ReplyDeleteYou scoop "tails up" pennies? Isn't that that breaking a mirror, or an entire hall of mirrors?
ReplyDeleteI'm laughing at MVD's comment.
ReplyDeleteYou're too funny, man!!!
I too pick up pennies. However, they must be face up.
* I wonder if I'm superstitious?
HA!
I don't hate my feet, but I hate feet in general. I just find them repulsive. I also can sleep anytime, anywhere. I feel you on that.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on #3 and #8. Don't know about #4, since I've never seen your feet.
ReplyDeleteWriter's Block,
ReplyDeleteI guess you must have been strapped in pretty well to live to tell about it.
MVD & Ron,
ReplyDeleteYou know, I used to just pick up the "heads up" ones but then I heard a sermon that said "if you avoid picking up a penny because you think it's worthless, then how can you ever think you'll live a life of abundance if you can't even appreciate the small gifts." From that day on, I picked 'em up.
However, I do mutter under my breath, "see a penny pick it up and all day long you'll have good luck."
Kim,
ReplyDeleteYes, in general, feet are gross. I don't get those foot fetish guys. EWWWW!!
Chris,
ReplyDeleteTrust me, you don't want to see them.
I wanted to be Nancy Drew, too! But always secretly feared I was the pudgy boring friend Bess.
ReplyDeleteGreat list. Can relate with most of them, especially #8. I think Halloween rocks, but Christmas is a close second.
ReplyDeleteFrankie,
ReplyDeleteYou're so funny! There were only two of us who pretended so I was Nancy and my friend was George.
Theresa,
ReplyDeleteI do love Halloween, too. I always decorate my yard and people I think I must have kids.
I have slept 12 hrs in gravel on the side of an interstate highway. Long story.
ReplyDeleteIf you love apples, I recently discovered pink lady apples and wrote an as-of-yet unpublished or typed blog. For now, just know that they're awesome.
Carlos,
ReplyDeleteI've always been a Fuji gal. I'll have to give the Pink Lady a try.
Please blog about your gravel pillow. I would love to hear THAT story.
I totally wanted to be Nancy Drew.
ReplyDeleteI love flea markets- my grandparents used be vendors when I was a kid, so I grew up around them.
Finding pennies on the sidewalk makes me happy. Happier than finding quarters, which I also pick up, by the way.
I hate the way my feet look, but I love my feet because they are such troopers- they take me all over the place and rarely complain.
Nanodance,
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize so many of us had that Nancy Drew wish. And hanging out with the Hardy Boys wouldn't have sucked, either.
What a fun childhood you must have had. So many adventures at the flea markets.
