1. I use my “green thumb” to … I don’t have a green thumb.  It’s pitch black.  Terence does all the landscaping at our house.  He’s great at it!  I do help pick out the flowers though 🙂

2. The secret to life is being content with what you have and appreciating it.  If you constantly compare yourself to others then you’ll never feel happy or at peace with your life.  Find your happy place and revel in it.  Thank God every day for what you have and remember there is always someone out there who will be better, smarter, richer than you…but there are also a whole lot more who have nothing.

3. I get my money’s worth by I shop for bargains.  Usually when I’m in a store I b-line straight for the clearance section.  My philosophy is “Everything goes on sale eventually….if it’s meant to be it will be there and ON SALE TOO!”

4. On a scale of 1 to 10, my level of organization is I’d say an 8-9.  I’m a major organization and clean freak.  I must have things “just so”.  Sometimes I drive my hubs nuts.  But I think after almost 13 years of marriage he appreciates my OCD tendencies.  ha ha!

5. A gentleman always Puts a lady first in everything he does.  Thinks of himself last, opens a car door, sends an occasion bouquet of flowers for no reason, writes a heart-felt letter.  I could go on and on….

6. Handwritten notes are  A lost art.  I love writing handwritten notes, but over time we’ve become so electronically driven with keyboards and texting.  I think a lot of folks are going to have carpletunnel in the future.  I always save the cards and notes I get from my family and friends.  They are so much fun to re-read years later and a treasure after your loved ones are gone. 

Have you all bought Valentine’s Day gifts?  I found something on Zulily today for Connor.  We’ve never taken him to Build a Bear.  They have a deal today for $15 for $30 at Build a Bear.

My co-worker told me she was thinking of taking her daughter there to get rid of her pacifier.  I thought that was such a cute idea!  If your child has a hard time ridding themselves of the paci then you go to Build A Bear and they stick the paci in the bear to get rid of it and it’s GONE!  It’s in the bear and whenever they need a paci they can love on the bear instead….
