THOSE WERE THE DAYS......

I was recently tagged by The Purple diva herself...you know over at Purple Diva's Diary I recently found her blog and it's awesome...and I was also tagged by my friend Heather who I love to visit because her blog is cool and she always makes me feel welcome. Go say "hi" to her at Sugar n Spice mostly nice.


The tag was for 10 honest things about me...so I decided to twist it up a bit...here is what I came up with.....

10 things I can't do anymore:

#1 Touch my Toes....okay to be perfectly honest I can't even see my toes....but I really hate to admit it.
#2 Read any print smaller than a stop sign without my reading glasses....and yes if you must know...I do wear them on a pearl chain around my neck. Think....."your 2nd grade teacher".


#3 Wear a thong. Yeah...like my butt was ever built for a thong. Butt floss is not an option...never was...never will be.

#4 Oogling young hot guys. Lets face it...when you are old enough to be their mother....you start to feel a wee bit CREEPY.



#5 Walk in high heels. And at my age...you don't have to anymore. And while we're on the subject. What is with those witch shoes....and why would anyone want their feet to look THAT LONG????



#6 Eat large quantities of really unhealthy food without getting FAT. Remember when you were young and actually had a METABOLISM?

#7 Cough, Sneeze, or Laugh without leaking. I know all you youngins are snickering....JUST YOU WAIT!


#8 Be able to think or function at all, with less than 8 hours of sleep. I prefer 10 if I can get them. And even then I need a nap during the day.




#9 Wear Spandex... At least without frightening small children. (I know a picture of a woman would have fit my story better....but I ♥ me some Nacho Libre!)


#10 Remember even simple things....like what I needed to get at the store, what I did yesterday, how to find my way home, my husbands name...........


So there it is....10 awful truths. And since we're on the subject....(nice segue coming)....What's NOT awful is getting really cool awards from nice people like Amy over at Business Matters I'm new to her blog but I love visiting there. She bestowed this very nifty award.

And Heidi who is a real sweetheart and always has something fun happening over at her place at Adventure Girl Wannabe was kind enough to think of me with an award.

If you haven't been over to the ultra chic and uber fab blog "Even the Nice Ones" then go over for goodness sake. Just look at this glam award she so kindly gave me!

And my good friend Carolynn at A glowing Ember gave me this beauty. She paints the most amazing pictures with her words...she writes these deep posts that always get me thinking...which usually makes my brain hurt...but I like it!


Thanks ladies. I really appreciate you thinking about me for these wonderful awards. And thank you all for stopping in to read my nonsense! You all just make me smile!
