A blogger friend sent me this award. How nice was that? Her name is Annette and she's over at " A Wisp of Creativity" . Thanks for thinking of me Annette! I started blogging almost a year ago as a way for friends and family up in Alaska too see what I was up to. I had no ideal that I would meet other people in blog land that I would call friends. But I do. It's a unique way to meet people and get a little insight into other peoples lives. You start to care about them and if you don't see them posting, you really do worry about them and hope that all is well. I have been know to e-mail some blog friends just to make sure that all it well!So the thing behind the Scrap award is to list 10 honest things about yourself. So here goes.
( Don't worry mom, I wont be too honest! )
1. Up in Anchorage we have a wide variety of people. Up there I did not notice it. There were Alaskan Natives, all types of Asian people. Lot's of Hispanic and Latino and also African Americans. Here in Wisconsin I have caught myself looking at different races of people. There are not many African American people here in Wisconsin and I really notice it now. To the point that I do a double take!
2. I always clean my plate. Even if I don't want to. I sometimes have 2nds as I don't want anybody to think that I didn't like what they made. Even if I didn't like it!
3. I worry that I made the wrong choice in moving to Wisconsin. I am happy here in WI but I worry that I made a wrong financial decision. I make about 1/3 of what I made up in AK. ( Or less )
4. I worry that Abby might not make if through this winter. She is really slowing down. She is over 12 years old and that's old for a dobie. ( I'm crying as I type that. It makes me sad )
5. I don't think that politics and religion should mix. By that I mean that I'm fed up with people assuming that if you voted for Obama that you must be Godless and that if you voted for McCain that you must be a fundamentalist Christian. ( F.Y.I. who I voted for did not win )
6. Just because I'm fluffy ( read large ) don't assume that I want a diet soda! Can't stand that crap! It's a pet peeve when a wait staff person ask me if I want a diet soda.
7. I always make my bed in the morning. It's undone when I get home as Abby will re-do it for me when she tries to get under the covers. (If only she had thumbs )
8. I sometimes flash women that I know when I get a new bra. ( You up in Alaska know all about that! ) I just flashed my coworkers the other day. It was just us in the library so nobody but them saw the new bra.
9. I prefer old people to kids.
10. I stutter when I am nervous or excited and try to cover it up.

Don't feel that you have to do this. But it's a fun way to meet new people and tell a little something about yourself.
Krissy, This adventure to Wisconsin has been so good for you. I love reading your blog. Remember, no matter what - you can always come home. But would you REALLY want to leave your new life and return to the frozen north????
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Janice
I just want you to know that you have brought so much life into my life. You are always a joy to be around and I am so grateful to be able to call you friend. I hope the finances stabelize and you will come to call WI home.
ReplyDeleteI think you made a good decision by moving to WI. You would have died of stress related heart attach had you stared here in a job you didn't like. Remember that you were needing a change in your life. I'm sorry you are sad about Abbie - but you've been through that before. They don't live forever and you just have to be happy for the time you did get to have them. Then you go get a new pesty puppy and remember how wonderful the old dog was and do it all over again.
ReplyDeleteI liked your "10 things" about you. Yes, for all the people reading this, she really did flash J and me at work so we could see her new cotton bra.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, and she flashed me outside in the gazbo park to show me she bought a skort. I was really nervous on that flashing moment!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Krissy !
ReplyDeleteyou wouldnt be able to flash people where I work. There are cameras everywhere (I work in a juvenile detention facility). Krissy has flashed me!!

Hah! I stutter when I get nervous too! I hate doing that! Come to think of it, I guess I stutter when I'm also tired.
ReplyDeleteI'm fluffy too, but I like diet Pepsi better than regular Pepsi. Not a Coke drinker.
My dog, Cadie is also over 12 years old and her hearing is going. She barks at every knocking sound.
Thanks for naming your 10 honest things. I hope you enjoyed it. I enjoyed getting to know you!
Awww! Thanks Aunt Krissy! I've never gotten an award before!
ReplyDeleteYour 10 honest things weren't over the top in the least! LOL Now I have to go off and think of 10!
