Are there other women out there like me?

OK, I have learned that I am not like the majority of women in a few areas. Here they are:

1) I hate malls. When I walk into a mall, I feel overwhelmed. I start looking in one store and then think, "Gee, there's 20 other stores that could have better deals!" I end up with one shirt at the end of the day and a feeling of, "What a waste of time."

2) Craft shows-I hate them. I mean, some of the stuff is kind of pretty, but to my way of thinking, it's just more stuff to lift off the shelf when you have to dust. I hate dusting too, but I think most women detest that.

3) State Fairs-It's actually a great place to go if you're feeling rather frustrated with your body. I have found that most people are pretty fat at the state fair. After walking around in the humidity, though, and seeing Johny win a ribbon for growing the largest cucumber in the Western hemisphere, I'm ready to call it a day.

4) Quilting clubs-What does one do with more than one or two quilts anyway?

5) Those little parties that you're always getting invited to where someone is selling candles or jewelry. You end up going because you don't want to hurt the hostess's feelings and then you end up buying something you don't want because, again, you don't want to hurt the hostess's feelings. There is one exception-Pampered Chef-you get to eat the samples!

I'm so proud of myself! I was talking with my Aunt Faith on the phone tonight and told her that I didn't know how to post pictures on my blog. Well, I just figured it out. Most of you are thinking, "Big deal. It's not that difficult." Yes, but I'm what one would call "computer challenged," so don't rain on my parade. I thought I would post a picture of my wonderful family. This was taken just two weeks ago the day after the arrival of our 4th blessing-Autumn Virginia Gruenwald. Adin, Arwyn, Ava, and Jim are seated next to the baby and me.
