25 Random Things



 1.  I haven't written anything in 4 months.  Sad, but true.
 2.  Life gets in the way of life sometimes and you have to just shove it aside and start again.
 3.  True friends stick no matter what.  I have some true friends.  I'm lucky that way.
 4.  My favorite things right now are Trader Joe's pumpkin spice coffee, Smartwool socks, and Argon
      oil in my hair.
 5.  The last person I laughed with was my sister.  She is still the funniest girl I know.
 6.  I wish my husband Greg cooked dinner every night.  He is a good cook.  I am not.
 7.  I very rarely watch television.  Seriously, only about 2 hours a week, if that.
 8.  My dog is the softest thing I own.  Petting him lowers my blood pressure.  I know it does.
 9.  The person I admire most right now is my son Joseph.  For a lot of reasons.  He is something.
10.  My other son Sam, sings while he does just about everything and it secretly makes me smile.
11.  I have to make my bed every day or I can't get back into it at night.  Seriously.
12.  My family did a photo shoot in front of a green screen and the photographer made the background  
the album cover of "Abbey Road".  Greg is getting a 14x14 of it for Christmas and I can't wait to give it to him!  Shhh!
13.  I still ask for and listen to advice from my Mom and Dad.  It's good stuff.
14.  My brother is a really good uncle.  I appreciate that about him so much.
15.  I cry in church almost every Sunday.  It's a good cry.
16.  I like owls.  My friends all know not to buy me any "owl" stuff.  I don't want to be the crazy owl lady.
17.  Our new mailman is really cute and probably gay. Just a hunch.
18.  I often get song lyrics wrong, and my family corrects me and then makes fun of me for the rest of my life.
19.  When I was a little girl, I wanted to be Josie and play the tambourine in The Pussycats.  I still do.
20.  I'm trying to decide if I should stop coloring my hair and just go gray.
21.  The last really good book I read was "The Healing" by Jonathan Odell.  I also liked "The Perks of
Being a Wallflower" by Stephen Chbosky.
22.  Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day orange clove scented soy candles are all over my house. I am not getting      
paid by Ms. Meyer, Trader Joe, Mr. Smartwool, or Lady Dansko (see #24)
23.  When I lived in NC, I picked up a little Southern drawl and said "Bless your heart" all the time.
Now I hang with my British neighbor Kay and I say "lovely" and cuss a lot more.
24.  I mostly wear jeans and Dansko clogs.  I have shiny patent red ones that I call my ruby slippers.
My other pairs are smooth tan leather, and suede gray boots.  I think I'll go for the tooled black next.
25.  I would like to thank you for reading my blog.  Thank you for reading my blog!
