WOOHOOIE! and I need your help!

WOOOHOOIE!!!!
while I was gone I was given 2 wonderful blogging awards and I am honored! 

HONEST SCRAP AWARD
S'moly Bonkers!!!!  I received...I am blushing...the Honest Scrap Award from Nolie at Nolie's Place.

Nolie is a SAHM who shares stories about her Little Man, puppy and other life experiences on her blog.  THANK YOU Nolie - I am touched!

I was curious about the award and wanted to learn more. So I did a little research, and while I didn't find out where Honest Scrap Award originated, I did find that it is meant to be awarded to "Bloggers who put their heart on display as they write from the depths of their soul." And to that, I am overwhelmed!

There are rules for this award. Which are that I must post 10 Honest Tidbits about myself and pass the award onto other bloggers.

1. I am considering doing a half marathon in October 2010 - but I hate to run.  EEK! (should I do it?)
2. For a short time after college, I worked night shift on a cleaning crew at my hometown movie theater.
3. For the past 20 years I have struggled with my weight and body-image issues.
4. I love to organize things...but I have a hard time staying organized.
5. I lived in Chicago (in the city) at the ages 23-25 and I loved the experience.
6. In high school I was in Marching Band - for 2 years I held (I played horribly, so most of the time I just moved my fingers and pretended to play) the frumpet (a marching french horn) and the last two year I twirled a flag - which I loved.
7. After college, I didn't know what I was going to do, but I planned to "get out of Ohio and never come back."  While I do not live in my hometown again - I am back and have been living in Ohio for 13 years.
8. I love learning.  I always strive to learn something new.
9. When I was working on a college campus, I was responsible for putting on a Maroon 5 concert.
10. Finally, at the age of 40, I feel comfortable in my own skin.

As far as passing on the award...I need your help!
While I do have a few ideas, the task of deciding which bloggers are deserving of this award is OVERWHELMING!  I am looking for suggestions from you all! 

Please let me know about blogs that you think are honest and deserving of this award! 

I will follow up with another post listing the winners - based on your suggestions!  THANK YOU! 

SUNSHINE AWARD
I can not believe it...When it rains, it pours!!!!  Tylaine from Just Me, was so kind to give me the Sunshine Award...again, blushing!  Tylaine has a wonderful blog where she shares stories fo her life.  She is a SAHM with three beautiful children that are her little pieces of heaven.  Tylaine - THANK YOU!
