honesty policy

Last night Dave and I donned a couple pairs of 3D glasses - which were totally slick and looked just like my favourite pair of Blues Brothers-esque sunglasses, nothing like the flimsy cardboard, red lens blue lens ones of yore - and saw Up. Like everyone else, I thought it was a true delight. I wasn't moved to tears in the first ten minutes like so many people said they were, but then I did also shed a single lonely tear the first time I saw Marley & Me, and not a one the second time. But forget to call when you say you will? Open sesame on the flood gates.

Anyway, despite forcing myself to stay up after the movie so that I wouldn't wake up before 7 this morning, I woke up before 7. But it's ok, because things are shaping up around here already. For one, I have batch two of these in the oven right now:

AND

I've been awarded this:


By lovely Bri of the craft begins! Thanks Bri!


For the fine print of the award, I must:

• give thanks to the person who awarded it to me with a link to their blog

• list 10 honest things about myself

• add the Honest Scrap badge to my blog

• select 7 worthy bloggers to pass the award onto, and link to and notify them

So ten honest things. Here goes.

1 ~ I find it difficult to say I'm sorry. I can say, You're right and I'm wrong, but sorry is a tough one for some reason

2 ~ I throw things away with abandon. I am the opposite of a pack rat; if it's not bolted down, I'll probably chuck it out and then at some point wish I hadn't

3 ~ I am bad with money

4 ~ I find it difficult to make new friends in 'real life.' I think it's because I'm really picky about who I let into my life, and I'm really quite content to be alone most of the time

5 ~ I despise the phone. How much do I despise it? I had a cell phone a few years ago, got rid of it, and haven't looked back since

6 ~ I wish desperately that I could have a pet. The thing is, life is a bit up in the air right now, with possible work opportunities and possible travel plans and possibly living abroad (solid plans, eh?), and bringing an animal temporarily into the picture just wouldn't be fair

7 ~ I don't suffer fools gladly

8 ~ I enjoy the sun too much. My hands are getting a bit creased and my face is a freckle farm, but I still lie for hours in the sun

9 ~ I download music for free, and watch TV shows and movies for free. Apparently, I am personally revoking the wages of the guy who pushes a broom around and stealing food from his children's mouths

10 ~ I am loyal. Like, canine-loyal

And now 7 blogs I'm passing the award onto! I hope you enjoy these bloggers and their work as much as I do.

It was really, REALLY difficult to only choose 7. My Google Reader kept calling out, What about this one? And this one? Oh, you forgot this one! So these blogs are merely a handful of the many wonderful blogs I read on a daily basis. For the full list, check out my blog roll to the right.

Happy Saturday!
