Honest Crap

I changed the name from Honest Scrap to Honest Crap...Hope that's okay with you :)

Allegra and Tracy have both been huge blessings to me. I fell in love with their blogs separately and later learned they were cousins. I appreciate their honesty and friendship through this blogging world. I can not wait to meet these lovely ladies one day (hopefully soon)!

Here's what I'm supposed to do:

1.) Say thanks and give a link to the presenter of the award.
2.) Share "10 Honest Things" about myself.
3.) Present this award to 7 others whose blogs
I find brilliant in content and/or design, or those who have encouraged me.
4.) Tell those 7 people they've been awarded
HONEST SCRAP and inform them of these guidelines in receiving

Here goes...

1. I am a very honest person. If you ask me if something looks good on you and I don't think it does, you better believe that I will tell you.

2. I've had plastic surgery...not by choice. I suffered a bad sports accident that resorted to seven hours of reconstructive surgery, four metal plates, and a new orbital floor holding up my eye. LONG story...I will maybe get into it one of these days.

3. I have bits of OCD. Not really sure what you consider obsessive but let's just say I eat my food in even numbers.

4. I am currently loving all things Juicy. Perfume, clothes, accessories, etc.

5. I grew up thinking I was adopted. My family is VERY Irish...I do not look irish. They have the pale skin, freckles, green eyes, red hair. I don't. Growing up my older brother and sister used to tell me I was adopted. I believed them....One time our family was coming back into the US from Mexico. The border patrol asked me if they were my parents...I responded with "As far as I know". This of course led to secondary inspection. My mom to this day is still mad at me for that. I think she should be mad at my brother and sister for telling me I was adopted...It's not my fault I don't look like anyone in the family and believed my siblings. The first time I saw my birth certificate I seriously studied that thing up and down just to make sure.

6. My dad is my hero. There is not one thing about my him that I don't love. He is my safety and sanity.

7. I am not a girly girl. I just recently started wearing dresses. I think I only own two, but it's a start. I gave my childhood best friend a picture of me from a dance in high school. She freaked out because I was in a dress that was pink, and had makeup on.

8. I love ALL sports. It doesn't matter who is playing, what sport it is, I'll be watching.

9. I come from a LARGE family. My dad comes from a family of 8, my mom from a family of 6, and I a family of 4. I could not even tell you how many first cousins I have on my dads side. To me, the more the merrier.

10. I HATE HATE HATE when people keep their Christmas lights up year round. I'm sorry if you are one of these people. If you are, we can no longer be friends.

*I was tagged twice in this and instead of boring you with 20 honest tid bits about me, I thought I would share 10 and then leave you with song lyrics that sum me up quite well.

The Cowboy In Me

I don't know why I act the way I do

Like I ain't got a single thing to lose

Sometimes I'm my own worst enemy

I guess that's just the cowboy in me

I got a life that most would love to have

But sometimes I still wake up fightin' mad

At where this road I'm heading down might lead

I guess that's just the cowboy in me

The urge to run, the restlessness

The heart of stone I sometimes get

The things I've done for foolish pride

The me that's never satisfied

The face that's in the mirror when I don't like what I see

I guess that's just the cowboy in me

We ride and never worry about the fall

I guess that's just the cowboy in us all

*Now the fun part, I'm choosing to tag:
