Chocolate Girl Gets Awards and a Tag

Hey, that's me! Sorry - LOL - just couldn't title it the same old thing!

I am really so blessed and humbled to receive so many awards for my blog. Each and every one means a lot to me and I still am so delighted that people enjoy my blog. If you find a smile or a chuckle (or drool over some chocolate) while you're here, then I am happy!

My friend Kim from Homesteader's Heart gave me this fabulous award:

Hmmm...I've done a couple of these memes before and I've already given you 100 things about me on my sidebar, but I suppose I could come up with 6 more!

1. I'm always running late - I have no good excuse, no small children who need diaper changes, no car troubles, etc. I know it's a terrible habit and am trying to change it (only the Lord can help me, I've concluded). I do ask my friends and family's forgiveness for the many times I have been late. I also suggest that you secretly tell me to be somewhere 15 minutes earlier. If I show up too early, it's OK with me - I owe all of you many minutes!

2. My favorite breakfast cereals are the ones my Mom wouldn't buy me - that's right, she tried to be good to us, but it only made me crave Lucky Charms and Cocoa Pebbles as an adult! Oh yum, those are sounding really good right now. Don't worry - there aren't any here - right now.

3. I was in drama in high school - I loved drama class and being in plays. I was in at least 4 plays that I can think of and competed once in mime. The mime thing embarrasses my hubby like you can't believe! (Picture me miming that I'm in a box right now, then picture my hubby covering his eyes and shaking his head - LOL!) My drama teacher told me that I had "stage presence" and I'll never forget it!

4. I do not have call waiting - I disabled it on my phone. Sorry - I just don't like it. If I'm talking to someone, I don't want to be interrupted. Leave me a message and it will give me a little beep so I'll know that somebody tried to get ahold of me. Yes, I know emergencies can come up, but what did we all do before cell phones or call waiting? If I am worried about getting a call, I just stay off the phone.

5. I like fancy coffee drinks - from Starbucks or any other coffee place. I try to come up with reasons to justify why I "need" to get one: I worked really hard today; I didn't get much sleep; I haven't had one yet this week; It's vacation; It's my birthday month; I have a gift card; It's Monday, etc. I actually have cut back on those drinks - only once or twice a week now and yes, most of the time I get nonfat sugar-free and NO whipped cream 'cause I don't need all the calories.

6. I don't like to bake - Gasp! How can that be with all the yummy desserts on this blog? Oh, I love desserts and I bake quite a bit and send the desserts to friends and others. I have just recently figured out that I don't actually enjoy the baking process (measuring, mixing, cleaning up after) - it's the end result that I like! So I will work through the tough part to get that lovely dessert. I know, I'm weird.

Yay - I came up with 6 things! Now I have to tag 6 people to do the same:
1. Like a Warm Cup of Coffee
2. Homesteader's Heart
3. Blessed Beyond Imagination
4. Scooterblu's Whimsy
5. Susie's Homemade
6. Confessions of a Snowflake

I know some of you have done this already, but surely you can come up with more random things - LOL!! And if I didn't tag you, but you want to join in, please do and let me know so I can be fascinated by your randomness!

Have a wonderful Thursday! Don't forget your chocolate post for Friday - info here or look at last week.
