1. it's my birthday soon
2. I used to hate birthdays
3. now I love them
4. I am compelled to clean up the book area at costco.
5. I can't look at books for long without finding myself straightening them up... oh messy shoppers.
6. I have to pull myself away
7. the book shelves in my own home- ? who cares
8. I love toasted coconut covered marshmallows, especially roasted over the fire
9. With that in mind it's time to confess...
10. I quit going to WW
11. Yep, I'm a quitter.
12.I'm not really sure why I quit- except it's just hard for me to juggle summer especially in the beginning- not to mention, I'm hungry. Do I sound upset about it? because... I'm not.
13. I'm looking for a good book which does not induce fits of crying- I don't do sad.
14. Like everyone else... I'm worried about the price of gas.
15. Is it really going to $7 a gallon????
16. Yesterday I got an email from the missionary that was just for me. Happiness.
17. I went to college- BYU- (of course) & majored in REcreation. but quit after meeting my husband & getting married.
18. My favorite class REcreation 315- how to throw a party. I wonder if they still have that class?
19. I'm dead serious- & I actually use what I learned (and can remember) on a regular basis, even with my own family.
20. I wish I would've finished school- not really- I hope I don't regret saying that. I KNOW how important education is- I really do. I just don't regret my choice.
21. I think I picked the wrong word for this year- CREATE- maybe I'm just too scatter
brained or ADD or something to focus on just one word.
22. I was the Thespian club president, student body vice president, a cheerleader, & laurel class president my senior year of high school.
23. I am more comfortable being busy than not.
24. Except for right now- I am loving having a couple of days without anything major to do.
25. I find myself a couple of times a month wondering if we have enough money to plan a spontaneous trip to disneyland?
26. We haven't been there for a couple of years, so I guess that answers the question. (darn it)
27. Money- it's all about priorities- other priorities are really getting in my way.
28. My favorite holiday is Independence Day!!
29. That means- just about my favorite week of the year- is THIS WEEK.
30. I am really excited about the children's parade, concert in the park, fireworks (oh how I love the big fireworks) parade down main street of my town, flags flying, carnival in the park, art show & quilt show at the elementary school. We only live 2 blocks away from all the festivities- one of my favorite things about my house!
31. My sister from WA & her family is coming down to visit! I am really, really excited for this week!
i love your list this month. it speaks of summer and free time and fourth of july!
ReplyDeleteI love your lists! You are more than welcome to come to my house to watch the children's parade with all your family there is plenty of space!!
ReplyDeleteI love the 4th of July too...but I think the 24th in Utah is my Fave...probably beause it's the day before my B-day....July birthdays are the best!!! Great list...I need to start working on one...I hope to have a top 40 list for my birthday since it is the BIG 40 this year...yikes...bring it on!~
ReplyDeleteOkay--so I ALWAYS tell everyone why I loved Centerville and hated to leave it! 1)They have their OWN parade for the 4th of July, 2) They have a CHILDRENS parade--which my children relished every year decorating their bikes!! 3) Small town with wonderfully nice people!!
ReplyDeleteHow I miss Centerville! Especially this week...
Hi Patsy - jumped over from Jill's blog just in time to catch this great list. I too am a quitter, although this week my clothes are not fitting and I probably need to drag myself back on the wagon...QUICKLY! Love your list and can't wait to scroll through more posts. Come by and visit me sometime too.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to be back in the blogging world and catching up on your posts:) you have wonderful posts always! I loved the pictures of Chloe's ballet night, I loved hearing all about camp and I love number 22 on your list. I can definitely see that:) you are such a great person to always be involved. It is such a good example to me. I always want to be involved but, don't always do. AND...Happy Blogging Anniversary...Yeah:)
ReplyDeleteIt appears you answered some of my blog topic questions in your 31 things this month, how about that?!
ReplyDeleteI am a compulsive book tidier at Costco and everywhere else. I am incapable of picking something up in a store and then abandoning it somewhere else, so I often replace things other people have left.
P.S. I've quit WW twice!!
