Ten on Tuesday #9 - 10 Things that Scare You/Freak You Out

This one was pretty easy for me, I am a scaredy cat!
1. Not hearing from my kids or husband and thinking something bad has happened to them.
2. Tornado's - Living in Texas we get our fair share of close calls. Our business was struck by one that hit in Downtown Fort Worth, luckily we weren't there but it took months to get things back in order.
3. Losing a close family member. I have been very lucky and am so thankful this has not happened to me.
4. Feeling like I have let someone down. I become obsessed in trying to figure out what I did wrong.
5. Really scary or freaky movies. When Night Falls is one of them. It's not like there is an evil tooth fairy out there that is trying to kill people, but I had nightmares about that movie!
6. My kids and their future. We always wish the best for our kids, but I sometimes panic that I have shared with them all they need to know.
7. Throw up. Enough said!
8. Having someone come over when my house is in shambles.
9. A bad hair day.
10. Broken hearts. No matter how hard you try to mend them, they will never go back quite the same again.

Thursday Thirteen #4

I have really been behind on keeping up my blog, so I decided I better update or I will be hearing about it. :-) This week I thought I would post the thirteen things I look forward to about fall. Of course it is still about a month and half away for us, boy I can't wait.
1. Relief from this Texas heat. I love walking outside and feeling that brisk air.
2. Making some of my favorite "winter" recipes. Two of my favorite are: Chicken Tortilla Soup and of course Chili.
3. Getting the down comforter out and on the bed. I love it when we have a cool night and you are able to snuggle in under that.
4. Being able to have a fire in the fireplace. We have one in our bedroom and it is so nice to fall asleep to the crackling of firewood.
5. Sweats! I love coming home from work and putting on some comfy sweats.
6. New TV shows! By the time fall gets here I am so tired of reruns.
7. The smell of the heater turning on for the first time.
8. Big comfy slippers. I love slippers and I love for my feet to be warm so I have several pairs, but always have room for more.
9. Sitting in our hot tub on a cool evening with my hubby and a glass of wine.
10. The smell of our chimnea burning on a cool evening.
11. Seeing the leaves starting to change color. (I do hate trying to keep them out of my pool after they fall.)
12. Not having to mow the lawn or do all the yard work anymore!
13. Last but not least, it seems we spend more time together as a family and I love spending time with my family!
Happy Thursday everyone!

4. Call me a b*tch but I'm dealing with a memory that never forgets.
5. I'm the innocent bystander / Somehow I got stuck dealing with drama.

Ten on Tuesday #7 - 10 People I Would Like to Meet

I chose to do some from the past and some from the present.
1. Jesus - Now, I am in no hurry to meet him, I am enjoying being here with my family to rush it. I have so many questions I would like to ask him.
2. Annie Oakley - I wouldn't want to live during this time frame, but I would love to sit and visit with her. I was always fascinated reading about her.
3. Mae West- During a time when things were so conservative she was trying to break the mold. I would love to hear some of the tales she could tell.
4. Heath Ledger - I would like to know what was happening before his death. Knight's Tale is one of the movies I can watch over and over again.
5. Michael Jackson - Not that I am a fan of his, I would love to sit down and ask him what the heck happened to him. It fascinates me how someone can be on top of the world and then take such a u-turn.
6. Grace from Amazing Grace-Not the actress, but the character. I think she would be a blast to hang out with for a night.
7. Oprah - It would be neat to sit and visit with her.
8. John Travolta - What a career he has had, another one I would love to just talk with.
9. Michael Phelps - He is amazing.
10. Jonas Brothers-Okay I know this one is out there, but my daughter is such a huge fan, if I could I would love to meet them and take her with me so she would be one happy girl.
