The World According to Leslie

Yesterday I posted some truths and lies about myself. Today, I'm going to tell you which are which. 1. True....As a Girl Scout Leader, I have to be a registered Girl Scout. When I was younger, I was a Brownie Girl Scout. Last year, I started a troop so that I could be my daughter's leader. Now, I have been a Girl Scout for two years of my adult life. It's fun! I have learned a lot of things in the past two years. 2. Lie...I do NOT love animals. I do NOT hate animals either, but I do not like animals. I have a saying (and please don't get mad) that the best kind of dog is on a bun with chilli! lol I'm allergic to anything with fur. I used to have a dog, but had to give it away because of my allergies. I had a rabbit too, but... yeah.... allergies! lol I do not like animals! PLUS.... I'm a TERRIFIED of dogs. I got bit once when I was eight! So, I have been afraid of dogs ever since! 3. True...I have several (a couple hundred) sets of salt-and-peppe...

Yesterday, over at Musings from Mommy Land , I was reading about getting to know people. She said that she had played a game called "Two truths and a lie". You tell two things that are true and one lie. So, on her blog, she decided to do 3 truths and 3 lies. So, I decided to do the same. I'm going to give you 3 truths and 3 lies. Then, tomorrow, I'll tell you the answers (hopefully....if I can remember!) :) So... here goes.... you are free to try to guess in the comments which are true and which are false if you wish. 1. I am a Girl Scout. 2. I love animals. 3. I collect salt and pepper shakers. 4. I have a brother and a sister. 5. My dream job is to drive a race car. 6. I want to be President some day. OK....so have fun guessing. I'll tell you the answers tomorrow..... :) Until next time........

I know everyone has heard the song from "The Sound of Music"...."These are a few of my favorite things...."! Well... today I'm going to show a few of my favorite things. (I just hope I can get the pics to work right....LOL!) First, I have some pics of my Salt and Pepper shakers. Please know that this is NOT all of them. This is just some of the ones that I really like. I think they are some of the cutest ones I have. :) Of course...there is one rule to collecting salt and pepper shakers..... I do not buy them for myself. I have close to 200 sets (probably...I've never counted) and I have not bought a single pair for myself. First we have a 1953 Corvette. Tony bought these on our 1st Anniversary when we toured the Corvette Museum in TN. The top comes off and is the salt and the bottom is the pepper. Here is the Space Needle. Tony's mom bought me these when we went to Seattle, WA back in 2001. (That was November....she died 6 months later....so ...

I am so happy! I am typing this on MY computer! My brother-in-law put all my programs back on for me. I have my sister her computer back! I'm loving this! I can put addresses back in my favorites and I don't have to type them in every day! This also means that I will be putting up some pics soon! I have pics of Chasity playing baseball! I have Dance pics! I also have pics of my unicorns to put up...I have someone interested in giving them a home!! (Plus... i"m going to try to get some of my S&P Shakers on here so I can show off some of my favorites!) This also means that you should look for my stuff on eBay soon! I will have it up tonight or tomorrow night! *I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOO excited!* Until next time........

Recently (just a minute ago) I visited Avr over at Just to Write . Today she is talking about things we collect. She collects unicorns. So in her comments today, I added my comment: Well... I collect Salt & Pepper shakers. I have been collecting them as long as I can remember. The rule is that they have to be unusual AND I don't buy them for myself! They have to come from other people....My Grandmother has the beginnings of my collection at her house. Some of them date back to WWII. Her uncle sent them here from overseas when he was fighting in WWII. So that is why I started collecting.... HOWEVER... I too have a collection of unicorn stuff. It has been packed up for a couple years now. I have seriously thought about putting it on eBay just to get rid of it. I started collecting those on my 7th bday. A friend gave me one for my bday and I loved it. Then I would see them everywhere. Then it became an obsession for a while! lol Now I think I'm just going to stic...
