-I have never cooked with oil meaning fried with it ever in my married life, hate the smell of it and the unhealthy ness of it! I Hate all greasy foods, and when I eat it if I do I get sick {I know I know its physiological }
-I love to read histories, and pioneer stories, real life biographies and I just love to read in general {authors like anita stansfield, racheal anne nunes, claire paulson, betsy brennon green, nancy allen campell, dean hughes, Jack Weyland, etc love them!! } I read when I'm on my treadmill and can go forever with a good book!!
-I used to sing and act in plays all the time growing up when I was 10 I was Dorothy in the wizard of oz in a community play and won awards and went around singing at all a lot of places.
- I took math 9 two times and failed, I'm not a math person but I know how to write a check and balance the checkbook even if I use my fingers!! I moved a lot when I was young and a math teacher told me in grade 11 if I wanted to do good in math I needed to go back to grade 3! So I don't know math very well and I can't sew! But I can do a lot of other things! I was a good speller and I loved Biology. But I had to work hard to get decent grades, didn't come easy!


Well have a great weekend! Mine will be rainy but hopefully the sun is shining somewhere out there!!

I did not know that about you! ME TOO! I flunked Math BIG time. I only got 24% for final grade all through grade nine to grade 12. I am MUCH braver about admitting that now that you have. I remember my teacher having me stand in front of the class in grade three to count money or tell time. I couldn't do either and I hated that she always put me in front of the class just to humiliate me. And I can't sew worth a handful of beans either! I just never could get it right even though I took it as an option in School. Whew! So glad I am not the only one.
I too can keep a balance in the check book, but I think when you are a mom, some things just click and make sense more than others, when you really need to know something. However, it's painful when I can help the kids do their math homework. I always had the kids phone their dad (who is a MATH whiz!) while he was still at work and help them do the math homework over the phone. He did this night after night sometimes. SO glad he wasn't fired yet over that.
I love your first two snack items too. I will have to give the third one a try. Never had that one before.

Glad to know I'm not the only one. I had a math teacher in grade 10 who told me he I wasn't going to pass so I might as well quit, on the first day of school. I was devastated and just kinda accepted that and sorta quit. Not school just the class, just slacked that whole semester. I passed math 24 with flying colours. I know I'm smart, my husband thinks I'm hot, so whatever.
I went to Great falls last night with my mom and dad and my mom asked about your blog. She gets to it from mine and she just loves it. You are a spectacular blogger.
Hope you had a great week.

found out some new things about you. funny about the math thing, i'm no good at it at all. Rus (i actually think it's a family thing) is like a math whiz, can figure out anything in his head, where I need paper, fingers, and a calculator!!! also funny about how an eliptical hurts your knees, treadmills do a number on mine.(just read your comment). also didn't know you were a actress/singer. rus said you and d did a song in church once, had no idea... have a good rainy weekend.
