13 Things No One will EVER say to me

WELL...I'VE TRIED UNSUCCESSFULLY TO LOAD THE THURSDAY BANNER, BUT BLOGGER IS GOING CRAZY TODAY! SO, IMAGINE IT...IT'S REALLY CUTE W/ PURPLE LETTERS & SWIRLIES...

Several of my blogging buddies have done 13 things they'll never say. I'm not brave enough to make a list of things I'll never say...but I will go out on a limb & tell you things I'm pretty sure no one will ever say to me. NOT EVER. But, if I ever hear any of these, I won't have to eat my words...I will be unconscious from shock!



1. Great tan! As a friend said to me last night, she & I are two of the whitest women she's ever known! I don't go out in the sun unless I'm coated in SPF 45 (and even then I still get a little pink!)

2. Thanks for cooking breakfast, honey. I doubt R would thank me for cooking pop-tarts, and that's the extent of my breakfast cuisine. Besides, why should I make breakfast when he's so darn good at it?

3. You need to gain some weight. To be honest, my dad DID tell me that all the time when I was in high school & college. No one's said that to me in 15 years, though!

4. If someone sees our family together, CJ looks JUST LIKE YOU. Particularly this time of year, when she's got a beautiful tan. CJ put it so well once when she said, "Mama, if people think I look like you, it's because they haven't seen my dad!"

5. Not tonight, honey. I've got a headache. Do I really need to explain this one?

6. Paula Deen has nothing on you! I'm a pretty decent cook, but COME ON. She's PAULA DEEN!

7. You're sure you don't want coffee? Me, turn down coffee? Nope. Ain't gonna' happen!

8. How was sky diving? I'm not that stup...I mean, adventurous!

9. You're such a great athlete! My philosophy is...Sports are for watching, not playing!

10. Has anyone ever told you that you look like Eva Longoria? Well, let's see, except for the fact that she's short & has a french boyfriend....Oops, I just woke up. NOTHING about me resembles the beautiful Gabrielle on Desperate Housewives!

11. I'd love to do my chores, Mommy! If CJ EVER says this one, I'll GLADLY eat my words. With ketchup, please.

12. You're so much like your sister. Love her to pieces, but we don't look alike & we certainly don't act alike. Very different personalities. But we really are friends. Her Christmas gift to me this year, a pillow that said, "I smile because you're my sister. I laugh because there's nothing you can do about it!" I'm glad!

13. Honey, why don't I clean the bathrooms for a change? That one just might send me to the Pearly Gates!

Fun list! Thanks for dropping by my place and leaving a comment! Love them comments! I can hardly wait, I've never been. It's only been here in Canada twice before and those were in Vancouver, quite far away. :D No one will know what this comment is about so I'll just mention Women of Faith Conference.

I'm laughing out loud in here all by myself which is a little weird. You're really smart to stay out of the sun. I wish I'd known that when I was in my twenties. The closest thing I have to a tan these days is all the little brown spots which I like to think of as freckles are running together.

I so get the sky diving thing. Oh my. It wouldn't even matter whether or not the chute opened - I'd already be dead from fright.

And the coffee. No such thing as too much.

Great TT! Thanks for making me laugh.

What a fun TT. Cracked me up. I'm with you - so pale and normally I dont mind but come summer when everyone else is all coppery looking and I shine....your list was so great it didnt even need a banner. enjoyed!

Around here we fight over who gets to clean the bathrooms. Oh, wait. Now I'm the one who's dreaming! :D

Enjoyed your list!

I can relate to most of these. I had a parent tell me one time that I might want to try the tanning bed. This year she saw me with a sunburn I got from just going outside for recess. She said to forget she ever mentioned it!

Ha - #13 really made me laugh! I don't think I'll ever hear that one either!

Thanks for visiting my T13.
