Do you find it relatively easy to fall asleep at night? Yes, I usually fall asleep as soon as the lights are out, unless I am in a terrible state of anxiety.
Do you remember your dreams? Most of the time I do. There are a lot of times I will remember it days later. I wish I would write down my dreams the minute I wake up and recall them because within two minutes they vanish
If you can’t sleep, do you watch TV, read or listen to music in the hope you will nod off? I usually play a game on my phone until I fall back asleep
Can you literally sleep anywhere (chair, sofa, bus, train, flight, etc)? Yup! Desk at school, beach, nail salon, during a haircut…Anywhere I can sit and not have to do something physically active.
Gratitude: I’m thankful that I have more food in my house than I know what to do with it. I see these commercial for kids who are starving and think , how does that happen?
What’s one thing you’d really like to do every week, but feel like you just don’t have the time to make it fit in your schedule? I would like to go to museums. Pick a new one each week and spend the whole day there.
What is the best way to cook an egg, and what is your favourite egg dish? The best way to cook an egg is over medium. My favorite egg dish changes. One favorite is a fried egg on a bagel with a slice of Kraft American Cheese (Welfare Cheese).
What makes for a good listener, and are you one, or do you only hear people as noise? A good listener knows when to keep their mouth shut and not interject. Also, a good listener can feel comfortable NOT hearing their own voice.
How well can you control your emotions, and is it hard to keep them in check with moments and times when you feel passionate or angry with others or situations? I can control my emotions pretty well in that I don’t over-react or make a scene. The most I do is cry and that could be as simple as a tear rolling down my face.
Is it necessary for you to be remembered by others for your contribution to life? I would like to be remembered for things I create but not just for the daily stuff I do just because I am caring and sensitive,
I know this is an old complaint but I still can’t stand it..
I can’t stand it when people are talking on their phones in a store. I get it if you want to get the name of the brand your partner wanted or maybe you found something on Clearance your husband might love,,,
But I’m talking about “Well, I was going to make dinner for just me and Brad but his dad callled…Yeah I know…What?! Are you kidding me? Oh, well this is how I would’ve handled it”
I really don’t want to hear your plans or you bad mouthing your best friends’ brother’s wife’s second born son.
When I was in high school I had a boyfriend who said he liked country music and I said that I did not because it sounded like “suicide music”. I don’t think that was my name for it, probably something I heard. Anyhow, what I thought of country music was whining women about the guy who did them wrong, yada yada yada. He introduced me to Hank Williams and Alabama, to name just a couple favorites. Well, after this I was open to hearing more country music.
In college, I worked in Disney World for a semester on the college program. There was a bar, I think closer to Cocoa Beach than Lake Buena Vista, called Rodeo. I only went once or twice but I wanted so badly to learn line dancing. I never really did.
Now I do still listen to country, but mixed in with other stuff. After losing my first husband I listened to a song every day on the way to and on the way home from work that helped me cope.
Lyrics
I got rice cooking in the microwave Got a three day beard I don’t plan to shave And it’s a goofy thing but I just gotta say, hey I’ma doing alright
Yeah, I think I’ll make me some home-made soup I’m feeling pretty good and that’s the truth It’s neither drink nor drug induced, no I’m just doing alright
And it’s a great day to be alive I know the sun’s still shining When I close my eyes There’s some hard times in the neighborhood But why can’t every day be just this good Ah, yeah
It’s been fifteen years since I left home I said good luck to every seed I’d sown Gave it my best and then I left it alone I hope they’re doing alright
Now I look in the mirror and what do I see A lone wolf there staring back at me Long in the tooth but harmless as can be Lord, I guess he’s doin’ alright
And it’s a great day to be alive I know the sun’s still shining When I close my eyes There’s some hard times in the neighborhood But why can’t every day be just this good
Sometimes it’s lonely, sometimes it’s only me And the shadows that fill this room Sometimes I’m falling, desperately calling Howling at the moon, ah-ooh, ah-ooh Yeah-yeah, oh-oh
Well, I might go get me a new tattoo Or take my old Harley for a three day cruise Might even grow me a Fu Manchu
And it’s a great day to be alive I know the sun’s still shining When I close my eyes There’s some hard times in the neighborhood But why can’t every day be just this good
It’s a great day to be alive I know the sun’s still shining When I close my eyes There’s some hard times in the neighborhood But why can’t every day be just this good, ah-ooh, oh yeah-yeah
Then as the days went on and I heard other tunes by other artists this song by Marin Morris became sort of my anthem. She isn’t necessarily considered full country but she fits in there.
Lyrics
I’ve cussed on a Sunday I’ve cheated and I’ve lied I’ve fallen down from grace A few too many times But I find holy redemption When I put this car in drive Roll the windows down and turn up the dial
Can I get a hallelujah Can I get an amen Feels like the Holy Ghost running through ya When I play the highway FM I find my soul revival Singing every single verse Yeah I guess that’s my church
When Hank brings the sermon And Cash leads the choir It gets my cold cold heart burning Hotter than a ring of fire When this wonderful world gets heavy And I need to find my escape I just keep the wheels rolling, radio scrolling ‘Til my sins wash away
Can I get a hallelujah Can I get an amen Feels like the Holy Ghost running through ya When I play the highway FM I find my soul revival Singing every single verse Yeah I guess that’s my church
Can I get a hallelujah Can I get an amen Feels like the Holy Ghost running through ya When I play the highway FM I find my soul revival Singing every single verse Yeah I guess that’s my church
Hey, can I get a hallelujah Can I get an amen Feels like the Holy Ghost running through ya When I play the highway FM I find my soul revival Singing every single verse Yeah I guess that’s my church Yeah I guess that’s my church Yeah I guess that’s my church
Nearly $300 billion in products are returned to Amazon every year. You won’t believe how they are handled…
It’s the best time of year to shop $29.99 Amazon Electronic Pallets only sell 2 weeks out of the year, if you miss out, you’ll have to wait another year
I want to buy one just for the surprise factor but then what? I guess you can try to resell it and make money. Ugh, sounds like a lot of hassle.
So, one of my last posts I had the pictures of a four story miniature with a pool on the side, sort of ocean-side. These are the photos I sent to the buyer as a “sneak peek” into the production. This obviously is the kitchen. I would say it is about 5 inches x 5 inches.

I never was a girl for the Barbie pink Just another thing that didn’t feel right Back then the shades of pink made my heart sink Without understanding the reasons why A colour can bring the heart to such plight With only confusion my tears to cry
All I ever wanted was shades of blue To echo feelings that lived inside me Even then it was something I just knew I didn’t want dolls or the other girl toys All of that just was not how it should be When I should have been just one of the boys
I never was a girl for the Barbie pink All I ever wanted was shades of blue
