Mandatory Blog Here

So my sweet friend nominated me for a blog award. The honest scrap award located here She also challenged me to do the same to 7 others. The thing is list 10 honest AND interesting things about yourself. We all know lists are no problem. I adore lists. The other requirement? Honesty? Easy enough. Interesting? That could be tricky. I never claimed I was interesting and quite frankly I bore myself silly at times. Last thing nominate 7 others for it. I just said I was honest and uninteresting, it should come as no suprise I dont have seven friends. Since I am one to never leave a task that can be done half arsed, as shown here , I will list seven instead. 1. I can never wear the same pair of pantyhose twice. 2. I have wild crazy elaborate daydreams. 3. I have always felt I was meant to do something great in my life. 4. I have lived in the same house for 18 years because I am too lazy to move 5. I worry about my daughter a lot and hope she is happy. 6. I never want to live alone. 7. I car

When my mother was ready to leave her home in the country, I insisted she move to town. One reason, she would be close to me of course, what an incentive that is in it self. She could come clean my house for spending money She could even cook for us! Wow! The other, of course, was the beauty of town living. Beautiful things like: Food delivery Shopping proximity Trash pick up Sewer Curbside Recycling But the main selling point, obviously, is winter driving. The secondary country roads are woefully neglected. Residents drive perilously down unlighted, tenuous, winding paths There is neither a glimmer of salt nor a hope of a snow plow. But in town, I told her, the roads are cleaned right away. They even plow the alley ways Even if they don’t, with all the traffic, there are clear tracks to navigate by 8 am The snow is ALWAYS cleared away and gone by noon. Who wouldn’t live here? So of course she moves here. AND We have sub-zero weather and non-stop snow. So of course I was a liar, she cl

I, among other talents, can whip up a great tasting home made meal. That is not to say I am a good cook. I am however creative. I like To think of myself as queen of the 10 minute prep meal. Tonight I am making one of my favorite dishes.

Being the worldly mature wise woman that I am, I thought I would share with my dear friend THE INTERNET some of the golden nuggets of wisdom I have accumulated over the years. If a dog eats a tampon it comes out whole. If you mow over it in the yard puffs of white confetti shoot out the side. If you have hemorrhoids and wear a girdle, it will speed healing and ease pain Caffeine withdraws causes severe headaches and can take weeks to go away. When your kids are older they won’t talk of the trip to Disneyland but will go on about the times you sat under their fort and played Babies. EX-Smokers are not preachy pushy because they want to help you, they miss smoking and you are enjoying it way too much. Some women love to complain There isn’t much you can’t buy. If you sing out loud in your car at the top of your lungs with your kids they will do the same with theirs. If you do it with your husband they will tell you to shut up Video games are addicting Some people don’t want to laugh Be a
