Honesty is the always best policy

Muchas gracias to my new bloggie friend, Brittany over at Sweet, Sassy, and oh so Classy for sending me the Honest Scrap Award! I've seen others posting 10 honest things about themselves and often wondered what I would say about myself if I was tagged. Well, it looks like I better figure it out, huh?

As I posted in my Personality Traits, I'm a very honest person so this shouldn't be *too* hard for me...right? Here goes nothing...

1. I was a figure skater growing up, but I quit when I went away to college (HUGE regret). I miss it a lot, but I'm scared it's been too long to start back up again.

2. I am mostly deaf in my left ear. I wore a hearing aide from age 3 until I was in 6th grade, at which point, my audiologist told me I didn't have to wear it if I kept my grades up. I graduated high school with a 3.98 GPA. :)

3. I am such a goodie-goodie. I have never smoked a cigarette nor tried any drugs. I've also never been drunk.

4. During the winter, I pick at my lower lip constantly. It is always raw and red. It's a terrible habit, but I can't seem to stop doing it.

5. I LOVE to read...and I always have. Once, when I was little, I read the Bible in a hotel room because my dad hadn't brought my books up to the room yet.

6. I potty-trained myself at 2 during a trip from Michigan to New Hampshire. Apparently, I decided I didn't like wearing diapers anymore. This may or may not have been caused by the stubbornness mentioned in the Personality Traits post. Haha!

7. I am scared spitless of needles! I kicked the nurse once when she tried to draw blood...I was 25. This has *barely* gotten better as I've gotten older. I don't kick nurses anymore, but I do cry.

8. I am obsessive about my handwriting. If something looks messy or a letter looks funny, I will start over...even if I'm almost done writing.

9. I. love. roller coasters. I would live at Cedar Point if they'd let me and ride the coasters over and over.

10. Before meeting Mr Jones, I truly thought I would never find my Prince Charming. I was so afraid of having to spend the rest of my life alone.

My first Tag - Personality Traits Meme Award

My favorite little Honey Dew over at Life After I "Dew" tagged me for the Premium Meme award. This award requires that I list 7 traits about myself and then pass the award to 7 other bloggers who deserve recognition for the personality they share through their blog.

So, all about me...in 7 personality traits. :)

1. Honest. I am brutally honest - definitely not one to beat around the bush. If I'm angry, you will know it. If I am upset, you will know it. If you ask for my opinion, you will get it. My mom has always told me I didn't come with a Mute button or a Censor button. Oops!

2. Affectionate. I love being loved and I love loving on others. I am so lucky that my kitties are affectionate and like being cuddled - though they wouldn't have much choice either way (haha!). Mr Jones is affectionate as well - he is always giving me a hug or a kiss in passing. If I put my head on his shoulder, he automatically kisses it. Love it.

3. Fun loving/Happy. I am rarely serious. Most of the time, I have a big smile on my face. If I try to be serious, I usually start laughing. Life is too short to live unhappy.

4. Easily distracted. As a little girl, I would often wander off if something caught my eye. I'm sure it gave my mom several moments of panic (sorry, Mom!). As an adult, I am still easily distracted. If I see something out of the corner of my eye, I will look. If I am in a store and see something I want to look at, I will wander off. I wonder if I'll ever outgrow it. Probably not...

5. Trusting. I am probably too trusting. I am just like Miss Honey Dew in that I see the good in people and give my trust easily. It has definitely come back to bite me in the butt though. I have been hurt so many times by people I thought were my friends - turns out, they had no qualms about turning on me.

6. Caring. I've been told before that I'm too nice. Is there really such a thing? Probably, but I choose not to think so. I love giving gifts to my friends - usually just because or if they are having a bad day/week. It makes my heart smile knowing that I could make their day just a little brighter.

7. Stubborn. Ah, I am definitely my father's daughter. I can be very stubborn as my mom can attest to. As a 3-year-old, I sat on my swing for hours just so I wouldn't have to come inside and put in my hearing aide. The stubbornness didn't change as I got older. Luckily, Mr Jones is easy going. Haha!

And now it's time for me to pass on the award...
