Mamacita says: what’s the hurry, anyway?
1. I have never used an ATM machine. I have a feeling it would be the beginning of a bad personal habit.
2. I still have never watched a single Survivor-type show. Still not interested.
3. Ditto for Oprah, and even less interested.
4. The Christmas wreath is probably still on the front door; we never use the front door, so I really couldn’t tell you for sure. If you stop by, and the wreath is still there, please lift it down and lean it against the porch wall. I’ll no doubt find it when I hide the Easter eggs.
5. I’d like to tell you all that I still haven’t ever peeked at the answers in the back of a crossword puzzle book, but the fact is, I did. Last week. So much for that claim to fame. Only once, though.
6. I still haven’t outgrown my fascination with and liking for Spencer Gifts.
7. I still enjoy the electronics section of a store more than the clothing section.
8. I’m sorry, but I still snort when teachers get all excited while they tell me about fascinating new and innovative theories or techniques for student engagement that are nothing but recycled and renamed old stuff that’s being marketed and sold as something that will definitely work even though it failed miserably the first few rounds. On second thought, I’m not really sorry. I’m just kind of amused and judgmental.
9. I still haven’t gotten tired of reading and re-reading the Harry Potter books. Every time I re-read a beloved book, I discover something new. I know most of them by heart now. I usually try to memorize literature I love; then I’m never without it. If you are a teacher who doesn’t believe in memorizing, there’s nothing much you could have to say that would make any impression on me because you’re a lazy idiot please go sit somewhere else because you smell really, really bad.
10. I’ve never had a root canal, and I hope I haven’t cursed myself by putting that in writing.
My visiting friend used an ATM for the 1st time while chauffeuring me around town this weekend; of course it was my atm card and not her account.
Husband had root canal last month and, dental phobic to a fault, he was panic stricken up to the date of the surgery which didn’t really bother him at all. Not much swelling; aspirin took care of the pain; recovery was quick and painless. Still, I’m not sure it’s something to look forward to 🙂
And memorizing piece of literature makes me smile. My 27 year old son can still recite chapters of books he read in middle school… I love to listen and bask in the glow.
Thanks for a lovely smiley post, Mamacita!

I think I’ve had your root canal, so don’t worry. You’re probably safe. I had my first one at 18 and my second one at 26. Here’s hoping I’m done for a long, long while. By the way, they were both a tremendous relief due to the pain I was in, and nothing was as bad as the pain before the root canal. Believe me. Before the root canal, I would have gladly taken (and once did take) Vicodin. After both procedures, I was prescribed Vicodin and never took it either time because to be out of the immense pain I had previously been in was such a relief that no other pain came close, so I was fine with ibuprofen.

CRAP! You just reminded me that my wreath is still on the door! Adding that to my to-do list today!

I refuse to watch those shows–or the so-called reality ones either. I laughed myself silly over #8. Oh, YES!! I do agree.

Wow. You had me at number one. Maybe they are a bad habit, but I can barely imagine getting by without them.
I’ve never watched survivor, but I’ve seen Oprah for a few minutes here and there. She never really grabbed me. When she started running that Waiting for Superman crap I really felt smart for being indifferent to her, and grew to dislike her.
Root canals aren’t nearly as bad as they used to be, but I wish you luck with your streak anyway.
