Tagged!

Woot! We've been tagged! Our fave new daddies at It's Daddies, Plural tagged us (thanks gents and Kensi) and now we're excited to tag it forward.

The rules for this award:
1) Choose a minimum of 7 blogs that you find brilliant in content or design.
2) Show the 7 winners names and links on your blog, and leave a comment informing them that they were prized with “Honest Scrap.” Well, there’s no prize, but they can keep the nifty icon.
3) List at least 10 honest things about yourself.

Right-e-o, here's our 10 honest things:

Zanne: I want to get married in sneakers in the snow.

Shan: I paint sometimes, and screenprint t-shirts.

Zanne: I always seem to pay bills late. Not too late, but they’re never early/on time. I think this is a small part of me rebelling against ‘the man’.

Shan: I quote lyrics in conversation. I can’t help it, I love music.

Zanne: For the first 5 months that we dated I sent Shan a new song every weekday so I could tell her how much I liked her without having to tell her, myself, how much I actually liked her.

Shan: Travelling solo for 2 years is my greatest achievement so far. I set a goal, I worked hard, I funded it all myself. I am now confident and independent and know I can achieve that which I set my mind to. I now know myself and I attribute this to my experiences overseas - the good ones, and the bad ones.

Zanne: I love volunteering on the Brisbane Pride Festival organizing committee.

Shan: I study an undergraduate degree externally. Ever the over-achiever, I’m terrified of a fail.
Zanne: I got a video camera for my birthday and have secret dreams to be a youtube sensation.

Shan: Home is where your heart is and my heart is in Vancouver. I can’t wait to return in August and I have high hopes that Zanne and I will stay there for a few years.

I went to the Valley and I saw...

I went to the Valley and I saw... two of the Valley’s finest ladies getting into fisticuffs in front of the food court entrance. This is nothing new, there are drunken disputes here constantly. But what was interesting was the 6 or so suits standing close by with smirks on their faces and hands in their pockets making no move to break up the fight. If it’s guys fighting no one stops, to stare or intervene, but as it was two women (as sadly decrepit as they were) the suits of the Valley found it appropriate to stop, stare and smile in a way that said they were secretly hoping the show would continue. Pricks.

new job: new people to come out to

I came out to my supervisor yesterday. It all began with one of those “girlfriend” or “girlfriend” moments. The conversation was fine, I could chat about Zanne all day long, but I do wonder: If I was straight would I be answering questions about my family’s thoughts on my relationship at the mere mention of my partner?

Cute as a Noah

I think the phrase "cute as a button" should be re-phrased as "cute as a noah" because this kid breaks all cute rules, pushes all cute boundaries and and makes puppies look like poopies.

We babysat on Saturday morning and the mornings always go too fast when Noah's around. Here we are playing horsey rides. I was the horse and Noah was the cowbaby.
