Getting to Know What YOU Don't DO

This has been such a fun post that I am going to leave it up until Monday, while I work on the answers to the "tree questions"! And just to make it a little more fun, I think I will let Parker draw 2 winners....so 2 blog friends will get a surprise in the mail. If you mention the post on your blog I will add your name 5 extra times in the drawing. I love getting to know all of you better. Be sure and let me know that you linked to my blog where I can give you extra chances to win. Have a great weekend.
Teresa

I loved the post I did on Getting to Know YOU and got great responses. ...and I AM in the process of checking out all those blogs. I promise to visit everyone. Babies have been taking some of my blogging time. And you can probably tell that in our home BABIES RULE ! This will be a way for me to know you just a little better...so let me see your list of dont's in my comments .... ..Monday, Parker will be home from Destin and I will let him pick a number. I will mail you a "Surprise Box" later in the week. So let's call this a
Mini Giveaway, just for participating in the fun. ( Are you beginning to see that I love to GIVE AWAY SURPRISES?)
"I Don't"
Here is a list of 10 "Dont's" that come to mind. Let's stick to TEN! I could probably list 1000.
1. I don't get up before 10 most mornings. (I am sorry..I know some people consider that a sin)
2. I don't go to bed before 2 most nights.
3. I don't cook
4. I don't go to bed until everything is picked up.
5. I don't EVER mind a grandchild spending the night. ( I have that little 18 month old Jack safe in the crib in his room at our house tonight..nothing sweeter. I bet I cover him up 2o times before I go to bed and I let Celine's lullaby album play all night.
6. I don't really like to drive, would always prefer somebody else to do the driving.
7. I don't like to run errands...(my husband loves a list and does not mind at all, which is such a blessing)
8. I don't ever tire of Disney TRIPS.
9. I don't ever let the laundry pile up. I like everything clean.
10. I don't like to iron or PAINT !
Now I would love for you to share your list with ME. I really do want to get to know my readers......Not just your name but who you really are...I was thinking about my five closest real life friends and I could easily write 10 things they "Don't Do"! .....I am looking forward to your answers..and in the process you might win a prize.

and if you missed my last post, take a look below at our little miracle!

How fun!... let's see...

I DON"T...
1. ...like the cold (seems like I'm always the one that's cold)
2. ...like liver (ew! the texture is what does it!)
3. ...like to watch UFC (both my hubby and son do...& my son asks me all the time, when he trains for that would I watch him?...def. no...it was hard watching him wrestle in high school!)
4. ...understand a lot of things yet about blogging (like you, Courtney, it's new to me...but I'm learning more each time...it may take me a little longer than some :o)
5. ...remember to take my vitamins (like you, Bacardi Mama, and it drives my hubby buggy!)
6. ...play an instrument (but the rest of my family are naturally talented, they are amazing singers, play the clariinet, flute, guitar, ukelele, piano, etc...my hubby can even play the Djembe drums).
6. ...like cigarette smoke (like you, Jenglamgirl).
7. ...shave my legs (thank you mom for those hairless-leg-genes!)
8. ...like that I can't just pick up the phone and hear my mom's voice (I miss her sooo much!)
9. ...like to be in a bathing suit (age and this extra weight, that seems to be there no matter what, has caused this particular "don't").
10. ...like being way out in this beautiful part of coastal Georgia (cuz we are so far from our 3 kiddos are in college in Kentucky, dad's in Wisconsin, and Dave's family are all in Hawaii... oh, yeah don't like the vicious sand gnats here! did I say vicious? any where else a gnat is an annoying, but here these sand gnats as teeny tiny as they are have a "bite" bigger than anything you can think of and are out when the temps are perfect for us humans!)

...oh one more... like you Teresa- I DON'T EVER mind a grandbaby spending the night (don't have any yet, but I totally agree with you on this! ...can't wait!)

Daveda said...

Hi there, I am Daveda from over at Grace Talk With Daveda

1. I don't like the cold weather...at all!

2. I don't like liver...blah!

3. I don't have the stomach to look at, smell or clean up vomit: this is always my husbands job.

4. I don't like religion, meaning another mans list's of rights and wrongs that are imposed upon my walk with God as an individual.

5. I don't like hanging out with people who "suck the life out of you" but I will occasionally,if I feel lead to :)

6. I don't like driving around all day going from place to place. After 3 stops I've had enough, most of the time.

Jo Whitehurst said...

Here goes!
1) I don't drink carbonated beverages
2) I don't like cigarette smoke

4) I don't like the "f" word
5) I don't like doing laundry
6) I don't like snakes...when my kids asked me if they could have one, I told them that they could have a snake or a Mom...and the snake would probably not do their laundry or feed them, so they needed to make a wise choice!
7) I don't like mice
8) I don't like (interpret this as "hate") cleaning the toilet after 3 grown men!
9) I don't like food with "high fructose corn syrup" (it burns my throat)
10) I don't make my bed on week days (my retired husband is usually in it, when I leave for work)

Thanks for hosting this, Teresa! It is a wonderful way for us to get to know each other! Blessings!

Mimmy said...

Hey Teresa - I love this idea and am making a list of all the great blog ideas I'm going to steal when I get enough readers to really make it count.

