Thanks to Clio at Dancing with Gaia for tagging me on this one.What is expected is that I need to -
1) Choose a minimum of 7 blogs that you find brilliant in content or design.
2) Show the 7 winners names and links on your blog, and leave a comment informing them that they were prized with “Honest Scrap.” Well, there’s no prize, but they can keep the nifty icon.
3) List at least 10 honest things about yourself.
1. I don't like ketchup and mustard. Never have. As a kid, I always got plain hamburgers at McDonald's. For some reason, my brothers always hated me for that. Probably because they had to wait longer for their meal while they were cooking my special order.
2. I confiscated my stepson's weed stash a few weeks ago and contemplated saving it for myself, but then flushed it down the toilet. I'm kinda regretting that now!
3. If I didn't pluck my eyebrows, they would be singular. Gotta love those Italian genes!
4. The only Italian I learned from my sweet little old Italian grandmother who religiously said a rosary every night were swear words.
5. I broke my leg first time I went downhill skiing at age 12. I never learned to downhill ski, but I actually tried snowboarding a few years ago. After bruising my tailbone, I decided that wasn't so good for my fertility.
6. I hated physics and philosophy in college.
7. I wanted to be an astronomer growing up. Upon learning that astronomy is basically physics, I bailed.
8. I love reading books that are considered childrens' books or for adolescents. I read the first four Harry Potter books in 3 1/2 weeks. Hey, I had to catch up with what my husband was reading his kids when I first met them!
9. I don't dye my hair. I have very few grey hairs. Doctors either think I do dye my hair because I'm forty-two, or they think I'm younger because I don't.
10. I'm a sucker for a man with grey hair. Move over Brad Pitt, I'm more of a George Clooney kinda gal. It's one of the things that attracted me to my husband.

Well thank you! It's an honor just to be nominated.
Great post title, by the way.
I was the same way with McDonald's hamburgers (except mine were cheeseburgers). Plain. And the wait -- oh, would my family get mad at me.
You have gorgeous hair.
Haha, thanks for the tag... I'm feeling ya' on the grey hair. And I hated ketchup for the longest time. In the past few years, I've come to really like it on french fries. Go figure.
Awww,thanks for the award.
I liked reading yours--you're super lucky on the no gray hairs. I started getting them in my 20s, just like my mom. If she hadn't easily conceived me in her thirties, I would wonder if gray hair prematurely was linked to old eggs prematurely :)
And the ketchup and mustard thing--that's the whole reason TO GO to McDonalds! I mean, the blend is good. Of course, when we go we ask for no meat and throw our own veggie patties on them at home. Kind of weird, I'll admit.
oh my goddess Phoebe!that was an herculean task, to do all the awards at once! :D
Number 2, of your honest list on top, completely cracked me up! I'm still laughing... ;)
Thanks!
LOL about the stash. :)
Fun! - thanks for the tag. I'm with Davs on the McDonald's ketchup and mustard thing...in fact, I hated hot dogs, so as a kid I would just take then bun and fill it with ketchup, mustard, and, when I was feeling a little crazy, some relish. Is that making your stomach turn? :-)
Isn't it funny how the ketchup/mustard thing is the thing we're all talking about...I think we all like talking about food :-).
thank you, sweetie! and i already knew about your plucking needs because of your being related to the king of all "unibrows."
i will hop to my task next week so i can claim my prize!!!
Phoebe,
very sweet! on behalf of me and will, thank you!
Mo
I always come over all 'gosh' and tongue-tied when anybody is so gracious. Verbal fluency minus.
So, I'll say a heartfelt thank you,
xx

Hey Phoebe,
Thank you for popping in and sending good vibes for this FET. Every hopeful thought helps!
We have some things in common outside of IF... though born in LA, parents were raised in Ohio and the trickle effect is def. there. Also have some conflicts w/ fearing motherhood. I just keep chanting to myself this week: I deserve to be a mom, I'll be a great mom. We'll see if it helped at all come Monday.
I'll check on you w/ your upcoming cycle.
P.S. Loved #2 (weed confis.)
Congrats on all the bling, you are a much beloved gal!
You so should've kept the weed;-) I haven't done it in years but am tempted...
Thx for the honor, will post in awhile!
Thank you so much for bestowing on me an award. It would be rude to ask if a cash component goes along with it, so I will just say, seriously, thanks so much. And may I say, right back at ya!
