Things I've Learned Thursday
1) Threatening a kid with "If you aren't good, then Santa isn't going to bring you any toys" no longer works.
2) Waving a tampon in my face and saying, "I'll be back, I have to go to the bathroom" when filling out a job application is not a way to make a good first impression.
3) Since moving to Oregon, I've fallen off the wagon as far as washing my car. Why wash it when it will rain five minutes after it's clean?
4) Kittens are under the impression that Christmas trees are their ultimate play toy. Climbing up and through the tree while knocking down every ornament makes for more fun.l
5) Cats know how to ignore the word "no".
6) Some people were never taught to play nice on the playground. Ultimately, they are now obnoxious, rude and bossy adults.
7) As I get older, I get more persnickety about writing with smooth ink pens, buying only certain brands of salad dressing and eating only crunchy apples with stripes.
8) Before I announce that it's "pouring outside", I should check to make sure I've turned off the bathroom faucet.
9) The greatest gift we can give to others is ourselves.
10) Ever since I mentioned the song 18 Cents in my last blog post, it's stuck in my head so here it is....
What have you learned?

I've learned that even when you don't think you're newsworthy, some one else might think you are! :_)
#4 and #5 - so true. I live with this daily. :)
#6 Sorry to say that this one is true too
#7 I'm with you on the pens
#8 Hahaha
#9 good reminder
Have a great day!
I used to also carry around my own fork, my "fork with the rose on it," in case I was eating in a restaurant and didn't like their fork. Now that's mental! So maybe I'm getting a little better in the pickiness department. That's what I learned today!
I have learned I'm not gonna put Eighteen Cents on my Pandora Christmas list! Heeehehe!
I'm so with ya'll about good pens. I'm a lefty and if they glop and smear they go in the trash baby!!!
Ya'll have a terrifically blessed day!!! :o)
BTW: You sound very content sweetie!
My car gets washed every time I have to take it for service so you can imagine it does not get washed too often. And now that it is freezing, bitter cold outside, I hardly wash it because the doors would freeze shut. :(
PS on the dog treats. The recipe makes a LOT of dog treats if you want it please email me... I can scan it to you my email is

And I can just imagine kittens in a Christmas tree- Yikes :-)
Merry Christmas, jj
#6 is oh so true. That book about learning everything essential in kindergarten is spot on in so many ways.
#7 - I think we've earned certain privileges as we get older. :)
I hope you have a wonderful holiday my friend.
