All? about me!!!!

I thought that I would write to some of you who read my blog and let you know my "likes and dislikes"!!! I really don't know where to start except to say that I really, really like babies! All sizes, colors dispositions and all. They are all so precious, just coming from God!!! Even those who didn't turn out so well are precious! I was watching a program about the "Missionaries of the Poor" yesterday and the babies on that program were so precious and eager to learn, even though they probably will never learn any more than to smile, eat, etc. Some of my other likes I like, pretty much everybody. Some better than others but that's where my human nature comes in. And.... sometimes I get to know them and really find myself liking them more and more!!!! Lets get on to something else! Colors! I like blue, pink, red, green, white, and black becauseit goes so well with white!!! I was told by my Mother that she had me Consecrated to the Blessed Virgin when I was born and for two years I only wore blue and white!!! Maybe thats why I like blue so much. It has to be a light color, in any case, I'm not too fond of Navy blue! Pink and red came through my loving my favorite flowers, roses!! And the fact that I was a towhead or to put it nicely, a "platinum" blond as a child and into High school. I had no idea that everyone was envious of me! I could do nothing with my hair, it was a straight as a string without a perm!!! But the colors I mentioned liking went well with my hair! My hair started to turn kind of light brown and then it seemed that someone told me that I would look good in yellow, orange brown, etc. I just couldn't see it!!! and never did anything about wearing those colors! Food!!!! My favorite meat was and still is beef!!! Nothing better than a good beef steak cooked med., med. rare or just until the blood was warm enough to eat the meat!!! After that I like chicken, or any kind of fowl, then comes pork and then lamb!!! In the spring of the year, I love a meal made with leg of lamb!!! Not an old sheep but lamb! With that I like the usual potatoes, fixed any way and I can eat loads of them!!! Growing up on the farm I pretty much like vegetables but the few that I really can't stand are okra, eggplant, lima beans, etc. Some beans are O.K. and some I could care less if I ever had them! I love tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers and pretty much all the rest of the veggies! A lot of it depends on how it's cooked! My favorite fruits are peaches, strawberries, watermelon, some grapes, (not concords! Too slippery!) But I like apples, oranges, (just wished they liked me more!) grapefruit,( I can't eat that anymore because of my medication!) I "sort of" like bananas, pineapple, and one or two of the more exotic fruits!! I like peanuts, walnuts, (black and English) almonds,etc and I do like hazlenuts, brazil nuts, etc. I like raisins, dates, dried prunes, etc. I am a "Chocoholic" and could eat a pound of good candy in about three days!!! I'm not much of a coffee drinker, one cup a day, in the morning! And I have to have a little sweetener in it and milk or cream, just enough to make it not quite so black!!! I could stand a glass of wine with my dinner but I can't say that I am a drinker!!! One drink and I'm on the table dancing!!! And the headaches the next day! Not worth it!!! Incidently, I don't drink that one glass of wine either! I used to love to cook, before and during my marriage and then after Cappy died, I had to cook and then too, my Mother lived with me for a few years and so I cooked for her and when my brother Bob lived near us, we made an arrangement that we divided up the food bill and I would do the cooking! He then too care of my car, made sure I had enough gas and oil, and watched out for flats, etc. It was a perfect arrangement for us! Then as I got older, I just couldn't cook anymore and he was itll and moved away, so now if I can get away with a sandwich, that suits me fine!!! Wow! I've got to get out of here and get to doing something else!!! More about me later!!!!!
