14 Things I Don't Miss from Childhood

Headless Mom is inspiring me again. She swiped it from Schmutzie  so in the spirit of Great Minds think alike,I'm going to try to make myself into a great mind and Think like they do. They seem to be a very good example. Swipe away if you like.

So this 40th Birthday of mine helped make this post seem very important. I think I'm starting to think I'm a real grown up with no chance of going back.
I do not miss... 

1.  Sharing the bathroom with my brother, but I have to say it gave me great practice for this house full.
2.  Going to bed early, I've become a night owl, but I like mostly being in control of bed time.
3.  Someone telling me what I should and shouldn't eat? or how much. Sure It's in my control to eat the whole box of cookies, I wont but now I can if I want
4.   Bringing home report cards. There is no report card for me anymore.
5.   Someone policing the TV!
6.   Someone policing my reading choices. If I want to read a smutty book I can, and yep I probably will
7.   Sharing the TV. I can tell my peeps to go to bed and weeeeeeeee it's mine all mine.
8.   Practicing Piano. I loved playing with the Piano but I Think the idea of being able to play was bigger than my skills.
9.    Bullies. I had my share of Bullies growing up, and I don't miss any of them. Some are now in Jail, oh well consequences there guys.
10.  Walking home in dresses! When I first started school it was the 70s and a time when some people thought girls should only wear dresses to school. I do not miss dresses and Hurricane force winds. And trying to get my overshoe (winter boots) over my indoor shoes.
11. Oh look I thought of another one, not picking out my own clothes.
12. Leotards (tights as they are known to other places)  Cold legs due to the stupid COLD winds.
13. Matching TAMS! and Little cute church coats. Why oh why? 
14.  Gym class.

10 Things I miss from Childhood

I totally swiped this idea from the Headless Mom :)

Since today is my Birthday I thought it was a great idea. So 10 Things I miss...

1. Cartoons with my younger brothers and sisters on a Saturday morning.
2. Sliding in the Snow during a storm, and coming in and out and in and out for new mitts, or waiting for my mitts to FREEZE enough so they weren't really "wet"
3. playing in the sprinkler or the wet banana slip and side.
4. having my Mom do my hair in braids. Yeah sure it hurt sometimes but I loved the kinks after we took them out.
5.  playing crazy 8's in my friends basement. I was really bummed when she moved away. Still haven't found her even on FB
6.  catching snow flakes on my tongue.
7.  Going to Visit my GM and then going next door to play with my cousins.
8. Vic 20 Games! 
9. Not having to buy Gas for my car.
10. Not paying bills.

only 9minutes left to this Birthday! I've enjoyed every Minute! 

Random Tuesday Thoughts, Milling it.

I'm here, yes I'm here on the treadmill, doing my Random bit for Random Tuesday Thoughts. Typing and walking is so challenging but I know if I don't even try, I'll never fit both the blogging and the treadmilling. (new word)

So link up over at Stacy's...



and join into the random crazy posting.

Today was Avon day. YAY! new packages. I may have bought myself a few things here and there. I'll have to find a pic of my ring. It's adorable! Christmas shopping is going to be so easy for ME! I don't even have to leave the house, it will all just show up.  Other people's gifts? Do you think Santa stuff's stockings with acne cleansers?   nah they probably still want toys right? oh well More for me!

So this past couple of months we've been working on the back deck. You remember the Man in the hole I was digging and filling in the back yard? it's almost full and now it has a deck over most of it. I'll still need to find more dirt.

Also the chair? had an event last week...

22minutes of treadmilling,so hard ot type straight. ha!! I'll have to get to a slower pace to add pictures.

what else is Random this week?

Has anyone started decorating? it was so warm this past weekend 15-17.5C breaking records even according ot the weather netowrk. not quite the Canadian November i'm used to. I know I'll be kicking myself for not decorating this past weekend when it's - crazy c next week.

hang on must run my butt for a bit ....


pa nt....

see slacked earlier today m ust make up...pant pant... .


good thing avon sells antipersprants...............

I've got a friend you remember Julie? momspective.com <-- she's  back) can hula hoop and text.. typing and milling is hard enough...

you know once that first 30 is done, I feel like I can keep walking but pre 30? I feel like a hampster in a torture wheel.

Good thing I used my avon eye make up remover before I got on here, I'd  be a raccoon now..... Oh look a hill!

I think I'll try movies tomorrow for hampster work.


I have to say I do like this Mill, it's better than being out in the -30C's I know are coming. What gets me the most frustrated is 9yrs ago? I'd be out no matter the temp walking my butt off and now a meer 3days to 40, and I'm whining. I think maybe too I had a lot more to crank on about then. Sleepless nights with yhoung kids, and of course i drank lots of coffee then?  now, tea is my day starter. Well it's now 1015pm time to end my Random Ramblings... I'll get you some pics. (random pic placing)

In case anyone needs to remember what kind of cake I want?

YES I want to be Spoiled!


I'm clicking the publish, I've now over stayed my treadmill 20minutes with photo hunting and linking.

fitting in the walking
