Honest Scrap Tag

Okay, I will admit that I am becoming addicted to reading other people's blogs. It's amazing! Blog land is huge! On Tuesday, I spent the day at home with Emma and had the chance to sit on the couch, watch movies and explore blog land. I got hooked on blog land by a contact with an old HS friend(Thanks Tina!) who has a family blog and then I started reading more about them in the newspapers and now I have a list of 5-10 that I check out every day.

Is it a waste of time? Probably. Is it interesting? Heck ya! There are a million stories out there and I think the most pertinent thing for me is that, I'm not alone. There are other women, Mom's, working Mom's, stay at home Mom's and wives that are thinking some of the same thoughts and are dealing with the same issues that I am.

So, with that being said... here is a post that I found on a site called an Honest Scrap Tag and here are the rules:
A) First list 10 honest things about yourself - and make it interesting, even if you have to dig deep! B) Pass the award on to 7 bloggers that you feel embody the spirit of the Honest Scrap.

I'm only going to list 5 to save you the pain... I'm really just curious to see what things I can come up with and admit to others. :)


HONEST SCRAP TAG:

1. I leave my clothes on the floor. (if my Mother was reading this, she would be shaking her head right now) I don't know why I do it but for some reason, I do. Around my bedroom and even in the bathroom, you will find little piles of my clothes. Shameful, I know,-I should know better but it's just easier and it saves me time.
2. At times, I can be a little too sarcastic. (Kirby is now nodding his head yes) I think I try to be a funny sarcastic to make myself seem like a funny person. I like to make people laugh and my way of doing that is to be sarcastic. Hmm, could be a late-new year's resolution huh?
3. I'm not a morning person. (again, Kirby is nodding his head so much his neck now hurts) I do not enjoy waking up to an alarm, I prefer to wake up on my own and have my own schedule of when I need to get out of bed. Unfortunately, my life does not allow this. I am, however hoping that when I retire that I will be able to begin my days when I want them to start. But for now, be aware that I'm not going to talk a lot when I get out of bed, I will look somewhat grumpy and appear to not be in a good mood. But, that does not mean that I don't love you.
4. I'm shy. Really I am. Put me in a room with a bunch of people that I don't know and I will be a wall flower the whole night unless I am forced to move. At times my shyness can appear that I am snobbish and I have been told that a time or two after someone got to know me. Starting a conversation with a complete stranger scares the crap out of me.
5. I'm an overachiever. (I just learned this at work a few months ago) I can't say no and offer to help to solve every problem, work on every project and take everything on. Now, it's not necessarily a bad thing...but it can be seen as one if you are my co-worker/friend. So, I am slowly learning to say no when asked.....

Okay, ouch... that was a little painful but honest. (Jeff, keep your comments to yourself)
