A Weight Loss Friend Had Tagged Me
My online friend Iportion has tagged me. 5 weird or fun things about me. Hmmmm I’m thinking…I’m thinking.
1. I have my two favorite pillows. They are at least 20 years old. When I go on vacation…I take them with me…even on an airplane. They were cheap pillows I bought at Woolworth’s…2 for $5.00. I’ve looked and looked but can’t find this type of pillow anywhere. I guess I’m just going to have to keep mending them.
2. I love fishing but I’m such a big chicken. I can’t touch a worm or a fish. Yesterday when we went fishing, a fish brushed the side of my leg while it was on the hook and I almost jumped out of my skin. I’m sure they heard my scream in town. I’m not sure where this fear originated…but I just can’t get over it. ( I caught more fish than the 3 guys yesterday)
3. I’m a spur-of-the-moment kind of person. I’ll get mom in the car….and just take off. I love those kind of trips….never knowing where I’m going to end up.
4. At my age, I still like having snowball fights, making snow angels and building snowmen.
5. I love shopping. I have sacks and sacks of new clothes under my bed, stacked along side my dresser, hanging in 3 closets as well as the basement. I just keep wearing the same old things. I don’t want to wear something new until my old things are worn out so the sacks just keep piling up. I hope I break this habit soon…..I’m running out of space!!

Sometimes I have to make snow angels
I love shopping but I am always afaraid of over spending so I go to the store decide what I want one day and shop another
PS Put a nice outfit on. You are so worth it. You are a wonderful person.

I love snow… I hate that it doesn’t snow where i live, it is the most depressing thing to me.
I can’t touch fish either. When I was younger I was fishing on a pond at someone house. My grandfather was up at the house talking, I caught a fish, so I walked all the way around the pounds holding a fish on the hook. My grandfather took it off the hook and told me to go throw it in the water. I sooo did not want to touch it, I begged him to do it, but he wouldn’t. So I took the fish… YUCK…YUCK… YUCK.. I was walking back to the water and I tried to throw the fish, hoping it would be a win win situation.. It wasn’t.. it didn’t get to the water, and I tried to kick it in because I knew it was dying but I couldn’t bring myself to touch it… I felt so bad, when I finally got it in the water it was dead. I didn’t fish anymore that day… It was just too sad.
I still won’t touch fish… I hate cleaning out the aquarium, I scream like a little girl if a fish comes anywhere near me..

As a kid the first time I tried to take a fish off the hook by myself not only did I get poked by its sharp fin but the thing bit me….though the true horror came when I put the fishy back in the water and my sister pointed out the foam by the rocks and told me that my fish must have had rabies and that I would get it too….ahhh siblings gotta love em

I think I’ll give that type of shopping a try. I better leave my purse at home though. I’m weak…ohhh so weak.

It seems when people live where it snows, they don’t want it and when a people don’t have it, they want it. I’m looking forward to moving where there is less snow…hopefully next year.
I remember when my kids had an aquarium, I use to have to pay them a quarter to take the fish out when it came time to clean it.

Sisters…..you gotta love them. I had two sisters and no brothers. We were all born.within 22 months of each other. Growing up, one was always pulling something on the other.
