This Morning
Well, I thought I'd write about something important this morning, but things just flew right on out of my head. There seems to be a craze of sharing 100 things about yourself on the net. I think I might give it a stab, not feeling terribly original this morning. Got kicked out of bed too early by, Dave, Owen and the 23 pound cat. Had to finish my sleepy-time on the futon. sigh...

17. Growing up, when we took a family photo, we would call it Charlie's Harem, because my parents had only girls.

77. Sometimes I wish that I had magical powers to make things happen. Wishful thinking...
78. I love to hear Owen sing along with his VeggieTales in the car.
79. I am proud for David that he's going back to school to get a degree in English. I hope this time, this course of study will make him happy. Lord knows Electronics Technology didn't do it... pays the bills for now.

93. Rainbows still excite me.
94. I love to use the English language descriptively.
95. The most beautiful sight in nature to me is a dark grey sky with trees that are lit from behind where I am standing, so that it looks like the green leaves are lit from within. The grey and green contrast is breath taking. Does that make sense???
96. I am extremely attracted to men with dark hair, dark eyes and fair skin with some facial hair. mmmm. Tasty...
97. I married a blonde haired, blue eyed German! Who'd a thunk it? He's tasty too.... ;-)
98. I enjoy all aspects of my husband and like men in general. I get along better with men than I do women.
99. It doesn't bother me that men have sex on the brain 96-98.5% of the time. It's just the way they are wired.
100. Here we are at a hundred. I'd like to say that just because a woman may be a "bigger girl", it doesn't mean that she can't have sex appeal. Not trashy, sexy. It's mostly a mental attitude anyway.
So there it is. I hope that I didn't bore you. It's taken a while, what with the laundry breaks and such. Now I will go take a shower and prepare for the day with the fam. Love to you all! m.

You actually like teenagers? I'm afraid I regard them as semi house trained polecats.
I would like to see a ghost. My mother and other members of my family have seen them.
Yep, I do. For some strange reason unbeknownst to me, I get teenagers and they like me.
It's not quite as much fun seeing a ghost as you might think. I do think the ability runs in families. If you open your mind or don't dismiss the shadow that just ducked around the corner, then you'll probably see a ghost.
There is one in my hometown that shows himself to me every once in a while. He's a nice old black man. Like from the 1940's or '50's. He's always a t the same street corner wearing the same outfit. He's there and then he's gone. He's not mean or scary. I think he's just stuck. Dave saw him too once.
more on the ghosts. While I've never seen any, and the thought of my mother hanging around during...you know....weirds me out, I'm really interested in the whole thing....I know I can "feel" if there is energy in a house, but I've never seen anything...and my feelings could be my own head...
PLEASEPLEASE a post on the ghosts....
and I found my 100 so FUCKING HARD.....I don't know why I thought I'd do it...
28. I hear great things about this!
29. omg me too wish my husband would understand it!
34. I have about 12 loads waiting to be done and I am just sick over it!
52. I grew up in a huanted house and saw many ghosts!
Good List! I learned all kinds of new things!!
Thanks for all the kind comments and your patience getting through that list. It took me forever to do it, but in the end I'm glad that I did.
I will probably post about the whole "Ghost Thing" later this week. Love to you all! m.
I rather enjoyed that mhn... I always find those interesting.
I have a ghost in my house. I wrote about it ages ago when I was under "spaces."
Thanks April. I'll have to look at it. Is it on your blog in the archives? I'm gonna look right now. :-)
No...when I started blogging I was using MSN spaces. I wrote about it on that page. I'll try to find the link. I never go there any more.

This was my original site MHN....My haunting is posted there.
Funny mhn..I too was always attracted to men with dark hair and eyes...yet I married a blonde with green eyes! :O)
I too have been haunted, I think I'll post about it soon. It was frightening for 2 1/2 years. I wasn't the only one who experienced it, when I moved it stopped. some think it's madness, some think it was noisy neighbours, but I know otherwise as do those who've seen.
I love these 100 things about me, but I've afraid of trying, not enough for me to tell I'm afraid.
Can't wait to hear you sing!
Pink.
Dear oh dear.
I'll get back to you on the rest.
Pink!
As you saw on the list, I knew you'd have an issue with that one.
I look forward to your recovery and hear what you think about the rest.
Don't forget our current house has had visitors. Remember that night the lamp went on at around midnight? Freaky deaky, man...
Oh yeah, i'll be telling that one. And of the "shadows" that travel into owen's room and why we say the prayer over him nightly that we do.
Tammy~
Isn't it funny how it works out that way?
