the simple life

How are you celebrating the 4th of July?

I never really celebrate the 4th of July persay.  I just typically take advantage of it being a company holiday, if it falls within my work week of course.  Otherwise I just hang out with my BFF.  We sometimes will find something to get into.

Show us two things that should never be together.

Yeah!  I know the challenge is to show two "things".  Oh well.

Do you believe in ghosts? If so, have you ever seen one?

Nope, I don't believe in them; and it's mainly because I've never seen any.  And I prefer to keep it that way.  I'm scary enough, and I'm sure it'll scare the shit out of me.

If there are any ghosts reading this, I don't mean to offend you...I'm just being honest.

When was the last time you drove out of town?

Technically I didn't drive, but I rode with Hopluv from Dallas to Fort Worth to purchase her daughter a new Land Rover Freelander.  Yeah, those of you who know the Dallas, TX metro area might think that Fort Worth (aka Funkytown) isn't really out of town.  Well, I never go there so it's out of town to me; and it seems like a long drive/ride.

1.  Fine : This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

2.  Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour.  Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

3.  Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.

4. Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

5.  Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing.)

6. That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

7. Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say you're welcome.

8. Whatever : Is a women's way of saying F YOU!

9. Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking  'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to #3.

For a full sit-down dinner with several guests, would you rather be the one cooking or do you prefer to just show up and eat?

I'd rather show up (with a bought desert) and eat.  Frankly, because my cooking skills aren't where they should be.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

Exfoliating soaps are my latest addiction. I just absolutely love these. They’re very big bars, moisturizes my skin so well and I just adore the scents. The Somerset Toiletry Company are responsible for such great bars of soaps. But ya know what?! I’ve had the hardest time finding them. The only place I can find them is at Marshall’s and TJ Maxx. So whenever I visit either store, I buy the soaps I find. I’m glad my addiction is healthy for my skin!
