TAGGED

I've been tagged and awarded on the same day. Go figure. Now I can see all those little mice out there scurrying for that magic X in the corner of the computers. I realize some of you run in fear at the sound of "tag or award" but I am still new enough to be very flattered and pleased by both. The kind words that accompanied the two keep me pumped up for quite a while. To me, these are posts I don't have to come up with in my aging brain. They are a thoughtful gift which is how I receive them and give them.

Today I will answer the "tag" and next week I will post the award kenju sent as it requires one word answers and that is really hard for a wordy type like me. Thank you so much Judy, I'll post yours next week.

This one traveled quite far and came from a really neat blogger buddy from India. She is probably the youngest of my readers and I am always pleased to hear from her.

Lostworld has a really cute and entertaining blog. Her post about learning to drive totally cracked me up. If you want a good chuckle, check it out. Thank you so much Lostworld.

Below are the rules of the tag.

1.I must thank the person who gave me the award and list their blog and link it
2.I must list 10 honest things about myself
3.I must put a copy of Honest Scrap logo on my blog
4.I must select at least 7 or 8 other worthy bloggers and list their links
5.I must notify the bloggers of the award and hopefully they will follow the above three requirements also.

OK, here goes with total honesty.

1. I am an intolerant person. That is to say, I am intolerant of intolerance, ergo, that makes me "intolerant" which is sad for I hate intolerance. Anyone confused yet??

2. I am a boredom eater and it is sadly obvious that I must bore easily. Properly and consistently entertained, I would be a 90 pound weakling.

3. I love the cold. You can always put clothes on to be warmer, the law only allows you to take so much off. Coats and jackets hide a flawed figure quite nicely thank you. I also think seeing your breath is cool and truthfully, cold air just smells cleaner.

4. I can not even come close to singing. Bet I could make prisoners confess with my voice alone. Water boarding is not necessary guys when you have Patti types available.

5. I am a bleeding heart liberal, not quite to the civil libertarian stage though. All extremes frighten me.

6. The "Blues" makes me happy.

7. I am a bit bonkers about the animal kingdom and am a proud tree hugger.

8. I get a kick out of temporary ( 3 days is "temporary" enough) times of "survival mode". Such as when power outages make us think of unique ways to accomplish the daily necessities. No one ever said I wasn't weird.

9. A person who can make me laugh shoots right to the top of my "want to be around" list.

10. Be warned, I don't always follow the rules exactly in tags and awards but so far have avoided the blogger police.

I would like to award the Honest Scrap to the following.

Shine on Jewels has a lovely blog about pottery, animals and photos that I wished posted more often. Hint, hint.

Frost Bottom Farm Don't ya love the title? Barry is a neat young man who will take you on New England running tours and will let you watch the chickens run and dogs play at FBF. I try not to miss his posts.

It's Just So Homer This is my political opposite but a man I admire and who can make me laugh. His comments usually crack me up.

The Cataract Club . This lady can crack me up with her very funny style of writing or occasionally bring me to tears with shared pain.

Coward's Corner With Luckie This is a fine writer who is not locked into any genre. She can make you laugh or inform with ease.

A Slower Pace A relatively new to me but very interesting blogger.

There are many more I could tag , in fact I could tag my entire blog list for they are there because I want to keep them in my reading life . So if you are on my blog list, consider yourselves tagged and awarded.
