Things in Life that I know are True.*

• Spring in Northern Virginia is beautiful.  It never ceases to amaze me how green and lush everything is after a long winter of brown and dull.
• The older I get the more I realize that my Gramma really had life figured out.  Or at least knew a few secrets.
• Even though Widget can be a brat he does make a good alarm clock.  This was solidified into fact yesterday morning when Matt set our alarm for 4:30PM instead of 4:30AM and we needed to be up and out of the house at 5:00AM.  Widget saved the day by hopping up on the bed and meowing at me at 4:40.
• Matt is wonderful.
• Coke is just a little bit better than Pepsi.  Just a little.
• He who walks first down the beach finds the best skipping stones.
• A hug will make any day just a little bit better.
• The older I get the more I find myself liking things I hated as a child – even though I still feel like a kid inside.
• Few things in life are as awesome as drinking a tasty cold beer on a humid summer night while sitting on the porch watching the fireflies light up their little butts.
• Coloring will always be one of my favorite things.
• To forgive is easier than to forget.
• Slipping into a warm bubble bath helps shed a bad day – it’ll go right down the drain with the water when all is said and done.
• I can’t control what other people do but I can control my actions and reactions.
• Freckles really ARE kisses from the sun.
• I am naked under my clothes.  And so are YOU!
• On the naked note – animals are little nudists, they walk around au natural all of the time.  Kind of not fair.
• Some questions will never have answers – and even if a question does have an answer it doesn’t necessarily make it the correct one.
• Senses of humor are like fine wines – they only get better with age.  Well, most of the time.
• Big Cheez-Its taste better than regular size Cheez-Its.  True story.
• It can always be worse but that doesn’t make a problem any less significant.  A problem is a problem, big or small.
• I may be "too nice" but it’s better than being a bitch.
• Christmas socks are better than any other kind of sock.

I could probably do this nonsense all day but I won’t. 🙂  Later taters.

Found out the online store for KangaROOS was closing so they had a lot of their shoes really cheap plus free shipping.  Found a pair that I liked and thought that they would be mostly tan with a bit of green.  But then I opened up the box…

These are awesomely delightful and I KNOW that is true:



Best surprise I’ve had in a while. 🙂
