Facelift


When women want a feel good thing---they go shopping or get their haircut--go to a chick flick. What does a house do when it wants a 'feel good thing?? Well--it gets a facelift !! It gets a newly painted door; painted handrail; painted shutters;painted numbers; and new light fixtures ! (Shutters and light fixtures are on their way ! ) Watching shows like 'Designed to Sell'; Curb Appeal; Decorating Cents----well that just gets me motivated to do lots and lots of things. Patrick shudders everytime he sees me watching such shows because he knows what is on the way !

Who Has Quirks??

Quirks?? I was tagged by Rachael and supposed to list Patrick and I's quirks?? Do Parents have those?? I have had to think long and hard about that........thus why it has taken me so long to reply. So here goes.....

Patrick's Quirks:

1. He picks his fingers incessantly !
2. Brushes his teeth until the enamel is gone !
3. Will brake on the freeway for a wrench, nail, or any other 'tool'--of which he
already has plenty of !
4. Gets lost telling a story because he takes off on a side trip that eventually
leads him back to the story !

Marlene's Quirks:

1. Very impatient--want things done sooner than later.
2. Dirty floors REALLY bug me--have to vacuum and sweep every day--sometimes twice
a day !
3. My face turns red whenever attention is focused on me---HATE THAT !!
4. I do not use the dishwasher nor do I have a cell phone--I have not advanced
into the modern world !

Think that will suffice for quirks from the old folks? I'm sure the kids can add to the list---and no doubt will ! So feel free !
