Recently, I was surprised and honored to receive the Honest Scrap Award from Karen at The Shock of the Old.
The award is given by other bloggers who consider a blog’s content or design to be brilliant. The awardee must then post ten honest things about themselves and pass the award on to other bloggers who fit the bill – in other words, whose blog is brilliant.
In order to avoid writing some trivial facts like “I’m afraid of spiders” which, while true, isn’t all that interesting, I had to think about it for a little bit.
So, without further ado, my list of honest things:
-I used to love to read fiction, but over the past 3 years my interest has waned significantly. Since these past 3 years I’ve been truly happy with my life, I wonder if I was just trying to escape. I still love to read, but choose different subject matter now (when I have the time).
-When I dig deep into my memories, the earliest thing I can remember is being in my crib and my older brother trying to climb up to see me.
-My dreams have always been rather vivid and often strange. Once when I was 12 I dreamed that I had a child, but when I went to the nursery to see it, there was a litter of puppies instead. I used to think it was prophetic since for a while there it didn’t look like I would ever have children.
-I have a hard time asking anyone for help. It’s not that I don’t want to ask, it’s just that it never occurs to me to do so.
-Sometimes I wonder if I changed one thing that I did in the past, what part of my life today would be different?
-One thing I really envy is the ability to chit chat. I have never been able to just start chatting with someone that I’ve never met before. It takes me a long time to warm up. People that have that talent always amaze me.
-There are way too many things that I find interesting. I could sit and read about history, philosophy, science, etc. for hours.
-It really annoys me when people watch television while they’re eating dinner.
-I could sit and watch my son sleep for hours. It’s even better when he falls asleep in my arms.
-Although it took me a while to get to this point, I can honestly say that I am truly blessed and happy.
And now, my list of winners:
Annika at Dove mi porta il cuore
Judith at Think on it
Martha at Roam to Rome
A Tuscan View – from Umbria

Now I see why you understood about how I need to hold Pata in the middle of the night- you’re a sleeping baby watcher too! It really is the best when they fall asleep in your arms, with their little heads resting on your shoulder, just the right position for kissing their little faces. Pata is sleeping in my arms right now!

Yes, Luigi has had a bit of a chest cold lately and doesn’t sleep well lying down, so sometimes I have to get up in the middle of the night and sleep in the chair with him in my arms. I have to admit that I don’t really mind.
