Eight Dirty Little Secrets

I have been tagged by JanieBelle with a little meme about dirty secrets. I chuckled when reading her list because, if you follow my link to U Dream of Janie, you'll see that she and I are quite different in, shall we say, our pursuits of happiness. In keeping with my PG rating, the term "dirty" will be relative. Think more in terms of germs.

First, here are the rules:
*Post these rules before listing the facts.
*List eight random facts/habits.
*Tag eight people and list their names. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.

My "Dirty" Little Secrets:
1. Sometimes I bite my nails, even after I have pumped gas into my car.
2. I don't have a 5-second rule when eating food dropped on the floor. My rule is more like 60 seconds, unless it falls within the tracks left by my kitties and their litter-encrusted paws.
3. I drink out of other people's glasses if they'll let me.
4. I use public hand rails without washing my hands afterwards.
5. I put my shoes on the furniture.
6. Quite often, I don't wash fruit before I eat it.
7. I only vacuum twice a month, and that's only if I think the floor looks noticeably dirty.
8. Sometimes, if I am feeling particularly bad, I'll double-dip my chip in the salsa.

Now, about the tagging, I think I only know eight people, so consider yourselves on the list.

Such risky behavoir Robyn - how can you live with yourself? The bitting of the nails after pumping your gas eeehw I use rubber gloves when pumping my gas. I really do. I keep em in my trunk. I've seen some of the nast habbits of mostly guys while they pump gas and... oh well I won't go there.

Yikes! Get your shoes off the furniture, young lady! That's disgraceful.

Like the literal take on things, Robyn.

I'll see what I can figure out.
Yup. We're related. And happily so, from my corner...which, by the way is rather dusty...and if I happened to see a well-aged chocolate chip in the vicinity, I might just lightly wipe it off and pop it in my mouth.

Classic Green Bean Bake

In anticipation of Thanksgiving, I feel I must post a recipe with plenty of good old American tradition. The classic Green Bean Bake was invented in 1955 by Dorcas Reilly, a home economist who worked for the Campbell's Soup Company. A study was done determining that 50% of all Americans have eaten the classic Green Bean Bake, and 38% of those believe it is best served during the holidays, mainly Thanksgiving. So, for the other 50% and for those in other countries where this dish may be unfamiliar--my treat: The Classic Green Bean Bake serves 6 to 8 1 can Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup 1/2 cup milk 1 teaspoon soy sauce Dash of fresh pepper 1 20-oz. bag frozen cut green beans, thawed* 1 2.8 oz can French-fried onions -Preheat the oven to 350 F -In a casserole dish, combine the soup, milk, soy sauce and pepper. Stir in the green beans and half of the onions. -Bake until bubbling, about 25 minutes. Top with the remaining onions and bake for 5 more minutes. Serve hot. *Or cook 1 ...

Bring On the Bombs

In today's edition : I generally try to keep on top of cultural trends even if I don’t adopt them, but there is a growing movement that I have only just discovered. Not long ago, I was walking along in Berkeley, California while visiting my daughter, and I saw a signpost that had been covered with yarn, like someone had sewn a knitted scarf to it. It was colorful and randomly striped, and I pointed it out as if it were the most unusual thing in the world. That’s when my daughter explained the nature of what is known as yarn bombing. It’s when knitters attach something they’ve created to a public object, most often doing their deed stealthily and anonymously. They leave a “bomb,” so to speak, for no other purpose than to brighten up the place and to bring a little cheer to those passing by. Their work has been equated with graffiti, except that the woven yarn is not permanently installed and does no damage to the object it covers. And instead of signifying the territory of a street ...

Cindy Loo Who In October

What is it with people and Cindy Loo Who? Of my last one hundred blog hits, forty have been direct visits from regular readers, and fifteen have been as a result of people searching for "Cindy Loo Who," the little pixie from Seuss's How The Grinch Stole Christmas . A couple of years ago, I posted an image of the original Seuss illustration as compared to the TV cartoon image, and for some reason, that post is bringing in the crowds, relatively. Maybe it's the weather. It isn't even November yet, and already we've had frost and have had to dust off our winter coats. When it gets cold like this, I start to think about Christmasy things like listening to Nat King Cole and decorating the tree. It's ironic because I am offended when retailers start pushing holiday stuff early, but I don't mind my own private celebrations. When my sister and I were much younger and still living with our parents, we would pick a day in July, close the curtains to darken the ...
