I guess I should say who I am.  No one is reading this yet anyway.  I am 60 years old.  I live in the midwest.  I'm still working.  I am married.  I have three kids.  One grandchild.  I love old things.  My husband of 37 years and I are hard core garage sale, estate sale, and flea market addicts.  I'm in love with depression glass and have recently fallen in love with Prussian china.  I love dogs.  I love to read.  I have five sisters and one brother.  Many many nieces and nephews.  I really am going to try and make sense of this blogging thing.  I read lots of blogs every day.  I particularly like reading blogs about people whose lifestyle is so different than my own.  I love homesteading blogs.  I love blogs written by people in England.  Once I figure this out, I'll link to the ones I love.  I don't think anyone will ever happen upon this, but then I'll just use it as a journal.

I just remembered I had this.  I don't know what I have to say that anyone would listen to or will listen to.  I'm going to think about this a bit.  I want to post about what I've learned over the years.  The things I like, things I don't like.  I read a lot of blogs.  I don't know why I think anyone might be interested in what I have to say.  But I really think I'd like to try.

Totally forgot about this.

I vaguely remember starting this blog years ago, but then I just totally forgot.  Today I bumped into it while looking at other people's blogs.   So here's my first smack: 

  Sorry, but the woman just bugs me.  Always has, always will.  She's not a good actress, in my opinion and the smug is off the charts.  I don't understand her popularity.  Must be a love to hate thing.

So I'll try to get started

I watch a lot of HGTV. I'm addicted to Househunters, Househunters International, Property Virgins, For Rent, etc. I also watch Say Yes to the Dress. I'm fascinated by the people they choose to put on these shows. You know the ones. "I have to stainless steel appliances." "I have to have granite countertops." "I have to have double sinks." As if anything less is like living in a third world country. Even more so for the ones who are looking for vacation property. A bedroom 12x15 is "kind of cramped". You're on vacation, how much time are you spending in the bedroom when you're in some tropical location?

Anyway, my two fabulous beautiful daughters and I will spend whole afternoons watching these shows and ripping on these people. Particularly the woman who when looking at a three bedroom house, went into one of the bedrooms and said (I kid you not), "This can be Coco's room." Coco was her dog. Yes, her dog. It's become kind of an inside joke for us.

So I thought to myself if my two fabulous beautiful daughters and I can spend time mocking these people, surely the good folks on the internet would like to share in that. So that's what I plan to do. I'll try to be funny. I'll try to entertain. And hopefully someone else besides my fabulous beautiful daughters and my long-suffering husband will read it.

But this is the first time I've tried it, so bear with me while I suffer growing pains.
