Thanks for doing the meme Ruthie. I thinks it's so fun to learn these silly/wierd things about each other. The knife injury sounds gross.
This was fun to read about you Ruthie! LOL about the push up remark!!
I never tire of reading these! Fun filled factoids about you Ruthie. :c)
Hi Lynne,
It was gross and hurt a lot too, but I learned another valuable lesson about safety in the kitchen!
Thanks Shelley, I'm glad I could give you a chuckle.
Thanks Jayne, for passing this meme on to Lynne.
These are fun facts about you Ruthie. I am wondering just what they consider slippers? Does that mean houseshoes? I can see already I would fail this test. Ha..
I laughed when I saw how much clothes you had on. I would DIE wearing all those layers. Aren't you ever going to start having hot flashes???? Life is SO not fair :(
Your (extremely tropical) Sissy
Crocs don't count... they aren't even shoes ;)
Alaska... you must go! I know, extend your California vacation and we'll head up to Alaska together :) I need to go back there again!
Ya gotta go to Alaska. Anybody who likes the great outdoors is required to visit. We drove up and back with a pop up and spent 3 weeks there about 10 years ago.
Ruthie, I'm shocked you said Alaska. Aren't you dreaming of a Bahama vacation? Sun, surf, Coppertone, fancy drinks with little umbrellas?
Hey, I thought you said you won't be posting much this week. What's up with THAT? I can't keep up.
That was great Ruthie, thanks for sharing. And of COURSE Crocs count as slippers! That's my main "around the house" shoe, so I consider them slippers. Crocs rawk!
Hi Lisa,
I suppose slippers have a different meaning for everyone--probably flip-flops could even be considered as slippers, right?
Hey Sissy, you're the nurse--you tell me!! Could it by my clean living, all those supplements I take every day, or maybe it's just that fact that I'm naturally COOL! :-D
Hi Red,
Will you go with me if I go by motorcycle? That's the trip I really want to take. We met a couple from Illinois years ago who were on their big bike towing a camper and on their way back from spending the entire summer in Alaska.
Hi Troutbirder,
Everyone I know who's been to Alaska has told me the same thing....guess I'd better Alaska on the top of my "bucket list."
Oh Mary, as weird as it sounds, if given a choice on trips, I'd always choose "North" over "south."
I must have gotten used to working harder after the first week, because I seem to have gotten back on track this week. Why, I even got my birdJam all loaded on the iPod the other night!
Hi Heather,
Glad you enjoyed it. I have winter and summer Crocs--they are definitely my most comfortable shoes (even if they are goofy looking)
Four shirts and you're still freezing? Time to turn up the heat!

I really enjoyed reading this post, particularly the part about the smiley car. It just goes to show how little acts of kindness can really brighten someone else's day. I believe if we all adopted an attitude of looking out for kindness opportunities each day, then we could transform this world into one where each of us treated
'strangers as our other half,
where nothing was too much
for the well-being of another
and selfishness was forgotten,
a thing of the past.'
(from my book 'Family and More - Enemies or Friends?')
Thank you for sharing this.
