Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. (I wonder what was in that stack of papers I stashed in abox the other day while cleaning... Maybe I'd better go check before I forget about it altogether!)

Kim said...

Martha, I was going to comment on the exact same thing! Except my piles are on the dining room table. It's a good thing we eat most meals in the kitchen. I think it's pretty normal to have piles of papers. I love dark chocolate too!

Kim said...

And I agree about the good tools and good shoes too. You get what you pay for.

Shelly said...

I love reading all these lists!! Thanks for sharing.

BTW, Have you ever had Treasures??? Dark chocolate with a caramel center. YUMMMM!

And Brian and I are 20 years apart too.

Rachel said...

I'm not very organized either. It sounds like most of us aren't so I guess those who are are abnormal.
#85-"I am rather opinionated." I am this way too, and because of it can often say too much about a subject...or give my opinion when it's not wanted.

Great list!

T said...

martha, my husband is the orgagnizer and he is starting to go threw all the "secret" piles.......he is even lost now, and has told me he can't even tell what is good and what is bad this time :(
Kim, did I mention shoes? cause it is the truth, I can't not by cheap shoes either. it just drives me crazy to by something that is going to be worn on my feet for over 12 hrs only to fall apart, the same for tools..... I like craftsman professinal my self.
shelly, yes I have tryed them.... I am actually more of a dark choclet truffel gal..... the little round dark choclet with a dark choclet center..mmmmmm.
rachel,you can give me your opinon any day of the week !

Martha said...

Well... I still haven't gone trough that box... maybe today I'll try to get to the piles...I hardly know what's good or bad either or it would be done!

Gudl said...

You don't have to be afraid of horses! Just be careful around them because they are big and strong, but not mean.

T said...

ooohh but they sence my fear! and their ears go back.....mmmmm unless I have carrots in my pocket,or an apple slice.

kristina said...

25. okay I speak one word of Korean, eedy wha it means come here 63. his eyes were all I could see 50. for a long time I had a left sock and a right sock

You are very funny. I like your sense of humor.

52. I am pretty much an open book 53. and you can read my face like one too
-me too.

judi/Gmj said...

SHE HAd A LEFT SOCK AND A RIGHT SOCK, NOT FUNNY TO HER MOTHER!!!
"t., put your socks on, hurry up and put your socks on, it doesn't matter which foot it goes on, put your socks on!" She was not joking and it was so frustrating. Now I can laugh, mostly because Em does the same thing!

Tracy said...

Great list, Thea. I guess your name is not a secret anymore... :o) Ha ha!

I finally got down here to read it. There were actually a lot of these that I didn't know about things you don't like. I guess I would say you are willing to try new things even if they are not your favorite? Hmmm? Like I remember riding horses and going fishing with you... I don't remember particularly that you didn't like it... Or is my brain just failing?

Or maybe you are more honest and comfortable with who you are now. I think that's probably it.
