Uh-oh - I've done it now!! I've been tagged by Paula over under the Tum Tum Tree, Hi, Paula (waves hand using parade wave) and this one requires a lot of thought. And being my brain is usually a bit on the mushy side this time of year - well, you'll see. I wouldn't get an "A" on this one - I'm afraid I'd get an incomplete. So here goes:
Five Things I Just Don’t Get:
1. Why some people glory in the misery of others (Jane)
2. Why George Bush gets blamed for EVERYTHING including the weather.
3. Why people don’t RSVP when they are asked to. Don’t they understand what it means?
4. Why some folks have to stretch the truth to suit their needs (Jane)
5. Why everything I eat goes to my waistline.

3. "I think you should have the finest of 'whatever' you can afford." (said with sarcasm)
4. "But we've always done it that way."
5. “Mean spirited Republicans” (good one Paula. There are just as many mean spirited Democrats as Republicans. And just because we don’t want to give the farm away doesn’t mean we’re mean spirited!! So there!!)

Every time we bundle Gracie up, we tell her, "Put your arms down when you get to school!!" She has no clue what we're saying (she's too young for the movie), but she giggles anyhow.
"Meat loaf, beet loaf, I hate meat loaf!!" We say that one a lot too.
I'm so stoked that this year we're staying home. I can watch the 24-hour marathon of A Christmas Story all day if I want to!!
Dang right you better give it up about smuggling! Dish it!

WOW! You got to meet Sean Hannity!
"1. The “F” word – I absolutely hate hearing anyone use it, especially females. Show a total lack of any intelligence whatsoever"
I'm sorry I'm such a potty mouth, sniff,sniff...... it's one of my favorite words...when used in moderation, of course. Does this mean you only read 1 out of 10 of my posts??? I feel like Pond Scum..........I promise I won't use that word in Tombstone.....(unless someone else says it first)
Like Shear says..."wow, you got to meet Sean Hannity?" I love your post cards. I have a collection of over 2000 of them. Once I started buying them I couldn't stop. The ones with Santa are actually quite valuable for post card. You have a nice collection there.
