Five Fun Facts For Friday

Oh boy.


Let me give you a little background information on this posting.

I was lying in bed at 2:30 this morning smelling a strange odor.
Sort of an onioney smell.
None too pleasant.

I got up to investigate.
Found my dog sleeping on the couch.

{which he is not supposed to be doing}
bad dog.

opened the front door and was hit by a wall of stinkiness.



Seems as if a skunk and one of the wandering
neighborhood tom cats had it out.


I would venture to guess that the skunk won this battle.

It smells like he squeezed out every bit of wretched perfume from his
little black and white body.

In my front yard.

So....

while I'm up~
maybe I'll do a post.

That should be fun.


heavy on the should.

My computer shut down 4 times while trying to pull up the internet.

Now I'm thinking that I smell a virus too.

After wiggling and banging the mouse on the pad repeatedly
and hammering the keys madly in an attempt to get a response....

I finally restarted the computer.

Seems as if that did the trick.


Now it's 4:22 and I'm not feeling nearly as witty.

Tired?
yes

Grumpy?
maybe


So here I go with my brilliant plan to post 5 fun facts for you



Some tidbits of information that you may not know

and that you may or may not be interested in knowing



Number 1

I am the oldest of 4 girls

Not that I'm old. I just happened to be born first.

I have two girls~~can't imagine doubling that.

that's a lot of squealing and drama and dirty clothes
and later~time spent in the bathroom.....and on the phone....

I would need a revolving account at the local spa.


But not my mother.

I only remember her raising her voice once.

and that was over a banana.

We all laughed hysterically.

poor momma.

We didn't call her Mother Teresa for nothing.




Number 2

I got married when I was 19.

19.

OOOf....that's young


The first semester after I started college

my boyfriend of 3 1/2 years and I knew it was time to make it permanent.

We've been married 17 years.

We were young

but we knew we were right.




Number 3

~~This one is related to marriage too~~

My youngest sister Shauna is married to
my husband's younger brother


So....my sister is also my sister-in-law
{and my best friend}

are children are double cousins.

It works great for us.


fewer presents to buy


don't have to try to work someone new into the family





Number 4

I've never been pulled over by a cop.

The thing is~ I'm not a rule breaker.
This is why I also was never sent to the Principal's Office.

and I also think that it has to do with the fact that I've almost always driven
Granny cars.

Never had a speedster.

Probably never will.

Unless I stumble upon a fortune somewhere.


I always have liked Jaguars

or a nice Mercedes.

{are those Granny cars too?}

whatever.




Number 5

You know


I can't think of a 5th fact right now.

I'm ready for some more sleep


plus this is the wordiest blog I've ever written.


I apologize now.....
hope you made it through

that's what you get when I start working on a post at 2:30 in the morning
and I'm intoxicated by skunk odor.

Have a great weekend friends~
