Book Of Likes Faces

I was dropping off an overnight bag for my son and met my elder Millennial friend in a parking lot. I pulled up next to his car window and as I rolled mine down, my GenX heart was tingling with excitement for this moment I’ve been waiting for as I proceeded to ask if he had any Grey Poupon. He stared at me blankly. Long awkward pause. Then he asked if he needs to pick up whatever that is for the sleepover. Noooooo! So sad. My kids also don’t understand why I start laughing hysterically when I ask them to get meat from the freezer and I hear them yelling ‘where’s the beef!’ *sigh* I know you all would be laughing with me and ready with some Grey Poupon!

My neighbor informed me yesterday that his wife is now as poorly as I’ve been. And, now today I’m told she has Covid. All the times I’ve had tonsilitis in the past it’s gone after 7-10 days, but 3 weeks in and I’m still not well. So off I went to the pharmacy to get some Covid tests. I don’t have it, again, but I have a suspicion that I actually did recently and that the 2 tests I did were dodgy. Would’ve gone by now but I thought it better to check, just in case. I don’t need you anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists to start again either!

I ordered Shanna a “fancy” dress for my sisters wedding on Etsy, and almost 3 weeks later it still hasn’t shipped! I made sure I ordered it in the time frame estimated for shipping so I would have it in time and the seller's communication has been lacking to say the least. Also, I am PMSing. Feeling pissy!!

If I could switch careers right now and start a new one that I woke up every morning excited to do, I would no change anything? I enjoy promoting/marketing, helping others succeed, and helping others in general. But, I do like trying new fields and learning new traits firsthand. Really been considering putting myself out there more for growth lately. You’re never too old to learn new things. If you know of anything out there like classes, trade exhibits, conferences, industry events, workshops, or anything interesting to widen my horizons let me know. I feel like i never know about local events until they have passed. You never know what’s out there or what your fullest potential is until you try.

I've got some things to say to the dark headed boy on a bicycle with a black backpack with NIKE on the back of it....STAY AWAY FROM THE HIGH-RISE...POLICE HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED SO IF WE DON'T SEE YOU...THEY WILL....YOU DON'T HAVE NO DADDY LIVING HERE!!!

Nameless person: "So, you dared to unfriend me just because I'm a Donald Trump supporter?" Me: "Um, NOPE, I do not care who you support. I unfriended you because of your incessant need to share extremely rude and degrading memes." Nameless person: *dead silence*

I grew up eating alot of Fried Potato Sandwiches ( I call them "Taters"). Just fry up your potatoes, and season them however you like. I use garlic powder and seasoning salt, onions, and maybe throw in some bell peppers, sometimes. Drain the grease, take 2 pieces of bread, spread some ketchup on them, (or whatever you like to top them with. I use ketchup), and put about 2-3 heaping tablespoons of the potatoes between the bread. Just a cheap meal idea, but tastes really good! I always liked them alot, and when I was grown, I made them for my kids, and they love them to this day and they're grown and still eat them. My middle son mentioned them in High School one day and his friends had never heard of them. I sent some fried potatoes, bread and ketchup with him to school the next day, his classmates all tried it, and it was actually a hit! #foodforthought

Happy 5th Anniversary to my wonderful husband, You are my heart and soul, my better half, and the support that keeps me steadfast. I appreciate all that you are and the blessings we see all the time from our mutual faith in the Lord. The friendship we have and the partnership we share are simply inexplicable. Thank you not only for your love but more importantly for being lovable. ❤ I thank you whole-heartedly for being my best friend, my better half, my strength, and one of the kindest people I have ever came across on this earth! I adore you for working so hard and never giving up. Even when you feel like life is kicking you backwards..you ALWAYS push forward! You see the best in people even when they don't deserve your loyalty. You're there when people come running even tho they were shady towards you. You almost always have that contagious smile on your face & make everyone around you laugh. You love with all of your soul and have such a huge heart. And...so much more! I am nothing short of blessed to have you to share this life with. I never imagined that after five years, that I'd still want to know A LOT more about you. I still want to know what goes on in your inspiring heart, mind, and soul and I still want you to share them with me just like you always do. I still want you by my side every time. I still want to see your face every day. Being married to you has not in the slightest way changed the way I feel about you. In fact, it has only made our mutual love stronger & deeper. I still want all of it, and I want more. Thank you for giving me the married life that I have always dreamed about. Thank you for being the husband that I want and need. You have given your life to help and encourage others and have taught me how to be a fighter, to be loving and caring, to be fair, and to always to be humble (and that life on earth is temporary, and we take nothing with us from here). Besides God Himself, you're my rock & encourager... my Soul-mate! I am so proud of you! #marriage xoxo

