A Very Random Challenge.

It’s Thursday, so let’s throw it back to 1974, 3 days old, with my mother, coming home to my first house in Shreveport, LA.

A Very Random Challenge.

Without question, my awesome person would be my grandmother, Patsy. She was pretty amazing. Kind, generous, a good listener, and lots of fun. She passed away in 2002. I miss her everyday. Before she got very ill, she started IMing and emailing. I’ve kept all of her emails, including her recipe for sweet potato pie. I loved everything about her: that she and my Pappaw ate popcorn for dinner on Sunday nights while they watched 60 Minutes, that she never filled in her name on her “nobody cooks like ________” apron, that she always had peppermints or gum to give me in church, that she said “she-I-T” instead of cursing, and the way she greeted me with a kiss and called me “punkin'” or “sugar dump” (which was shortened from sugar dumplin’.”) I’m sure she’s the reason that I like silly nicknames. I’m sure she’s the reason for most of my good qualities (and one bad – I forget the rolls in the oven just like she did on holidays.)

Here we are in 1992.

I admit, I love the age of texting. I text and IM a lot because it’s quick and if it’s just something short, it’s easy. Long chats on IM can be fun. Sometimes the telephone is just the best.

I go back to sleep. Bath. Catch up on my tv shows. Text friends. Read. Play on Pinterest. You know, stuff.

I am not a morning person. 7am is early. I’m not kidding. My children have to be up at 7 to get ready for school and its a struggle everyday. I often go back to sleep after taking them to school for an hour. 10:30 is sleeping in. Or 11.
I’m an afternoon person.

For obvious reasons, I would be the love child of Lucille Ball and David Letterman. Weird? Yes.

This is a pic of me at MOPS Convention with Boz the bear. In case you weren’t aware, I will pose with any character for fun.

The hubs took this of Fitz and me. I can’t believe I’m posting a pic of myself from this angle. Oh well.

I’m currently reading The Husband’s Secret. It’s very good. Dana introduced me to Liane Moriarty and I like her a lot. She has a style that’s quite engaging and fun. I read Big Little Lies a couple of weeks ago and it was a page-turner, but still fun. Her characters are well-defined and realistic. That book circled around the parents at an elementary school, so I could identify with it super well. Except for killing one of them. I’m old school that way.

Other than a few friends who are celebrities in their own minds, I’d have to say Jimmy Fallon.
