Honestly? Really? Wow!

So this morning I'm working on it being morning, and well that takes a bit but for some reason, and I open up the inbox and there looking at me is an award! So I've what posted 7 times here? and there's an award? Want to see it? Thank you to Kaylen for sending this on. Her Blog Title totally fits! This Time it's Serious! yep it is. Honestly is Serious Business.






^^^^^ Mine!

So this award like most Blog awards comes with Rules, and these Rules I like it's all about the Honesty. The telling of yourself and really this place could use some ideas. I'll take that challenge. Now 7 Honest things...

My family doesn't know where I blog, well my kids know they see me typing away, but my Parents? and Brothers and Sisters? uh no. I leave this information out. They can see enough of me over at Facebook and I'm silly enough over there for everyone.

I hate to house clean! yep, hate it I know everyone hates it to some level but I'm talking bout the hate that goes along these lines, "leave the dust bunnies alone, they have their space and I have mine" the only time it's dust bunny season around here is when someone is coming. ALL visitors must give me atleast a weeks notice unless I know you also have a dust bunny hunting restriction in their homes. Then I know they are here to visit me and have no desire to check out our dust bunny habitats.

This is difficult without giving you all the information in the back of my brain, there's a lot I don't share on my blogs.

I am not crafty at all, nope I took apainting class but I can't draw even a cat for halloween. I can trace great. I will be Tracing my artwork for the house. Dust bunnies? they can be halloween theme right?

Oh lastnight I didn't eat after supper, nope I didn't and I used the Stepper. I started watching MIIB (Men in Black 2) while Stepping away. I got 20minutes in according to the DVD player's counter. I will put the movie in again today and continue, now because I wrote this under the honesty, I'll have to keep going.

I'm not looking forward to the Hubbie's Christmas party with his company. There is an auction we can't afford to bid on, there is food that is so high in calories the tables are struggling to hold it up, and there are the friends we only see once a year. I do though love that they will take this time to share their good will with others. That part keeps me going back every year.



I love Grocery shopping. I don't know why? but I think it's because it's the one place where I can shop and it's "necessities" vs wants. If I throw a Bag of chocolate chips in the cart, it's for the baking, and that's fine. If I go to say a housewares store? I'll see something but I wont buy it, it's not needed. I can live with using my small sauce pan for making my tea vs a kettle or teapot, but carrots? and potatoes? or Crackers? Those things have to go in the cart. Maybe some day I'll get that Kettle?

Oh and a bonus? my cursor vanished, honestly it's gone. The letters are typing but that flashing part? it's gone. I wonder if it was ever there and if I'm just noticing this now? that would be a bit scary because I've been using Blogger for 5yrs now.

So that's the honesty up there, or what I could come up with that doesn't put all my dirty laundry out there for the world to see or my family to find.

Now to give the award. Seems people are finding me easily enough so now I'm going off to find some of you. I'm giving this one out to a new follower following Kaylen's example

Tania over at Growing Towards a Dream
I love that she's got goals and she's working towards them. It's great to read and learn from others too. And did you see her furbaby?

Thanks again go Kaylen!

Falling into the Trap of Food

Since this is the space for "me" I'd like to confess to almighty Blog that I've over eaten a LOT Of Chocolate this past week. I'd also like to confess to the overeating of apples. Yes you read it right apples. Ah but Apple you say? How can an apple be bad? Oh let me list the ways...
Apple Crisp/Crumble, YUMMY topped with ice cream? sure.
Apple Bread, Yummy,
Apple muffins, Yes they taste wonderful, warm or cold, but I've rarely had them cold
Apple sauce Sweetened?
Apple Fritters, the store made those
Apple Jam? neighbour gave me this and uh it's great on toast bread
Apple dipped in Chocolate pudding. Yup
Apple in carmel, this one someone told me and I think it's better not to even try
Carmel apples,
Candy apples
Chocolate covered Carmel apples with nuts, too dangerous to try but I saw them.

So there you have it a very scary list of what apples will do to my butt! I don't think there is enough spandex to fix this.
October 31st it's coming! its Scary in more ways then one. Halloween Candy? I'm weak. Leftovers are bad! I'm nervous. Chocolate is sold in easy to bite sizes, and multiples, and before you know it the bag is empty. I didn't plan to eat the whole box of bars. I didn't. I bought it for the family, but "ME?" "I" ate it. I ate a lot of it. Ok well there were 14 regular size bars. I shared 2 each with my 3 kids. Eight Bars are missing....

On the plus side, my Stepper is now living in my basement infront of a Television and a DVD player. We don't get any reception here, it will have to do. Any suggestions on what to watch while I work my leg muscles?

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I'm here trying to sneak a few minutes out of the kitchen to read some blogs and then I said to myself, well really you need to say Thank You! for all those that come to read, all those that write for me to read. Thank you!


Enjoy the Turkeys, Hams and anything else you find that makes you happy and celebratory this Canadian Thanksgiving Weekend.

Over the River and Through the Woods

Sometimes I'm amazed at what I can find living here.
