An Award & Other Ramblings

Good morning all, I received this award some time back and I'm so very sorry to Linda for not posting it sooner, but here it is. This is from my crazy friend right up the road in Albuquerque, NM... http://lindaomasoldebaggsnstuftshirts.blogspot.com. Unfortunately, I'm to send it to others, but I ran out of people, so I guess the "Buck Stops Here," thank you Harry Truman!!! I'm supposed to tell you 10 things about me....hmm, I did this once before and I came up with some pretty funny stuff, but right now my brain is eaten up with Menopauseitis!!! Hold on, I feel a hot flash coming on.....I'M MELTING!!!

Ok, that's over with for now, so here are 10 things about me:

1. I think everyone knows this one, but I don't like snow, bleh!
2. My great-great grandmother was an Irish Jew....didn't even know such people existed!!
3. I was married almost 26 years to a toad, but met my Prince Charming finally.
4. Returned to school when I was 47, graduated with a B.A. in Art in 2005, at 53.
5. I'm an artist (oh duh, really???).
6. I have 3 kids, Joel, 33, Andria, 31 and Ian, 24. I didn't give birth to them, I folded!
7. Love my grandkids, Sean, 9, Ryan 7, Zach, 5 and Sammy 4 months
8. I have many acquaintances, but few really good friends...I'm very picky!!
9. I used to lie in the confessional...told the priest all sorts of stories till he recognized my voice.
10. Ok, this one is really personal, but I've had farting contests with my grandsons!!! My daughter put an end to that, the ol' poop!

There's the 10 things you most likely don't know about me, or maybe you do..I don't remember what I say in my posts from time to time. Oh well, as my ex father-in-law used to say when he'd repeat a story and we called it to his attention to the fact we had already heard it, he'd say" Goddammit, I like that story and I wanted to hear it again!!" He was a hoot!

Has anyone ever thought about those stupid made up words you have to type to get your blog comments published? Well, I have. I thought maybe someone, like a linguist, could come up with a language using those stupid pseudo words. I was listening to some guy the other day on the radio and he spoke nothing but Klingon to his son till the kid caught on at age 3 and refused to speak to his father in the Klingon language again!!! Ya think that guy needs a life???? Anyway, I thought the same could be done with these little letters that sometimes we have to decipher with a squint. So, do you think I need a life???? Just one of my crazy ramblings.

Well, hopefully will complete most of Christmas gifts today and get them ready for shipping or packaging to take with me to Austin. Right now I'm playing with glass paints...having a blast and the glass and paint are so forgiving...you make a mistake, you wipe it off and "all gone!" Well, my dear friends, it's off to my happy place and hopefully will take pics of the final projects and post them here. Peace out.

Another Award!!

Well, you can just tip me over with a feather. I received another great award from Pam at yoboro.blogspot.com. I just got this award last week, so I'm going to fudge this, forgive me Pam, and use my same answers from my previous blog...cutting and pasting!!

1. I have no fear of nonpoisonous snakes.
2. I took piano lessons from ages 7-10 and never went past the 1st grade music book. I was tired of the teacher telling me I wasn't practicing so I practiced for 3 hours every day and was expecting an A for the lesson...nah, it was the same ol' same ol', "Georgina, you're not practicing." Hence my musical days came to an abrupt end. I pretended I forgot a lesson and my mother put me in the corner for 4 hours as punishment....it was sooo worth it!!!
3. At girl scout camp I talked a girl into putting Kleenex into her bra for the dance that night. She did and as she was showing off her moves, the Kleenex fell out...still feel badly about that, but that's what she gets for being beautiful, talented and flat!
4. Used to spit into my sister's milk when she angered me....would tell her about it after she drank it...she had a very high gagging reflex. OK, my bad, however, I did confess this to the priest every time I did it....had to pray a mess of Hail Marys and Our Fathers!!!
5. Met my wonderful sweet man on the Internet.
6. Got stoned with my sister on a New Years Eve a few years ago...forgot I could giggle that much!!!
7. Returned to school in 1997 after my ex and I separated. Received my degree in 2005 in something really relevant, where jobs are a plenty, a B.A. in Art with a discipline in ceramics, "Would you like catsup with those fries?" Good ol' Liberal Arts!!! LOL

Ok, so I changed the last one but these are 7 little things that most people don't know about me or don't want to know about me. As for the 7 people I'm going to award this, well, I've run out of friends!! LOL So again, Pam, forgive me for not passing this on, but know how much I appreciate this and want all my blog friends to know that they are the absolute best! You're all winners as far as I'm concerned! Peace out.

An Award

Was given this award from my pal, Anne at http://elmilagrostudio.blogspot.com/

Anne is one hell of a lady. She's not only brilliant, but very talented...her art is amazing. Please go over and check out her blog that sometimes will send you to the bathroom because your bladder can only stand so much pressure while guffawing!!! I have some wonderful blogger friends and they are truly good friends. I wish we could all get together, maybe at Bernadette's little cabin on the river in Indianapolis and seriously party down. Would recommend everyone bring extra $$ for bail!!

So I'm very honoured to not only to receive this award but honoured to give to some of my wonderful blog friends, so here's the list:
