Contests and Contestants

I shamelessly entered my name into Heather's contest because she does great work.

And I am doing eight thingies about me. Cuz its all about me. All of it.
(and Becky asked me to)

1. I once had a baby five years premature.

2. She was a boy named Graeme until the very moment she was born, but then there were some parts missing and some other parts in place, so we named her Arianna instead.

3. I can pour my own cereal.

4. Putting sunscreen on a sweaty back is horrifying to me, but I've spent years in nursing homes washing old men's nackers.

5. I ran once.

6. I'm terrified of numbers.

7. I have recurrent dreams. Sometimes they are like chapters.

8. I plant things in May or June. I kill them in July or August.

Al right, this is almost as hilarious as the last post. In fac tI made my poor husband listen to me ead it aloud. :) And I AM #8. Except that they usually die in June because around here we plant in April and May.

I bought a house with FABULOUS blooming flowers.

The one day since we've been here that it's been cool enough to go outside, I swear I heard the flowers scream in fright.

Plants hate me.

You are just too funny.

Thanks, Joyce! I can relate....I can't keep plants alive either, and I don't know how to run! I'm determined to start...someday. Don't know how you handle bathing elderly men...not sure I could go there!

Number 4 has me convulsing on the floor...especially the pre testicle tuck thingamabobs..((shudders))

I ran TWICE..neener!

I'm scared of nuymber 7 because 7 8 9!

Recurrent dreams are a sign of cranial clutter and nagging optimism.
