You Like Me! You Really Like Me!

Thank you, everyone who decided that I deserve this lovely award. I am grateful and so touched. I am also a little... Flummoxed. Stylish? I? Not at present. :P

Maybe one day.

I have thanked the lovely ladies who gave this award to me in their comments. And I am lazy, sick and whiny so I am not going to link. *neener*

I am to share seven things about myself that I might not have, before. Hmmm... Let's see...

1. I can't stand to wear anything tight or up high around my neck. Turtlenecks freak me out, I don't even like crewnecks, I am constantly tugging at them. Choker necklaces are a no-go, don't even think about putting your fingers or hands around my neck, for any reason.

2. If I lived in a vital, urban area, I wouldn't bother to own a car. Walking and public transportation would work just fine for me. I could always rent a car for the occasions I needed one.

3. That brings me to the fact that I can't stand living in the boonies or small towns. Even Prescott is too small, "countrified" in my not so humble opinion. I am a city girl, through and through. And I would give my bottom dollar to live in a large city, again.

4. Rude behaviour is my biggest pet peeve. When did it become so terribly unfashionable to be polite and civilized, I ask you?

5. I like to iron. Set up a board, give me a good iron, plenty of water for steam, some spray starch, a pile of wrinkled garments and a TV to watch and I will have a ball.

6. I think that soup is one of the finest foods on the planet.

7. I think that the platform shoes that are oh-so-fashionable, right now are oh-so-ugly. What is so fabulous about heavy, clunky, ungainly shoes with dangerously high heels? I don't get it.

I am supposed to pas this along to fifteen people. But you are all beating me to it. So, I am going to take the easy way out, (remember, I am sick and whiny!) and give this to everyone who didn't receive it, directly. I think that you are all stylish, fabulous, gorgeous, smart, funny. And did I mention fabulous? And I am tickled to death to have the opportunity to read your blogs and get to know you.

Okay, I have to run. I need to get my husband's uniforms out of the dryer and I have to pee. Water, you know. ;)

Later, gators.

Thank you, Karen!

Karen at Sunshine's Heart bestowed upon me this award. Thank you so much, Karen. I am touched and honoured. <3 <3

I uploaded it to my award slideshow and it should be visible, soon. :D

This award has been making the rounds, big time and I don't know exactly who to give it to, so I am going to give it to everyone who reads me who has yet to be tagged to receive it. This is not a cop out or cheating, it is a real, open giving of this award because I truly feel that you are all sweet friends. So, please, snag this and post it in your blog and tell us all ten things you like. :D

Thank you, Midori!

Midori tagged me for an award and I am grateful. Thank you so much! <3<3

I need to share ten things about me, then tag a few people to receive this. 

Ten things about me:

I love Autumn. I mean seriously love it. If there were a place on Earth where it was Autumn all the time, I would be there. lol

I love to swim but I haven't been in a pool since the mid eighties.

I used to dream that I could fly. After I got involved with my husband, those dreams stopped. 

I can feel shifts in seasons and weather.

I know when my mother is going to call me. I start thinking about her like crazy and when the phone rings, I know that it is she.

I am a serious handbag ho and my one Dooney is my pride and joy. It's not really a status thing, with me. I just love really nice bags. If a bag is beautiful, made well and of good materials, I will covet it, "brand" or not. And the only thing that prevents me from having a closet full of them is my pathetically tight budget. lol

I am addicted to Ice Road Truckers on the History channel.

I think that Family Feud is about the most stupid waste of time bullshit TV show... EVAH!!!!!

I hate Westerns with a driving passion that can't be believed.

I think that coffee is the nectar of the gods. 

I am passing this along to:

Katie J of Katie J is On Her Way.

Chris Of A Deliberate Life.

Kyoko Cake of Like a Fat Kid Likes Cake

Franny G from My Bumpy Middle Aged Long Hair Journey.

And

Sherry at Of Mice and Men and Cabbages and Kings.

Seriously, I could go on and on, because I think that you are all Sugar Dolls. *Muah*

Thank you, Sherry!

I just caught up with your blog and I saw this and I am so touched and thankful that you wanted to give this to me. :D

I'll get to the sharing of ten things, soon. I have to run, right now.

But... Squeee!

Thank You!

Another hot, humid day. Blech! I am so over Summer, now. I am ready for Autumn. I enjoy a new season for a little while, then I am ready for it to change. Except for Autumn. It is my favourite season and could last half the year, as far as I am concerned. Summer is fun until it gets nasty hot and humid. We are there now and it makes me long for cooler days, crisp nights, changing leaves.

I am feeling a little better and it is time to hit the trail. I took an Aleve today and wow! That stuff made me feel much more comfortable. Naproxin Sodium is especially effective for joint pain and discomfort and I don't know why I didn't try it a long time ago.

Shit! I just broke my headband. It was a cheap-aloo bit of plastic nonsense but I wore it a lot and now it is trash. *sigh* You get what you pay for.
