An Award!! Aaaawwww....You Shouldn't Have!!


I was given an award over the weekend from By The Hair Of My Chiny Chin Chin. I was pretty much gone all weekend so I had to wait until today to accept it. Thanks so much!! Of course there is a catch--it's also a tag. WHAT!? I have done like a million of these things lately but I guess that's what happens when people love you so much right?! (0; So now I have to tell you 10 honest things about myself.
#1 - I have a bad temper. Sad but true.
#2 - I have NO patience--AT ALL!! I am the least patient person ever.
#3 - I blog too much. Sometimes I park the kids in front of the TV just so I can blog. I am a bad mom!!
#4 - I love chocolate. All kinds, all flavors, all shapes and all sizes.
#5 - I really enjoy doing service for others. It always makes me feel better when I do some sort of service. If you are ever feeling down--make some cookies and take them to a widow or a neighbor and I guarantee that you will feel better instantly!!
#6 - I love my calling in the Church. I never thought I would say that!! When the Bishop extended the calling I asked him if he was kidding--he wasn't. I have grown and learned so much!!
#7 - I dye my hair. I have SO much gray in my hair that I have to. My mom and her mom were both prematurly gray and apparently I inherited that from them--good times!!
#8 - I rarely take time for myself or buy myself new clothes or shoes.
#9 - I love my husband and my kids with all of my heart and soul.
#10 - Even if I blog too much it has been worth it to meet all of you!! When I say I like meeting new blog friends I REALLY mean it. So to all of my blog friends that are new and that I have never met, to all the ones I have met, and to all the ones that I know in real life and that are my wonderful friends--I adore each and everyone of you!!
Now I am supposed to award/tag some others but I will leave it up to you. I love all of your blogs so if you want this award and the tag that goes with it--be my guest!!

How fun to learn more about you! Hope you have a beautiful day! ♥ Hugs :)

Jules AF said...

Now I'm curious. What's your calling??

Jo said...

I want to know your calling too! And the adoration goes both ways!

Jillene said...

My calling is the 2nd Counselor in the Relief Society Presidency. It is a lot of work and I mostly work with older sisters but I really do love it way more than I ever thought I would.

Just SO said...

I have very little patience as well. My oldest son has helped me in that area...a little.

I color my hair as well. My mom and her mom are both totally silver. I don't hold out much hope for myself.

And I've loved getting to know you as well.

rychelle said...

you so deserve this award.

i hope we get to meet in person some time soon!

Victoria said...

Ah I always thought a relief society calling would be fun!

Annette Anthony said...

You are so honest that those who know you......already knew those things! It's nice to know a genuine person.
Cute background!

Erin said...

I've got this tag set to auto post later this week.

I love your honesty. And yes, I blog too much. And yes, I love chocolate. And yes, I love my family. We have a lot in common :)

Whitney R said...

At least some of the friends you know in real life COMMENT on your blog! Mine don't. Just my new internet bloggy friends. They make me feel loved!

Congrats on the award - you deserve it! Now go buy yourself some new shoes!

Lara Neves said...

I think I can agree with you on every single one of those, except the one about gray hair. I've been lucky enough to only find a couple so far.

But, I bet I'm more impatient than you are. Something I'm definitely working on. :)

Mary said...

As I am sure you know....I also lack patience, especially for ignorance.

Kristina P. said...

Congrats on the award. I fortunately haven't been cursed with gray hair yet.

Kristen said...

I agree with Annette, I already knew this about you. Thanks for making me feel loved though and I love you back!

Anonymous said...

Congrats! You did a great job with this!..... I refuse to admit that I have gray hair!!!!☺

Unknown said...

These are great little tidbits about you...and I am always looking for a chocolate bonding sister.

And I have to say , I love the new festive background. SO cute!

Brittany Marie said...

You are AWESOME, Jillene, what more can I say?

tiki_lady said...

I loved it all, i like your honest scrap!

Jen said...

It was fun learning things about you! I got this same tag and haven't don't it yet and need to get moving on it. Oh BTW, I've been dying my hair since my 20's (I'm in my 40's now). What's your calling?

Anonymous said...

You can't possibly be less patient than me. I'm awful. Maybe it's good I blog so much, cause then I'm not yelling at my kids. Brittany, they'd never let ME adopt.

Strawberry Shortcake said...

We have a lot in common :) I love your honesty and getting to know you a little more. You are adorable!

Shell in your Pocket said...

I always love hearing more about you so I love tags. Thanks for sharing more about yourself. I've loved getting to know you through your blog.

Heather of the EO said...

I too love your honesty.

You're too funny. I do really love when people are super honest though. It's not that you're revealing something awful. Just things that we can all relate to! I love it! :)

rachel said...

Great tag! I love how in a relatively short time we can get to know each other so well. That's why I love blogging so much. I love reading your blog!

Wendyburd1 said...

heather said...

Ah, I'm so feelin' the love!
