If I were on Survivor...

I would show up dressed in pants with those zip of flegs, sneakers, t-shirt, sweatshirt, jacket and some nice thick undies and sport bra. I would bring my tankini with short type bottoms.

Seriously what is with the lacy flimsy bras, long thin cotton dresses. Maybe Survivor won't let them bring practical clothing. You would think after 13 prior seasons every survivor would show up in appropriate clothing knowing how the start fire with a flint, or without, and fishing skills. Have these people never seen the show before?

Why would I want to show my parts to the world? Cover-up people! Candace's bikini was the most impractical choice I have seen. There is now way that little top could contain those puppies during a physical challenge.

I also wonder why no one ever gets a sunburn. I assume they are supplied with all the sunscreen wanted just not on camera. I would have be a lobster after treking for 4 hours to the camp.

Nedless to say you will never see me on Survivor since while the money prize would be welcomed the physical excertion is not.

Cupid


Saturday is Valentine's Day.


It doesn't excite me so much cause I have no Valentine. My Mom and I have been known to partake in a heart shaped pizza. They taste the same as a round one but the have less to eat cause they have been cut into a heart. The first year I got one I went to a local pizza place, Imo's. I had seen ads for them available at Imo's. I forgot to read the small print which said "at participating locations". I went to the location closest to me and was given such a look - like are you crazy. The kind young man behind the counter said he could make me one but he would have to charge me the regular price for a large pizza. He then made me my half sausage half pepperonni pizza and cut a triangle out of the top and 2 half circles off the lower half. Not the most perfect heart - but it was still cute. Papa Johns is offering heart pizza this year and they make the crust shaped like a heart so it starts out that way and doesn't need to be cut. We had these last year but they were smaller so we each got our own. They sell them 2 - 1 topping for 19.99 with a coupon.
What are you doing for Valentine's Day?

It's My First!

Hi all -

Welcome to my blog.

A little about me:

I am in my 40's, single and happy that way. I have 2 very bad rescued min pin's , Angel & Pumpkin. I am addicted to TV. I love live theatre, going to movies, eating out, reading and gardening. I have traveled to Australia twice, New Zealand (no I did not bungy jump), London 4 times (I did see the Queen ,in a parade,on my first visit), Austria and Germany (but 1 was 12 so not many memories).

I love the cyber community I have come to know from Jackie's blog. It is an amazing feeling to get to know people without meeting in person. I am constantly amazed by the lives some of these people have lived.

Me - I have lived in the same house all my life. I have 2 sisters who are married and have kids - so I am the crazy Aunt I guess. We vacationed at the same place and house on the Outer Banks of NC all of my growing years. The house was taken off the rental market so we have stayed at several beachfront houses in the years since childhood. I still love going to the beach, but we no longer go every year.

My goal is to someday be a Lady of Leisure. I would love to not HAVE to work everyday. I could make appointments any day or time, I could take off on vacation whenever I wanted. I could sleep till 9am.

Another dream is to run my own toy store. My first job was at a variety store that sold a little of everything and was known to have that hard to find toy every Christmas. I have always loved toys. I have the old toys from my Grandmothers house - you know the cool old wooden ones. I also love stuffed animals. I have hundreds - it's sad I know, but they are soo cuddly.

So there is a little about me - a kid that never really grew up.
