7 Random Things About Buddy

1. I am cross eyed. It does not to matter to me because I have always been that way. But when people look at me they laugh. I don't know why. I am not the one with 2 heads!
2. My mama's name was Miss Ugly. I can't understand that. I thought she was pretty.

5. I wake my person up at 5 am everyday. I do not know why she gets mad at me and closes the door. I am hungry!
6. When I was a baby everybody thought I was a girl. I also had trouble walking because my mama feed me too much and both of my back feet would not touch the ground at the same time. I kind of hopped when I walked so they named me BUNNY. Silly people could not tell I was a boy!
7. My best friend is a dog. He is silly and I let him think he wins sometimes.

Tackle It Tuesday

This week was a mess! I tackled my pantry. It was so disorganized that I did not know what food I had and what I did not have. After pulling everything from the pantry and placing it on my clean table I was stunned! What a mess. I wiped down all the shelves and turned it. I had decided to place the back of it towards my desk instead of lined up with it. Now came the task of replacing and tossing. I sometimes buy extra when it is marked down. So I have lots of pasta, for 3 pound boxes at 35 cents a box, 10 boxes hot cocoa @ 50 cents a box,4 boxes lasagna noodles @ 40 cents a box, four 5 pound bags of bread flour @ 50 cents, five double cans of pumpkin @ 50 cents a can, 12 boxes of Hamburger Helper @ $1 a box. That is all I have left from my big buys. Yes I remember the prices. It is a quirk that I have, being able to remember stuff like that. I tried to place everything on shelves with similar type items, baking stuff together, pasta, beans and rice, can goods, box goods etc. On the bottom shelf is my ice cream maker, light bulbs and energy drinks.

I like doing this because I can see what I have and what I need.

One of the things that got tossed was paper, loots of paper. I shredded 3 full bins of paper in my shredder! I told you I have the tendency to save it. There were bills(paid ones LOL) from 2003! I have not had this cabinet that long!

The back of the cabinet will be a minor tackle. I still have to get what I need. I am going to put cork tiles and a dry erase board on it. This will be a new "wall" for my desk.

Tackle it Tuesday

The Tackle it Tuesday stuff has really been helping me. After doing the tackle I am inclined to keep it that way! Maybe, just maybe, I will be able to get my whole house clean!

This week I tackled my desk. It is another catchall. I guess because so much time is spent here. Between the 3 of us the desk stays pretty busy. My desk is in my livingroom. EVERYTHING is in here it seems like. I guess that is why it is called the LIVING room! You will notice there is kitchen stuff on the desk. It is easy for that to happen. My desk is also right next to an open kitchen. The stove is maybe 6-7 feet from the end of the desk. It is a big desk! There is paper clutter on it, cups, and a bowl that SOMEbody ( I won't say who) left there. Discs are scattered about instead of in the holder and dust everywhere. The red blob in the center I can do nothing about.

I put stuff up and placed the stuff on the shelves straight. All food products were placed in the pantry where they belonged, dishes in the washer and other kitchen items were put up. I tossed paper, shreded paper and filed paper.Everything was moved and dusted. Books and paper stacks were straightened up. All discs were placed in their sleeve and put in the holder. The dolls were dusted and rearranged. These are our Easter parade dolls. Every year Brook has been getting a doll for Easter and now we make a paparde with them. The rest of the Easter stuff will be placed later this week. The red blob is in bed or my desk will stay straight for a couple more hours.

This will be the hardest to keep clean. Now everyone can see just how big a slob I really am.

rambling

I am not sure exactly why I started this blog. I have a journal on AOL that I have been writing in for almost 3 years now. I have opened other journals but just as quick as I opened them I closed them. Over there on AOL I have a group of people that read me, some have been with me almost from the start. Here I am not sure if I have any regular readers. I am not sure how I feel about that. It is nice to get comments. It is nice to feel that people appartently feel something for you.
I don't have an exciting life. No boyfriend or girlfriend, no wild parties, no drugs or drinks, no sex. I am just an ordinary person living an ordinary life. I live on a small farm in Georgia. I play on the computer alot. I don't go to chat room. I don't go to sites to meet "friends". I like to read. I like to read about other people. I like reading about what people are doing in their lives. I have been reading a few blogs and made some comments.
I know that I will never have a big readership because I am ordinary and that's okay.

a Man with No Name You scored 8 Honor, 4 Justice, 9 Adventure, and 2 Individuality!

It's one thing to be a gunslinger. It's another to wander into town, leave nothing but a trail of those who'd try your skill and take the town's gratitude and cash with you. Hero or villan? It's all in how you look at it and whose side you're on. Cigar in your teeth and colt on your hip, you are ready to step into the hazy desert horizon. You'll do just fine.

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 99% on Ninjinuity You scored higher than 99% on Knightlyness You scored higher than 99% on Cowboiosity You scored higher than 99% on Piratical Bent

Tackle It Tuesday

Last week due to UPS failure to make a timely delivery of my new broadband modem, I was unable to do anything on the internet! Talk about having serious withdrawals!My project this week is actually what I was going to do last week but did not get to it. Well... I did, I just did not finish it. Flylady would call this one of my hotspots. Things pile up and before I know it it is a mountain to tackle!



I manage to find a place for everything to go. I put the garbage in the garbage, the groceries in the cupboards, the paper went into the shreader and all the other odds and ends went where they went. I got the lemon oil out and gave the table a good polishing. I can see a future tackle it involving the finish on my table!

My name is Celeste. After a long journey thru life, I have finally found where I want to be. I live in a small town on a small farm in Northwest Georgia. I have a wonderful man named Pat that I love with all my heart. He sure does make me mad sometimes! The rest of my family consists of my grandaughter Brook, the light of my life. There is my daughter Candy and her husband Johnny. They live a few miles down the road. We have horses to love, a motorcycle to ride, a goat to yell at and a calf to fatten up. Rounding it all out are chickens, dogs, cats and cockatiels. Something is always happening around here, boring, exciting, I have it all.

Woohoo meme

A little about me and who and what is in my life.

I am

I am the baby born in Fort Oglethorpe, GA to parents that thought they had already had all the kids they were going to.Who scared her Daddy's mother when I took a dive from my crib and knocked myself out.
I am the child who played alone and read books and wanted more. Who loved her daddy and books and going to school so much that I ran away at age 4 to go to school.Who stored nothing in my treasure box because her daddy did not fit.Who dreamed of being a mama and never thought she would be one.
I am the teenager who did not fit in with the freaks, the jocks or the brains.Who wore nice clothes and no jewelry and loved books and hated being alone Who drank and did drugs and then felt more alone.Who dreamed of being loved and knew she would never find it
I am the woman who gave birth at 18 in a farmhouse in Texas because there was no money for a hospital.Who loves her family and peace and her animalsI am the mother who loves to cook and goes crazy if I have to throw it awayand whose moments of perfect bliss come when I am holding my Brook in my arms.I am the housewife who loves her home and avoids the outside world and who used to be whatever you wanted her to be.
I am the woman who is shy and loyal and stubbornI am the person who somehow keeps going forward no matter how hard she is hit and then puts herself down for no reason.
I am the woman who still loves books and school, but never again will I read like I once did because my eyes won't let me.Who still longs to learn to play classical pianoI am the person who dreams of a big family and happiness and is grateful for still having my daughter that almost died and my granddaughter and who hopes that my granddaughter has love and happiness and a good life.
