- Just call me Grandma!
-
Wow! My daughter is carrying on the tradition of doing everything in a big hurry. She's buying a house, getting married, and having a baby this year. Her brother is much more laid back and easier to keep up with! lol So, I guess this makes me a Grandma in training....or waiting, I suppose. I'm very excited and hope that she has a problem free pregnancy, just as I did. It's funny because I don't feel like a Grandma and I don't really fit the type...not like mine were. They were wonderful, OLD, women. But, I was much younger then and they probably werent that old. I have aspirations of being a very cool Grandma, one who will be silly with the kids, spoil them rotten, and then send them home to their parents! At 48 I do have the prerequisite bifocals, but thats about all! Oh, and a few gray hairs, but my hairdresser does battle with those! I try not to act my age and have as much fun as I can, but still maintain my responsible side. I'm excited for Wendy and all the happy events in her life right now. I hope she stays as happy as she is right now, forever. I love her so much! (and Keith too, they are my greatest accomplishment)

Does anyone really want to know the answers to these questions? Take, for instance, the one I have popped up here..if you were a candy, what candy would you be?...who cares? I'm not a candy, never was, never will be. It's ridiculous. I'm a middle aged, short, chubby woman, living under the delusion that someday everything will be all right. I don't have a picture posted on my profile for a couple of reasons. First of all, because I don't have any, and second of all because I don't like to be judged worthy because of the way I look. I'm not ugly, but I wouldn't say that I'm one of God's pretty people either. I like to think that I'm not the type of person who is superficial. I don't discriminate, I'm not racist, I don't have any money, and I've had more than my fair share of lemons handed to me in my life. (They go well with Jack Daniels!) I work hard, and then I like to have fun. I'm the type who is willing to jump out of a perfectly good airplane, if the opportunity should arise! But anyway, my main point in this little rant is that I don't believe that anyone is going to learn anything about me if I answer the ridiculous questions. This type of into is not going to get into the nitty gritty of who I am, where I came from, and what have I become as a result of life. My life was ugly, but not as bad as others, and I choose to have a positive outlook in spite of it. My choices have not been great, but from this I learn. My future is unknown, but I'm up to the challenge. Candy? Snickers...but I probably sound more like a Sour Patch Kid!

- Have you ever had a recurring dream?
-
I couldn't help myself, when I saw this question I had to laugh! When I was a young child I used to have recurring nightmares about big,black goats that were coming down the hall to get me. These were triggered by my father's snoring, of all things! I now realize that Dad had sleep apnea, but the noise was horrific. At that time my room was across the hall from my parents and there was no way to avoid the snoring. Somehow, in my young mind, the noise reminded me of the sound that hooves would make on the linoleum. (how I would have known this, I don't know!) The goats were larger than life, and intent on getting just me. I was so terrified of them that I could see them even if I was awake. I spent many a night under the covers. Of course, they couldn't find me there! I remember spending a few nights in bed with my parents, but what a battle it was for my father to come across the hall to get me. He had to get through the goats after all! To this day I am more comfortable sleeping with my head under the covers! Except now I call it hibernating!
