Top 100 books of what I don't know.

So I saw this meme type thing over at Nine Acres, and thought I would do it too. It goes along nicely with what I have been blogging about recently!

Here is what you do:
1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicize the books you LOVE.
3) Strike out the books you have no intention of ever reading, or were forced to read at school and hated.

I didn't strike out any, but there are a few on here I have no intention of reading. I also thought if I used bold and italics together that it was too hard to tell which ones I LOVED. So if I Italicized it I obviously read it and LOVED it. Hey what if I make it RED? Makes it stand out easier! And I just realized due to my background the bold is hard to make out so bold will be in yellow.

Hubby or Wife

This is the meme that Janet tagged me for ages ago! It could have been titled Him or Me... I hope you enjoy. I am sure that the hubs will correct anything I may have gotten wrong. He is so quick to show I am wrong...Why wasn't that question on here??? Today is the day he proposed to me, 11 years ago.


How long did you date?
I don't really know when we started dating. Our relationship did not start out quite normal and I'm not talking about how we met. If we started dating when he left for Bosnia then the answer would be... 2 years and 4 months.

How old is he? 31

Who eats more? HIM!

Who said “I love you” first? I don't have a clue...so maybe that means it was him?!

Who is taller? That would be me, thank you very much. I am 5'11 and 3/4 inches he is a mere 5'9


Who sings better? Me, the poor fellow is tone deaf.

Who is smarter? Him

Whose temper is worse? His, but I come in a close second!

Who does the laundry? Me. He will do his laundry if he needs it done and I haven't gotten to it yet, but that's all he does.

Who does the dishes? Me. He does do an occasional dishwasher load, and he will do it when asked but the majority is me.

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? If you are standing at the foot of our bed,facing it, he is on the right...but in my mind I am on the right as I roll out of bed to my right...that way I don't get out on the wrong side of bed. It sure doesn't help my morning grumpiness.

Who pays the bills? 100% me.

Who cooks dinner? Me. He will cook a few things, and he grills.

Who drives when you are together? ME. I am a control freak like that. I am a horrible passenger. I stomp on my imaginary break when am in the passenger seat, for anyone...even my Mom.

Who is more stubborn? That would be me, though he has a strong stubborn side, I still win this one.

Who kissed who first? Um really we both did don't ya think?

Who is the first to admit when they are wrong? That is a toss up.


Whose parents do you see the most? MINE. His make a yearly visit, now that we live in the states. I have a very close relationship with my Mom.

Who proposed? He did, over the phone while I was in Kansas and he was on the other end of the line in Bosnia.

Who is more sensitive? ME

Who has more friends? ME


Who has more siblings? Neither of us, we are both only children.

Who wears the pants in the family? He only gets to wear pants to work,which makes that answer me.

Real Life Curriculum

Melissa tagged me for the Real Life Curriculum meme, I do not know what the official title is but that is what I'm going to call it. The Rules are: Devise a list of 5-10 courses you would take to fix your life. It's more fun to be in classes with friends, so include one class from the person who tagged you that you'd also like to take. Tag 5.

Melissa did such an amazing job with this, I am just warning you now that mine will be lame!

First is the class I would like to take from Melissa. As much as I relate to the "Single Parenting for Married People" I have already mastered the skills she mentioned so I am going with...

"Seven Strategies for Dealing with your Nosy Neighbors
Maybe you, too, have a tree that your neighbors find offensive, or maybe you're just pissing them off because you don't bring in your trash cans right after the trash guys come, at 6:30 am. You ingrate. Whatever it is, this class can help you with tried and true methods like "Ducking Whenever They Walk Past Your Kitchen Window" and "Making Evil Comments About Their New Astroturf Lawn To Anyone Who Calls Your House". By the end of the quarter, you'll be ready to dodge and snark your way around your own neighborhood without a smidgen of guilt."

Now 4 from me....

Time Management Strategies Do you find yourself running out of time? Do you feel like you never get everything checked off your to-do list? Have you ever looked at the clock and exclaimed," Holy shit where the fuck did the time go?" Then this class is for you!

Mixed Drinks 300 This is an advance course in how to make the lesser known alcoholic beverages. You know you want to learn how to make a Pink Fuzzy Pussy.

Follow through for Beginners Do you start things that you never finish? Perhaps 5 loads of clean folded laundry that you never got put away and you just dig through the basket looking for THE pair of jeans you want to wear. Maybe you told your child no video games until next weekend and one day later let them have the game boy just so you could have some peace and quiet for fucks sake! This class must be taken in conjunction with Time Management Strategies or else you'll be royally screwed!

Selective Hearing 101 The kids do it to you now it's time to learn how to give them a taste of their own medicine! This course also includes techniques on proper ways to ignore without being neglectful, and how to effectively tune them out.

I am going to tag....

Shower Me with My Love...meme

I really wasn't tagged but my BFF keeps hounding me to do this meme where I talk about 10 reasons why I kick ass...Rock... like myself. Little does she know that soon after I have posted my attributes a post will come of Hyde's commentary to Jekyll's love fest. I think this meme's official title is called the Stuart Smalley Meme.

