It is really so wonderful to be a part of this blogging community!

I have met so many terrific women who never cease to
amaze and inspire me.

Every new follower and every single comment makes me smile :-}

I think we all need the little motivation and encouragement
 that we get from each other....

the little nudge to keep trying, and the sweet comments to say "great job!"

on that note....now I can share with you 7 things you

definitely don't know because it's too embarrassing....

might not know about me....

 ~ ~*~ ~

1)  I don't like to shop for clothing....

I would much rather go to Lowe's or Home Depot....

and that is the reason I only own 2 pairs of jeans....scary I know.

2)  Regarding the "only 2 pairs of jeans..."

those get made into cut offs at the beginning of each summer
and become my gardening gear.......

3)  My hair "style" is a ponytail on most days....ok all days..

4)  I listen to talk radio roughly 4-5 hours a day...

(until the kids get in the car and/or come home and begin to protest) and
watch less than 1/2 hour of TV a day and rarely
use the computer (I know, I know.. the computer thing was an outright LIE! :) ) 

5)  I tore out all the grass in our backyard.....

if you are wondering if I did this while my hubby was at work...........well....ok.......you're right...

  but he did come home at lunch to load up the sod cutter for me in the trailer....that thing is heavy....and in case

any of you are wondering if he ever runs out of  patience...... you are right... I'm on strict orders  not  to tear up, or tear out, or dismantle anything until further notice...

(you can look here for other mischief I've gotten into over the last 5 years...)

6)  I'm horrified at the site of spiders AND my dear sweet hubby

HAS had to come home from work to kill (sorry sometimes being put outdoors isn't good enough... ) one for me...

and I've had several neighbors and my daughters rescue me as well..pathetic I know.

7)  We watch Home Alone I and II all throughout the year

and

start listening to Christmas music the day after Halloween.

Well, there you have it.....now here's what I do:
