Blog Award

My bloggy friend Amy at Keeping up with the Schultz Family gave me an award. Thank you, Amy!! You are a great bloggy friend and I really enjoy reading your blog! Amy also has a great giveaway going. Visit her blog to enter.

Now, I'd like to pass this on to my readers. So, if you stop by today, please grab the award. I'd also like to thank you for reading and leaving comments. I really enjoy getting to know my fellow bloggers!

Blogger Award

My friend Kara at Eskimo Kisses and Air Hugs gave me this award.
Thanks, Kara!

The rules of the Honest Scrap Award are to reveal 8 honest things about yourself.

Here are my 8:

1. I'm a pessimist. Always have been. The glass is always half empty to me!

2. I hate to grade papers. I know, I'm a homeschooler with only 2 students, but still, I dread it everyday!

3. I never put the cap back on pens.

4. I love to plan and organize things...parties, bookclubs, activities, you name it.

5. I like everything to be symmetrical. My husband makes fun of me, but everything has to be balanced and symmetric in our house!

6. I love turtles. I've had several as pets and I will stop if I see one on the road and move it to the side so it doesn't get hit. My dream vacation is a trip to the Galapagos Islands.

7. Even though I live in the city and have for many years, I grew up in the country. I was in 4-H and FFA, I raised chickens, judged dairy products, seen calves born and I have even seen a hog castrated! That's something most people don't really know about me since I don't really do those things anymore! For the record...I like the city life better--It's much more convenient.

8. I read magazines from cover to cover. I don't skip around. My husband thinks this is very weird...I think it is efficient!

Now, I always have a hard time deciding who to pass a blogger award to, so as a thanks to the people who read my blog, if you are visiting my blog today I am offering it to you! :-) All you have to do is post 8 honest things about yourself on your blog. Happy Monday!
