Things I've Learned Thursday
1) I've been in Oregon for 6 months now and I still get lost going home.
2) Using Oovoo is better than skype. We made my parents day as they got to chat with not only myself and my daughter but my sister and her kids, via Oovoo. All three of us in different states, yet, we were carrying on a conversation together like we were all in the same room. The only thing we couldn't do is hug one another.
3) I know it's going to be a good day when I hop out of bed and my hair looks just the way I want it without having to run a comb through it.
4) I need to have a meeting with the ant/tour director that booked my kitchen countertop as their get away resort. They are enjoying their saunas by the stove, getting their swim on in the sink and drying off by the dishwasher.
5) I'm still trying to figure out how Elizabeth Taylor was married 8 times. That's 8 times trying to adjust to married life. That's 8 I do's. Wow! Amazing!
6) Pink is the new white, thanks to the red sweater I washed with my light colored clothes. Well, at least I'm ready for the spring.
7) A fire truck parked in front of the house makes my heart skip a beat. But, the thought of having a fire station on my street with hot firemen makes my skip even faster. (Yes, they are building a neighborhood station on my street and I hope that from my room window, I have an eye view.)
8) I don't suffer from buyer's remorse - I suffer from, "I should've bought it when I had the chance" remorse.
9) When applying for a job, one should not bring their two kids and a relative; proceed to all individually ask to use the bathroom and then raid the candy bowl.
10) Dog treats are disgustingly nasty. (Don't ask.)

First I need to check out Oovoo. I've never heard of it, but we've been using Skype with Andy in Afghanistan and it's not been so great.
I think you better tell the ant tour director that you need a cut of her pay if you are going to be the host!
Elizabeth Taylor - yes, I'm tired and overwhelmed just thinking about it.
I'm thinking that job seeker doesn't get the job!
And the firemen down the street...ooh, la, la!!!!!
LOL
You are a hoot!!
You already knew that didn't you?
Thanks for the Oovoo tip. I've never heard of it, but will check it out.
XOXO
Have a fantastic weekend, Simone!
#6 Rit sells a color remover. I have used it more than I care to admit. Pink baseball pants don't look very manly.
#7 One of our single fathers is a firefighter. It's hard to remember who the focus is supposed to be on....
Thank you as always for the smile!
I love when you share your observations and lessons on
Thursdays!
If ya can fine where the ant tour begins...they won't cross black pepper. :o)
Years and many moons ago they made a dog treat that looked like a Hershey Kiss. My friend and I wrapped some in foil and stuck in the little Hershey's kiss papers. We were in the seventh grade...shhhhh, don't tell! Heehehehe!!! My bad!
I so enjoy your take on events!!!
God bless ya and have a fantastic Friday!!!
Those ants have got to find another spa!!
The job interviewee....what a disaster. I "assume" you were not referriing to yourself.....That person would not be a great employee!
I love the Things I've Learned Thursday!!!
A fire station by your home? So jealous!!!! I would enjoy that view every single day!
Who brings their family to an interview? Strange!
I haven't used Oovoo but I do Skype and love seeing my family when I talk to them. It's one of the few times I don't curse "modern technology".
Hope your weekend is good and the ants "leave the building".
xo jj
I cannot imagine being married 8 times or even wanting too! :-)
Hope you have a lovely weekend!
Blessings,
Jill
Liz explained herself saying that she didn't have "affairs", she married when she was in love. I have to say, if half of these "stars" today did that, we wouldn't think twice of Liz's marriages.
And I will agree with the hair thing. Although that's only happened to me about twice in my life, both were good days:)
I am learning more and more what it means to be patient.... God changes ones character in amazing ways as they patiently learn to wait
Thanks for sharing!

I laughed out loud about the dog treats!
Thank You!
