Today I got a very touching award from my sweet friend, Lissa at Humble Pie. Thank you, Lissa :) I am so touched! Your friendship is a safe haven and so encouraging to me!
So here's what I'm supposed to do:
So here's what I'm supposed to do:
1.) Say thanks and give a link to the presenter of the award.
2.) Share "10 Honest Things" about myself.
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 the award.
Ok, here we Go...
10 Honest Things About Me:
1. I love breakfast and could eat it for any meal.
However, while I love bananas and I love pancakes, I do not like banana pancakes.
2. I use to have a massively obsessive crush on Jonathan Taylor Thomas.
I recently found a ruler at my mom's house that had A.Thomas written on it.
Interestingly enough, Thomas isn't even his real last name, he loves Feta cheese, and had a cat named Simba.
(Well, all of those were true back in 1990 anyway according to BOP)
3. I started college as a Business Administration major and ended up as a graduate of Women's Studies.
I got a lot of crap for that, but I was so inspired by my professors and my classes.
I may not be an extreme feminist, but feminism will always be a part of me.
4. My favorite TV shows include: Brothers & Sisters, So You Think You Can Dance, and Veronica Mars.
Other TV shows I like are: Friends, Dirty Sexy Money, Burn Notice.
We don't have cable, we depend on Netflix.
5. If I could have a vacation home (ok, 2 vacation homes) I'd want on on Newport, Rhode Island and the other in Bologna, Italy.
6. I raised sheep in 4-H.
I cannot eat lamb.
Try going to Greece and managing that one!
7. I want to spend 1 year of the midge's life when he's older traveling around the US in an RV home schooling him.
I want him to SEE US history and give him interactive education with experience.
8. I don't drink caffeine.
I gave it up before I became pregnant.
I realized at 2 diet pepsi's a morning before 8am was a gross addiction.
9. If I could change anything about myself, I would get a laugh transplant.
(and get braces on my bottom teeth and be immune to weight gain)
10. I could have a pedicure, a Raspberry Salad, and a date with wine + candle light once a week and always appreciate it with extreme gratitude.
Alrighty, so now I have to give the award to 7 ladies...
I can actually only repeat most the ladies that Lissa already awarded but I just can't help it...
we run in the same circle and I love it!

Congrats on your award! It's been nice to learn a bit more about you!
ReplyDeleteooooh, honest scrap...I will try and think of some good stuff for ya :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the award and being that it's my first visit with you, it's nice to learn a little about you. I too could eat breakfast for any meal and I would also love to travel the States in an Rv!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the visit!
Hugs,

I have never wanted to take a year off and homeschool the kids in an RV - until right now. What a fun idea! Seriously - I may be sold. Maybe we'll have to do it caravan-style??
ReplyDeleteI am laughing my butt off about the Jonathan Taylor Thomas thing! Too funny! I love your list, it's so fun learning more!
ReplyDeleteOn the subject of my boys.... It has worked out for the most part having them 5 yrs apart, BUT the older my oldest son Clay gets, the less he wants to do with our youngest, Sawyer. I sometimes just wish that for the sake of their friendship, they could be closer in age. Sawyer still wants to play and Clay isn't so much into playing anymore.
I told Clay the other day, that it seems like a big age difference now, but when they are 20 and 25, it won't seem like a big deal at all.
I hope I answered your question! Have a great night Allegra!
Loved this little peek into your life! I too love me some breakfast anytime of the day! Thanks for checking out my little blog. So glad I found yours.
ReplyDeletewow... you're brave...Jon. tay. tom. huh?? hahaha.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE so you think you can dance!!! I've seen almost every one!
Allegra, I just love you!! thanks for being so amazing and I am so happy we run in the same circle of friends as well!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I loved your post about your dad....I feel the same way! :)