My 10 don't do's:

1. I don't like really cold weather but I don't like really hot weather either. Spring and Fall are my favorite months.

2. I don't like grocery shopping. Right now my hubby does it all.

3. I don't do a lot of things that I once did because my health won't permit me. That list would be way too long.

4. Some days I don't get dressed. That doesn't mean I run around naked, I just don'e get out of my jammies.

5. I don't call my children as often as I should. I like to wait for them to call me. It just means more to me.

6. I don't read nearly enough.

7. I don't exercise either.

8. I don't keep a very clean house. It's neat, but not real clean. When people come to visit, I tell them they can write their names in the dust if they want to, just don't date it. (I do keep clean bathrooms. Hate a dirty bathroom.)

9. I don't iron unless it's absolutely necessary. That what a dryer is for.

10. I don't watch the news on a daily basis. If it's really important stuff, my hubby will tell me about it. I either get angry or depressed when I see what this world is doing.

Thanks again. Sorry for the commentary but that's what happens when you find a writer.

God Bless,
Mimmy

3) I don't like camping, but I love hiking

7) I don't like wearing on a whole lot of make-up (I never wear foundation or mascara)

3) I don't like wasting food.
4) I don't clean the bathrooms - DH doesn't mind it and I HATE it!

Meg said...

Hello there. You popped over to my blog to ask how to get started on your Mac...honestly, open up the box, sit down and spend a couple of hours playing on it. Even if you just set up your google homepage and put up your google reader, bookmark some of your favorites, etc. Anything you do on it will make you more comfortable. So if all you do to start is get on the internet everything else will evolve from there. You will catch on...it is so user friendly. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any other questions. :)

Meghan

Leah said...

Well, my husband had a Mac before I got my Mac laptop and I had kind of learned my way around it. I asked him where would be a good start for you and he suggested either A) going to an Apple store, as they will let you bring your own computer, or use theirs, and they will literally teach you, step by step, how to do pretty much anything on the computer. Not sure where you are though so I don't know if there is an Apple store there. or B) try out their web site. I looked and if you go to this link http://www.apple.com/support/mac101/
you can click around and there are tutorials on pretty much everything. He even said the Apple site has video tutorials on how to do things. Hope that helps!! Don't hesitate to ask other questions or if you have particular things you need help on, ask away!!

Lora said...

4. I don't like the fact that I live 1,000 miles away from my parents and sister.

6. I don't cook creatively - I need recipes and I need them to be simple.

Hi! Thanks for visiting my blog the other day!

1. I don't do laundry often enough. I wish I was more like you!

2. I don't ever stop looking for more accessories to make our house more like a home.

3. I don't regret moving back to TX from NYC (as much as I miss it), because I met my husband because of it.

9. I don't like imagining my life without my parents in it (as much as they drive me crazy).

10. I don't know if I would be happy if I had to give up performing in plays even though I have so much to love about my life.

nancygrayce said...

I don't like to cook unless it's something (very few) that I love to eat.

I dont like to mop. DO NOT!!!

I dont like getting up in the morning because most nights I have vivid dreams and I always wonder how it would have ended if I had stayed asleep.

I don't like getting dressed to go ANYWHERE because I have clothing issues and although it seems as if my closet is full, I never seem to have the right thing to wear.

I don't like riding in the car for long periods of time....all my bones start hurting.

I don't like it when the phone rings....I guess I have issues there too.

I don't like wrinkled clothes and iron frequently because of that. I actually don't mind ironing!

I don't like explaining things because even though it is clear in my mind, it doesn't come out so clear.

I don't like planning far in advance.

I don't like walking into a meeting late, but sometimes I do because I couldn't figure out what to wear!

Elizabeth said...

Love the blog! Very cute! I am always looking for fun new blogs to follow.

1. I don't like heat, and I don't like sweating as a result of the heat.

2. I don't scrapbook. I have stuff to scrapbook with, I just don't do it, ever :)

3. I don't speak Spanish. Will be going to Argentina as full-time missionaries, but have yet to learn the language.

4. I don't spend enough time in prayer and communion with God. I need to do better.

5. I don't eat zuchinni. I hate it!

6. I don't have more than one child, but want more, at least two or three more.

7. I don't own a home and love being free from the responsibilities of home ownership, even though I have dreams of owning someday.

8. I don't know how I got to be 30 years old. It feels like I got to college my freshman year and blinked, and here I am - 12 years later married with a kid.

9. I don't drink real soda pop - it has to be diet. I love those artificial sweeteners :)

10. I don't watch sports, or follow them in any way. My biggest stint of sports watching happened while in Argentina during the 2006 World Cup.

starlightmommy said...

I just read on my blog (starlightmommy) that you had read my comment on a Mac computer.

Let me tell you....pull that thing out of the box. Sure it's not the same as a PC but it is just as easy to use.

I actually love that a Mac is truly less complicated (once you learn it) then a PC. A Mac does not get infected by spyware, viruses, and other nasty stuff that PC's usually do. It can happen but not as likely.

I have been using a mac almost exclusive for the past 7 years and I won't go back to a PC for my personal at home or laptop type computer.

Break the seal, open the box......you won't regret it.
