My Big Ego... Honest Scrap Award

Okay so the rules were for me to...

(1) Brag about it..
Wait! Hold up! My background music is playing...
"Usually I'm humble, right now I don't choose..." I've been awarded with this high and mighty award because... I am all that. Yep that's it and you know it! Ok really, I am honored, to receive The Honest Scrap Award. Thank you Luv. But still...

"I got a big ego, such a huge ego, such a huge ego
I love my big ego, it's too much
I walk like this 'cause I can back it up"

(2) Choose seven blogs I find brilliant and link to them, and..
Since my girls, True Urban Queen & Lovebabz, have been tagged, I shall tag Insatiable One & Kay C The QuietStorm. Yes I know that's only 2 blogs but it's my choice. So there!

(3) List 10 honest things about myself
Okay now... Brace yourself. I'm about to go deep so hol' on! LOL

My 10 Honest Things

1. You can call me Cougar. I adore the young male population. Not too young! I don't rob cradles! But there is something stimulating about a young face, a broad back and... stamina. Whew!

2. I got a potty mouth. However, I do not curse at church or work... well I don't curse in front of my boss... all of the time.

3. I made a promise to this man... that no matter what, no matter the distance, the time, the space, or circumstance... I would be available for intimacy with him. Now, why in the hell would I make a stupid @$$ promise like that?!?!

4. If you call my phone and have a gut feeling that I'm available yet I'm pressing the ignore button or if you call my home and feel that I'm looking at the caller ID, you're probably correct. I'm a recluse sometime. It's not personal.

5. For the 1st time in my life I am going to be a maid of honor. My best friend is getting married and I bullied and threatened her before she chose me to be her maid of honor or as the yardis call it, I'm the Chief. To think... she was considering some-body-else!

6. I have never been pregnant. It just recently amazed the hell out of my OB-GYN. Thanks Dr. Frey, you made me feel super!

7. I snore. Just yesterday I woke myself up with my own melodic hum. It was hilarious!

8. I am paranoid. A lot. About all things. I force myself to pray and make sure that my life insurance is up to date.

9. Once upon a time... I questioned my sexual orientation. However I am a bonafide pansexual... I'm just joking! Really! However I did question my sexuality and may have explored it in depth. May have...

10. I believe that anything is possible. I believe in miracles. I believe in grace and mercy. I believe in karma. I believe in love and I believe that love, indeed, conquers all.

And The Award Goes To...

ME? Awww gurl stop! Yes, yes, y'all!

The True Urban Queen has so graciously awarded me the "Your Blog is So Fabulous" award. Thank you very much. I am honored.

Here are the rules:
1. You need to list 5 Addictions that you have.
2. You have to pass this Tag to five (5) or more people with fabulous Blogs.

MY FIVE ADDICTIONS:

1. Peanut butter. Just last night I had an attack (hunger & boredom) and ate some peanut butter and graham crackers. I think it helps me to get in touch with the little girl in me as it sticks to the roof of my mouth. But then I also just enjoy the taste of it. I eat peanut butter every morning, take it like a multi-vitamin.

2. Hand bags. I have so many hand bags and all different colors too. I mostly like the big joints so I can put everything in one. I have no preference with a collection of name brand bags and no frills. LOL They just have to be fly and be able to hold all of my stuff.

3. Books. I never leave home without at least one. I never go long without reading a novel, a memoir or a self-help book. Right now I'm reading Love Your Life by Victoria Osteen.

4. Stationery. Pretty stationery. If you see my desk - oh my goodness! Paper is everywhere. At home, it's the same thing. I like flowers, colors, small scalloped paper, journals. I buy journals just to buy them and sometimes I give them away but mostly I hoard them.

5. Love. I love love. I'm addicted to it. "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." Love is the most beautiful energies I've ever experienced, nuth-ing like it. I keep this scripture, 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, on my desk.

And now, like my girl KiayaPhD, who has also been awarded and if she wasn't, I would have honored her, I am not going to tag anyone. Too many fabulous people, too many fabulous blogs... plus my blog circle is small and my peeps have probably already been awarded...

But I am going to shout out you fabulous blog authors! KayC, Lovebabz, ClnMike, KiayaPhD, MsTeeJaye, Chezniki, The Prisoner's Wife, Brandi Bates.
