Time For Me To 'Pour It On' Again!


       I'm sure that smilemercantile didn't expect to have their beautiful pitcher show up in a post like this one, but it was so pretty that I had to share it! ^_^ And since I "am" about to 'pour it on'...about me...again!...I thought YOU might forgive me this time...and I hope that smilemercantile forgives me too! ^_^ If one of you buy it, I know they will! LOL
     The reason I'm 'pouring it on' today is not just because I wanna talk about myself...although I never run from doing that, do I?! ^_^ But you can blame Melissa of LazyDaisyCrochet this time! ^_^ 
     Melissa nominated me for an award...the One Lovely Blog award! :-) 

          
         Thank you Melissa!...But in order to follow the rules of the award, I have to tell you seven things about myself...in other words, 'pour it on'! LOL
      I almost don't know where to begin, because I've told you practically everything about myself already! But here goes!...

1. My husband says I'm very witty and he loves my smile...that's the answer I got from him when I asked him what things I could share with you this time :-) ...so the first thing I wanna tell you is that my 'picker' was very good 30 something years ago, when I was choosing a life partner! :-) And to let you know how good my 'picker' was...I couldn't stand my husband! YUCK! What an annoying guy I thought he was! Ha! Ha!...Thankfully I got out of my own way and let my 'picker' (my better judgement) do it's thing!!! ^_^

2. Blogging and talking comes so easy to me!...It boggles my mind why, because my brain barely works when I have to focus it on something exacting where I have to be very specific about what I'm going to say!...or when I have to remember what I did five minutes ago! LOL I guess the 'stream of consciousness' thing works for me. 

3. I have paid to be a lifetime member of three different exercise gyms in my life...None of them exist anymore, but here I still am...as under-exercised as a girl can get! LOL And, by the way, I LOVED exercising!!...I didn't love having to get up so early to travel to the gym,...and I didn't love some of the outfits I had to wear, and I didn't love a lot of the silly equipment I had to use...remember the cellulose wooden rollers that were suppose to beat up your cellulose and release it?! LOL...Ugh! After using that machine, leaning my tummy up next to it for what seemed like hours, the only thing that was beat up was me!....and I was itchy besides!...*shaking my head*...Here's the machine I'm talking about, the Walton Massage Roller...

4. I love the texture of my own hair...when I put heat to it, 'straightening' or 'relaxing' it, it's very silky. Whereas when it's wet, it's extremely curly! ^_^ I have saved tons of money during the years, just wetting my hair and putting 'products' (Vitapointe) on it, to make it shine. People thought I was paying hair salons lots of money to get those shiny curls! ^_^ ... On the flip side though, when my wet hair dries...YIKES! It's really tangly and hard to comb out! I usually have to re-wet it before I comb it out, when it's curly...Also, the gray hairs that have come in over the years don't have a different texture than my other hair...although I think that usually it does with most people. I'm thankful! :-]

5. I can name all 66 books of the Bible from memory...in order...in less than 60 seconds...Sometimes, when the brain is having a really good day, I can do it in 50 seconds! :-) ...Why?! LOL I had a 6 year old Bible student who I was trying to teach the books of the Bible. She asked me if I could name all of them without looking... O_O... I couldn't....so now I can...and really fast!! ^_^ Sometimes you teach....sometimes you learn! :-)

6. I secretly wish I could come by all of your houses, for at least one hour every week, to have a sit-down Bible study with you, free of charge of course! ^_^ ...Oh, the fun we would have! Just thinking about the conversations and the laughter that would ensue makes me smile. :-) ...Okay...it's out! Ha! Ha! It makes you almost thankful that my health doesn't allow me to get to your house, right?!

7. I have an ear for accents...and mimic them easily. Not necessarily well...but easily. Breaking into a Jamaican accent, with accompanying phrases of Jamaica, has given my husband a wealth of entertainment over the years! ^_^ But my Spanish, English and Southern accents have been fun for him too!...or at least he says they have. He could be laughing 'AT', not 'WITH', me for all I know! O_O ...Wha-tever-man!! ^_^

      So there you go!...It's all poured out! And now, something pretty...


        ...and I need a nap! LOL...Have a good day, Everybody! :-)

    1. Hi Dee! :-) You know what's funny?! My husband had never heard the story about the wooden roller or seen the machine! He was cracking up laughing at the idea that anyone would pay money to put themselves through what he called "torture"...Ugh! The things we do for the release of fat! LOL...As to the accents, maybe I'll have to do another vlog sometime so you can hear my accents! ^_^ ... And thanks about the poem too. It's an 'oldie' but one of my 'goodies'. LOL Have a good week!

  4. How much fun to learn all that about you!! And I love Velma's idea of a vlog! I'll be looking forward to that... :-) You had me laughing out loud with that exercise machine. It made me itchy just reading about it. ;-) Have a wonderful evening! Hugs, Silke

    1. ^_^ I'm glad you enjoyed it, Silke. But believe me, that wooden contraption was not fun. Not fun at all!!...Have a good rest of the evening...and keep an eye out for the 'accent vlog'! ^_^

  5. Deb, you are welcome in my home any time..accents and all! (bring hubby too!) I think you sound amazing and fun and it would be great to meet all my blog buddies. I think we all need to take time to say that we love ourselves. We bash ourselves so easily and yet we have so much to be thankful for....love the poem!

    1. Hi Yaya! :-) Oh how I would love to set my eyes personally on the whispering pines! And I know that you and I would have some deep and hilarious conversations too! :-)) Maybe one day, Yaya. Maybe one day!...And you're absolutely right about us all taking time to love ourselves too. People sure spend enough time talking about how they're 'this' is too fat and they're 'that' is too big, they're 'this is not perfect enough, and they're 'that' is not as good as some celebrity's or the other! How much nicer it would be if we could be honest about it all, yet, but not so down-grading. I hope my poem helps someone to do that. :-) Thanks for the nice words about it from you. Have a good rest of the evening, Yaya.

  6. I think I would like it if you were able to come and visit. I can just imagine the fun we would have! Although its a long way to travel for just one hour you may need to stay a lot longer :D

    1. Oh Yeah, I KNOW you and I would have some fun! We'd have deep conversations and then some time to share crochet techniques and patterns. :-) I'd definitely need to stay a long time! ^_^ So much fun!!...And I really wanna visit Australia! I think I'd sleep great there. I seem to be on Australia time most of the time now! LOL
