I was tagged by Caratunk Girl to share ten honest things about myself. This is such a fun post and I've really enjoyed reading all the other Honest Crap blog posts. Hopefully, mine won't be too painfully boring.
Here goes...
1. I'm terribly uncomfortable in large social gatherings - even if I know everyone. I'm much more comfortable in a small group of friends.
2. I avoid sweets (cookies, cupcakes, brownies, etc.) at all costs because I have no self control. I will binge eat an entire tray of brownies so I've learned it's better for me just to not have any.
3. I hate pizza and macaroni and cheese. The only pizza I eat is from California Pizza Kitchen.
4. This recession has turned my life upside down in every possible way. The last two years have been the biggest struggle of my life. Even though I still can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, I am grateful for the lessons that I've learned during this time. I am a better person for it.
5. I'm 5'11" and being tall makes me feel too masculine.
6. My guilty pleasure is celebrity gossip blogs. My top 3 are Perez Hilton - I've been a fan of his since waaay back when he was in NY as Pagesixsixsix; Idontlikeyouinthatway - definitely NSFW but it takes sarcasm to a whole new level; and Celebrity Baby Blog - just because.
7. I have ZERO tattoos and plan on keeping it that way but the only one I would consider is, of course, the M-dot.
8. I'm a people pleaser to a fault but I'm finally learning to make "me" a priority.
9. My two pet peeves are poor grammar and tardiness. Don't get me wrong, I make grammatical mistakes all the time and I'm certainly no Rhodes Scholar but I do know the difference between there, their and they're. As for tardiness, again, I have children and I understand that things happen but I'm talking about the people who are late for EVERYTHING. It's rude.
10. I have a finance degree but I am terrible with numbers. Terrible.
At this point, I think all my blogger friends have been tagged already. Thank you for all the great posts - it was fun to read!

I'm with you 100% on #1 - i always feel like a fish out of water at social events no matter how many people i know and definitely #2. I won't even go there with the sweets b/c once I do, that's it...all or none baby!
Great list!

3. GASP!!!!!! REALLY????
10. I work in the financial business and I suck at numbers, scary huh
Great list, thanks for sharing it with us! Oh, #4...I think the recession has hit everyone. I know so many people that have been effected by it. I hope you get to the end of the tunnel soon!
Thanks for the comments! Sometimes it's a little weird putting this sort of stuff out into bloggerland :) I appreciate the kind feedback.
Big D - my husband eats so much pizza that when my boys were little, every time they heard the doorbell ring they would yell "pizza!" LOL So after 14 years, I'm a little sick of it ;)
I like your list! BTW, I looked for you and think I may have seen you at the water station but my mind didn't register until you said on my blog that you were at the waterstation after the race. I came by with a lady in a pink running skirt. I took water from the woman with blond curly hair... but then my brain was on "get solid food" mode so I could be confused too. : )
