The same old me.

The same old me.

This is a day that much was accomplished in my household.

With the help of a friend, the assault on my attic started.  I got out and sowed grass seed to cover the three-quarters of my garden that I have reclaimed to the lawn.

But it would not be a great Monday without stopping by and completing my list of ten with Stasha. Her challenge this week from Christine @Random Reflectionz.

The challenge this week: 10 WAYS YOU ARE THE SAME OR DIFFERENT THAN YOUR YOUNGER SELF

10.   I was a blond till the age of three. I turned blond again  . . . 40 years later.

 

9.     I’d always rather see a really well-written comedy over a well-written drama any day.

 

8.     I’m a huge happy crier. At eight, I cried when Willy Wonka gave Charile the Chocolate Factory. And last Christmas, I cried at the end of It’s a Wonderful Life (for the 30th time).

 

7.     I get irrationally excited about what 20 year olds do on a football field. Especially if they play for the University of Florida. Always have. Probably always will.

 

6.     I love music. Loud. My husband hates this about me.

 

5.     I love candy corn. As a child, I’d rather eat a bowl of beets than candy corn. Now as an adult, I love the buttery, sugary power-packed punch of a solitary candy.

 

4.      I love vegetables. I just planted collards, turnip greens and cabbage in my side yard — and I am excited. The seven-year-old me?  Not so much.

 

3.     Dogs rule. I love all animals but the needy in me has always love the unadulterated worship of a great dog.

 

2.     I’m a mess. I can’t organize my earrings. At six — my desk at school was cramped full of notebook paper and lost library books.

1.       I’m goofy.   I asked my husband what is the one consistent thing about me he’s noticed in all time we’ve been together. I agree.

 

What about  you? What has stayed the same all your life?

    Yay for well-written comedies over dramas!
    There is enough drama in life anyway 😉

  2. I’m with you on the veggies and dogs. But, the candy corns – not so much! You can have mine 🙂

    Ha – I’m munching on raw green beans and snap peas from someone’s garden as I read everyone’s listicles1

    I think I am on the 33rd great cry after watching George Bailey get his wish – my mom and I watch it every Christmas.

  4. I’m a crier too. Happy, sad, frustrated, you name it. Always have been, always will be.

    I can identify with a bunch of these things! Thanks for sharing 🙂

    LOL! I liked #1. My husband says I’m a dork. It’s a compliment. #2 made me LOL. I remember kids like you in school with that paper crumpled in their desk. I was the opposite – then. I had all my books stacked neatly in descending size inside my desk. I even had room to play “house” with my pink okra-shaped eraser head that had a face. But I’m a mess now. My house = pig sty. Kids will do that to ya….or at least to me! 🙂

  7. Bridget says:

    I’ve always hated candy corn – maybe I should give it another shot now that I’m old! 🙂

  8. Seriously? As a CHILD you’d rather eat beets than candy corn? You’re crazy. lol.

  9. Jamie Miles says:

    Okay Clarinda, that may have been an overstatement. But it would have been awfully close.

  10. Goofy is my favorite. 🙂 So, I had my kale today, but we don’t have one piece of candy corn in this house and I am now sad. Ellen

  11. Stasha says:

    Goofy is the best way to be. I saw your necklace stand, you are totally organized! Also veg rocks.

  12. Diane says:

    Number 10 made me laugh and there’s nothing better than a well-written comedy for me too! 😀