10 Things I like/love about ME!

In no particular order....

  1. To quote ZZ Top," She's got legs, she knows how to use them." I like my extremely long sexy(to me) legs! Yes, I know how to use them too!
  2. I love that I experienced giving birth naturally, without ANY drugs to a 10lb baby! I am proud of that fact and proud of me!
  3. I love that I do not beat around the bush, pussyfoot, sugar coat, or shove sunshine. I am blunt,outspoken and to the point. I will tell you what I think, feel, believe. If you don't want to know that you in deed look fat in that dress don't ask me. I also call bullshit when I see it. Which leads me to...
  4. I love my inner sense, my intuition. I am really good at telling when someone or something is off. I know when I am being lied to. I have a good gage. I smell your load of crap a mile away, and I will most likely call you on it. The blog world is saved however...I have to be in your physical presence or over the phone. I also have a good radar when it comes to my close ones being sad or out of sorts and if I listen and pay attention to my feelings then I call or go by which leads me too...
  5. I am the best friend. I am thoughtful, caring, I go out of my way to help or just be there. I will go broke just to buy something that made me think of my friends, or go broke if they needed something. I'd give them anything I have if it made their life easier. I am loyal. I am there until they decide they no longer need me and then if 10 years down the road they come back into my life I will still be there. I will be there when I no longer roam this earthly plane in the shell that is my body. But I do not tolerate being used. Like I mentioned in #4, I can tell when you are a user, I can tell when you are not real. I am no ones doormat. Which kind of leads me to....
  6. I am the best advocate for my children. I have fought very hard for my oldest sons rights. I will do the same for the younger two if I have to. If my friends needed an advocate I would be the one to call. I fight for what is right, for what I believe... I fight against what I feel to be wrong. I am strong in my convictions. I am WOMAN! I am overly active in my children's schooling but I know my limits and homeschooling would be the quickest one way ticket to the Funny Farm. I admire those that can and I admire myself for knowing I cant, and knowing that I do everything else in my power to be involved.
  7. I Rock out to music. I love my eclectic taste in music. I love to sing it too. When my hubby asks me "Who sings this song?" I say "ME!" and I keep rockin' it! I sing it loud and proud and I don't care who sees or hears. I was in singing groups in High school. I thought I was good...When Idol first came out I watched the tapes from HS and I realized I never would have received a Golden Ticket even in the first season! This is still self love cuz what I love about me is I love to sing and I am not embarrassed and I have enough sense to know not to make a fool of myself by acting like I can sing or tell you that I am good! Music makes me HAPPY! I love that I know Music is therapy and so is singing along!!!
  8. I love that I care about Mother Earth, that I am working towards making it a better place for not only my 3 boys but for their children and their children's children. I recycle all my paper/cardboard, all the plastic containers/bottles, my glass, aluminum cans, tin cans, my dead batteries. I do lots of little things to re-use items before it gets recycled. Every time a light bulb goes out I replace it with a CFL. I compost. I buy E 85 for my car. I replace cleaning products with green ones as I run out. I got my middle guy's preschool teacher to recycle paper in the classroom and I took it to recycle when I go. I am in the process of getting at least a paper recycle program started at my oldest son's school. My list goes on and on... I love that I am green and that I am passing this down to my kids.
  9. I am a glass is half full kinda girl. I like that I feel everything happens for a reason. I may never find out the reason but I will find that silver lining. I am an optimist ...a huge complaining optimist.
  10. To quote Stuart Smalley,"I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, people like me." I LOVE ME!
Now it is your turn to shower yourself with love, self love..."All you need is Love..." I want to see it too...I'll be watching and waiting to see why you Rock!

I've been tagged

I am not happy about it either. I dislike these things so much. I am only doing it cuz my BFF tagged me. I will however spare anyone that reads this from the same fate!

It's the meme that asks one to reveal 8 random things about oneself.

1) I hate memes, they make me have to think hard, harder than I like.

2) I pick my nose.

3) I let my youngest stay in pee-pee diapers way to long, he needs to stop wearing them anyway, he is 3... he never gets a rash from my infrequent diaper changes.

4) I chew my finger nails, and I am chewing them while trying to think of things for this meme.

5) I still have my first and all time favorite teddy bear, her name is Tezzy.

6) I hate putting away folded laundry, so I have piles of clean folded laundry that I sift thru to find what I will wear.... until I get too annoyed with all the piles and put it all away which happens about every other month or so.

7) I am a very bad speller.

8) I hate my skin, and always pay attention to other ppls skin and usually wish for theirs. My BFF is the only one that will get this. Comment you non-commenter's and lurkers if you care to find out more about this.... nee ner nee ner

Again no one is getting tagged by me as I loath these things. Also I do not think I have any regular readers except for my BFF, and the ones on Fun Monday don't count as they are only Monday readers.
