. :) I am supposed to tag 7 to 10 people, but I'm going to just do 3 today, because I am feeling particularly kind today and I am in a hurry. :)

These friends do a great job at opening up in a very honest manner.
