Honest Scrap- The remix

The ever so witty and brilliant Lucinda of Chateau de Lu was kind enough to honor me with the Honest Scrap Award. I stumbled onto Lucinda's blog back in the day because of a hysterical comment she'd left on SGM. It had my sides splitting with laughter. Now, she can't get rid of me. So here's how this award works...

1) Say thanks and give a link to the presenter of the award.
2) Share "10 Honest Things" about myself. (Don't blame me if you don't like my answers. She asked! Lodge your complaint(s) with Lucinda.)
3) Present this award to 7 others whose blogs I find brilliant in content and/or design, or those who have encouraged me.
4) Tell those 7 people they've been awarded HONEST SCRAP and inform them of these guidelines in receiving.

LET'S DO THIS!
  1. I think a hairy chest (within reason- no bears!) on a man is sexy. I don't like smooth boys it's too feminine for me.
  2. I burp like a dude and always blame it on the nearest cat. "Cookie! Act like a lady, dirty little bitch!" I know, I'm not fooling anyone but it makes me feel better.
  3. I'm a procrastinator.
  4. I have a pretty extensive collection of rare gemstones. Chica rocks the rocks y'all.
  5. I'm terrified that once I give birth I'm going to slowly and unwittingly slip into the role of a mommy blogger!! BARF!! You must stop me if I carry on too much, o.k.? Promise you will. Pinky swear?!
  6. My heart melts watching my husband as he pets and loves on the cats. They ADORE him.
  7. I love to pop pimples. I know it's bad, don't judge.
  8. I'm am not a crazy cat lady- I'm an ailurophile.
  9. I heard my husband tell me he loved me on our 3rd date. We were walking from the bar, across Union Square and he was showing me the stairs he used to do jumps off (skater). I was so nervous that since he'd been drinking and would regret having blurting it out once the alcohol wore off that I pretended I didn't hear him and kept right on talking as though it never happened. I'd already fallen in love with him too.
  10. We're having a baby girl.
You know, I've done this once before so if you want to read another 10 honest things about me you can check out that post here.

Tag- You're it!
  1. Jenny at Spry On The Wall- She's the best!
  2. Anita at Pillow Mint- I want to get in her sheets. Hey now! She sells gorgeous bedding. What did you think I meant?!
  3. Urban Flea- I'm just so glad she's back since she's got one of the few design blogs that always inspires me.
  4. Anthony at Pop Circus- He cracks me up and has one awesome blog.
  5. David Toms at Savior Faire- His blog makes me aspire.
  6. ks at Return to Bohemia- I just love her posts. It's always a joy to read.
  7. Rebecca at A Different View- She friggin' rocks and she gives great green.

Honest Scrap Tag

So, the lovely Arlynn at Fleur De-licious, tagged me in "Honest Scrap!"

By being tagged, I have to list 10 truly honest things about myself, then tag some of you... and no judging :-)

Deep Breath, here goes...



  1. I love pretty shoes but I hate wearing them. I'll spend a kings ransom on the finest shoes but I love to be barefoot. Always. Work, home, anywhere I'm always slipping off my shoes. I only wear them when absolutely necessary. I like the feeling of the grass, sand, wood, tile, carpet or rug on my feet.
  2. I'm a homebody. I'd rather be at home with my handsome man and our brood than out anytime.
  3. I don't have a drivers license. When you live in the city you really never have a need to get one. So, I haven't. I have what's called a Non-Drivers State Identification Card. You get it at the DMV you just don't take any tests. Now I'm thinking about it just because it would be nice to rent a car when we go somewhere. Vacation Driver?
  4. I love junk food. I love to enjoy the finest epicurean delights as well. I'm actually quite the foodie but, I'm just as happy with a hot dog (so long as it's Sabrett or Nathans) as I am with fois gras. For the record, Pizza (real NY style) is a food group.
  5. I hate cuddling in bed. I like the before, I LOVE the during but you can keep the after. Go to your side and let me sleep. No spooning either! Keep your heavy, dead weight arm off me. I'm trying to sleep, thank you. Luckily my husband is the same exact way.
  6. I have a FILTHY MOUTH and I love to curse. My favorites- twat, dirty whore, motherfucker, cocksucker and my all time favorite- Douchebag, which I'm very happy to say has made a big comeback. I'd been using it for years but until recently it wasn't used very often.
  7. I snore- LOUDLY (another reason not to cuddle with me).
  8. I'm a reality TV junkie. No exaggeration. The hours of life I lose on that crap is insane and I'd rather not think about it.
  9. I will yell at your kids. If your kid is acting out in public and you're not doing anything about it I've been know to say in my scary lady voice, "HEY, YOU! CUT.IT.OUT! NOW!" Of course you'll glare at me but it's only because you're embarrassed by your inability to control them in public. I'm not your friend therefor I'm under no obligation to suffer silently while they run over me in a store or throw things at my table as I'm trying to have a meal out. If it makes them cry, I blame you. You could have been a better parent and taken them home when you saw they had had enough and the meltdown was starting to take place. Instead you wanted to get sushi. Nice.
  10. I LOVE kids (didn't expect that one did you?)!
So I'm now handed the task of passing this along to some of my new favorite bloggers. I'm going to hit up those that are new to me so I can get to know them better:
