Hold your hands out, palms down. Starting from the left...count off how many times 9 you need. For example...3 X 9...count to the third finger. Put that finger down....look at your hands and there will be two fingers..space seven fingers....27. Four times 9....count to the fourth finger, curl it under and you have 3 fingers...space... 6 fingers ....36!

My stepson taught me this!
Ahh!!! How COOL is that!??! I never knew that!
(yes... I'm sitting here at work doing it)


*I never took any math class beyond General Math (and still managed to graduate high school)
*I have a reading comprehension problem.
(If I read something I won't remember what I read after a few minuets)
*I am a horrible speller and would like a spell check button implanted in my brain
*I've never met my husband’s grandfather and he hasn't seen him in over 15 years and he lives only 20 minuets from us.
*The thing that kept me from taking my own life a year ago was not knowing what would happen to Buddy. (PTS, shelter, rescue...) Because he and my husband still hate each other.
*My mother in law had my husband when she was 16, then got pregnant again 1 month later, then they had another baby 13 years later.
(So my husband is 30 and I have a brother in law that is 29 and another that is 17)
*I was smacked in the face by my father in law (before he was my father in law) one night during a fight when he was drunk, he kept threathing to kill my husband and I was trying to hide him in the basement.
*My husband is a recovering alcoholic and when he was drinking he always had an out of control temper and became verbally abusive during his drunken rages. (JUST like his father!)
*I would love to be a wedding planner
*Nothing burns my a$$ more than "Designer Breeds"
*I would love to move to Alaska.
*My drink of choice at Starbucks is an extra tall, non fat, Carmel Latte.
*I used to have a lot of friends, but only have 1 now that I can really count on.
*When I was planning my wedding my friend appointed herself as my maid of honor and I never stood up for myself and told her that I didn't want her to be. Then she didn't even ask me to be hers for her wedding.
*I have been a bridesmaid 7 times.

Alright... that's enough!!
