The past 7-10 days have just been hell! The boss resigned, my work life is on end and so damn stressful that I amazed I have not quit and gone home several days, and that my hair is all still in my head.

I apologize to my readers for the change in the look of my blog, I am bouncing between 2 different themes/backgrounds/layouts trying to decide which one I like best.  Hang with me I will figure it out.

Okay it is the 16th edition of Meet Me On Monday, a great MeMe that is hosted by Never Growing Old that is a fun way to get to know the person behind the blog, if you wish to participate on your own blog click the icon or  link above to join us:

Blogging is a funny thing…we tell our most intimate thoughts for all to read and yet most of the time I find myself sitting and wondering, “who is this person!?”  I know them…but yet I don’t know them!  I want to know who the person is behind all those words so I thought of a great way for all of us to “meet” each other!

Every Sunday I will post five get to know you questions that you can copy and paste into your own Monday post and we can all learn a little more about each and every one of us!!

“Its a great way to to meet new friends and for others to get to know me better….one Monday at a time!!!”….as quoted by the Chacogirl!! I will make this SIMPLE and FUN!!!

Questions:

1.  How many TV’s do you have in your home?
2.  What is on your bedside table (nightstand)?
3.  How many pair of shoes do you own?
4.  Can you change a flat tire?
5.  Do you prefer sweet treats or salty treats?

1.  How many TV’s do you have in your home?

We have 5 TVs in the Princess Palace.  On large screen in the family room, then 4 of the Divas also have a TV in their room.  I currently do not but keep hoping to finally afford a small flat screen for my room, it just is not a big priority at the  moment.

2.  What is on your bedside table (nightstand)?

My nightstand is across the room, holds a lamp and a decorative box on the top of it.  Next to the bed is my vanity which has my glasses, watch, some lotion and a lamp as well.  My kitten enjoys getting up there at night when I am asleep and knocking the lotion and eye cream off on to the floor..and my watch, and my glasses..

3.  How many pair of shoes do you own?

Roughly off the top of my head 15 pair? Not all that into shoes, for certain no more than 20.  That said, some are summer/warm weather ones, some are colder weather, and a pair of riding boots for those opportunities to be fender fluff on someone’s bike.

4.  Can you change a flat tire?

That would be a big NO.  I know it is something I SHOULD know how to do, and probably should be something I learn, but it is not currently in my DIM (Do It Myself) manual.

5.  Do you prefer sweet treats or salty treats?

Both, depending on my current mood and if I am suffering from PMS.  My favorite way to get them both is to mix Brach’s Candy Corn and dry roasted peanuts together.

Day 02 – Something I Love About Myself

Salvatore Vuono / FreeDigitalPhotos.net

Hmm…something I suppose I love about myself is that I am very low maintenance.  In other words, I am very easy to please.  I am very much a no frills type of gal in most every way I can think of at the moment.  Let me explain.

I’m not into designer labels on my clothes, shoes, etc.  I am all over functionality and price.  If the jeans are on sale and they fit nice, that is the brand I am buying.  If the shoes are a style I like, comfortable, priced right (read ON SALE), the color I seek…those are the shoes for me.  And having a bunch of different pairs is pointless.  I have a friend, a male, when getting to know me asked how many pairs of shoes I owned.  I could count them in my head, and at the time it was under 15 pair, even less now that I cleaned out my closet.  He told me the more shoes a woman has, the more high maintenance she is and that is the truth!  My purse, it’s for carrying stuff I think I need and a few things I likely DO need, and I honestly don’t care what color, brand or style it is, if it fits my needs and is priced in my range I am on it.  My nieces have designer bags and when they talk about them I haven’t a clue what they are yacking about.  I will use the same purse until it falls apart, forcing me to go buy a new one.

I prefer beer over wine, and not pricey beers just something cheap.  The most expensive beer I have ever purchased was Mich Ultra Cactus Lime.  Wine is okay, I do like some but honestly a cheap bottle is fine if it is something I like.  I am more about liking it than how old it is and how expensive.  Price does not impress me at all.  I wander the wine selection at the grocery store and look for sale tags then decide.  Most often my choice is related to the name once I know what is on sale.

I have a few pieces of expensive jewelry but nothing outrageous and the nicer things the ex-husband bought for me.  Sure I like diamonds, but it just isn’t something I feel I need to have.  One of my very favorite rings is a sterling silver one I wear on my little finger.  A friend brought it back from vacation for me when I watched her daughter while she and her significant other went on a cruise.  I wear it every day and always think happy thoughts about her and pray for her, him and their little girl when I see it.  I also think happy thoughts and pray for the ex when I see the rings he purchased, but they are also not likely to be anything I won’t easily part with either, as the sentimental value has kinda been tarnished now, as they were wedding bands and anniversary gifts.

Fancy parties or a cook out?  Give me the grilled steaks, cold beer and good friends over the fancy shamancy black tie affair, I am far more comfy that way.  Tickets to a broadway production or a football game? Hand over the football tickets and I’ll get a jersey and paint my face, let’s have some rowdy fun!  Fancy cars? Big deal, would rather be on the back of a Harley with a male friend on a Fall day than in a limo.  Candle lit dinners are nice, but I would have far more fun grabbing a picnic basket of goodies, a blanket, and finding a nice spot in a park.

Yep, I have to say, I love being just a simple, easy to please woman!
