I am not following any of the rules of this award except for the random seven facts dealie, because most of the people I would give it to either aren't really sweet, or they don't participate in the awards stuff.
1. I am currently in the relationship that I have wanted to be in as long as I can remember. He's funny, nice, complimentary, and all the other things I want in a man. How's that for sweet?
2. I want an outdoor pizza oven at my house not just to cook pizzas, but because you can cook all kinds of other awesome stuff in a pizza oven.
3. I pray on almost a daily basis that Audrey, my beloved 2000 Civic, will last me three more years. I am really not looking forward to a new car payment, or higher insurance payments.
4. I love my janky little house more than anyone can possibly imagine.
5. I can't stand long fingernails. They remind me of dirt and filth. They gross me out.
6. I actually send out emails to friends when I have a huge bag of fruit given to me by my folks or friends, because I know they will make way better stuff with the fruit than I would.
7. Some day I am actually going to settle down and write a book. I think I have a lot to say and it could help girls with body image issues and anxiety problems.
Thank you, I humbly accept... oh wait....:p
ReplyDeleteWay to go! You went from almost giving up to meeting this guy. Pretty darn awesome if you ask me! Good stuff.
Hahahah!
ReplyDeleteIt's really awesome. I absolutely adore him. This morning when I got out of the bathroom he'd made me a cup of coffee, and tied a ribbon around it to hold 20 dollars for gas. He's a keeper.
Thank you for the plums! I haven't made anything from them yet b/c I keep eating them. They're delicious!
ReplyDeleteI hate long fingernails too (can you tell? I've never had long nails as long as you've known me). Who has time to go to the salon when they're busy using their fingers to cook and write? :) Nails just get in the way.
Btw, my friend EMily W. has an outdoor pizza oven. Her husb built it for her...it's gorgeous. I want one too someday.
Haha! I plan on gorging myself on them tonight and then making some sauces out of the rest.
ReplyDeleteThey are so nasty. And I think the cooking thing makes me really hate them 'cause I don't like having stuff under my fingernails. Also, my lesbian friend once said, "You can get poop under your nails when you wipe if they're long." Haven't had long nails since.
I need a husb to build me one. Complete with an outdoor kitchen with sink and smoker. :)
If you built all those things, i'd have to move in with you. LOL
ReplyDeleteI think what I hate most about people with perfect, long nails is that they're always obsessing over them. Drives me nuts.
Haha. I'm going to have all those things AND a lap pool.
ReplyDeleteI always notice the women who are like, "I can't afford to feed my Jimmy" but their hair and nails are done every three weeks. Umm, really?
so glad you and your man are so happy! that is awesome!
ReplyDeleteand i would read your book. i hope you are able to start writing it soon! :)
Thanks droll,
ReplyDeleteI'm totally on cloud nine with him right now. He's good stuff. I wouldn't count on the book any time soon. I've started writing one at least ten times now.
@Roe,
Thanks for coming and checking out the blog, and thanks for the congrats on the award. :)
Congrats on the award! I like your level of participation - gracious acceptance without the chain-letter quality of having to pass it on. I also hate long fingernails! Furthermore, although l hadn't thought of it before, I want a pizza oven in my backyard too!
ReplyDeleteI never liked the "Link to me on your blog 'cause I gave this to you" portion of the awards. Seems kind of self serving to me.
ReplyDeleteI should build a fairytale theme pizza oven with Humpty Dumpty on the top. Then you could come visit it and we can cheers with a mocktail while yelling, "Now Fairyland is NEVER closed! Take that!"
I am with you on the long nails!! I get my nails done every other week and am always telling the nail technician "Cut them all off!!". She looks at me like I'm crazy, but too bad. Short and neat with a burst of color :)
ReplyDeleteTotally. When I get mine done they're mighty short and painted. But I don't even paint anymore 'cause chips drive me batty.
ReplyDeleteYay, how fun! I, too, have a 2000 Honda Civic that I am praying lives to a ripe ol' age. I would love a new car, but would not love the extra $$ out of my wallet. We'll have to see whose lasts longer!
ReplyDeleteAnd, the nails...yes. I am especially skeeved by MEN with long nails. Never, ever should this happen. It would be the one superficial quality that would keep me from dating a guy. Everything else, I'd give a chance, but long nails? Forget it.
Do you not love your little old POS? I love my car still so much.
ReplyDeleteEek, men with long nails? I have seen Asian gangsters with long pinky nails. That always gave me the skeeves.
Way to go!! You are so deserving of an award, and others need to find you! :) I am truly happy for you and the relationship you've found. Deserving of that as well.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we could inspire/encourage/kick each other swiftly to go for it and get a book started!!!
I hate long nails too. Those pictures in the Guinness Book of World Records with the people who grow the fingernails to absurd lengths? Ugh...it gives me anus quivers.
ReplyDeleteAnd on that note, your being in a happy relationship that you've wanted forever is a great great thing.
The mere mention of those nails made me dry heave. No joke.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice. I'm still in shock because the logical part of my brain keeps saying, "Too fast! This isn't normal." Then every time I'm with him that logical part goes away and I know this is just a completely right and good thing.
Long fingernails always make me wonder what kind of lunch leftovers they have lingering under there. *shudder*
ReplyDeleteOoooh, I know. There are so many leftover pizza sauces under those nails!!
