Thurday Thirteen- alphabet addition - C

In order to get to know me better, we are on C this week.

"C"

1. I Collect little elephants under 4 inches tall, and handwritten recipes.

2. Camping is one of our favorite things to do. We have a nice tent but would soon love to buy a popup camper. When we go to festivals like the Renaissance fairs and big craft shows, we always camp overnight also. Plus we live in northern GA with lakes and rivers all arouns us.

3. Christmas is my favorite holiday. I plan it and shop for it all year long.

4. I have an absolute love of photography, so my Camera is a prized possession of mine.

5. I love Cowboys! There is nothing sexier than a guy in tight jeans, a button up shirt, boots and a wide buckle on a horse. Could be why I love rodeos, lol. One of the first things my hubby did when he found that out years ago was go buy him a cowboy hat. Funny but very sweet!

6. Computers! I first started using the computer in 1990 and have never stopped. I guess I'm addicted, but in a good way. I love blogging, and playing games, and could never tire of searching the web.

7. I grew up in Church and raised my children in Church. I quit going when I divorced there dad, but started again six years ago. Church is where I met my current hubby. We have not found a church home in GA yet, and I miss having a church family. It's important to me.

8. I love to Cook. I learned from my Grandma when I was just a young girl, and the kitchen is my comfort place. Great memories and most people think I'm a pretty good cook.

9. I have a thing for Clouds! They are so beautiful, even storm clouds. I am even a member of a clouds group on Flickr. Nothing gripes me more than seeing a beautiful cloud and not having my camera with me.

10. My favorite Colors are earthtones. I love greens and browns, and my entire house shoews that, as well as most of my wardrobe, lol.

11. I do NOT like the Circus. Not sure why. I've taken the kids and I went as a child, but I didn't like it. They freak me out a little bit.

12. I love Candles. I have them in every room of my house. I don't like flowery perfumey smells, but love everything else.

13. Last but never least. I love Castles. I know I was meant to have my own, but something happened. I must have gotten switched at birth with a princess or something,lol. So I try to make my home my castle, no matter where I live.

Well, things are moving right along, lol. We got almost everything moved yesterday. My son came over to help with the big stuff last night, (I think he just wanted to escape the slumber party going on at his house with my 12 yr old granddaughter and five of her friends). He and hubby spent most of their time discussing politics of all things, and bullsh__ing the rest of the time.

Thurday Thirteen- alphabet addition - B

"B"

1. Baby is for the new grandbaby I have coming in July.

2. One of my guilty pleasures is a long bubble Bath with candles glowing, a nice tall drink (the island kind with umbrellas on top,lol and oldies music playing).

3. My Birthday is August 12th, and why is it that no cake tastes quite as good as Birthday cake?

4. I believe in signs. Every time I visit my Mom's grave in CA, a Butterfly is ALWAYS there flying around me. I believe it's a sign.

5. I love the Beach! I've loved summertime for as long as I can remember and the beach is my favorite place to be. The beach at Oceanside, CA and Dana Point are my faves so far. My sister lives two blocks from the beach in Huntington Beach and I miss her so much.

6. I love to Bake, and to eat it, so that is a problem for my diet.

7. Books are one of my favorite things. I collect autographed books, and have almost 30 of them. When I lived in CA, it was easy to meet authors at the book stores; not so easy here in small town GA. I could spend days in a book store.

8. Hubby and I love to go bowling, or at least we did before I got sick. I'm not very good with like a 130 handicap, but he bowls around 230-240 a game. I miss Bowling.

9. I have had four Brothers. Charles was killed in an auto accident the day after he graduated high school. I was 15. Marvin was killed by a drunk driver while walking down a road in Florida. I was 19. I have a brother I've only spoken to once and never met. And then there is my baby brother Chuck, whom I adore. I was 18 when he was born! I miss you Chuck.

10. One of my most prized possesions is my Mother's Bible. She read it daily, and it has notes and underlining all in it.

11. I have been a Bride three times, but #2 did not count. He had forgot to mention he never divorced his first wife.

12. I loved the Bridget Jones movies. I've probably seen them both about fifty times now. Of course it could be because my two fave actors are in it - Hugh Grant and Colin Firth.

13. My new favorite breakfast is a strawberry banana smoothie. Here is my recipe.

Strawberry & Banana Smoothie

1/2 cup strawberries,hulled

1 banana, peeled

1/3 cup plain yogurt

1 tablespoon honey

1 cup low-fat milk

3 ice cubes

Place all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth.

I cannot believe it's 10:45 AM and I just woke up. Not feeling so great, and I'm moving in 3 days! What have I done so far? Nada, nothing!!!

I won't have internet service at all Monday and it will be back on hopefully sometime Tuesday afternoon. Everyone have an awesome day... I have work to do!
