They Like Me, They Really Like Me

I’m so excited, I received my first blog award this week from Venessa (@parrish09) at A Military Wife’s Mayhem. Okay, maybe it’s not a blog award but I still feel all mushy inside.

My first award

So as recipient of this great honesty award, I now need to tell you 10 truths about me:

1. I own 2 ukulele’s and a piano and don’t play either (though I’m trying to learn)
2. I learned the military alphabet code and how to play the bosun pipe in the Navy League (I think I still have my pipe buried in a box somewhere)
3. I’ve never broken a bone in my body (knock on wood)
4. I can eat one cookie or sliver of cake and be content, but hand me a bag of chips and it will be gone before you sit down beside me
5. I’ve been to an x-files convention
6. Growing up I never wanted to get married or have kids (I actually tried to avoid it) and now look at me
7. I love to write and try to everyday, though sometimes it’s just a grocery list
8. I don’t think I’ve lived in one house for more then 5 years my whole life
9. I hate water chestnuts and tomatoes (I can’t even fain interest for my kids sake)
10. I have a file with all the rejection letters I’ve received from book publishers and magazine editors and I’m working toward adding an acceptance letter someday

And now I forward this award on to the following bloggers (for them to reveal their little truths to us too):

• Caroline (@parentclub) from The Parent Club
• April (@artdreamlife) from Diary of a WAHM
• Jennifer (@realposhmom) from Magnanimity of Motherhood
• Shannon (@acraftymom) from A Crafty Mom
• Carissa (@carissarogers)from Good N Crazy

Now I’m off to toast myself and find a mantel for my new award.
