Honest Scrap Award

Honestly, I got an award. A couple of different people gave Straight From Hel the Honest Scrap Award. Thank you Morgan Mandel, Joyce Anthony and Shon Bacon. The award is for “scrappy honesty.” To accept it, I have to:
1. List 10 honest things about him/herself (make it interesting, even if you have to dig deep!)
2. Pass the award on to 7 bloggers (I hope I don’t pass it to someone who already has it! If I do, I apologize).

I really appreciate this award -- and it’s so cute! Take a look:

Okay, ten honest things about me:

1. I don’t like the taste of cilantro. For some reason, it tastes like tin foil to me.

2. I have two kids. As a small child, one of them said to me, “Mom, don’t sing anymore.”

3. I have big feet. Seriously. Big.

4. I can be slightly anal about some things. For instance, yesterday, about an hour after sending in the manuscript to the editor, I was wishing I had it back to add one more thing.

5. I have a hard time saying “no.”

6. My favorite movie is “Jumping Jack Flash” with Whoopi Goldberg.

7. My first job was working at a Dairy Treat.

8. A high school test said I should be a translator. Ha! I proved them wrong. (I would have said that in French or Spanish, but I don’t remember how.)

9. As a kid I used to sleep walk.

10. My older sister and I used to wake up early Christmas morning and sneak into the living room. We’d keep the lights off so as not to wake our mother. Santa usually left fruit and nuts and sometimes candy, but one year I couldn’t get the sack open. Turned out to be my mother’s feet in socks. She was sleeping on the couch to catch us. Which she did by scaring the bejeebies out of us by sitting straight up in the dark.

Now, who to tag? I’ve been so out of it, submerged in the book that I don’t know who might have already received the Honest Scrap Award! But the blogs I choose are:
