Table Topics Tuesday: Look who's coming to dinner!

This week the topic is: What three celebrities would you invite to dinner?

1.   Rick Springfield

Those that know me know that this is a no brainer!  He's been the "it" guy for me since I was 12. 

2. Ellen Degeneres

I heart Ellen.  She's smart and funny....she talks for a living so she can keep the conversation going since I know I won't be able to say much in the presence of these celebrities!

And since Shannon gave us the libery of choosing living or dead I'm gonna go with

3.  Patrick Swayze

I would have really liked to have met him. 

It's raining, It's pouring......

Today's Table Topic's Tuesday on Shannon's blog is:

What is the best way to spend a rainy day?

I usually don't mind a rainy day, unless it gets out of hand and rains for a week straight! I can also do without any lightning and thunder!

My daughter will tell you the best thing to do on a rainy day is go out and look for worms. I can live without that too. But I don't mind watching it rain. Especially if it's a slow, calm rain. It can be relaxing to sit out on the porch on a warm night and watch and listen to the sounds of the rain.

Otherwise, I just like to sleep in on a rainy day. Lounge on the couch reading a book or watching TV. Maybe play a game with the kids or do a puzzle. I always seem to associate doing puzzles with rainy, dreary weather. I remember doing puzzles with my mom and brother on dreary days when we first moved to Wisconsin as a preteen and we didn't know anyone yet.

What about you? What do you like to do on a rainy day?

I'm a cryer

Today I'm participating in Shannon's Table Topics Tuesdays! Today's topic?

What is the last thing you cried about?

I cry easily, at the drop of a hat and sometimes at the dumbest things. I've always been very emotional like that. It scares my husband! So it surprised me when I read this topic that something didn't jump out at me as the last thing I cried about. I realized it's probably been a good couple weeks since I've cried. That is amazing for me! LOL

So here's a few of the last things I can remember crying about.

I cried while chopping an onion at work. I know exciting stuff. I hate onions and they always do that to me!

I cried because I had a Sunday off which is usually the only day our family has to spend together and my husband let the kids start eating breakfast before I came out of the bedroom. I was upset because we weren't making and eating breakfast as a family like we usually do on those Sundays.

I cried when we went to see Dear John.

I cried, like I often do, about my job. The fact that I only work part time and don't make a whole lot of money. Even though that is what we've decided is best so I'm around for the kids. The fact that I really don't like it. It stresses me out. I know I'm lucky to have a job right now and I only work part time hours but it still sucks. Which leads to more crying about feeling guilty about it! And still more crying that I'm as far along as I'd like to be in remedying that situation with my own photography business. And it just spirals out from there!

I better end this post before I start crying right now!
