I'm not going to Hollywood!

    So my husband and I play games, silly games that I make up.  Well, actually I play the games, he goes along with them.  Our  My favorite game is American Idol.  The game play is simple, I sing a song, and he tells me if I've made it to Hollywood.  As of right now, I haven't made it to Hollywood ( punk!), even though my rendition of "Stand By Your Man" was pretty right on!!!

     Yesterday, I made up a new game "subliminal messages", because let's face it, how many times can one person's ego not be damaged because their not going to Hollywood for the 1,234th time???   I made up this game because I wanted to test the strength of our marriage and if we could really read each others minds.  I told him I would scream a word in my head and he would try to guess it or make a connection.  On the radio, "Smells Likes Teen Spirit" was playing.  I knew that Kurt Cobain's daughter's name was Frances Bean. So I screamed the word bean in my head.  I did this for one minute and then told him to say the first word that popped in his head.  And do you know what he said??  Blanket!!! It's a match!!! Ok, here's the connection.

 

  

+

= BEAN

+

= Blanket

Kurt Cobain: Singer, died, daughter name Frances Bean

Michael Jackson: Singer, died, son named Blanket

CONNECTION , right??? He thinks it's not (Punk) I proclaimed it a sign, and shouted  "we can read each other's minds!! Our love will last forever!!!"  He rolled his eyes.   

So I'm Back.....

Seven Things You Need to Know About Me

1. I am completing my degree in Elementary Education, and fulfilling my    lifelong dream of becoming a Elementary teacher. I was a preschool teacher/ Director for TOO many years :)

2.  I have a freakishly eerie photographic memory. I can tell you what you were wearing when you got detention in 9th grade French Class.  ( AB: a white and brown and blue plaid skirt with a white shirt and a white cloth headband, with white treetorns.) or my 1st grade teacher or your first grade teacher.  My head is full of useless facts and your useless facts too( If I knew you)! 

3.  Surprisingly, I have a horrible short term memory and I can not remember anything from my mid 20's to what I had for breakfast yesterday.

4.  The Coal-Miner's daughter is my favorite movie of all time, and I once watched it back to back.  " You're mama just wrote a song Betty Sue, your mama's a da'gum song writer"

5.  I am the worst speller ever!!!

6.   I've never met a stranger,and will talk to anyone who will listen, much to my husband's dismay. I will tell them ANYTHING! I just can't help it. I'm an open book.

7.  I love to read, and the year before last I read 54 books in a year. Last year I read 12 : ( 2009: pregnant  2010: infant/walking baby )

Thank you so much Ashley for nominating me.  I'm really thankful to have met you and I love your blog! Thanks for the newfound inspiration and menu ideas!
