"Confession Tag" and "Blog Awards"....


Hello my friends! Ohhhh no....I've just been tagged! Hehe! Rechelle over at Walnuthaven Cottage tagged me to play "Confession Tag"....thanks Rechelle (I think!...hehe!) If you haven't ever met Rechelle, please go over and do so...she's such a sweet gal and has a beautiful home and a lovely blog...I follow it daily! Just click here to get to Rechelle's.


So here are the rules for Confession Tag:

Copy and paste the whole questionnaire and replace my answers with yours. You have to state and create a link for the blogger who tagged you. Pass to 4 other bloggers. Remember to inform them by commenting on their recent post. Display the logo anywhere on your blog. Last, answer each question with truth and nothing but the truth since this is a confession tag. Have Fun!

1)What is your blogger name? Chari

2) When is your birthday? August 20

3) How long have you been blogging? August 2008

4) Who tagged you? Rechelle over at Walnuthaven Cottage

6) What do you wish most for your birthday? Just to spend it with my loved ones.

7) What color are your nails now? au-natural...I very rarely paint my nails.

8) Any depressing thoughts lately? Yes, worried about some of my dear friends, their health and family circumstances!

11) Did you attend any school reunion after you graduated till now? No

12) Have you ever passed gas in public and pretended you didn't smell anything? Okay, this is just gross! My mama taught me manners!

13) Are you a clean freak? Yes, a resounding YES!!!

14) Which era do you wish you were born into? I grew up in the 70's...you know the era of "free love, free drugs, & rebellion"! Thank the Lord that I made it through that alive...but if I had a choice, I would have to say the 1700's in Europe!

19) What is your ultimate dream job? I would love to do interior design and get paid for it! Hehe!!!

20) What is it your hubby does that annoys you the most? Hmmm...I love and adore my honey...there's really not anything that annoys me...I guess I would have to say that he leaves his socks on the floor at night, that's about the biggest thing!

21) What is your dream car? A 1956 Ford Thunderbird...they're the cutest little cars!

22) Do you easily wake up in the morning? Yes, I'm always ready to be up and about! I actually hate sleeping...I always feel like I'm wasting time or missing out on something!

23) Do you like hairy men? Nope...my honey is clean shaven and no hair on the chest kind of guy!

24) How about goateed men? No...clean shaven, that's my story and I'm stickin' to it! Hehe!!!

25) Which one would you prefer, 2 hour spa, 2 hour Thai Massage or 2 hour foot massage? 2 hour foot massage....ohhhh yea, baby!!!

26) Have you ever wished you had a different name other than your real name? My full name is Charisse....when I was younger, I hated having to write out that long name on my school papers....that's how I came by the nickname Chari.

27) What is the most extreme sport you have ever done? Well, I have to admit that I'm not very athletic. I did do gymnastics in jr. high and high school though, and really enjoyed it!

28) Do you prefer traveling in Europe or Asia? I have already been blessed to travel in Europe....Switzerland, Germany, Austria, France, and Italy. If given the chance to do more...I'd want to go back to Europe for sure!!!

Congrats on you awards girl!! Gosh that tag sure had some different questions in it- --

Hey we both have birthdays in August!!!

Well I will hopefully get the rest of the breakfast area wallpapered tomorrow. Not sure when DH will have time to help me with the wainscotting but I am so glad to be getting this started.

Well friend- still praying for you for those prayer request- I have been trying to memorize this verse lately " He who sacrifices thank offerings honors me and he prepares the way so that I may show him the salvation of God" Psalm 50:23

Blessings

Chari,
I loved your little questionairre answers, you have a great sense of humor girl! You would be a great decorater. Cindy

Congrats on your awards - all of them well deserved!!

Miss Laura Lu/RMS4291960 said...

Good Mornin' Chari! Whew! I'm glad my name was not on that list for true confessions! Girl..you deserve every one of those awards! You are just one of the sweetest blogging ladies I've met. I hope you know how your sweet comments can just make my whole day brighter! I will be praying for you about the smoking and weight loss! I was blessed to quit smoking when I was still a teen cause my boyfriend and now DH was allergic! But the weight is still an issue! Even though I work at Curves I have no willpower when it comes to all the bad carb things...chips, cookies, candy, etc.! I'll pass this along though...I have started the new Curves Weight Loss plan and it really works! Don't know if you have a Curves around you but I think you'd love it! God Bless you today! Lauralu :)

Hi Chari, Congrats on all of those awards! I enjoyed reading about you, must be nice to only think of one thing that your hubby does that bugs you. I'm afraid I would have a really long list.LOL!! Thanks for stopping by and your nice compliments, much appreciated!! I will admit, Chase did look good in his tux! Kristen

Salmagundi said...

Congratulations on your awards! I so enjoy when you comment - you're the best!! Also, enjoyed the tag - I'll be praying about the quitting smoking issue. For some, that is the hardest thing to do. My mother tried so many times and never could - it finally killed her. I regret that I wasn't around close to have helped her. Bob & I quit 40 years ago - just decided one day when our 10-month old son got into the ashtray and made a mess. Neither one of us ever had another cigarette and did it without any problems. Good luck to you!!!! Sally
