I have to say I've been secretly coveting this award for many months now. I don't know what it means but it's just so flippin' cool. My Uncle Howard used to own a scrap yard. My Uncle Jake has always collected scrap cars, and my father is a carpenter and has so much scrap wood you could build a brand new house. So I guess, in a kind of weird way, I deserve it. Hopefully that doesn't mean that my books are scrap. But I won't think about that.
First let me thank Roxy over at A Woman's Write for giving this to me. She says she has the same mental block about computerly things that I do so it's no wonder we're friends. With this award I believe I'm supposed to tell you 10 things that make me happy and except for the first one, they are in no particular order.
Here goes:
1) My daughter -- even though since before Christmas she's been trying out her new found independance and I'm wondering where my "precious child" has gone.
2) Masterpiece Theatre -- especially when they're running a Jane Austen marathon which they're doing this month.
3) My writing -- I think it's progressing nicely and I feel I have a grip on what it takes to bring a story together.
4) My amzing blog friends -- you guys totally rock my world. It's great to know I have someone to talk to each and every day.
5) Sunrise -- now that we're out of the blue funk of the holidays I love getting up with the dawn. It's peaceful and calm and for an hour or so I feel like it's just me and God hanging out for a little while.
6) Bedtime -- as much as I love waking with the birds, I'm pretty dang tired by the end of the day and I just bought some new sheets and a beautiful down comforter so snuggling into them has been an especially nice treat these last few weeks.
7) Being Outside -- I love being outside and working in the yard and in the next few weeks the weather will definitely be improving here in the Piedmont so I can start re-doing my gardens and working on my fence.
8) Reading -- I haven't really had the chance to indulge these last few years so I've been playing catch up. Nothing like curling up with the cat and a good book.
9) The Beach -- any time, any season, any beach, for any reason or no reason. Some day I will go back.
10) Earth Day -- cuz it's my birthday. And my dad's too.
Without further ado, I need to pass this on to: (and I'm trying to figure out who I haven't given out an award to at all)

Hee! Thank you. And I have to say that you are really making me want to go visit a beach and take a long walk by the ocean. :)
Wendy -- Thank you.

Sarah Jayne -- It's been almost 2 and a half years for me. And in RI you see the water everywhere. So this is just like culture shock living here.

I too love Masterpiece Theater!! Although, come Sunday, I'm so depressed about having to go back to work, I always forget it's on.
I've been trying to comment on your page for days! I finally got on a computer where it works.
Congratulations. Honest Scrap was my first award, so it's sentementally my favorite. Plus, look at it! It's all red with a manly arm and a weapon. Okay, it's a tool, but it can be USED as a weapon, and that's hawt.
Hannah -- Thanks, I've been wondering where you were. Yeah, I know Sunday nights. I'm just about ready to drop myself. Too bad they didn't rebroadcast on Tuesday or something.
Christi -- Thanks. And yes, I agree 100%, manly hawt.
