I would love to meet you! You sound like a really fun person! and really organized, something which I am not, but would love to be.

Thanks for sharing.

I do admittedly have to hunt for some things in a pile here or there...but I usually know just which one it is in...
I do wish at times that I knew where my fabric came from...how much it cost...why I bought it???? So I see value in your cataloging 8) 8) 8)
I love how we all have our differences and sameness's :mrgreen: :mrgreen:


So the Mad woman in the attic and the crazy lady in the dungeon...pleased to meet you!!! I am the eccentric ol' lady upstairs 8) 8) 8)

When the gas tank gets low...I start talking low and sweet to my darlin'...come on baby....you can make it...I know you can...all the while patting her on the dashboard :roll: AND do I care about the stares I get at the stop lights???? :roll: :lol: :lol:

the bobbins . . . the gas tank . . . tried all different ways to handle those

of course it's CDO instead of OCD (alphabetical is perfectly logical)

I ALWAYS exhale when getting on the scale. Sure it helps. Doesn't it?? Doesn't it?????

And mousie, I think we may be twins separated at birth.
But the hubby numbering the socks thing really takes the cake! Why didn't I think of that sooner!?!

Whew, perhaps I lost a few ounces in belly laughter. Better go check the scale . . . EXHALE!

I wish laughing at myself would take more than an ounce or two off!!! As often as I do it...I should be up to a pound or two atleast!!! :roll: :mrgreen:
I wonder if I should keep a list of my blunders??? I could keep ya'll in stitches for quite a while and the ounces rolling off :wink: :lol: :lol: Kinda like that commercial where the hip, stomach fat falls off on the floor in the produce section of the store? :D :D :D

Love all these stories. Can remember being in same situation.

You'd have thought he said he was going to shoot one of our kids.
