29. Who wears the pants in the family? LOL! I plead the 5th on that one! I'll answer this way...He wears pants & I wear skirts!  LOL!!

30. How did you meet?  Oh boy!  Here we go!  My older sister was married to his younger brother & we met at their reception.  Does that sound like a hillbilly song or what? LOL!!  He was 21 & I was only 16.  We started dating about 6 months after that...when I was old enough for him.  Yeah!  17!(?)  LOL!  And we've been together ever since!  How romantic-like!

Okay there's our story, in a nutshell.  Now let's hear yours!

My Skirts

I went to Walmart to grocery shop and look what I came home with! 

Fabric for more skirts!

Q.  If you don't mind me asking, which pattern do you use for your skirts? I really like them.

Blessings, sara

A.  The pattern I use is Simplicity #6730.  I also use this pattern to make skorts for my girls.  I use the pattern for the pants (making them into long shorts) and then I use the pattern for the straight skirt to go over top of the shorts to make skorts.  You could also use the A-line skirt pattern for the skirt that goes over top the shorts.

How Old Am I?

You Act Like You Are 17 Years Old

You are a teenager at heart. You don't quite feel like a grown up yet, but you don't feel like a kid. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. You're quite rebellious, and you don't like being told what to do. You like to do things your way. You have your own unique style, taste in music, and outlook on life.

WIFD Day 7

Today is the last day.  This is actually more difficult that I thought it would be!  Most of my clothing looks exactly the same.  Like my skirts are all made from the same pattern.  They are just made of different color fabrics.  I guess it's my "uniform".

Today's schedule:

Tuesday

• Bible Study & coffee
• Dishes
• Dusting
• Windex all computers, t.v.s, mirrors, & glass doors
• Windex all tables & counters
• Get groceries
• Ashley does her laundry
• Take girls swimming at Y from 5:30-6:30
• Supper

Sorry there are no "action" shots today.  Most of my cleaning duties are done before I get dressed & eat breakfast.  If I don't do them first thing in the morning, they won't get done.  I tell myself that I have to work before I get to play (computer!)

Today's dress:

Some happenings today

Anyone out there got a good recipe for squirrel stew? LOL!!!

As I was walking through my kitchen to the laundry room I noticed out the window that there was a squirrel digging in my tomato plants!!!! 

Last week there was a rabbit on the back deck munching on them so I put them on top of my patio table so they won't get eaten.  Now I have squirrels!  UGH!!

*************************************

Last night I spent some time browsing some Xanga sites.  I found one that was really interesting to me so I browsed through the posts.  This blog was written by a woman who is married, the mother to 2 small children and she is also deaf.  She is also a plain dressing mennonite which is what caught my interest.  I was curious to see if she has always been mennonite or if she & her husband had chosen this path so I browsed through all her posts hoping to find an introduction post that would tell me more about her.  Well, I got to her very first post and didn't find the answer.  I didn't even read most of what she had written.  She has alot of pictures, which I always like to look at on anyone's blog, and some good links to other sites that I want to check out.

She PMed me on my Xanga blog and asked what was up with me browsing though her whole blog.  She wondered if I was looking for something or if I was just THAT interested in her writings.  She said that my browsing disturbed her because no one has ever done that before. 

That poor lady! 

She now thinks that I am some kind of weirdo!  I PMed her back and told her who I was, what I was about, that we were currently taking a sign language class and that I mean her no harm.  Hopefully she will have a better opinion of me once she reads my message to her and not think that I'm some kind of stalker who is out to snatch her children from their front yard.
