5 Things No One Would Know About You From BFP Alone

[Gráinne]

Like Lynn, I have found an "attitude of gratitude" lifts me and keeps me humble and happy. I keep a gratitude journal, even the smallest things.

I still don't like the feeling of being left out, even from something happening on the other side of the planet.

I am on a program to work up to 200 push-ups, 100 situps, and 50 pull-ups. You don't want to know how many I started with.

Nothing makes me feel so old as reading that the NFL thought the Rolling Stones and the Who were "safe, family entertainment" for halftime .

I love a tidy, organized, beautifully decorated living space but can't seem to get there .

[Medusa]

1. I know most designers say you aren't supposed to paint a very small space a dark color but I intend to paint my teeny tiny office (10x10) a deep shade of eggplant and I don't really care how small it makes it look. I prefer closed, dark spaces anyway.

2. I've been known to eat frozen cool whip out of the container.

3. I used to love ketchup on everything but now I can only tolerate it on tater tots and it MUST be Heinz. Hunt's is vinegary and gross!

4. I wake up every day thankful to be alive. It is rare that I wake up in a crappy mood.

5. I prefer imperfection in almost everything.

do you remember the soap Fuzzie Wuzzie? I loved them!

pink snowball cupcakes in my lunchbox were the best!

I had a red vinyl gogo lunchbox. It had a mod girl on it who wore white gogo boots. My sister bought it for me

the Chosen Few motorcycle gang lived next door to us. We lived out in the country. So I would climb up on the chicken coup and watch them. What a sight. A ten year old spying on a biker gang ontop of a hen house! LOL

I had an angel visit me once who told me I had to decide then and there if I was going to be good or bad. I wont tell you what I decided....

[Andrew, Jr.]

*I love key lime pie.

*I love garlic. It goes with everything from pork, beef, chix, and shrimp.

*I love my animals dearly, more than people at times.

*I bless myself each and every day as a means of protection.

*I enjoy watching war movies the best.

1- if i am walking on a slippery surface, i have a habit of holding onto my pantleg with my left hand, on the outside of my thigh, really tight.. for some reason, holding my pantleg makes me feel more balanced so i won't fall.. yet, this is rarely the case.. (see #2) lol

2- if it can be dropped, it will go down and probably spill, break or go missing in the process.. if it can be tripped on, i'll most certainly find a way to do just that, and even have a way of tripping on thin air, i swear it.. it can be done LOL .. if there is a way to fall, i will do so, not gracefully that's for certain.. my legs in the air, my arms twisted around and some sort of funny face and noise to get people's attention so they don't miss my tumble... my name is sylvie - and i am a klutz! =)

3- i'm the definition of a Nosey Nellie.. there is a lil indent in my window blinds cuz when i hear a noise, or a commotion (and believe me, my neighbourhood gets alotta commotion LOL) i have my nose stuck out peekin.. i try to do so quietly, but there have been many times my blinds have come crashing down and the people i'm looking at look up and see me standing there like a goof.. YES! lol.

4- i don't like taking medication.. if there is a way around it, or a natural way of taking care of whatever ails me, i'll find it.

5- i love silver jewelry lovah!

[Lynn]

1. I want to go dancing.

2. I'm going to try to make lobster pot pie for dinner. I have to figure out a recipe.

3. Wedding planning is accelerating, and it is so damned fun! Etsy.com is my first stop on any shopping expedition.

4. For Valentine's Day, we both got pillows for each other! She bought new bed pillows and I got new pillows for the couch! There was other stuff, too, luckily. To me: chocolate covered strawberries and a day trip to Boston. To her, a wood file and desk organizer and a vintage leather dresser tray.

5. We have a mole living in the basement, under the water heater. I've seen it, but haven't been able to catch it. The cats aren't even interested, any more.

[bigbutchmistie]

1. I can write the most beautiful love letters and have a romantic soul. But that doesnt touch the surface of who I am

[sylvie]

1. when i eat pudding cups, i rarely use a spoon, i tear off the top, and squish the container and lick the pudding like a popsicle....

2. if someone drank out of it, or used their fork to grab some, or licked it, bit it, or put it anywhere near their mouth... i will not!! (even my own children, LOL) however, if it is someone i am with & kiss & love on, it won't bother me at all if they eat or drink off me..

3. i love to color... i have crayons, & coloring books, and often do it while watching television or even here while online at times.. it's relaxing, and fun!

4. i often pour candle wax up the inner side of my arms and love the quick burning sensation... i love feeling wax harden on my skin and then peeling it off and feeling the warmth where the candlewax once was....

5. i do believe turnip, is evil..

[Soft*Silver]

I bought the wrong dye so now I have purple highlights, not red. And I love it.

My daughter turns 27 this year and I finally feel like and old fart. And she better start giving me grandbabies. LOL

I really dont hold babies. I leave the room when someone walks in with a baby but I will make a clear exception when its my own grandbaby.

I have been sick so long I dont remember what well feels like. No, seriously. Its become normal for me.

I am going to see our local production of Mice and Men this weekend. My sister and my niece are going with me. I am also trying to drag my daughter with me.

[Lynn]

1. I faked being sick so often in school that I feel guilty every time I have to miss work or take a vacation day.

2. On FB I found an old high school bully who is now a feel-good, new age teacher/guru type. It's fascinating.

3. I have real affection for some of my former co-workers and people I have supervised. I feel sad when I realize that many of them aren't really invested in sustaining a connection.

4. Today, I refinanced my house and home equity loan. Saving hundreds a month. I am SOOO relieved.

5. more later...
