So here’s the funny thing. Jenna at Avasmommy tagged Liz for the honest scrap meme. The same one I did yesterday. She tagged me as well, but I’d already done it. (Love you Jenna.) Anyway, Liz and I were talking and she said she wanted to do it. I said, on my blog or yours and she said on mine. No matter what she said below, I promise you, this was HER IDEA.
I’m not sure exactly how to get her to write on her own blog, but until then, I’ve given her free reign here.
Honest revisited: Liz’s version
1. I really, really don’t feel like doing this right now. However? I told a friend I’d do it tonight. A best friend. 
We shall see if I can make it to ten…
2. I like Oreos. But only the seasonal ones. If they aren’t seasonal, then they have to be double-stuffed for me to eat them. I know they say that the seasonal ones are exactly the same as the regular ones. I don’t think it’s true.
3. I have a moderate addiction to Bejeweled on Facebook. What? You don’t think “moderate” describes it correctly? Maybe you are just jealous that my score is better than yours…? No? That’s not it? OK. Fine… Moving on.
4. I don’t drink. Mostly because I’ve never found anything that I really like the taste of. I don’t like fruit juice, so that eliminates the majority of mixed drinks. Also? It’s possible that I’m a bit of a control freak and the idea of being drunk in any way, shape, or form scares the crap out of me.
5. I don’t know what I want to be when I grow up. I also have no idea when I’ll be grown up…
6. I have a very low pain tolerance. Or, you could say, I’m a big baby. Epidural for labor and delivery? You betcha!
7. When I make Thomas’ lunch, I draw a silly picture on his napkin. Some days I wish I had never started doing it because now it is expected. Other days, it makes me feel like a good mom.
8. I don’t watch scary movies. When I have nightmares, they are classic horror ones. CLASSIC. Like the serial killer is ransacking the house searching for me. Or the chainsaw murder is cutting through the door. Really. And that is without watching scary movies. Does that mean that what I fear most is fear?
9. Dark chocolate is the only chocolate worth eating.
10. I’ve been thinking about trying to start blogging again. And/or considering what I want my blog to be. And then, I look around at the laundry which multiplies like rabbits, the never ending trail of little socks up the stairs, the kitchen counter that sprouts gardens of dirty dishes from a few seeds… And I think I’m crazy to even CONSIDER blogging with any sort of regularity.
Yay! I did it! Now I’m off to celebrate with a stack of Halloween Oreos and a game (or 25) of Bejeweled.

Grab My Button!
I’m a joiner
You Bejeweled score makes me laugh every time I see it. It is so ridiculously out of reach! It’s good though…I play less because I know I’ll never catch you!

@ali (adil320), Hey Ali, I spend tons of time trying to beat her. Every dam week. Only once did I ever manage it. I think it was like 7 weeks ago and she was sick. The girl is gifted.
HA!! I got her to write!!
In all seriousness, I love that we’ve done this 10 honest things list. It really reveals why we all get along so well.
#4 is another reason I don’t drink as well. AM SUPER CONTROL FREAK.
Again, I do hope you find time to blog, if only for yourself. But if you do, I will definitely be front and center to read it.
xoxo

@avasmommy, Keep it up. :0) One day, we will get her to write on her blog. Or start a new one. That might be the thing too. Hmmm.
Agree with you on this list. It’s funny to read everyone’s.
wow. I can’t eat the seasonal oreos. the colors freak me out. However, when those little keebler elves made Spiderman fudge striped cookies, it was game on!
Hey Liz? I think we may be twins. Serious. LOL.
In all seriousness though…I know very few adults who know and are doing exactly what they want to do when they grow up. Maybe that’s what retirement is for? No idea. But I know I’m not doing it either. Then again, I am not convinced I’m a grown up yet.
Thanks all for the comments!
After eating my ‘reward’ Oreos last night, I realized that I should have included that there is only one right way for me to eat them. With a glass of milk, dunked 2/3′s of the way in for a count of 20. It’s possible that I’m a little compulsive. Ha!
Fun stuff! Thank you for sharing yourself.

Wow Liz – I completely relate to most of these. The Bejeweled addiction? Yep, got that. The not drinking? Yep, I’m a great companion. I’m ALWAYS the designated driver. Largely because I don’t trust my friends to do it instead. And the blogging. I’m trying to get into it again. Who knows where that’ll go.

#7 — I feel the same way. Sometimes I’m in such a crappy mood that I don’t feel like writing a cute little note. But then I was cleaning out my daughter’s backpack and I found she had saved all the napkins one of those million useless pockets. I melted.
Also, I LOVE that Liz has her own category on your blog Issa. That is seriously so cute.

@Kirsten, I added it this time. Not sure she noticed. May go back and add it in the others. I don’t know if getting her to blog is gonna happen. may just give her a day a week here.
I’m addicted to Bejeweled and Farmville. It’s a sickness. And once I start playing either it’s very hard to pull myself away. Is there a 12-step program?
Oreo’s rock and I love every kind of chocolate, but the dark kind!
Thanks for sharing Liz.

The Bejeweled thing: oh yeah, same here. My house could be on fire & I’m not sure I’d notice for that 60 seconds.

I haven’t done the Facebook games yet. I don’t need another time suck. Oreo’s are the most awesome cookie ever (double stuff for sure) and dark chocolate is the bestest.
.-= But Why Mommy´s last blog ..Illogical =-.
Liz I am so glad you did this b/c I hear so much about you from Issa and Jenna that it’s nice to get a glimpse of you. I really hope we can be friends…but I don’t like oreos. Of any kind.I do prefer dark chocolate though and totally get not knowing what to be when you grow up. I am just going to do whatever allows me the most time with my kid until he has a life of his own. *tear* LOL

Seasonal Oreos definitely taste better than regular Double Stuffed. Halloween is the best!
Maybe if you put that Bejeweled habit in check we could get you to blog
