More Idiosyncracies -- T's List

::: singing ::: "T thinks searabbit needs a spanking"...

ok here goes..

1. I am a reader. I read everything. I read online. I read all types of books. I read labels. I read catalogs. Tom is fond of saying that I am the only person he knows who reads cookbooks for pleasure! "BT"....before Tom.... I used to read 5-7 books weekly. But since it "Takes a village to raise a Dominant", I read about 3 a week now.

2. I am a fusser. If there is something on my plate I will worry it to pieces until it is done. If we have someone coming over, I will stay up late getting things cleaned up and organized and prepped so I don't have to work hard before they arrive or while they are here. I have also become a list maker and that just makes me sick to my stomach....guess I am growing old, but invariably I will leave for the store for a few necessary items and come home with everything but the 1 item I needed most....so now I "list"....grrrrrr

3. I like to get out and do something atleast 1 weekend a month. Swan & Tom would be tickled to death to stay home every weekend, hunkered in the condos, but I am the "social director". I am always on the lookout for new and interesting events or trips for the clan to make. Lately because of the bionic knee, we have been hampered. And Tom hates the heat and Swan hates the crowds. But I am going to get them out and about again soon, or I will just have to start traveling alone ...or maybe I will find me a sweet young thing...someone just dirty enough to play with who is strong enough to carry my bags...LOLOLOL!!!

4. Swan misses her Mountains and I miss my trees and camping. I used to backpack. I have always been a "fluffy" gal. But used to be more physical. I am doing all the prep for a gastric bypass surgery. When the surgery is done, and I am healthy, I want to pack again. I want to camp and see real trees. Not ones a nursery shoved in the ground. Ones Mother Earth birthed Herself. Yep, looking forward to that. Camping to Himself is the Red Roof Inn instead of the Marriott. I want to sleep under the stars on a trail again before I am too old to appreciate it.

5. I am a shopper. That is not to say that I have to buy to be happy. I am perfectly content to go to a store and just shop. It relaxes me. Swan hates shopping, so I do most of the grocery shopping and 95% of the Christmas shopping. And that is fine with me. I like getting out in the stores. I LOVE finding a great bargain. I like quirky stores. I like flea markets. When I was very little my dad would dress me in jeans and tennies and haul me along to junk yards, looking for parts for a car he was restoring.. I like to think of Dad when I find that special something.. I know it tickles him to see me carrying on tradition.

Your turn Tom!
