8 things that are interesting facts about me. HMMMMMM...... I am not sure I can think of 8.But here goes.
1) I do not like my food seasoned, just salt and pepper... chips, chips, crackers, cheese, oh yeah,,,, I do not like stringy cheese, yuk.... Always have the pizza run through twice actually you get more cause no one wants to eat burnt pizza
2) I loved to go to Marsha's to eat. She makes the best sausage casserole and she demonstrated what a wife and mother should look like. It was important to me that the three amigos have this role model in their life at an early age. I believed home cooking was the next Bob Evans or the Thanksgiving meal you could purchase at Foodtown. Doing laundry was teaching them how to use the washer and dryer. Ironing was supervising them so they didn't get burned. Taking care of them when they were sick was to send them to school so the nurse could have them lay down, take their temperature and then call me to come pick them up.
3) I secretly wish for a housekeeper and cook, can be one person who can multi task or two people who shine in each category. I would like to have a gardner or just someone to mow and trim my yard. The problem with being single and old is you need someone to put your lightbulbs in.
4) I love mystery shows, but most of all I love HGTV ( i think that is right) I would love a house filled with antiques. A big house. Hence the need for number 3
5) I would like to be independently wealthy, I would love to go whenever I wanted to and buy things I like without the guilt. Not all the time but now and then. I wish I could spend the next few years visiting with my grandchildren. I am really getting tired of working.
6) I love all of the things that Martha Stewart demonstrates, mostly I envy her dishes and crocks. I have tried to imitate some things and that is exactly what it looks like.
7) I love to read, Max Lucado is one of my favorites. One day I would like to write a book. My title would be Walk in My Shoes if You Can Find a Pair.
8) I used to be an electrical draftsman, so if your phone doesn't work just right, oops
Whew that was taxing, I am sure there is more but no sense boring anyone.

If you ever decide to quit your job and take on watching the boys full time maybe I can find you a great little apartment (maybe I can cut you a deal) and live the simple life. Social Security is just around the corner...
Great post and don't take me wrong...I love your cooking too but I don't think I can get very far making pork chops with fried potatoes and creamed peas as the only menu item. Of course the swedish brownies would be great hit.
Oh yea, I would love to have a swedish brownie right now!! It is 3 am and Keever woke me up suffering from heartburn That is what he gets eating a steak dinner and then going to the movies and eating a whole bag of popcorn on top of it. Us old people can't do things like that anymore :) But it was fun when we were doing it! What did we do before laptops and we can have our computer with us at all times. Your post was great and I understand completly where you are coming from, Thanks for all the compliments on my cooking, I am making that great sausage casserole this week on vacation for the family as it is one of their favorites. I love to cook as long as someone is there to wash up after me. Well, have a great week and I will talk to you soon!
Love ya,
Marsha
Yippee! Sausage Casserole...my favorite...NOT! Why does what Jason likes always win??? Just kidding, I told you it was okay to make it. I'll suffer as I'm the only one in the fam that doesn't like it. Carolyn, good post. I enjoyed it very much and laughed several times. That was the goal. :)
I loved the comment about making your kids go to school and have the nurse take care of them! We are having a suprise 59th bday party for my mom in a few weeks and my siblings and I made a list of things that she taught us...one of them is..If your feeling sick, "have some tea and toast and see how you feel, if your still sick, try a shower,if your still sick, try going for a 1/2 day, if your still sick, go to school,promptly run out of 1st hour, puke and call mom demanding"COME GET ME! I told you I was sick!" My mom was a nurse so you literally had to be puking up a lung to miss school! Sorry for the long post, loved the list!

Susan...your mom and my mom must have been separated at birth. What my mom didn't mention is...if we were sick and not throwing up, she would make us go to school and if threw up while there then she would be called...that didn't mean she would pick us up, it meant we were going to be camping out in the nurse's station all day. If we threw up BEFORE school...she took it as a sign that the sickness was exiting our system and would send us with the "now that you threw up ...don't you feel better?"
Susan, if they stayed home I would have had to hire babysitter and even though they were pretty good kids I had to find the cash. I figured I had paid the schools with my tax money and they had degrees where could you find better sitters. Plus they are better people from having had this wonderful unscientific upbringing.
I should mention that I frequently forgot to pick them up from school. But years of therapy have made them less resentful.
right kids?
You always bring back memories with your blog. You do write really well. I love reading all the blogs. I don't think my life is that interesting when I look back. But I want you all to keep writing. And some day make your dream come true, OK? Love, MOM
