Re #14 – we have something in common. I learned about rooting plants from my mom whe I was a little girl and have been doing it ever since.

Thank you for sharing. I think you have embodied the concept of ‘make this a good day for yourself’.

My wife, Sis, and I finally made it to Ireland a couple of years ago. While we were there we took over 500 pictures. After we got home I took about 10 of the most meaningful ones and sent them out to be put on coffee mugs (Snapfish as I recall).

Now, when I have my coffee in the morning (2 LARGE cups), I re-live moments of our beautiful time in Ireland. I suspect your cups from various places does much the same for you.

I just got one for 25 things: the couples edition. what’s next? pets?

I have to say right off I hardly knew you but you were the first speaker for me at NAMS.

If anyone wanted to know a little bit more about you they just found out a lot more than expected today.

I cry when a comedy has a happy ending like in “Mall Cop”.

I do not know anything a about Meme for that mater what it means.

I do know what will be posted on my next blog.

You gave me inspiration well before NAMS on that Blogtalk Radio show where you said, this is not an exact quote, ” You can buy all of the IM stuff you want but it will only work if You use it. If it isn’t working it’s because YOU didn’t use it”

Happy Valentines Day!

I am also a deck kind of person. At our home in Vermont, Toad Hall, we have a long deck facing south that runs the length of the house. I go sit out there with my wireless connection and read emails and such

At Rose Arbour, our bed and breakfast in Chester, VT we have a wonderful front porch that wraps around the front of the house. We sit out there and visit with the neighbors and guests. Front porches need to make a comeback in America. A lot of community can be built from front porches.

I too am an inveterate rooter. (Be careful though. Ask your Australian friends what the word “root” means in Australia.) I have an Australian friend who was bowled over with laughter the first time he saw a Roto-Rooter truck.

I am an avid container gardener, My most precious container plant is the Cymbidium orchid my father planted over 50 years ago. It still blooms beautifully and has been divided numerous times. A reminder of how blessed I was to have him as a father.

OK, now I am going to get all teary.

Thanks for sharing, and I am so grateful for your recovery from your accident. God had plans for you, and we are blessed by them.

I have rootings going in my kitchen right now!

I also cry at sentimental movies, commercials & shows. I cry every week when we watch Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Hallmark commercials (especially at Christmas) get me every time.

I’m also a recovering perfectionist.

I too got a mug for Valentine’s Day. Red with white hearts. I love the color red!

We never did the tooth fairy thing here either, but also give my children gifts on Valentine’s Day.

I was paralyzed, horribly scarred, 80% deaf and suffered brain damage and regressive memory loss. I was in bed for weeks, and sent home told I may never work again.

I had a miraculous recovery, and have had a very deep appreciation for life ever since. A beautiful sunrise or a happy moment still make my day…

#11 – I got a Valentines coffee mug for Valentines Day this year

#10 – Melissa, It looked strange. Will let you know what I think of it after I’ve watched it. Thanks for the warning

You refer to that issue several times. I also spent several months lying (not that severe stuff, but not the most pleasant as well). And for me it was a good time to think over the stuff in my life.

What was it for you?

10. I love Netflix. The next movie in my queue is Burn After Reading. (this movie is pretty strange – and not one I would recommend to anyone, lol. I was expecting it to be so much better then it was)

I suppose it all stems from the fact that I once had an epileptic seizure after drinking about 15 Red Bulls and then sitting at my PC the whole night long. I guess that experience taught me to really watch it when it comes to any sort of energy drinks, hence why I’m very careful around coffee.
