1) Who is the biggest hypocrite you have ever met? My ex husband
2) "I usually cry _after seeing the doctor as it is never good news anymore________."
3) Name some of your superstitions and explain why you think you believe in them.
Having grown up with the most supstitious man that ever lived and always thinking how silly his superstitions were, I am not at all superstitious. I was not allowed to have even a goldfish, because live fish in the house is a house with no money. Never dry your hands with anything other other than a white towel. See .... silly!
4) What one thing in your life would you most like to complete?
Losing down to my goal weight, which would be over 100 pounds.
5) Show and Tell. What comes to mind first when you see this picture? Or, tell a story if it reminds you of one.
The photo of Hamilton reminds me very much of the statue of the conferate soldier on the court house lawn where I grew up. I remember being in awe of this statue when I was a child. It was scary, yet fascinating to me, this man made of stone.

Manic Monday
1. How did you celebrate your last birthday?
I was still living in Phoenix. I baked myself cupcakes and hubby and our friend Jerry took me out to dinner and the casino. I won $600 that night. It was a good birthday.
2. What's the last thing you bought yourself, just for fun?
Ok, when I have to sit here and think of the answer this long, I know it's been way too long since I bought anything at all just for fun. Since we moved to GA and have no extra money, I spend almost nothing.
3. What would the child you once were think of the adult you have become?
Sadly, she would be very disappointed. She had big dreams for me.

1. Did you watch the Oscars last night? What did you think of them?
I did watch the Oscars, although I like the red carpet best. I was totally disappointed in the winners they chose. Not one was one I would have picked.
2. Have you ever called in sick to work when you weren't really sick? What did you spend the day doing instead?
Once I did. Had to take hubby to the airport and had no time off, so I called in sick. Sometimes you just do what you have to do.
3. In school did you ever have to serve detention? What for?
NO. I was a good girl believe it or not.
4. Have you ever had food poisoning? What did you eat that caused it?
Yes. I had Red Lobster in LAs Vegas. Thought I was going to die for about two days straight. It's a miserable kind of sick.
5. Do you have any tattoos? If not, would you ever consider getting one?
I have two tattoos, both from another lifetime and wish I had not gotten them. I do love tattoos though.

Grandma/Kenzie day
Today was a very special day. Kenzie and I planned a Grandma/Kenzie day, and we had so much fun I think we will do this every month. Just me and her, having fun. She is 7.
First she made cupcakes and needed very little supervision, I might add.
Then at the end of afternoon, she gave me her own version of a "french manicure" which I will wear with pride, mistakes and all.
To those of you who have grandchildren, I urge you to spend an afternoon with just one, if you don't already. Kenzie is the middle child of two sisters, and sometimes needs that extra little bit of attention. Let's face it, Grandmas need attention too. Next month we are going to do a craft project. I need ideas!!!!

Friday's Feast #180
Appetizer
Have you ever played a practical joke on anyone? If so, what did you do and who was your victim?
When my friend Dolores turned 47, another friend and I drove to her place of employment and decorated her car. We filled it completely with black balloons, wrote all over the windows things like 'Dolores is 47-half way to Heaven', added tons of streamers, etc. It looked like a parade float. We thought she would love it because she had done that sort of thing to others. We were WRONG! She didn't speak to us for almost two weeks, and then she was still upset. But we are still friends 17 years later. (She still doesn't think it was funny).
Soup
What do your salt and pepper shakers look like?
I found a pair of whimsical looking boy and girl shakers at the grocery store in Phoenix, and loved them. Take a look -
Salad
Where is the next place you plan to visit (on vacation or business)?
To CA to visit my family and friends. Problem is- if I go, I may not come back. Main Course
What kind of lotion or cream do you use to keep your hands from getting too dry?
Whatever I have on hand, but I have lots of lotions, probably about 8 bottles of different sorts.
Dessert
Make up a dessert, tell us its ingredients, and give it a name. -
Sandy's Scrumtuicous Saturday Surprise
Cut up chocolate cake into pieces. Put in a casserole. Add some nuts, tiny colored marshmallows and some great ice cream. Cover with caramel syrup. Sounds YUMMY!!!!!!!
