Keeping it real

I've been such an ungrateful bitch lately. Some of my bloggy buddies have bestowed some glorious awards upon me and I haven't even thanked them. I've also been tagged for memes by some other bloggy buddies and have yet to participate.

::hangs head in shame::

Yep, procrastination in action. I'm terrible. Lemme just correct this all right now, yes.

I would like to thank fellow Jersey girl and therefore part of the Sisterhood of Awesome-ness, Stella, for giving me these great awards:





**She's not just a member...she's our president. Just so ya know.**

I would also like to thank Kim and her long, manly arms for giving me this:



**Kim, I was only joking and poking fun a little bit...please don't reach your long ass arms thru my computer screen and strangle me. Thanks.**

And I'd like to thank Amy for giving me this:



**It's not as cool as the pink fridge, but I'll take it. (Have you guys seen her pink fridge award?? Go and check it out. You're soooo gonna want it too!)**

Wow. Can you feel the love around here. I can. It's lovely. Heh. Is there anything or anyone that I overlooked? Please don't hesitate to ream my ass out if I forgot about you. Thanks =)

As for the memes...Miss and Karen Meg both tagged me for that meme about your favorite old posts. You know, the one about family, one about friends, blah, blah, blah...Yeah, well I already did that one. You can find it here if you so desire.

Also, Jill tagged me for that book meme. Well, sweetpea, the only book near me right now is the dictionary and my ass is way too lazy to get up and pull a random book down off of my book shelf.

But, since I don't want to leave you all empty handed I've come up with something a bit interesting. The Keeping It Real meme. I will list a handful of things about me. Things that are embarrassing. Things that you may not tell people out right when you first meet them. Things your husband only learns after years and years together...you know, after he's too dependant on you to leave you. Heh. Here goes...

1. I am not photogenic at all. Seriously. I mean, I think I'm cute in person, but my face just doesn't photograph well. My eyes are big and usually photograph "buggy", my nose is a bit round at the tip, but in pictures I look like Rudolph's long lost two-legged relative or something. My cheeks either photograph too round or my face shape in general photographs too oval. It's weird. I've learned how to cheat the camera by holding my face at an angle, but it takes quite a few tries for it to look good. Seriously, those cute pics of me that I posted...the ones I get so many compliments on...yeah, it took me like 50 shots before I could get ONE good one. Really. I'm not kidding. I just don't take good pictures.

2. If I'm laying in bed and I fart, I always lift the covers to see if it's a smelly one. And I'm disappointed if it isn't.

3. I hate washing my hair and will go as long as possible between washings. I shower regularly, but usually only wash my hair once maybe twice a week. I actually like it better when it's dirty and greasy. It's a very wavy, beachy, surfer girl with salt water dreads, 90's grunge type thing. It's actually pretty rad, but not exactly a look you can rock for a front desk reception job, ya know.

4. I also hate shaving.. I wait till I have passed the point of fuzzy and am entering manly territory. Seriously. I'm just that fucking lazy. Hubby has taken to calling me "Chia"...as in Ch-ch-ch Chia Pet. Yeah, it's that bad.

5. I drool in massive quantities when I sleep. I just don't know what the hell is wrong with me.

6. I also snore really loudly. I think I have a deviated septum...whateverthehell that is.

7. I burp loudly, often, and without apology. It's a terrible habit that I'm trying to break. Most of the time, I don't even realize I burped so loud. It just happens. Once, I made an entire diner stop eating and stare at my table. I was having lunch with my hubby and my brother. The diners and the employees all thought the burp came from one of them because it was SO LOUD AND POWERFUL that no one thought it could possibly have come from me.

Ok...I'ma stop right there. That's already too much information. I'm not even gonna tag anyone. I'm just going to dare all of my bloggy buddies to put themselves out there and keep it real by listing the not so nice things about you. It can be 1 thing or 10 things. It doesn't matter. I'm soooo interested to see who tackles this one.
