Simple Pleasures

We just bought a new mattress.  Our old one had become lumpy and rippled.  (There is a reason why mattress stores store their mattresses horizontal).  Know what the best part of having it is?  Lying on the old one, that is now outside under gorgeous fall trees, with my boys.

Confessions

I really like Air Supply.  And Journey.  I'm all out of love!  I can't live without you!

I hate listening to people chew.

I'm not a night person.  Or a morning.  I'm a mid day for about 2 hours person.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE squirrels.  I can't figure out why when I tell someone this they feel the need to tell me ways to get rid of them.  Don't want to.  They destroyed my bird feeder.  I don't care.

Giggly, squeaky girls make me nuts.

When you're speaking in public you do need to use a microphone.  You think you can talk loud but you can't.  At least not for the whole time you're speaking.  This was also a pet peeve of my hearing impaired Father.  I think I got it from him.

I love Greek food.  I think I should have been born Greek.

One of the most beautiful things I've seen is watching the wind blow around a corn field from a high deck.  Amazingly peaceful.

I used to sing at the top of my lungs.  That stopped at about 12.

I once ran into a parked car.  When I say me, I mean me.  Who can't navigate around a parked car when they're traveling no more then 4 mph?

I used to be really good at spelling.  Spell check ruined that.  I also really liked diagramming sentences in Jr. High.  Now I'm lucky to know a verb from an adverb.  Actually, I no longer have a clue what the difference is.  One's better at math??

Bedtime is my favorite time of day.

Good night!

Is It Wrong To Be Proud?

I am not the most crafty person in the world.  I'm not like my friend Kelly who can think up patterns in her head.  She does some amazing stuff.  Click here to see her website.  (Btw, she's the hot model wearing the hat).  But, when Aaron said he wanted to be a bat I thought I could handle the challenge.  It took me about 3 times as long as I thought it would.  Mostly, because Aaron was camping with his Dad so I really had to think things out to make sure it fit.  When it was done I was rather proud of myself.  Is that wrong?

 This year I HAD to take advantage of Peter's great hair.  I'll admit I was giggling as I gelled his hair.  Oh how I wish I had his thick, straight hair!

 You don't get the full effect of his costume without the comb in his back pocket.  He's one lovable tough guy!
