7 random facts about yours truly...

Jules thought me worthy of this little award and tagged me a couple of days ago to do a post on 7 random facts about myself..... took me a couple of days... but finally.... here we go
And thanks Jules!


fact #1
I still love "crazy" rock music and like it very loud. (I make sure the car windows are closed...so people don't think I've lost it and call 911 ;)

fact #2
I love a sip of Jack every now and then and straight out of the bottle :0

fact #3
I never fill up on gas till the gas tank is screaming ....." I'm empty"

fact #4

Every time I smell popcorn.... I just must have it (yup every trip to Target..results in me walking out with a bag :)

fact #5
I absolutely can not stand potpourri or scented candles (the smells give me a headache ...huh)

fact #6
I must, must, must have a piece of chocolate every day, even if it's a very small piece...mmmm

fact #7
When I roast a whole chicken... I give all the meat to the family and keep the carcass to myself... love picking through the bones

And there you have it... sorry no pictures to go with the story today.... had a very long day and am just too pooped.... but I really wanted to play along.
Thanks again Jules.

And "Inner Rambling of a Mid Life Mama".... tag you're it!

love and peace

  1. I love fact #2 and #6. That was me with the chocolate and the sip of whiskey or tequila. No more....at least not but once in a while.

    But both of those made me smile. So I thank you for your honesty.

    Peace

  2. Ohh, chocolate, I love chocolate...do you like dark too? I think white is a waste.

    I read your previous (a few words..) post and was so touched. Count me in as a new follower. Too tired to be coherent tonight, but will check back tomorrow. Deb

  4. Oh, Mari, too cute. You are always so much fun. We do share some similarities, only with slight quirks. I am more Motown than rock, never acquired a taste for liquor (by the time it tastes good to me it has an umbrella in it and about 500 calories...which I would prefer to ingest via mashed potatoes or pasta...and, besides, with only 70% of one kidney left, now wouldn't be a good time to start liking the stuff!), am originally from the Midwest where we were taught to keep the gas tank at half lest the stuff starts to freeze in the below zero temps, I love popcorn, I cannot handle sweet or flowery scents and the only perfume I can wear is one that I cannot smell on me (with three daughters, I used to get headaches every morning as they readied themselves for their day), I love chocolate by do not have your obvious will power to just let it melt in my mouth (except Hershey Kisses), and I am a nut for bones. When we have steaks or chops or chicken, I let my husband have most of the meat and I take all the bones.

    I do hope your reference to it being a long day is being remedied as we "speak" and that the day before you is bright, new, and filled with many moments of joy, laughter, and love. The practical and emotional roller coaster that is a cancer journey may have twists, turns and scary moments, but there is always the precious privilege of moments shared in each new day.

    Be blessed, my friend.

  6. Waaaah, so funny! Love you having a sip of Jack straight out of the bottle when you fancy it. Good for you! But SHUDDER at the gas on empty 'thing', I hate it when I do that. Twice in the last month the car computer has gone from '20 miles to go' to '----- miles to go'. i felt so sick...

  7. Sue.. I like me some Motown too, any music actually...except rap... I just can't handle that... oh and I'm glad I'm not the only one that attacks bones :)
    Jane..I feel for you living above the theatre...can't imagine having the popcorn smell all the time...oh boy :)

  9. Hello - this is totally my list!
    Except maybe the popcorn thing. I love it, but not EVERY time.
    Other than that, loud rock - check - straight up Jack - check check - potporri etc - hate - filling up with gas - always leave it too late - chocolate - every.single.day - chicken - bring on the bones!
    Funny :)
