Things I've Learned Thursday

Is it Thursday already?

Things I've Learned.....

1) Flaming Hot Cheetos have got to be the leading cause of hyperactivity and red dye syndrome. (Not to mention that they load it with MSG just so you can crave more.)

2) After all these years, I still don't like my food to touch.

3) Day old coffee tastes like the inside of a tanker truck, yet, Boo drinks it every morning.

4) My pitbull Humble and Sam, the shih tzu have a big brother, little brother relationship. They truly love one another.

(Sam is licking Humble, an every morning routine.)

5)Walking into a hardware store is like walking into a waiting room full of guys waiting for testosterone shots. As much as I love browsing in the gardening section, I just can't see the joy of looking at drill bits for long periods of time.

6) No matter how old my daughters are, they will always be my babies.

7) Telling birth stories to Married Boo on her birthday was probably the best birth control measure ever! I think after I told her the "real" story...none of the painted over ones, she decided that she and her husband would wait for quite awhile before having their first.

8) Boo loves Monster Quest...Big Foot stories and Sasquatch...if I ever encountered one, I'd probably give him half of a sandwich and ask if he wanted a drink of water. Why run? If he's that big, don't you think he can outrun you? That also shows the movies that I watched as a kid...Godzilla and Gargantuan.

9)Is it just me or is our healthcare going to the dogs?


10)A smile can change a whole lot of things!

What have you learned today?

You'd have to have a pretty big plate to keep your food separate. Things like casseroles, stews, and soups are tricking you into mixing your food then!

Love the health care picture! That is classic and brought a much needed smile to my face among the loads of laundry I am doing while blogging.

I learned you can be afraid of something you really want and then risk losing it.

I cracked up at that sweet picture! I love dogs.

And I also don't want my food to touch. Started in 3rd grade and never ended. LOL.

Princess Nagger is showing signs of not wanting her food to touch, either...

Day old coffee? Boo is very brave... ;)

We had a St. Bernard and a cockapoo growing up - it was hilarious to see the cockapoo chasing the St. Bernard around the backyard...they were best buds. Love the picture of your doggies!

LOL -- If I have the presence of mind to think that when confronted with something that big...

Today, during my horseback riding lessons, I rode Charles Henry. I usually ride Echo. It was a little frustrating learning Charles, but before the lesson was over, I was cantering (the horse is slowly running). I learned to concentrate and be patient(for the zillionth time) today. By doing so, the end results were good. That could be a metaphor for other things in life.

Only I....

Only I --- could cut my tongue eating a graham cracker. Only I --- could be the designated pillow for the kitty. Only I --- could cry from hearing O Come All Ye Faithful. Only I --- could eat seaweed for breakfast and convince myself that it is the yummiest snack there is. (Even better than Reeses Puffs Cereal) . Only I --- could develop an allergy to fish after 49 years. Only I --- could have the joy of teaching a classroom of preschool kids in church and hearing them pray. Only I --- could have an epic fail day in the kitchen while making caramel apples. Note to self --lose the recipe for reverse caramel apples. Only I --- would get the same guy twice on the phone wanting to commit suicide - AGAIN. This time, though, he was threatening to take out a few people with him. Scary but true. Only I --- could misunderstand someone that is telling me that they are "packing". She said, "I'm still living here but I'm packing." My re...

My Bucket List

My twin sis and I have bucket lists. The funny thing is that they aren't literally on paper. They are in our heads. For instance, my Nay Nay called me and said, "You won 't believe what I did!  I got big girl shoes…for my bucket list." "Really? Big girl shoes?" I asked. I knew exactly what she meant. When we were born, and back in the day when braces could or should be recommended for feet that in-toed, we weren't given that joy. As a result, walking in high heels can often be a challenge. My Nay Nay decided that she was going to cross off one thing on that bucket list and found a deal of 10 pairs of heels. (Not one but 10. She went for the gusto.) Each day, she practiced walking in her big girl shoes until the moment finally came and she ROCKED those heels! Together we have decided that we WILL cross off stuff on our growing bucket lists. Some of those things are on both of our lists while others are our very own "personal" bucket lists...
