Top Three Thursdays

What are your top 3 quirks?
  1. The first one is that I am a number fanatic.  I only like odd numbers and I go to the extreme of adding the two numbers together.  For example if the number is 17 I will add 1+7=8 so that is a bad number for me.
  2. I eat in my sleep.  I will wake up and find crumbs and what not in bed because I eat and I don’t even know  I am doing it.
  3. I yell at my “cubs” like they are true children and sometimes people on my blog think they are really children. 


1. On a scale of 1-10, how superstitious are you, honestly?
Probably like a 5 or so.
2. Julius Caesar is quoted as saying, “I came, I saw, I conquered.” Which circumstance or experience of yours does this saying best describe?
Everything in my life to be honest with you.  I feel as if I have had that attitude a lot because I haven’t had any options but to conquer things that are put in front of me.
3. If I peeked in on your day like a mischievous little leprechaun, at what time would I most likely find you blogging?
While I am at work or after work in the middle of the night when I should be sleeping.
4. Re springing forward for Daylight Saving Time, is there anything you’ve ever been really early or really late for?
I always try and be places early because if I am going to be late I don’t want to go at all.
5. What are you most looking forward to concerning Spring?
The warmer weather and being able to ride around town with my sun roof open on my car.
6. Shamrocks are the national flower of Ireland and are picked on St. Patrick’s Day and worn on the lapel or shoulder. Do you wear green on St. Patty’s Day?
Yes I do only because little kids take things to far if you aren’t wearing green.
7. One of Caesar’s assassins, Casca, said, “But, for my own part, it was Greek to me,” which of course means he didn’t understand something. Probably his own lines in the play. Anyway, what is something that is “Greek to you,” something incomprehensible or indecipherable?
How some people are such idiots and can keep making the same mistakes over and over again with out learning from them the first couple of times.
8. Is March behaving more like a lion or a lamb where you live?
Both-It is bi-polar like it always is.
9. “An extra yawn one morning in the springtime, an extra snooze one night in the autumn is all that we ask in return for dazzling gifts. We borrow an hour one night in April; we pay it back with golden interest five months later.” -Winston Churchill. If you had one extra hour per day every day, what would you do with it?
Sleep or at least try and sleep because I never get enough sleep that is for sure.
10. Legend says that every Leprechaun has a pot of gold hidden deep in the Irish countryside. Aside from real gold or money, what material item would be in your dream pot of gold?
A house of my own
11. “The best things are nearest: breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of God just before you.” Robert Louis Stevenson. Look around you right now and tell us about something essential or beautiful very near you that you take for granted every day.
Misti-She is always there for me and some days I take that for granted.  I try not to but if someone is always there and you work with them it is hard to not take it for granted.  At least it is for me anyways.
12. Just for a bit o’ fun, click here  and then report your Irish name.
My Irish name is: Jacinta McNamara

Damn Curbs!


This is the first time I have done this MeMe but I figure why not.  I have a lot of stories that I can write about so this should be too hard.  Today’s story took place when I was 15 and learning to drive.  Let me just tell you that I thought driving was dumb at the time and I didn’t want to learn because I didn’t want to drive.  I wasn’t the kind of kid that was super excited to learn to drive.  Anyway now on to the story.  
My grandma took me out for the first time.  She took me to an elementary school because it was on the weekend and I could go slow and what not.  So we get to the school and we switch places and I start to drive.  Lets just say I was super nervous and it didn’t help that my little brother was in the backseat.  We were coming up to a curve and lets just say at that point I thought the car would turn itself I guess.  So I didn’t turn the wheel and I hit the curb but not only did I hit the curb I also took a chunk out of the tire and they had to buy a new tire because I ruined one.  This fateful day was the day I started having issues with curbs that I still have today.  The rims I have on my car now one of them is all beat up because of hitting a curb at work.  My other car I was always running into curbs.  
There is my story!  I hope it gave you a good laugh.  Have a great Tuesday!
