Thursday Thirteen #24
(I have a very busy day tomorrow, so thought I’d post this early. In a few hours it will be tomorrow, anyway!)Thirteen Traits I Have
WHETHER I WANT THEM OR NOT1. I have a boisterous laugh. It’s never been demure or melodic. Nothing feminine about “hearty, belly rolling” laugher!
2. I have a flat head with thin, fine, sparse hair and it’s only getting worse as I get older. Maybe I’m a candidate for Rogaine??????
3. I have a passionate love for red meat (medium or medium rare). I know it’s unhealthy, but chicken and fish just don’t do the same thing for me as a steak or roast! I can feel my red blood cells rejuvenating after each bite of steak!
4. I have a gift for teaching just about anything, but often wonder, afterwards, “Why in the world did I sign up for this?”
5. I have a black thumb. I’m not talking about an ethnic group attached to part of my hand; but, the truth be known, I’m a plant killer.
6. I have VERY EXPENSIVE taste. Trust me. No matter where I am, whatever catches my eye, and I pick up, is almost guaranteed to be the most expensive thing. Then I have the pleasure of executing self control and telling myself to put it back and begun to hunt for a cheaper version!.
7. I have a fondness for all animals. I’m more fond of some than others; but, I’ve been known to kiss a calf!!!
8. I think barnyard smells (horse and cow manure, straw, hay) smell good – chicken coops, not so great. I’m not sure what’s wrong with me?????
9. I enjoy housework. I try to sit and read or watch TV and relax, but I find working to be more relaxing and enjoyable. I think the doctor must have dropped me on my head at birth! Hey! Maybe that’s why I have such a flat head????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!
10. I’m very opinionated. I DO hope, with age and maturity, I have learned to soften my delivery!
11. I’m very intolerant of intolerant people. Kind of a Catch-22, huh?
12. My high level of energy wears most people out. From what I understand, I was born in high gear and have never stopped.
13. I never enter an argument unless I’m positively sure of what I’m talking about. Then, I don’t give up. I’m well read and educated and I rarely speak until I hear someone saying something VERY wrong (due to their lack of education) or something that is just plain dumb! It’s very frustrating when I KNOW I’m right!!! I have to control myself or I begin to sound like a dog that has a hold of a bone!
Who knows? Maybe I should have been a lawyer, after all!

Yum! Red meat! I love a good steak or roast, too! However, we eat a LOT of chicken because it is the cheapest. I think I could probably lay an egg we eat so much! Ground beef is also pretty, cheap so we do have hamburgers, too. I think it’s a good thing you have all that energy considering all you have to do!
Hope you have a stress free Thursday!
I just love when you tell us all this. Because if you only know someone over the internet you don’t really know them!
Have a good day putting all that energy to good use!
