i see why they call you Martha!
ReplyDeleteSo is pleasentville like the movie?
I also need 2009 to be my re-connet yr. I need to re-connect with so many things
Homemade chapstick -- awesome! You can scent it however you want, Martha.
ReplyDeleteAwesome on the triathlon, too. Is your middle name Marian?*
*before she was dethroned due to steroids.
Hehehe...a few of my friends tease me and call me Martha too.
ReplyDeleteAnd, you are right, SIF sucks big time.
It's a Martha club! I have a mug that my friend gave to me that says "Just call me Martha". Maybe we should make the mug a club badge of honour. lol.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, breakfast out is always awesome! Except for pancakes... I hate the batters most places use and prefer to make them at home.
Wow. We have a lot in common. I could have written that list - except all the crafty stuff - definitely NOT me.
ReplyDeleteLet me just say I so understand your #10. Although I also had primary IF, the way I was treated by others for my secondary (well, tertiary) was really really reall HARD to deal with. Really hard. ~hugs~
When you fly UPS do they make you wear brown shorts?
ReplyDeletePleasantville is very tiny...but not much like the movie.
ReplyDeleteHaha! I think the Martha Mug should be a badge of honor!
And no, my middle name isn't Marian...I barely finished it, but I did do it!
Oh, and no brown shorts when you fly UPS.
You make your own chapstick?! I would save SO much money if I made my own! I am addicted to that stuff! Coffee is a MUST for me, too. Good for you for completing a triathlon. That's great! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHA, my verification word is "stick" lol
It was fun reading about you. I was smiling at the birthday cake blooper! You can make your own chapstick and run a marathon! Wowwies! Do you maintain a photo blog as well?
ReplyDeleteI love reading these! I've learned so many fun facts about people I've known for years, so this was a real treat--now I *feel* like I've known you for years. I'm also crazy about the color brown. We painted our bedroom in the first house we purchased as a married couple a deep chocolate brown, which I thought was cozy & wonderful. When we decided to rent the house out upon moving to Germany a year later, our renters said it looked like a cave! Hmmmmph! So what does it take to get on next year's holiday gift-giving list for some of that homemade chapstick?
ReplyDelete"My favorite meal to eat out is breakfast." ME TOO! I love ordering a big, fattening breakfast and having the yolk of the egg run into the greasy hashbrowns. Yum!
ReplyDeleteGossips rank right up their with liars in my book.
