The new drug I reported about on 4/4, totally works. I was more than happy to test it for everyone, so you could feel safer using it. And, it is amazing! I am clear headed, and feeling rested and relaxed! Wow! What if I had bought 2 pairs? Here they are…$19.99 at Goody’s…Union Bay Brand.

More crazies coming out of the woodwork. Lynne in GA. confesses to the ‘list crazies’, too. I feel better now, don’t you, Crazy Jean?

The builders finished pouring the foundation on the house. And it has rained ever since! Come on now, weather people, lets get some sunshine down here in the ‘sunny south’.

Mom has had a rough week. It seems she picked up a stomach virus this week(probably when we spent the day in the ER last week). So, she has been battling that, as well as recovering from her surgery and bronchitis. But yesterday she said she was feeling stronger. Mom is not one who likes to lounge around and take it easy…which is what she is having to do. Hang in, Mom. Every day is one step closer to recovery! Then we’ll celebrate! I love you!
Pop, who is 82, has been treating a very bad burn on his leg. He got it riding his dirt bike in the woods…when he fell…and the motorcycle fell on top of him! And you wonder where I got the ‘CRAZY’ DNA? He didn’t tell us about it for a while, but when he showed it to me, I was appalled. Friends, he had been walking around with a third degree burn on his leg for over a week! About the size of a credit card. I insisted he go to the Dr. and he did and they sent him to another Dr. who thought they may have to do skin grafts! But, thank God, it is healing, and will not require the grafts. Pop, be careful…I love you!

I recieved this award this week from my dear friend, Kat. How sweet of you to think of me. Kat is one of my long-time blogging buddies and also a charter member in the “B” Club. She is just as precious in person as she is on her blog!

And, I choose to pass it on to:
Too Wonderful For Me
and
Scattered Fruits

I was tagged by Robin to list 15 random things about myself. Here goes:

1. Random is a good word to describe me. I am always starting one thing and before finishing, starting another…and another. If you look around my house you’ll see little piles of started and unfinished projects. That is why Donald has added a studio to our new house….a place to store my piles…and make new ones!

2. I love..LOVE … LOVE Diet Dr. Pepper! It’s the best! And I drink way tooooo many.

3. My favorite color combination is black and white! And just a touch of something bright for accent. I like it in clothes, in shoes, in art, in decorating, in everything!

4.I love rusty things…rusty anything! I think the color and shading is beautiful and unlike anything a painter can capture. I also love the verdigris patina that copper takes on. It is such a ‘natural’ process, and fun to watch. (Yes I know you can’t actually ‘watch’ it happen, but it’s neat to see it evolve over time.) I have actually bought things for my home and then put them outside for a few months to get some character!

5. I am very frightened of lightning. VERY! I do not like it! And I know it is from God and necessary in the grand scheme of things, but I just wish it would never happen around me! EVER!

6. I have a clock that is very difficult to set. So, I don’t. I just have to remember that it is right only during daylight savings time!

7. I have stacks of books that I have not read. I fully intended to at the time, but just haven’t yet. At least I will have something to put in our new library.

8. I do not like to sit in the back of the church. I usually sit on the 3rd or 4th row….if I get in there first from Sunday School. If Donald gets there first, we sit about 7 or 8 rows backs. He is 6’2″…I am 5’1″…..plus, I get very distracted if there is anything between me and the preacher…and I need to hear everything he is saying!

9. I love to make lists. And I love to cross things off of lists…if I don’t lose the list and have to make another one. Which sometimes happens…and when I find the first list, I can really confuse myself. Which is not a good thing…for someone who is easily confused. If I forget to put something on my to do list…and I do it anyway..I will write it on the list just so I can cross it off. My crazy friend Jean does this, too. So there is crazy in AL and PA.

10. I love listening to music by Beethoven. It speaks to my soul, and to my heart. The notes are like words I need to hear. Music is a beautiful thing!

11. My favorite scene from nature is a bare tree against a grey sky. It’s branches are like beautiful architecture.

12. I know these last 2 things make me sound like a much deeper thinker than I am. And I maybe could be a deeper thinker if I was not spending so much time looking for lists, and waiting for rust to happen!

13. On the days when I plan to run away from home, I call the airlines and check on the cost of a flight to Maui. I always change my mind before I give them my card number…but….one day………

14. I think sunflowers…the giant ones…are magnificent!

15. My sister likes to think she can boss me around…but she can only boss me around when I NEED to be bossed around. Like yesterday. Thanks, Sis.

WHEW! Now you know way more about me than you ever wanted to know, and I realize I’m just a more ‘off-center’ than I thought!
