Honest Scrap Award – Honestly, Who Cares?
\
\
My friend, Kathy Jentz, editor and publisher of\’a0Washington Gardener tagged me for the Honest Scrap Award. \’a0The award has two components. You have to first list 10 honest things about yourself (and make them interesting), and second present the award to seven other bloggers. \’a0Honestly, who cares? \’a0Well, I guess Kathy cares enough to ask; so I will answer.\
\
10 Honest Things About Yourself\
- \
- At some point, on most days, I will eat a can of sardines at my desk. \’a0I no longer bother with dirtying\’a0up a dish…I just each them right out of a can – yum.
- I’m not fond of babies. \’a0At this stage, they are like a larvae waiting to morph into something I like – a child.
- I’ve never met a garden I didn’t like. \’a0People’s passions come through in the creating of each individual garden. \’a0I like that.
- I’m tidy, inside and out. \’a0When everything is in its place, I’m a happy girl.
- I didn’t like to do homework when I was in school and I don’t like to do it with my children. \’a0I make my husband do it.
- I play Christmas music in June, if I need to.
- I like to write USA after the zip code when addressing envelopes. \’a0I just like the way it looks.
- I’m consistant in my thinking. \’a0If I like you today, I will like you tomorrow.
- I’m a very good judge of people.
- I am an engineer and I think like an engineer. \’a0There is nothing that can’t be figured out, although I’m not always inclined too.

You’re just a rebel that’s all. It was interesting, and I do care.

I like you whole whole heaps! Love that you eat sardines out of a can. You are the best judge of people and perhaps the most consistent person I ever met. I’m very honored that you picked me and included me with this fun group of ladies now let me see if I can come up with something that I have not already blabbered. Is there anything I haven’t told on my blog already? I humiliate myself pretty often. Thanks so much for giving me another chance. \
Big hugs Helen…you are one of my favorite people!

Yay, that you took up the challenge where many fear to go! AND that you are still speaking to me
Plus I got to learn that sardine fact — I’m thinking my cat would like to adopt you.

Awww, thank you Dee. Yes, I am a rebel! H.
December 13th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Thank you for playing Anna! Since we are all learning about ourselves everyday, I am sure you will come up with some new stuff…you can do it champ!\
\
P.S. That reminds me of another thing I could add to my list…I like using sport analogies or cliches when discussing life.

Yes, friend, I’m still speaking to you…never forget number 8. Your cat would really like me, but I must tell her, I’m promiscuous. I give my empty cans of sardines to the neighborhood cats to lick dry. This habit has gained the attention to many feral cats. H.

[...] And finally, my \’a0friend Kathy Jentz, published and editor of Washington Gardener Magazine got me to do this Honest Scrap Award, Honestly Who Cares? [...]

Oh wow. Sardines?
December 14th, 2009 at 12:44 pm
Thanks a bunch Helen! I’m delighted to be included with such a nice group of bloggers. \
\
\
Sardines? Really? That I never would have guessed. But the part about you being a loyal friend was clear from the very beginning.
\
I’ll reflect on what makes me “honestly unique” during this holiday season and will definitely forward it on to other bloggers as soon as I survive the next few weeks.\
\
Meanwhile, thanks for being such a great inspiration to us all in the gardening world. So glad we had a chance to meet this year… Teresa

Helen, Thanks for the honour. I must say, it might just be coincidence, but I’ve never met a Helen I didn’t like… ;^). Sarah and I are pondering this and will let you know when we’ve responded with our confessional.
December 14th, 2009 at 5:26 pm
I can’t wait to learn a thing or two! H.
December 14th, 2009 at 5:28 pm
Helen, Helen here. Yes, aren’t Helens grand? I can’t tell you how often I’ve see your name left on a blog comment and thought I already left a message lol! To save me from wondering, I began using H instead. H.

Helen, We’ve finally put our Scrap up on our blog. Thanks for the fun. Gee, I sign my name H., too! But with our scrap confessions, I know that folks will have no problem telling us apart.

[...] never. I mean, Who Cares? But Lisa did a great list, and she doesn’t even like chocolate. And Helen Yoest did it, and she eats sardines out of the can. Teresa O’Connor did it, and she allows a few slackers [...]
