52. On a day-to-day basis, especially in winter, I am a homebody, in spirit if not in the flesh.
53. Even so, when we go on vacation I am never ready to come home.
54. I hate it when people getting on an elevator, actually enter the elevator before other people can exit, thereby making the exiting much more awkward and physical.
55. However, I was recently mortified to catch myself distractedly doing just that. Wounded by disdainful, exit glares, the same ones that I have myself fired many a time, I wanted to say, " I didn't mean to! Really! I'm one of you! " But I just hung my head in shame.
56. I am passionate about homeschooling my daughters.
57. That said, most of the time I don't even come close to maximizing the potential of educating them at home.
58. I have a fondness for pink grapefruit Jelly Bellies.
59. I am physically unable to leave a blog post unchanged after I have published it. I'm always going back and tweaking words.
60. I once had a completely infatuous relationship with a married man who was older than my father.
61. I was 5 at the time, and had not yet been made aware of love's boundaries. Also, it was one-sided.
62. Argumentative by nature, I will often play devil's advocate just to keep things interesting.
63. However, when I truly, strongly disagree with someone, I'm more likely to remain silent for fear of losing my temper. Or sounding stupid.
64. I love camping with my family.
65. But due to busy schedules, we really don't get to camp that much.
66. Every time I see one of those commercials advertising a particular medication for men, I wonder about the actors.........do they get recognized in public? Are they the laughingstock of neighborhood barbecues? How much are they getting paid and is it really a fair price for self-respect?
67. I have the astounding ability to blog while mountains of clean laundry waiting to be folded quietly overtake my home.
68. Like right now.
69. I don't understand road rage. Road annoyance, sure, but rage?? Is it really worth it?
70. When I had fewer kids and more time, one of my favorite things to do was to put on some Eagles music and try singing the different harmony parts.
71. About fifteen years ago, I dreamed I was onstage singing back up for Don Henley. I was wearing jeans and an old, soft, flannel shirt. He was singing "Heart of the Matter" and in the chorus I would "ooooooh" and belt out "forgiveness...... forgiveness".
72. To this day, it is the best dream I ever had.
73. I'm a global thinker, which is a trendy way of saying I'm terrible with details.
74. The smell of coconut oil is an aphrodisiac for me.... but only if it's coming from my husband's sunscreen.
75. My written grammar, weak as it is, completely eclipses my spoken grammar. Honestly, hearing me speak, one might wonder if I'd been raised by the Clampetts.

You are one of the funniest people I have met through blogging. This one has got to be my Friday Favorite this week!
Sweet, sweet Kathy,
I really don't deserve you. If my blog is a Waylon Jennings song, you are my Good-Hearted Woman, there for me, believing in me, encouraging me with your comments(growing weepy now)...and just when I think you can't possibly have any more to give, you go and send me.... (chokes back sob)
blog traffic! I'll pay you back someday girl. (sniffs and wipes tears away resolutely). I don't when or how, but so help me I will!
I still think you should be a Children's book writer. I do believe you have the talent. Besides, children need good story lines these days, and I believe you could be that writer.
Sweet, sweet Teddy,
I really don't deserve you. If my blog is a Waylon Jennings song, you are my, um... Supportive Brother-in-Law Who Reads Me More Faithfully Than My Mother. Hmm, that doesn't sound right. Thank you so much, but the only stories I care about writing are the ones we're living every day, and I'm pretty selective about writing those.
We love camping too, but it's so hard to find the time and/or energy to do it. The last time was summer before last, and we bought three new tents and some air mattresses. Then the oldest one left one out in the back yard and it got ruined, so now we're on the hunt for another.
Or maybe, we'll just rent a cabin, lol.
I wasn't really up front about this but we kind of cheat when we camp. We have a pop-up camper. It's not like real camping I know, but this way, when we camp Momma's happy, and you know what they say...
Hi
Came here from kathys blog.
I used too have a crush on an older man too!!!I was 19 and he was 35!
Crazy youth!
Thanks for stopping by. I also developed a crush on older man when I was 16 and he was 23. We got married when I was 18 and he was 25 :)
Enjoyed your post! I have find some of your things very familiar! ha I have piles of dirty laundry sitting and waiting! Thanks for the laughter this morning.
I'm pretty good at getting the dirty clothes into the washer and dryer. I just don't want to take the time to fold them when they're dry. Speaking of which I'm off to fold right now before I lose a child in the avalanche of whites on the playroom floor :)
Hi, Nina! Kathy sent me over... and I'm glad she did. Isn't it scary when you read a post and think... I could have written that! Well, except for the camping, singing, homeschooling, and pink grapefruit Jelly Bellies. But everything else! I always re-post and re-post my posts. I always wonder why people tell me they read my blog, but don't comment... so to remedy that... I ASKED them through a give away (aka FREEBIE). Feel free to stop by and give a comment about why you don't always leave comments, too. It's enlightening to me! BTW did I tell you that you're funny?
Kathy sent me over too :) Your list brought a smile to my face! Here is a "hi" comment for you :) Have a good day!
Yeah, it would be a little embarrassing to be in a rogaine commercial . . . .
LOL - Rogaine... uh yeah, thats the one I was talking about ;)
