In the sewing room (we call it that because that’s where the sewing machine resides) there hangs a small bulletin board on which is written:
Career ideas:
Pirate
Fairy Godmother
Story teller
Grammie
The last entry was a shoe in.. I had already been doing that for 7 or so years when the list originated… .. but the idea was to make a list of possibilities I thought would be fun.
The list has been there for 5 years… Anyone who knows me will agree I don’t make decisions quickly. .. But then today I began to wonder if anyone truly knows me at all.. All these years I’ve thought I was a reasonably good candidate for any of those vocations… Then, I decided I’d play one of those email games where you send out questions to friends and family to see how well they know the real you.
Question # 9 was: Am I a rebel or do I follow the rules? To my amazement 91.6% of the replies were adamant that I followed the rules!!!! This is not good news to someone considering the life of a pirate! ..I’m not sure it really suits the job description for a Fairy Godmother, story teller or even grandmother! You can imagine the heavy heart I drug around most of the morning as the replies filtered in…
But then I remembered that regardless of how one may appear to others.. it is what’s inside that counts. My own grandmothers taught me that! So I marched into the kitchen and purposefully unfastened the cream carton on the opposite side to where it reads “Open this side”!!!!! Call me a goodie-two-shoes will they?
ARRRRRGH!!!!!!! Where’s me eye-patch! …
I’m on a rebellious roll now for certain……. I’m seriously considering buying dark instead of milk chocolate!!!!! ARRGGHHH!!! Where’s me other eye patch!?

I knew there were pirates somewhere in my ancestry!
LOL -- You just open all the milk cartons backwards that you must. I know you do break the rules sometimes at least...I recall a certain number of extra sips you shared with BL and M from you DP cup last time you were here.
