If you could live anytime in the past when would it be and why?

I have always been attracted to the late 1800's to about 1900 but the Pioneers are my favorite.

I love to read about this time period, watch movies about it etc.

Not sure why? Maybe because life was simpler, family was number one and quality time was abundant.

Cramming all your stuff in a wagon and heading toward a better life just appeals to me...what can I say.

Though it does look like a tight fit ;)




I think the you would realize that stuff is just that...stuff.

To to think things like a ribbon was a luxury. How far we have come....in a lot of ways in the wrong direction.

Many pioneers lived in sod houses...can you imagine?



That being said I think I would love it....

What period of time would you want to live in?

Personality quirks and some old pics :)

Someone asked if I had a pic of my moms dress. This is about the best I have....most of her wedding pics burned up in a housefire.

It is so pretty and considering it was 29 years ago I think she did a great job. It had a very Grace Kelly feeling. I would have worn it but the length and sleeves were to short and it was snug through the ribcage and I didn't want to have to change anything about it. I loved it just as it was. It is a lot pretty than most dresses from the late 70's.



A old pic I thought was sweet of me and my youngest brother. He was almost a year old at the time. He was so little due to his health problems. He was being feed through a tube :(

I like it though because it is sooo strange to me how genetically we can look so different but we have a lot of the same health issues...genetics are STRANGE.

Okay, on to other stuff.

I have realized throught the course of the day, as I have been going through Houston's clothes to see what I can pass down to my friend's son and what works for this next year just how OCD I am.

I knew I had an issue with buying multiples with food but apparently I do it with clothes.

There were multiple shirts that I apparently bought at different times...that were exactly the same.

I also have the tendency to by the same thing but in different colors. He has 8 pairs of the exact same shorts in different colors :O

I also realize that appartently buried somewhere in my DNA code I am a long lost Duggar...I even have a picture to prove it...I will post it in a bit...anyway.

I somehow seem to forget while cooking,etc. that we are only a family of 3. See these....Houston and I made cupcakes...

These 7 would have be suffient...well I have 17 more :P


(PS He helped frost ;) )

I don't know why I do this...I don't do it conciously...???

Anyone else have any wierd quirks..???

And as promised...Jade as a long lost duggar...and yes my mother made that dress :P

Waiting on the meatloaf to cook

A few pics and some bloggity blogging.

A rare recent pic of me....


And a recent pic of the purple hair...it goes from a lot of messy towels to......

that pretty purple :)

I am sitting her waiting on the meatloaf to finish cooking the potatos,corn and mac and cheese are cooked.Meatloaf is a family favorite. I know it it a love it or hate it thing...we love it..with lots of peppers and veggies in it.The more the better it is!

Running a little late because we went over to play a friend. I had a blast. Great to visit with an adult :)

Houston and his buddy played good too...as good as a 6 yr old girl and 4 yr old boy play:)

Watching Hell's Kitchen...man what a trainwreck but yet I watch:)

Got a series from Movie Stop when I traded in my Season 4 of Grey's called Miracles that looks pretty good. We shall see.

I watched a Dr. Who marathon during my treatment. It was good. Probably go to the mail branch of the library and check on out tomorrow.

Oh Houston made me proud. He could read all the sightwords on the box when my friend asked him...**sniff**sniff. He is getting so big!

I know this is some borning blogging but it's been a long day, it is raining and Jeremy is doing pricing so he is having to work late:P

My brain is shot :)