So much can change in a moment. A month ago Mom fell at her house and broke her hip. It was terrible but we were teasing her the next day that she’d not wanted to get it replaced but now she had no choice. She did well through surgery but within 2 days she had a massive series of strokes that were debilitating affecting the opposite side as the hip. She’s been in the hospital in Evansville the last month and she is moving to rehab closer to home tomorrow. Please say a prayer for her. This next part of her journey is so important to help her quality of life. When she gets home we are going to need some CNA support so if you know anyone that works privately, please private message me. We will be looking to set up some support for her. Mom is a strong lady and we love her dearly. It is so hard to watch the ones we love struggle and not be able to fix it for them.

So you think no one eats their pets? Well let me tell you a story of my pet rabbit. I won a rabbit at the fair and my boyfriend had a rabbit cage so I left it over there and would feed it after school. Few weeks later he tells me my rabbit “done died” (an Aerosmith reference). A few months later his mom offers me some stew/soup, I was skinny and a very very picky eater, always claimed I was on a diet because I didn’t like a lot of foods (I’ve gotten over that). Anyway I accepted a bowl of soup. I was chowing down as she watched me and she asked if I liked it, I nodded and said yes it was very good then she told me it was rabbit stew. I’m sure the look on my face was enjoyable for her as I had expressed many times I wasn’t interested in eating rabbit, squirrel etc..but I’d eat a hot dog like a champ. It wasn’t until much later did I reflect and realize those M-Fers killed and froze my pet rabbit for dinner at a later date. So yes, pets can and will be eaten. This is a true story.

To the person that drives the black and yellow rumble bee truck that pulled out in front of me onto Northwest Avenue by Starbucks earlier this evening, yes I did blare my horn at YOU!!! However, you did wrong and you had absolutely no reason to try to chase me down like a moron...I almost went off the road to avoid hitting you!! I mean I don't know if you got scared or what but as soon as I pulled up to my dad's house, you sure took off like a dog with his tail tucked! What you did was dangerous and uncalled for. You could have seriously injured or even killed someone, your road rage is SHAMEFUL!!!!

I don’t usually get down with sweets but lately life has been hitting that way. I am enjoying my treat of mascarpone, cream cheese, powdered sugar, whipped heavy cream, chocolate chips, vanilla extract, espresso powder. I’m sure this could be fashioned into some layered dessert but I am happy to just dip.

There are people who, no matter how much evidence is presented to them, are not in the capacity to understand because of being blinded by brainwashing/gas-lighting, hatred, ego, resentment, jealousy, etc. When their ignorance screams, then wisdom is silent and moves on.

When I was 5 we lived in northern Iowa, where my dad had grown up. Every Saturday night we went out to dinner with my grandma who lived in the next town. On the 20 minute drive home I would always pretend to fall asleep. My dad would scoop me up out of the car and carry me upstairs to bed. I loved the security of being in my father’s protective arms, with my face in the crook of his neck and the smell of Aqua velva on his shirt.

I spend thousands from my money I saved from so many years of work just to take care about my hair❤️ .+. Sometimes I get good vibes from people who said "Nice Hair Girl". And then I see it pays off because it brings a great feeling to me and it makes me feel great too.
