Would You Believe...

I am much more bothered by skunks than snakes?


I have had the same Subway/Jersey Mike's Order for thirty-five years?
( Ham and cheese on white with lettuce, tomato, salt, and pepper. )


I choose cottage cheese over French fries every time?


One of my very favorite scents is vinegar?


I absolutely hate being in the sun. I hate being hot. I hate being sweaty. 


I only write with one type of pen?
( Sakura Pigma Micron, size 05 )


I have an illogical fear of bleach and never have it in my house?


And I think Jiffy Raspberry Muffins are delicious?


It's all true. 
I swear!

Have a good day, my friends.
Thanks for stopping by!

Billie Jo

  1. I love those pens too! And I hate being hot, but am usually cold.
    Now I need to look for those muffins.

  2. I love the smell of vinegar too, Billie Jo! Nothing says "clean" to me like good old vinegar!

  3. Snakes and spiders.
    Your sub sounds good. Most of the time, I go with chicken breast and pepper jack or cheddar.
    French fries because cottage cheese is eww to me.
    Vinegar or lemon.
    I dislike being hot and sweaty.
    I remember those pens from my scrapbooking days.
    Not a fan of bleach.
    Never had the muffins; not a fan of raspberries.

    Happy April, Billie Jo!

  4. oh goodness.. I’m thinking of how many things we don’t have alike .lol. I am extremely afraid of snakes. love the sun and love basking in the sun. the smell of vinegar is overwhelming for me. haven’t used the pens and haven’t had the muffins. regardless of these things, I think you’re totally awesome and I love reading your post. 😂

  5. Hi Billie Jo. I'm not terribly bothered by snakes either, after my oldest son kept some in his room and I occasionally had to feed and take care of them when he was away. I like Jiff Corn Muffins but have never tried the raspberry variety. Perhaps I should. I am also pretty picky about my pens. I hope you are having a good week. See you again soon!

  6. I do NOT like snakes OR skunks, either one. I also detest the heat and being sweaty. I've never heard of the raspberry jiffy muffins but make the blueberry ones once in awhile. I'll have to look for the others to try.
    Blessings and hugs,
    Betsy

  7. I believe all of that but what I cannot believe is that our sandwich order is nearly identical!! I would swap the salt and pepper for mayo but besides that... samesies! I've never tried the Jiffy raspberry muffins but now I want to!!

  8. That's an interesting list of things. I'm also surprised you have never changed your order and subway/jersey mikes. I like the hot mushroom and cheese sandwich at Jersey Mike's. I do love cottage cheese too.

  9. I don't like the heat either. Thank you so much Billie Jo for your support. I wish you all the best too.

  10. I loved reading about you! Wow, love vinegar smell! I sure don't. And I am terrified of snakes. But your Subway order and your pen...I say when you find something you love, stick with it!!

  11. Well, BillieJo, you have some interesting preferences. But if we all were the same, the world would not be nearly as interesting as it is. I would like to sit with you over a cup of coffee or tea with some of those Jiffy Raspberry Muffins!

  12. I totally get most of this - well except maybe the cottage cheese french fry thing. Lol (good french fries are my weakness). But I'm wondering what you fear about bleach? I'm just wondering if there's something I'm missing and I should be more afraid. 😂 Blessings to you Beautiful!

  13. I need to check out those pens - I have a hard time with pens and the ones that worked well for me have been discontinued.

    Ever since I was a child, Cottage Cheese has been one of my favorite foods. With that said, if I have a chance at some tasty fries, I will chose those. That might also be due to the fact that fries are rarer in my life. I eat cottage cheese regularly.

    My mom was uber sensitive to bleach that we hardly used it growing up. There were rare times my dad would use a tiny bit in some laundry and my mom could always tell.

  14. Skunks? Huh. Do you come across them often? For me it's spiders. No way, no thank you. The older I get the less I like to sweat. I can be cold one minute, put on a sweater and within a few seconds - seriously - I can feel my body temp rise and I throw off that sweater so fast! Cottage cheese over French fries? No. Just no. :) Thank you for sharing a little about yourself! This was fun!

  15. I clean with vinegar. Works great.

  16. That was fun!! "I absolutely hate being in the sun. I hate being hot. I hate being sweaty." I agree with you 110%!! I also agree with you on the skunk vs snake. I do!

  17. I have that same fear of bleach! It is good to hear I am not the only one!

  18. OH, I love fine tipped pens. I haven't tried that one. I'll put it on my wish list!

  19. The right pen is so important! I love Pilot G-2 gel pens.

    Now I do love the sun. Hate sweating, but can be OK with heat as long as there is some breeze -- or water near by!

  20. I don’t like too much sun and heat. When I visit my son in Dubai I only go in the cooler months, but now the hot months are lasting longer unfortunately. I also use vinegar a lot.

  21. I have never heard of a preference for cottage cheese over fries before. Great choice!

  22. Oh the pens, there is nothing like writing a real list on real paper with a nice smooth pen. I have several notebooks, I rewrite the recipes I find online so I don't have to use my laptop or phone when baking, and write all sorts of ideas and lists in them. Bleach, I love it. I put some in a spray bottle with water, and clean the counters and sink. It smells so clean, and when my hands smell like bleach, it reminds me of my mother. (That, and the smell of Oil of Olay!). I hate being hot or being in the sun unless I can be in my bathing suit and get in the water. Being around water on a hot day fully clothed is torture. (I also don't dress too warmly even in the wintertime, I get way too hot in a sweater...have to be able to take it off!). I'm surprised you don't get oil and vinegar on your sub, it goes well with the shredded lettuce (with some nice oregano). Yes, we are all different, and I enjoyed this post, but then I enjoy all of your posts. :)

  23. I like to be hot, but definitely not sweaty. I would choose French fries over cottage cheese any day.
    And those muffins look delicious. Xx

  24. Oh dear friend....I love Jiffy muffins, I will not let bleach in my house (not for fear but nothing good ever happens when bleach is nearby), and I do not sweat. Sweating is gross. But oh my to choose anything (but especially cottage cheese...ugh) over french fries is just hard to believe! I love french fries. And I will say nothing more about cottage cheese!! Super fun post:)

  25. I have eaten so much cottage cheese the past month. It is one of my favorite foods and especially following some dental work that required soft foods for a few days. I don't like to be humid, but don't mind hot. I hate to be really cold as well. I prefer skunks over snakes, I think. I abhor mice!

  26. Do you enjoy the sun from the inside? Does your Jersey Mike's have an oven to heat subs? Or do you like them cold?

Thanks so much for saying hello!
