I got an award

Marianne awarded me the Honest Scrap award.  Thanks!



The rules are as follows: Thank the blogger who awarded you, and then list 10 honest things about yourself. Choose 7 other blogs to receive the award, and inform the bloggers that you've chosen them.

1.  My fear of being surrounded by water (above my head or wading) is intense, but I’m glad I over some of my fear enough to enjoy cruising.

2. If it wasn’t for having to work and the Internet, I would be a hermit/recluse. Wanting my own money and my own place, I had to leave the comfort of my mother’s home and seek employment. The Internet allowed me to meet new people virtually which lead to meeting the same people in real life who have become good friends and those virtual friends have become a part of my daily life.

3. The universe is testing me since I try to live my life stress-free, but unfortunately, it’s not happening at this time. Twitching eyes, headaches and most recently blurry visions is causing me some discomfort. I know that once the situation has cleared, good or bad, I know I can handle it.

4.  I’m an introvert and it is hard for me to socialize among a group of unfamiliar faces. I’ll be the one hugging the wall. Even if I’m invited to an event with one familiar faces, I’ll find a spot and stay until it’s time to leave. However, I tend to have a good time people watching and listening to conversations.

5.  I may debate whether to attend an event (I don’t like going alone), but if I really want to see that author or celebrity, I’ll go and sit in the back of the room so that I go unnoticed. Of course the last two times I went to an author’s event, I got a shout-out.

6.  When playing games, either with a group or online, I’m not at all competitive. I’m happy if I win, but I don’t strive to win.

7.  I will not let people take advantage of me. People tend to think just because I’m quiet that I won’t speak up for myself. They only have to betray me to see my wrath. Too many people in my life, especially family and friends have burned me and it hurts.

8.  I’ve been known to get rid of toxic friends in order to save my sanity.

9.  I chose to remain single and childless. Having grown up a single-parent household and also see cousins raised the same way, I saw their daily struggle to put food on the table and clothes on our back all by themselves and I knew if there was no husband present, I would not be a single parent.

10.  I can’t wear anything around my neck because I feel like I’m being suffocated.

I don't have too many people to tag:
