Token Fat Friend sent me this award on Sept. 29 and I’m just now posting it. I apologize for taking so long Token.

Rules:
1. “The Honest Scrap” award must be shared!
2. The recipient has to tell 10 true things about themselves.
3. The recipient has to pass along this prestigious award to 10 more bloggers.
4. Those 10 bloggers all have to be notified they have been given this award.
5. Those 10 bloggers should link back to the blog that awarded them.
10 true things about me:
- I got my first job at the age of 15 as an Executive Janitorial Engineer and Executive Groundskeeper at Jeffcoat Mechanical in Birmingham, AL. Basically I cleaned the office and cut the grass. This just happen to be the same place where my mom worked.
- I worked at Jeffcoat until I was 16 for no pay. Mr. Jeffcoat kept track of my hours and put my pay towards one of their older used work trucks. So basically I worked every Sat for a year and got an old truck.
- My first truck was an ’87 Ford Ranger with a 4 cylinder engine, manual tranny, and no air conditioning.
- I went to a small Christian school from 5th grade to 12th grade.
- If my mom had not put me in private school, I probably would have dropped out of school when I could have legally dropped because of public school students poking fun of me.
- My two favorite TV shows are Criminal Minds and COPS
- I hate the term “Dirty South”
- I’m overdue for a vacation. My favorite vacation spot is the beach. MMM Corona.
- My favorite hobby is photography. I actually went to a 2 year technical college for photography.
- I started this blog just to document my weight loss. I had no clue that I would get so much support. I had almost given up hope with people in general because of all the teasing I’ve had in the past. I am truly blessed and thankful.
Here are the 10 bloggers that I’m giving this award to:
- Stages of Change
- Suzanne at Spunkysuzi Working Towards A Healthier Me
- Lori at Finding Radiance
- Jen at Prior Fat Girl
- Jared at 12 Million Steps
- The League of Extraordinarily Fat Gentlemen (excluding Jack Sh*t because he’s already received the award) :
- Fat Daddy Rants
- Tony “The Anti-Jared” Posnanski
- Carlos at You’re Gonna Need A Bigger Boat…
- Tony at I Don’t Want To Die of a Heart Attack When I’m 25
- Sean at Losing Weight Every Day
You guys/gals have probably already received this award or do not participate in blog awards, but I’m giving to you anyways. Have fun!

Cool stuff. But really, no air-conditioning in your car? In the south? With the heat AND humidity? You’re a tough guy! Friend of mine in AL says that every summer there is a rash of thefts of window air-conditioners. I grew up in SE TX, so I can believe it!
Cheers for the photography… I love that too! Private school 1st grade all the way through high school. Truth? Those students just as cruel.

Your mom sounds like a great lady. I love to hear when parents actually pay attention to what is going on in their kids lives and take action to make things better. Good on your mom, and good on you for sticking it out in school.
You should post some of your phots. I love photography and seeing how other people view the world.
