WOW, what a great way to cap off what's been a fabulous day! One of my dearest friends just delivered her first son (beautiful & healthy!), DH & I hosted a great dinner party with some new friends from his work, and then, I log on here to see that Tamara over at the "(un)experienced mom" has passed along my first ever blogging award! Thank you from the bottom of my blog-loving heart!
Here's how the award works:
1. Thank the person who gave you the award and link to their blog.
2. Share 10 honest things about yourself.
3. Present this award to 7 other whose blogs you find brilliant in design or content.
4. Tell those 7 people they have been awarded.
So, if it pleases the Academy...
Honest Fact #1: Wow, it's tough to think of ten honest things when my blog is all about being brutally honest. But, let's just start with the fact that I am a food addict. I love to eat... and eat... and eat. Case in point? Tonight, when I ate two hamburgers, a hot dog, three pieces of pie, and two heaping portions of 3-bean salad during our party. Oh yeah, and some chips and dip!
Honest Fact #2: I am a bit of a "friend whore". I absolutely adore meeting new people. Whether they're through my work, my neighborhood, my hobbies, my mutual friends-- I am a true people person. I think this is part of why I love blogging so much; it's a great way to "meet" people I might never otherwise see in real life!
Honest Fact #3: G is 13 months old and we are still breastfeeding. And I do not plan to stop anytime soon. We don't do it all the time, just before bedtime, and occasionally if she's feeling really lousy. I have a lot of people in my life- including my mom- who think this is just plain weird.
Honest Fact #4: I didn't start text messaging until the past few months. In fact, I didn't even have a phone that allowed me to send or receive texts until July. I'm a bit of a Luddite.
Honest Fact #5: I think I've decided against getting the swine flu vaccine for G. I just can't justify the risks, even though I know they're highly overblown. I'd say, "Better safe than sorry," but honestly, I think I could say that even if I'd decided the other way.
Honest Fact #6: Once in college, I was brought before the campus council for helping to host a party at which extreme amounts of Everclear was served. We all had to put on "beer goggles" to experience how our "victims" must have felt being that intoxicated. We hosted another Everclear party the next weekend. I haven't touched the stuff since.
Honest Fact #7: Even though DH & I chose G's name long before she was conceived, I almost changed it about halfway through my pregnancy to "Samantha", in honor of my dad. DH convinced me to stick with our plan, and I'm so glad I did.
Honest Fact #8: DH thinks we conceived G after a Christmas Party in December 2007-- but the truth is, I'm pretty sure she was actually conceived the night before. He just doesn't remember, and I don't have the heart to correct him!
Honest Fact #9: At least one night a week, I kick DH out of our bed so I can have it all to myself and get some non-snoring-interrupted peace!
Honest Fact #10: I have three big celebrity crushes; Peyton Manning (Indianapolis Colts QB), Lebron James, and "Puck" from "Glee" (anybody knows who plays this hottie actor?). I know, they couldn't be more different, but they all exude sexiness and confidence to me!
OK, that was tough! Now, it's time to pass this award on to some of my favorite bloggers!
1) Christina
2) Melody
3) Mary
4) Tricia
5) Mama M
6) Patrice
7) Adam (Kayleigh's Dad)
Tamara, thanks again!! And goodnight, everybody!

Wow!! Thanks for the award!! I'm gonna do a little post 'bout it tomorrow...after work. Now, I must get my beauty sleep...I need all that I can get!
Wow, we sure have a lot in common! We're still going strong with bfing at 13 months although I am not pumping at work anymore, I'm pretty sure we concieved on Christmas morning, I decided against the swine flu shot after lots and lots of contemplating, and kicking N out of bed used to happen much more than it does, but occasionally he gets booted to the sofa too!
Thank you, thank you! Enjoyed your 7 "Honest Things", so I'm going to give it a try!
I adore Glee! (And the actor's name is Mark Salling :-))
We may not be biologically related, or know each other very well... but we are VERY VERY similar! I love that you are so brutally honest and vulnerable.
