New Challenge

Ok so it has been a few days since I wrote, but hey cut me a break! I cooked my first Thanksgiving dinner- turkey-dressing- green bean casserole-etc,  I made the whole shebang-(minus desserts-some lovely friends brought those). In the process I did not burn anything! I did,however, break my toe(dancing like a goofball can be dangerous- especially near ottomans) and break my glass kitchen table; a glass table, apparently , is not made to hold a 14lb turkey! Then off to the home front for Thanksgiving Lunch then Dinner, then back home again for the retail nightmare of the Saturday after Thanksgiving( I luckily asked off for Black Friday- I hate that day). So now I am back and grudgingly getting back into the groove of things! We (my husband and I)even made time to put up round 1 of Christmas decor and to buy a new WOOD kitchen table. A sign you are an adult when a new kitchen table can make you giddy! (A sign you are an artist/designer, when you are excited you get to paint and stain it too!)

OK, so that is what I have been up to- now to my new challenge- I am challenging myself to blog once a day- I will try to enlighten your day with my "wit" and humor-EVERYDAY! I know you are going to jump out of your seats! Persnickety things happen all the time, so I should be able to write about at least one a day right? I am going to try! My challenge to YOU is to comment and share! I want to know if anyone else finds this stuff funny or if it's just me... I hope it's not just me! 

Today's Persnickety thought:
I recently read a book (I have read so many I can not remember which one! I think it was in Who Am I? A great book anyone "searching" for themselves should read (http://www.amazon.com/Desires-Motivate-Actions-Define-Personalities/dp/0425183408) or it was a book about not letting people drive you crazy) explaining why things other people do, drive you nuts....Are you ready for this?...It's because that's what drives you nuts about yourself! Yes, so when some one is asking me rapid fire questions or complaining non stop about something- it means those are things I do not like about myself. ( my husband as noted that I suffer from these ailments from time to time). Another example is I know someone who is so disorganized it drives me batty- just listing off whatever is in her/his head....I have come to realize that I fight my own personal disorganization all the time! I have also noticed that I too will start a conversation in the middle- providing no background. This makes it really hard on the listener to understand you. I also have noticed people with very little patience can  affect me like nails on a chalkboard(which sends chills down my spine). I tend to complete things as quickly as possible- so slowness can cause me great aggravation(mainly with adults and my poor husband). Do you see the pattern emerging? Next time someone if really hocking you off- step back, think about if it is something in you that is really bothering you because it probably is!
