What makes me tick?

My brother and I were eating together yesterday at a memorial service. They had a lunch that was a buffet style. He brought up things he knew about me that makes me , well me. He said I liked ham. Not too bad since I had a ham sandwich on my plate. Everything he said was correct. That got me thinking about all the little things that people do that makes them who they are.
Things that make my world go round.

1. I like to take hot showers. I come out all red. I like a nice hot shower, but this can be bad. When I camp and have to use a public shower, I find myself freezing because it’s not scalding hot.
2. I also tend to sing in the shower. Not all the time, but it seems to be only 2 or 3 songs that I sing over and over.
3. I am terrible at picking out something nice to wear. I never get it just right. I end up with half my clothes on the bed after trying things on until something works.
4. I don’t wear much makeup. I am not very good at makeup and don’t know why it cost so dang much. I like to keep it simple. I hate lipstick. It always comes off and I can’t see a guy wanting to kiss a girl that has globs of it on. There is something wrong with a product that can stick to a drinking glass even after being washed in the dish washer. No need to say more.
5. I vacuum too much. I hate a dirty floor. Depending on my time I can vacuum daily to once a week. I don’t think I can stand it any longer than that. I will find a blade of grass on the carpet and that gets me thinking. What else has been dragged in? When you see how much I pick up with all that vacuuming, you would understand why I do it so often.
6. I don’t mind doing laundry. Putting it away is a different story. I wash everything. I have a towel on the couch so the dogs don’t get it dirty. I wash that all the time. I take down the curtains and wash them. Bathroom rugs…. I could go on and on.
7. I hate doing dishes. I don’t like anything about it.
8. I like making dinner. I don’t make anything fancy, but I would rather eat home cooked food than eat out all the time. I don’t like cleaning up after dinner.
9. Like to bake things. Bread, cookies, and cupcakes. I bake something and give it all away to co-workers and friends. It makes me feel good when they are happy I baked something for them.
10. I like to make a homemade vegetable soup and bake homemade bread to have with it. Yummy.
11. I like to plant flowers. Everything looks better with flowers. I want a house with a lush green yard.
12. I would like a chunk of land with a lush yard, big old shade trees, and a koi pond. I want a big garden and maybe a duck to swim in the pond.
13. I like to grow a garden. I am always frustrated that I have such a small junky area to grow a garden right now. One day I will have a great garden.
14. I would rather have a bowl of strawberries than a bowl of ice cream for dessert.
15. I don’t care for chocolate that much. If something is dipped into it or it’s inside something then it’s ok. I could never eat a Heresy’s chocolate bar. A Heresy’s kiss it too much for me.
16. I like to take pictures. I just snap away at anything I like. Mostly its trees, flowers, my dogs, and motorcycles racing.
17. I like the mountains better than the beaches. I would much rather go to a lake than the ocean.
18. My favoriate thing to do at Bass Lake is float on a raft all day.
19. I like to take the waverunner out on the lake, but it’s old and the lake is rough. This makes for a bouncy wet ride. I wake up and hit the lake right at the time you can go any speed. The lake is like glass. I love to take a spin around the lake smelling people cooking breakfast and the pine air.
20. I am a firm believer that bacon makes anything taste better.
21. I am always cold and love a good quilt to cuddle under after a long day of work.
22. I wear flip flops all summer long. I hate to go back to work, because I have to put shoes on again.
23. I like to wear different charms on a necklace, and change them often.
24. I want to travel as much as I can and see all that there is to see.
25. I have never put a limit on what I can do. If I want to do something, then I will find a way and work hard to get it. Life is what you make of it.
26. I love my family.
27. I am who I am. I don’t put up a front. What you see is what you get. I don’t care what someone thinks of how I look when I come off the track. I will be sweaty, hot, hair a mess, and stinky from over 100 degrees all day in a leather suit. :-)
28. I have a hard time making girl friends. Most don’t like to do what I like to do. I am always looking for a girl to hang with.
29. If you become a friend of mine, you are a friend for life. I will always be there for you.
30. I enjoy a nice day with the sun on my face. The sound of the birds and the smell of the grass.
31. I almost forgot, I also like to watch boxing on TV.
That's it for now. Hope you learned a little something about me.

I like to bake cookies.




I love planting flowers

My yummy vegetable soup.
