Tuesday's Ten
10 things I absolutely love and will not get over.
1. I have a strange love and admiration for…Buzzards. I love them in spite of their road kill breath. I think they are cool. (My dad carved these bookends for me. They are my favorites too.)
2. White blouses. I have eight. I think… that’s all I have. And every time I go shopping I look for one more. I can't help it.
3. I use and love Carmex. I started using it in 1977. It gives me that ever loving tingle.
4. I love Folgers Breakfast Blend coffee.
5. I am in love with Victoria’s Secret – Pure Seduction flavor of... spray, lotions, and body wash.
6. I love all creatures that cannot speak peoplese.
7. My favorite beverage – after my morning Joe- is water. I drink lots every day.
8. Gordon Lightfoot can still mellow my soul. (I realize that some of you may be too young to know his music.) Sundown you better take care, if I find you’ve been sneaking round my back door…

9. I wear hoop earrings. I've worn hoops since the 70's and have worn all sizes and shapes.
10. I feel creepy if I write with anything but black ink. It began when I worked at the bank and we were required to use black ink. From that point on, it just seemed the thing to do...write with black ink. However, I can do revisions in other colors.
That's my favorite can't live without ten. Do you have something you have used forever and don't want to give up?

I've also gotten to the point where I hardly drink sodas, but drink water instead.
Gordon Lightfoot is good.
I really can't think of many worldly things I can't do without, but maybe chocolate, tabasco, and thai food would rank high. And classical music.

Like your list. I don't know that I have anything that I can't live without. I'm sure in the middle of the night something will pop in my head. :) Have a great Tuesday.
And I'm a Gordon Lightfoot fan! I'm familiar with him because of my parents, and I do love his music.

Mystery Writing is Murder
Mason, Thank you. I think they have real character.
Elizabeth, Oh I had forgotten about those buzzards. They are cute. Yes I said cute.
Love your list, JW! Your dad's buzzards are very endearing. :)

I think I'll use them right now to listen to some Gordon Lightfoot. (Love that particular song, too.)
:-)
Oh well - way too many memories but of the SA they went, and back they came ..!! Have a good week ..
I counldn't live without my electric toothbrush and electric wine opener. I'm in trouble if we lose power for an extended period!
AEA, don't these lists shine new light on those who write them?
Welcome, Joy, Just reading that someone agrees with my white shirt love - makes me tear up. :)
Kat, I sang that song all day- sometimes in my head and sometimes out loud.
Hilary, I should have explained Carmex. Sorry about that. Sting and Queen - oh yeah!
Jane, We had an ice storm a few years ago and I learned at that point that I can live without many things, but please don't take away my electricity.
OH and PS- What's this Chai Tea you speak, Grasshoppers?
I could not live without the internet or my camera, paper and pencil, also my books.
I have several reference books about the Bible and am just beginning to learn how to use them. They are great - and prayer. Who can go a day w/o prayer?
Very interesting post, Teresa. Thanks for sharing.
I also use black ink pens. Ever since the academy and they told us we had to write our reports in black ink only. Too funny, we don't even handwrite reports anymore! Does that mean I'm getting old???
I liked your list as it was unique. Honestly, I don't know what I have that I couldn't live without but ask my daughter, I'm sure she would tell you I am really compulsive about alot!
Take care:)
AND my family has kept Carmex stock rising!!!
My ten? Sigh. I embrace life like Father Tim's Cynthia in Mitford!
Sooooo many things to love?
My Polish pottery mugs, crackers and nut butters and dried cherries, my old Bible, Bond perfume, my paintings (specially chosen to represent memories, friends, beliefs), my books (loads of old and new friends), my rugs,
my scarves, the two handbags my hubby bought to comemorate special occasions, Thai food, Mexican food, Chinese food, Italian food.
STOP!
Books -- I get nervous if I'm in a space that doesn't have any books in it
I write in black ink, too -- easier to read. I use read when I edit, but sometimes it's hard to read my scrawls.
I used to love green ink for some early drafts -- but it's hard to find green ink nowadays.
Blessings!!!
I even took my coffee maker to the Write to Publish conference last summer to have in my room.
Oh, and my four fur babies. Other people think they are cats, but we know the truth: children in fur suits.
I'm a bird lover, just not fond of buzzards. :)
I love blue ink.
It's great to get to know you:)

Lovely pics, too:)
