NAME 6 QUIRKS

1. I could practically live on Orange juice and lemonade

2. I'm very particular about how my clothes hang in my closet.

3. I use to read tons but since having Porter I've got hooked on books on tape, I almost always have one going when I clean the house, drive anywhere, and even take one camping to listen to while I'm hanging out in the camper.

4. I loooove Taco Bell (I think your right Kathy about it getting in your blood and I only worked there a week!!!)

5. My major in college for the first two years was International Studies with an Emphasis in the Middle East (Like I would ever actually use that!) It's a really good thing that I switched to Business.

6. I love to get the mail. I guess it started in college and even though now its mostly boring stuff I love sorting through the envelopes and the occasional package.

Food Storage

I have a list of blogs in my google reader that I enjoy reading one of my very favorite is Be It Ever So Humble. Mrs. Mordecai has great ideas on so many homemaking related things. Her post today was on food storage- which is one of the few homemaking areas that I feel like I have a really good handle on (I should say WE my husband is a big helper).


When we got married we were fortunate to have family give us some food storage as wedding presents- in the eight years since then we have added a little here and a little there and have finally got to a point where we can work on maintaining and rotating. We are very fortunate to have a large storage room in our basement that stays nice and cool to keep stuff well preserved.


I know when we started it seemed overwhelming but speaking from experience starting was the hardest part- I truly believe with a little planning, some time, and a little faith anyone can follow the wise council to build their food storage up. That is my challenge to all my family and friends this week. Take a mental inventory of where you are with your food storage and take action- even a little step towards getting it to where you want it to be. You can do it!!!

Kind of fun to try

I saw this on another website and was curious to try it out- I always wondered how fast I typed- Pretty average I guess- I wish they had ten key tests now that I could do- After 4 years at a bank I could ten key in my sleep!

Things they never tell you about being a mom.

I am finding that there are a lot of things that they never tell you about being a mom. Like that you would cheer on your child when he finally left a present in his diaper after several days without one.... That you would drive all the way home from town with your arm streched back over the seat cutting off your circulation to hold up your child's head as he slept so he didn't get a sore neck. . .

No one told me that after I had a child I would suddenly see germs everywhere on places that used to seem clean, that Clorox wipes would become a must have in my purse- oh yeah I forgot what purse- who can carry one with a 20lb kid, and the diaper bag!

And the biggest thing no one told me is how you manage to use the restroom while you are out shopping alone with your baby . . . . Leaving him in the car is obviously not an option, nor is laying him on the bathroom floor, and I am not enough of a juggler to hold at the same time (the thought alone makes me laugh). I considered handing him to the nice looking lady in Customer Service (Hey I'm a customer I need service!) but then all these kidnapping stories came to mind. . . . At this point I am starting to think I may never attempt to leave the house alone again or at least avoid drinking anything for several hours before I do.
