okay--so you and I have some important similarities, like a love for the gospel, but you're the only other person I've heard admit that they HAVE to clean their ears with a Q-tip as soon as they get out of the shower. It drives me crazy if I don't!

Jamie Dawn said...

My hubby uses NINE Q-tips after every shower. I am not kidding. He has some ritual that involves ears, belly button, nostrils... It's a nightmare!

Happy New Year!

Fred said...

Great list.

You can have my trampoline. Just give me your address, and I'll mail it. :) It's just sitting in the yard annoying the lawn guy who has to move it every week.

And, there's no other way than barefoot.

Happy New Year!

Anne said...

Paula - If I see that we're running out of Q-tips are start to panic.

Jamie Dawn - nine? I only use one per ear. How many is that? Oh wait, two.

Susie - Okay, I'm waiting.

liypoifm - Thanks for the tip. I'll head over to check it out.

Fred - I'm afraid it would annoy OUR lawn guy too - Hubby.

Happy New Year everyone!!!

Anne said...

Hmmm, a picture of hubby? I'll have to think about that - he may not be very happy with me if I do that. I don't have any digital pics of him either. I need to figure out this scanner of mine so I can post some of my conventional pics.

AJ has no pictures of me but plenty of Hugh Jackman. They are everywhere. She is living in a fantasy world. Playing piano without notes is a real thing. That's how I play. Since you already sing and play guitar and have an understanding of melody it should come easy to you.
I have a 1975 Les Paul that is worth a lot of money so I understand the guitar thing. We gotta go. Talk to you next year.

I loved your list... I like lists about people. I have a freakishly long list about me. Maybe I will send it to you if you ask me nicely. It is WAY too much to blog about in one post and who really cares anyway? Very few people.

One thing I thought was funny was the Q-tip thing. I am the same way. My doctor tells me that it
is not good to have your ears SO clean, but I don't care. It feels good and I can't stand the watery feeling in my ears, but nine Q-tips is a little weird. (I however, am totally normal in my world.)

I love polished nails-fingers and toes, especially my toes in the summer when they can see out in my flip flops.

I want to say a WHOLE lot more, but I have to go to a party in the real world with oxygen now. Good-bye Bloggers and Happy New Year. Hope you get some kisses at midnight.

Get all that junk off your table and maybe you could find it Messy Susie.

Do you mind if I do this on my blog? I hate to be a "thief"

:)

Anne said...

kish - go right ahead sweetie! I got the idea from another blogger. Can't remember who it was though.

keesh said...

Thanks. One day when I get a free minute I will, ha! i am swamped with bills, cleaning, re-ordering checks, ebay crap, taking care of my 3 year old child and my 35 year old child (ok, husband, ha :), thanks again!
