Tuesday's 10

Ok so last week for the Tuesday's 10 I did ten things I can not live without. Today Lifers, I will grace you with 10 things I can live without. Again, in no real order.

1. Spiders-  I hate spiders. I mean I hate them to the point that if I talk about them or see them, I have been known to have nightmares. I will be kicking and screaming, and the DW will have to wake me up, and immediately she knows what the dream was about. I believe they are my Hell.

2. Zits- I mean come on. I'm nearly 40 years old. Really? I still need a zit on my chin? I'm not sure which is worse getting them when you're in your awkward teen years, or when you're a grown man with gray hair? At least when your in your teen years all your friends have them too.

3. Nose hair- I'm pretty sure I can live with out nose hair. At this point in my life it seems like there's a lot of maintenance with the nose hair.

4. PMS - I'm sure it's no picnic for you ladies either, but not only do I have to deal with it with the DW, but I've got two girlie clowns that will go through this as well one day. Not looking forward to that.

5. Headaches - Now I don't get migraines like some people do, so I can only imagine what they go through, but I get my fair share of headaches. And I hate 'em. I can definitely live without them.

6. Grass - I hate to mow the grass. We have a pretty big lot, and hate it. If I weed eat and mow the entire place it takes me about 3 ~ 4 hours. Now I'm sure some of you will say well with out grass, blah, blah, blah. Whatever. I hate having to mow. I've got a great grass lawn mower story I'll post in a month or so. Stay tuned, it's Epic.

7. Old age -  I've always thought that our lives are backwards. It seems like it would make more sense if we were born old and got younger toward the end of our lives. Seems like by the time we were done, we wouldn't know anything, and we would be all cute and people would want to take care of us. Not some slobbering, smelly old raisin that our kids fight over to decide who has to keep us.Yeah I could live without old age.

8. Pet hair-  We have a dog and a cat. Although the dog doesn't come in the house much, but I hate the pet hair. But do you think we would touch them if they were bald? I can live without pet hair and the shedding.

9. Thunderstorms - Now me personally, I'm not afraid of storms or tornadoes for that matter, but my mother-in-law is, and she's persistent. We don't have a basement, she does, and we live 15 minutes away. I'm sure you can figure it out. Every time we have even a chance of a storm, she is on the phone. Now I know she is only looking out of us, but I think I could live without storms altogether.

10. Laundry - I'm sure this goes without saying really. I mean who likes or enjoys doing laundry right? And you know there are five of us, so this is a never ending battle. Not only is it never ending, but this is one war that can not be won.

So tell me what are some things that you can live without in your life. I'd love to hear your comments.

Tuesday's 10

So Lifers, today is my new Tuesday 10, so here goes:

10 Things I can't live without, in no particular order.

1. My Family - I know obvious right? Now I know that life goes on and all that. But my family really does me so much to me, and not just the DW and Clowns. My entire family. They have all helped to make me who I am today, and I'm so grateful for their love and support through the years.

2. Music- I love it. I love playing it (although I'm not that good), and I love listening to it. It's been a very big part of my life, and something I can not live without. I love the way music makes us feel. I love the fact that we can associate events in our lives with music. I love the way music can make us think.

3. Coffee - Sadly I can not live without it. I know it's a crutch, but we all have 'em.

4. Laughter- Anyone who knows me knows that I myself am a clown. I always have been. I'd take a comedy over drama or history any day.

5. Andes mint candies- What can I say. I love 'em. I get a bag or two every year for Christmas. It's like one of life's sure things.

6. Art - I know music is an Art form, but it's different to me then say painting/drawing/photography. I love the arts, although I'm not an artsy person per se. Maybe I could live without it, but I don't ever want to find out. I love the people that can take the simplest thing/person and make it/them art. This is not something everybody can do. It takes a special person to be able to see the beauty in something and make it show.

7. Freedom - We are so blessed to live in this country where we have the freedoms we do. I thank God for this country, and the men and women who have served, past and present, to provide those freedoms.

8.The Internet - Ok so this one is a little sad right? But when I think about how we all use the Internet so much now a days. I don't think I could live without it. Now naturally if it had never been invented then that might be different, but it was, and I love it. Every morning, I read some news, sports, and everyday several times a day, I read blogs. I social network, my DW uses it for business purposes. Let's face it, I just couldn't live with out it.

9. The Razor - Not the phone. I'm talking about an actual razor. You know by Bic, or whoever. I don't think I could live without one. Now I usually have some sort of facial gruff, but there comes a point when that gruff gets to be to much for me. It starts to itch, look bad and for me the gray starts to come through. Not to mention all the uses for the DW. So yes, I don't think I could live without the razor.

10. Winter House Slippers/Summer Sweet Tea -  Ok so this is sort of a two part er. But In the winter I can not live without my house slippers. I'm not sure but I think this might very well classify me as old man. Also in the summer time, I can not live with my sweet tea. It's virtually all I drink in the summer. I make a pitcher of sweet tea just about daily. Again, I know it's a crutch but like I said we all have 'em. At least I didn't say crack or meth or something like that.

So tell me, what are a few things you can not live without? I'd love to hear your comments.
