Wahoo! I received my first bloggy award. Thank you, thank you very much.
Actually, this does mean a lot to me. It came from Mommy Drinks Because You Cry. I just recently found her blog and love, LOVE it. She’s not afraid to say what she’s thinking, and every little bit of it is true. You just gotta love that kind of honesty.
The rules of this award are that I have to share 10 honest things about myself, and then pass it on to 10 other bloggers. Here it goes.
- I’m slightly OCD. As in, if I’m eating M&M’s, I have to eat an even number of the same color, or I feel off balance. If that’s not possible,then I must eat the individual color, but chew it an even amount on each side.
- I’m terribly, terribly shy. So much so that I sometimes feel awkward around people that I’ve known for years.
- I hate the drive through. It took me years to actually use one. In fact, Starbucks was the first time. This was after college. After I had been in the working world. I was well into my 20′s by the time I actually tried it. Now, I’ll only use them for Starbucks and the bank. Otherwise they still freak me out.
- I hate talking on the phone. I’ll email whenever it’s possible. Especially when it’s to someone that I don’t know. I also hate returning phone calls (crap, that reminds me…) I think that has something to do with #2.
- I’m an exercise nut. I’m one of those people who gets up before it’s even light outside to exercise. I’ve been like this since college, although I’ve had to cut back some since having the kiddo. It keeps me sane, keeps me fitting in my jeans, and lets me indulge on chocolate.
- I’m my toughest critic. I want so badly to be perfect, that when I mess up or let someone down, I take it really bad. Like it will depress me for days, or weeks. And just when I think I’m over it, it will sneak up and knock me down again.
- I recently gave up coffee, and it was the hardest thing I’ve had to do in a long time. I LOVE coffee. Not in a healthy way either. I NEED it. It wakes me, warms me up, and makes me feel all warm and snugly inside. But we want to have another kiddo sometime, so I gotta do what I gotta do. But look out, when I pop out that second kid, I’m going back to coffee full force. (No, I’m not expecting, but thanks for asking)
- I’ve never been the popular girl. But I have been a band geek. In high school I played flute. I was in solo ensemble, marching band and we played for most of the sporting events. I loved every second of it. All of my friends were band geeks too, so I’m pretty sure that makes us cool. Or something.
- Because I’ve never been the cool girl, I’ve always had a small group of really close friends. And I like it that way. But I don’t spend nearly enough time with them, which actually makes me pretty sad.
- I’m actually jealous that my two younger sisters live so close to each other. They see each other all the time, are big parts of each others lives and have a very close relationship. I’ve never admitted this to either one of them, but I’m pretty sure that they both read my blog, so now they know.
That’s it, my ten things. Whew, that was actually easier than I thought it would be.
Now I’m passing the torch on to some of my fave bloggers, who I would love to know more about.

This is your first one? I just assumed you had tons of them (’cause, you know, I like you so much, I figured everybody else does too)…otherwise you would have totally been on my list!
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Oh, and I hate drive thrus and phone calls too. Hate them.
.-= amber´s last blog ..Oh, Crap. I Have to be Honest? =-.
@amber, Aww, thanks for thinking of me! I loved your honest list too.
I think you did a really good job with your honest scrap. Even if I might not have told that M&M bit…
Kidding. I eat mine in color ORDER- if that doesn’t need a straight jacket, I don’t know what does.
PS- I’m super preggers and am drinking coffee as we type. My doc says it’s okay. And that’s why I continue to see him.
.-= Hillary @ The Other Mama´s last blog ..The Pleated Poppy- A GIVEAWAY! =-.
@Hillary @ The Other Mama, Hmmm, maybe I need to check out your doctor.
What order do the M&M’s need to be eaten?
Oh man, the M&Ms thing, I totally do that too! With almost everything I eat, in fact. YAY for not being the only crazy one!
@Mrs Soup, I’m so glad I’m not the only one! I do it with just about everything too.
I love reading these lists, they are such a geat way to get to know people. I am not a shy person at all, but like you I prefer not to talk on the phone, even through all my teenage years, I never spent more than 5 minutes chatting to a friendy by phone.
Thanks for thinking of me Allison! It means a lot to me.
.-= Christine LaRocque´s last blog ..Money counts and we’re counting =-.
Hi Allison, your list is pretty funny. I can’t imagine that you are a shy person, and any more than I am.
.-= selfsagacity´s last blog ..Ten Reasons Why i Blog =-.
Allison-I once thought I was becoming more and more shy the older I became. Someone once told me, “that’s not shyness, it’s wisdom.”
Cheers to two wise gals!
@klc, I like it!
I couldn’t survive without drive through. I hate telephoning, too, but also hate exercise. I’ve never tasted coffee.
Thanks for the award!
