Honest Scrap

Thanks to CeeCee for giving me the Honest Scrap Award!  It’s a great day to stay out of the heat, humidity, black flies, mosquitoes, horse flies and moose flies, and do this instead.  I tag anyone who hasn’t done this yet and wants to do it now.

The Honest Scrap award only has a couple guidelines. 1.) you have to list 10 things about you that many people don’t know about, but are true. 2.) you have to tag 10 people with the award. 3.) you have to let the people you’ve given the award to, know that they’ve received this award from you. Lastly, make sure you link back to the person who awarded you.

hmmm…. 10 things many people don’t know about me.  I talk a lot so there’s little you don’t know.

1. I dislike summer.  Hot, humid, black flies, mosquitos, horse flies, moose flies, too much rain, not enough rain, weeds grow faster than everything else no matter what the weather might be.  I much prefer growing in “the off seasons” of spring, fall and winter.
2. I have a tattoo.  I’m sure you all know that already, right?
3. I don’t like dramatics and bickering that is hurtful and hateful and I cut people out of my life.  I’m harsh about such things especially when my children are being used as pawns.  Do that and POOF! You’re off my planet.
4. Snakes don’t scare me anymore.  I’m not picking them up like Dani does but I don’t scream and run.
5. Spiders don’t make me scream and run anymore.
6. I’m empty nesting right now and I think after three days of this so far, I might survive.
7. I knew about the first batch of baby ducks.  Tell Steve this and POOF! You’re off my planet.
8. I’m not a great friend for the most part because family gets 99.9% of my time, and I don’t feel badly about that.
9. I hate the telephone.  A lot of you knew that though.
10. I’d tell you the tenth thing but then I’d have to turn you into the village idiot and feed you to the FedEx contract driver.  (see below)

The FedEx contract driver the dogs hate so much delivered a package here this afternoon. He talks about ignorant things, he’s too forward, he’s too pushy and the dogs think they have a pretty good reason to eat him alive.  He’s not bright enough to know he shouldn’t reach down to pet a growling dog.  My dogs have growled about maybe three people in 10 years.  He’s one of them.  Anyway, he read the bumper sticker on the Blazer. “You are what you eat. Go Organic.” He said he liked the bumper sticker but it’s not true because if he was what he eats he’d be something else.

I get Brownie points for not saying…

“OMG! YOU ATE THE VILLAGE IDIOT???    SPIT HIM OUT RIGHT NOW!!!
