With a family full of veterns and officers:

Mayor of quirksville here.

I don’t have time, energy, or interest in hating the haters; I’m too busy loving the lovers.” – Steve Maraboli

These are my groups:

"VEGS" CirCle of FriEnds Animal lovers, tree huggers, recipes, snap n' slap photography, pet tell all's, cruelty free potions, etc.

Step in. Let your hair down. May I offer you a cocktail or some such? Mmmmmm.

Take my hand and let me take you on a journey.

No need to feel the need of reading it all.

Everything you want to know is in the DIRECTORY. Go strait to the floor in which you desire. Its all there.... kinda like a quickie. Blush.

However before you go you may like to taste some top notes:

I will not rate or rant down if I rcv something I cannot use: I'll simply pass it along. Altho I do have a few NO THANK YOU'S... That would be on Floor #4.

Otherwise I am not easily offended.

As a connoisseur of crap I delight in all things colourful. A description of myself does not escape: Blending together sleezy (not really), cheesey, (on a cracker pleasy), quirky, kinky, winky, fun, funky, 0' plentiful, 0'playful, outta breath.

Being organized and a list lover is just another way of self inflicting pain..

Swapping, rating and all that JaZZ:

I will always rate but will only rate 1's or 3's after I have communicated because sometimes crap happens PLUS I will only rate a 1 or 3 if the other party twists my arm. I would hate to rate a 1/3! Please share the same courtesy.

Always send out my swaps on time ...theres no shakin, bakin, flakin' here. But life happens. I will kindly contact you if I cant.

LIFE IS PHUNNY

Hmmmmm.......I'm thinking....Tick Tock Tick Tock....... What primarily attracted me to this site is finding people to share some of my cherished items with. Lately, I’ve been thinking of that "yard sale" that spans 3 states. Have you heard of it? Yeah, it’s like from Fla to SC or Fla to Alabama or something like that. Well, when I die I anticipate my daughter stringing my stuff between 3 states. Yup, that be my stuff unless I can get my daughter interested in my tastes. Sigh.

Luckily, I am young'ish….at least 30 more years to go. But this is a great place to let go of unused cherished items.

FAVOURITE CLICHE

Come to my lair and bring a donut.

THE PROPOSAL...FUNNY

While dating my husband he saw me admiring a paper bag...the texture, sound the rustling paper made ...he knew I was the girl for him and proposed after a series of paper bag incidents...he thought he was getting off EZ while I was getting off. LMAO.

TOLERANT HUSBAND...FUNNY

We recently discussed painting the first floor and I said I would do it altho we never discussed colours. When he came home 1/2 the house was LILAC and the other 1/2 was LETTUCE. Sweet man never said a word!

WHERE IM HEADING

My husband and I worked a very long time in the D.O.T. Hint: Not the DEPT. of Transylvania. ....the other one. LOL. And then a series of other serious jobs and now I'm heading the other way in life. I want to find my funny bone, laughing at life, myself, share, embrace and explore.

DEATH

I dont think dying bothers me so much as the thought of dying with dishes in the sink, or the bed unmade.

COMING OUTTA THE CLOSET

I come out of the closet several times everyday. My studio apt is funky...I have to .....now get this........go thru my closet to walk into the living room. LMFAO.

THE 70's AND ANTIBIOTICS

It was under a disco ball that I first met VD. NOT! I wasnt into disco. :) Its impossible to take life/ourselves seriously.

FEARS: NOT SO FUNNY

I want to get a Bachelors in paralegal but fear Im not smart enough which is very possible....or Im not good enough or Im too old: 51.

RESIDE

I live near Yosemite and ironically do not go. I hate that. Did the same thing when I lived near New Orleans too. Make note to self: "GO!"

LOCAL FRIENDSHIPS

I would love to find some local buds who want to explore all those things here in Calif. that we just dont make the time for. I'm accustomed to travelling so if anyOne wants to meet and combine it with exploring some cool area nearby or just explore a few fun local places.

MY WORK DESK...FUNNY

MILE HIGH CLUB: (the other one): At any given time I have a mile high stack of papers on my desk. Uggg. Add a cat or 2 and that makes "desk soup" not to be confused with duck soup. yuck.

LADIES AND GENTLEMAN STEP RIGHT UP SEE THE HALF WOMAN HALF CAT!

P.s ..the whiskers are not mine.

!

HUGH SOURCE OF IRRITATION!

MY PERSONALITIES

My personality is a mish-mash of Phyllis Diller, Joann Worley (Martin Rowan Laugh In 1970's), and Flip Wilson. Erma BomBeck. Hmmm... O once typed it looks pretty funny. Make note to self: UPdate OUTdated voices in head. LMAO

EGG UNDER MY PILLOW

I wouldn’t describe myself as the Beverly Hillbillies but I did find a laid chicken egg under my the headboard of my bed!!! ![]( Not joking. LMAO. I remember that morning finding my door cracked...Sabrina, our darling little Silver Lace must of got in. When I heard the cackling I just assumed it was my husband. I’m more like Lisa from Green Acres but without the pretty hair, clothes, makeup and accent.....Just the sophistication..

It’s Vincent Price SP KY.

ON LOSING WEIGHT...ALWAYS FUNNY

Kittyhotbot????? Whats in a name??? Tongue "n" cheeky really. I've been doing this workout program "Slim in 6 weeks" for about 2 years now (LOL) and lost 15lbs....DID YOU CATCH THAT......I STRETCHED OUT A 6 WEEK PROGRAM OVER 2 YEARS!!!I do like this dvd cuz it has 5 segments to it. Theres one for every lifestyle and time frame. Even a 11minute workout!!!

EPIPANY
