Honest, I swear.

Sweet Jennifer at What's Shakin' gifted the Honest Award to me before Christmas and because I procrastinate (honest thing #1), I'm just posting about it now. Thanks for thinking of me Jennifer!

Here's the award rules:

• Write a post about the award, link back to the person who gave you the award.
• Nominate at least 7 other blogs.
• Add links to those blogs on your blog.
• Leave a message for the nominees on their blogs.
• Name 10 honest random things about yourself.

1) See above.

2) Because of #1, I used to tell my mom (sorry ma) I had "cramps" so I could stay home and start & finish (in one day...what was I thinking?) school projects. These were projects that were assigned at least a month in advance. Yup. Cramps saved me.

3) KK will go through his First Penance at the end of the month as he prepares for his First Communion. I have not been to confession in a long time. God and I have our own regular but private talks.

Wow. This sort of feels like confession.

4) I still watch MTV. I know I'm more than 10 years older than their target audience but there's something about wanting my MTV. Sadly, it's not for the music videos. Reality tv...the Hills, Cribs, Sweet 16.

Do you still like me?

5) I lived in NYC for a summer between my junior and senior year of college. I had an internship with an advertising agency. It looked great on the resume but I remember playing more than working.

Oh...I feel like I'm just digging myself a hole. I have to redeem myself.

6) I have never sent back a meal at a restaurant. No matter how bad. I just can't. That's not really being honest is it? I just can't hurt the chef or waiter's feelings.

7) Growing up Filipino we always had rice with each meal (including breakfast) along with a traditional filipino dish. Well. I can't cook filipino food. I've tried but it just doesn't taste like it did growing up. I can make a pretty decent fried rice though.

7a) I ate mac n' cheese (the box kind) for the first time...in college.

8) I still read the comics in the paper.

9) I don't like to exercise. When I do, I get this really red, intense itchy rash all over my legs. G tells me it's all in my head but I swear, it's real. I know there's a name for it...just can't find it on google. I told G that "that having a big butt is good for my health." He's not buying it. {btw, you had some funny comments about this news.}

10) Like Jennifer mentioned in her Honest 10, I, too, am on the WWW too much. It's hard to tear myself away from all your blogs. Is there something called the "blogger 15"?

I would love to pass the Honest Award to these truthful bloggers, who always say it like it is. Honest!
