Today is my Birthday. Many thoughts have been popping up in my brain all
week-end. A lot of it is deja vu and unimportant, insignificant events
of my youth. It is interesting in the sense of reflection and
contemplation of who you really are as a person. It is enlightening for
me, anyway, to realize that bits and pieces of our personality have
always been there. If we could remember as far back when we were one or
two years old, we could probably say......oh yeah that was so typical of
me. But there is always your mother to remind you of what you were like
as a kid. My Mom does that periodically. She also compares me with my
brother and sister. I'm not sure exactly why it comes up in the
conversation sometimes, but inevitably it does. One of her favorite
(most repeated) stories is what a horrible eater I was when I was a
baby. She said I would close my mouth and my poor Mom had to try to pry
it open with the baby spoon. She was very concerned that I was going to
starve. She explained to me how 'good' my brother and sister were
because they opened up their mouths wide, and made their mouths like
tunnels as they were instructed, to let the choo choo train in. But of
course with me it was an entirely different story. And then she would
say that to make matters worse, my Dad would come by and say "cookie?"
and give me one to chew on. My Mother stated that she was so ticked off
at my Dad for doing that. And from the way she talks she hasn't forgiven
him yet. She shouldn't have been so worried, because based on what she
told me I did love those California oranges so much that she would
gladly give me as much as I wanted. Because apparently I didn't eat much
of anything else. But I ate so much of it that I would end up crying
with really bad colic. I must explain to you that it is one of the few
things about me that is no longer true of my personality. Because I just
love to eat!!! I once did one of those internet quizzes on someone's
Blog. One of the questions was: "Which would you rather do? Have sex or
eat? " I have to tell you that I really had to think very hard and must
have spent a lot of time mulling over that one question! Hey did you
really think I was going to tell you what I answered on my public Blog!
Jonielectric and I are still working on my website. It is coming
together little by little. I hope that it will be up and running very
soon. Maybe after it's all set up I'll be more likely to answer those
kinds of questions. Remember these important phrases until next time. (
