Is it Just Me or.......

Head on over to Hallie's place to blog along with her Is It Just Me Or....

1) The older guys get, the higher they wear their pants?

2) I can change clothes at least three times if I feel like I look fat in the shirt or pants I've chosen.

3) Cleaning out my closets and drawers is exhilarating. I feel so good when I'm clutterless.

4) I'd rather help the homeless by giving a loaf of bread, peanut butter, jelly and fruit than giving them money.

5) The old school candy like Jujyfruit, Milk Duds, Mike N Ikes, Hot Tamales, Bit O Honeys, Chick O Sticks, Now or Laters, tasted way better way back when than they do now.

6) It takes me awhile to get used to Boo when he cuts his mustache off or shaves his hair off. I get shy around him until I'm used to him again.

7) When a bill collector calls and they ask for me by name, I'll say, "She's not home at the moment, can I take a message?"

8) I am struggling with hearing Christmas music right now. It just seems a bit too early.

9) I could eat Chinese food 5 days a week! (The other two days would be seafood and pasta).

10) I get easily annoyed when Boo procrastinates, yet, I am guilty of it at times too, like when it comes to exercising.

Cute post! What a great idea! Thanks for sharing! I can relate to the mustache haircut thing, I'm the same way every time hubby gets his hair cut!

We have a lot in common. I agree about the old school candy tasting better back then and I always prefer giving food rather than money. I could eat Chinese 5x a week too!

Nope! It's not just you. I always get thrown by number 5. I think I'm going to enjoy that candy bar or that stick of gum but the way I remember it is not the same as the actual experience.

Haha, you so obviously did not grow up in the Philippines, Simone! I remember that the radio stations would start blaring out Christmas carols as early as September --the first of the -ber months. :)

Since we don't really have Thanksgiving here (nor in the Philippines), we don't have to wait until after that to start playing Christmas carols, which we have started to do every night since the tree was put up. :)

Each year, we men get a memo stating at what level to wear our pants this year, based on our age and nationality.

Cute post.

I hear you on #5!!!! I used to LOVE Milk Duds as a kid, now they hurt my teeth they taste so bad.

And isn't to great to be clutter-free. I love that feeling!

The next time a bill collector calls, say:

"This is her maid. May I take a message?"

Please? Do it for ME!

Love the list!!!

I too think the 'back then' candy doesn't taste as good now. :-( Sure wish it did because I loved that stuff!

I could eat mexican food EVERY SINGLE day!

I agree the candy tasted better "back in the day" Also the Hostess Cupcakes - now they taste "artificial" if that makes any sense.

I could eat spaghetti 7 days a week!!

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 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.

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...
