What does smart mean anyuway?

I must confess, this has been on my mind all night and it wasn't very nice to say!~ I guess I don't think that I am smarter than DH it's just that maybe I have a wee bit more common sense! He got home and sat at the counter crunching numbers for next years benefits package while I finished cooking supper. I just love it when we do this. We take turns cooking and the other one sits and talks to them.

I won't ever know if I could excel in physics or math because I have no desire to try! On the other hand DH worked at awful subjects like all of those weird organic/inorganic chemistry, and who knows what all. He is an excellent writer and I can take some lessons from him. I think my writing is about a 5th grade level, so no, I'm not smarter than a 5th grader!

I'm good at trivia, so I score points when I help him get some medical question right on his triva game and I'm pretty good at Bible questions too!

Everyone is different, I guess that's what makes life interesting. After hauling in a terribly heavy K & Company display rack from the garage, I planned to put the thing together. I must digress and wait for my man to get home and put it together for me. I feel certain that I could do it if I had the right tools and I were a little stronger BUT I can't find my hammer! For now, I'll not blame him for taking it and not putting it back as it is probably under the heap pile of stuff in my scrap room. Off to the shower, dress for the day and tackle this room. There's plenty for me to do without having that cabinet put together, although it would be more fun if I could organize it rather than just delegate items to a bin that will go in it once it's together!

Off to the shower!

My random things...



1. I took my first commercial airline flight alone with my little sister when I was in the sixth grade. I've been flying alone and with others ever since. It's one of my favorite things to do.

2. I wish Walt Disney had never built Disney World!

3. Being over 50 isn't bad at all!

4. I drive my car fast when my husband isn't in the car with me.

5. I was made in Germany.

6. I like my new friends better than my old friends.

7. Secretly I think that I am smarter than my husband even though he was valedictorian of his class and has a degree in engineering!~

I tag: Jennifer, Amy, Jana, Dana, Meredith, Bev because she needs to play this again, Denise, and You (because everyone should get to play!!!).

Wow, looks as if I have really neglected my blog! It's a good thing though! I've been spending much less time online and more time living life.In the past few months much has happened.

DD has graduated from nursing school and passed her boards. She is now an RN!

DS is living with his girlfriend and she is wearing a diamond ring. The date for their wedding is set for April 26, 2008. I'm also becoming a grandmother as future DIL has a sweet little 3 y/o.

Spent the month of October entertaining friends and attending CKU in Orlando. We went to the beach from there to enjoy a few more days!

I spent a lot of time in "therapy" trying to get out of this mess my life up to now has put my into. Learning how I got where I am. Also had marriage counseling with DH. We found that we really are on the same page but just needed a little professional help to get the conversation going properly. Things are better.

I've begun my Christmas shopping and have it mostly completed. Transitioned my scrap room back from the dining room to the little bed room so I can have formal dinners again. It's a good thing to see the family growing again. My DS and her family are actually coming for Christmas. They will stay next door with mom. I can only take so much!~ KWIM!

The wedding upcoming in April is bringing a secondary problem in that my DMIL will be coming to pay us a visit! After three weeks of togetherness with her in July of 2006, I have been up to my eyeballs with MIL! I'm so thankful she lives so far away. My SIL and BIL are also coming. They will be visiting their son at Patrick AFB where he is stationed. Then they will come over to join us for the wedding festivities! I plan to put them up in a nice hotel and call it good! Last time DMIL stayed at our house she slept on the living room sofa the whole time and would come into DH and my bedroom at night with a flashlight to use the bathroom. Geeze, I know she is antisex but DH certainly is not. What is she thinking?

Do you see how my mind and thoughts wander? That's how my brain is. My new BFF gets a kick out of it as I hop from one topic to the next! I'll try to do better about blogging. Maybe less time posting on the MB's and more time posting on the blog!

Love the way Alicia always ends with lights out! Can't really say that now. It's lights on for me! The only thing constructive that I have done today is to make my bed. That's progress! Off to the shower, dress, make chili for supper and the day is mine!

Dangit, just remembered I have to go talk to Maybell at 2:00 PM. Crap!
