I'm supposed to tell 7 things about myself. Since I'm rather boring, you can go visit Sondra or Pioneer Woman during this post and come back for my next one.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
1. I have an aversion to swearing. Don't like hearing it or using it. I prefer my vernacular to be more intelligent, such as, "poo knuckles!"
2. When I sleep, I have to have a fan blowing on me and a blanket or the sheet up over my ears! That may have come from having 8 different babies crying in the night and trying to muffle the sound so I could sleep!
3. In the past, whenever I'd have the day off of work, I'd clean the house or finish a project. Now, I blog! (What a waste)
4. I'm a more patient grandmother than I was a mother. Perhaps it has something to do with not having the grandkids 24/7 for 19 (or so) years!
5. I enjoy laughing. I don't laugh alot, it takes something really funny to get me to laugh. (And usually it's just funny to me) I smile a lot and if something's funny then I'll say, with a chuckle, "Oh, that's funny!" But a really good belly laugh is an anomaly.
6. I love freckles! My hubs has freckles and so do all my children. I think it makes people look more youthful and fun! However, when I was a child, we lived next door to a family whose kids had red hair and freckles and they were MEAN! I'll blog about that one day.
I'll not think of those rotten, evil kids when I think of freckles.
7. I have a sweet tooth! I keep blaming my weight gain on an inactive thyroid while I'm eating the 3rd sugar cookie! I think I'll go have it checked anyway, just in case!
If you're still with me, I thank you and wish I could tell you about all the hair-raising adventures I've had, the dresses I've designed, the famous people I've tutored and the royalty in my blood, but I'd be lying!
I'm supposed to pass this on to 7 people, but, I won't. I'd love to learn more about each of you, so I will pass this to everyone who wants to do it!
Thanks. Sondra, for thinking of me!
Loved learning about you! We are a lot alike...same on every one except I don't sleep with a fan on me...but my daughter does! LOL Too cool! Come say hi sometime :D
ReplyDeleteWow! I'm the same on all of them. I love sleeping with a fan while under a blanket, but unfortunately my husband hates it. I had a really great, uncontrollable laugh today and my children just stared at me not knowing what was so funny. I love those laughs. It feels so good.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the award. Hopefully I can come up with 7 things that I haven't already talked about on my blog since Sondra passed it to me too. It's so hard.
Loved reading more about you. I think if we hung out I would have you belly laughing.....if not....well, I'd hold you down and tickle you.
ReplyDeleteHope the thyroid test comes back abnormal so you have an excuse......I hope that everytime I get mine checked.
I think you are the cutest ever! Is that the secret to being a mom of 8? Sleeping under the covers with the fan on - I loved that!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun to get to know more about you and you definately are a beautiful person with a beautiful blog.
I do that same weird sleeping with the fan thing.
ReplyDeleteBTW, Camille told me you are nervous about coming to the Sassy GNO. You should come! You would have a blast, I'm sure there are plenty of women with gray hair who will be there. :)
Sorry Connie,
ReplyDeleteno fans, freckles, or sweets in China. You still want to come.
But we will have lots to laugh about.
ReplyDeletepoo knuckles isnt a swear word? Oh thank goodness! I'll have to use it more often. That and "shoot a pickle". :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVED this post!! I can feel your personality right through my monitor!!
ReplyDeleteSo CUTE!!
Thanks for sharing!! :-)
I know you may not like to share things about you.. but I LOVE it.
ReplyDeleteIt's the quirky things that we all do that "bind" us together right?
I have many of the same "things" you do.. even the fan.. and the blankets.. ha-ha..
Your blog is fun.. and apparently lots of others think so too! :)
Wow, we have so much in common, except I'm not a grandma yet and I don't sleep with a fan. I do blame everything on a slow functioning thyroid though!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the well deserved award!
If you need a good laugh. Watch "Old Dogs" - it was silly old humor. My husband laughed so hard he had tears!
ReplyDeleteFun to hear about your sleeping habits. And your aversion to swearing... I will try and get better.
ReplyDeleteI am a freckle fan. :)
Oh how funny, I finally was able to stop the fan thing! But I bet someday it will come back! ;)
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about swearing, am definitely a more patient grandmother, have a sweet tooth, and love to laugh.
ReplyDeleteYou definitely deserve the award.
Hope you have a great day.
Connie, you forgot your unique ability to juggle - you are always doing 20 things at once and with a smile. You always have time to visit with a friend and in the midst of adversity you find the silver lining! Leaps tall buildings comes to mind. You’re great! Congratulations on the blogging award!
ReplyDelete:-D
cute. it's fun getting to learn more about my blogging buddies. thanks!
ReplyDeleteI rarely laugh out loud either. I smile, and sometimes chuckle a little. I think if I learned to belly laugh more I would have better abs!
ReplyDeleteTauna gave me same award...it is on my new post.
ReplyDeletegood things to learn about you.
I always like finding out the nitty gritty.
Congrats on the award. Hopefully I can come up with 7 things that I haven't already talked about on my blog since Sondra passed it to me too. It's so hard.

ReplyDeleteI knew a couple of really mean Red Heads my self growing up.
