Friend Makin' Monday: All About Me

I used to do something every Monday called Friend Makin' Monday. I made a bunch of great friends during that time and Kenlie is trying to get the band back together. I don't want to be a Yoko...so I'm playing along.

  1. You Matt lover you!

    I had no clue you played the piano, I think that caught me more off guard than the 660 Pioneer Woman thing!

    Go have a cup of coffee and enjoy your son, he should be getting off the bus soon!

  6. BEST LIST EVER!!!!!!! Matt would love to be stuck with you in an elevator :) lol!

    I had no idea you played piano! I do too! Or I did. I tried taking lessons this summer - no time to practice :(

    We have so much in common, I wish we were neighbors - except with the whole living-on-acreage-thing. Never done that.

  7. I love this meme. I need to play next week. Or maybe I'll link up later.

    A pianist? Whaaaaat? That's cool. I have no musical talent. None. And you're making a quilt? Why can't I be more like you. I don't have an ounce of creativity either. Now I'm depressed.

    I need my wine.

    Love that you plugged your crush!!!

  8. I often get my news on twitter too!

    That's super cool that you're a wonderful pianist!

  9. Hi! That's amazing that you're so good at piano. I took lots of piano lessons and just klutzed around on the keyboard. I did much better on guitar where the finger spacing is much tinier.

  10. I'm with Shawn -- the classically trained pianist thing (chuckling in my head because my brain thinks I said "penis") took me by surprise too. And being a city grown gal, even the suburbs feel rural to me, so I can't really picture living on a billion acres.

  11. Awwwww, I miss FMM! Seriously cracked up laughing when I saw Matt for #3! ;) Holy cow {calves!}, that is a lot of acreage, lady!

  13. I was taking a drink when I hit the "I didn't want to be Yoko" line. I almost spit up, then I hit Matt & really had to keep myself together. LOVE IT! You are a funny funny gal!!

    YOu would seriously die if you came to my house. I am so unorganized, it is pure chaos at my house. Can you come over & fix that for me please???

  14. Oooo list-making! I should have added that somewhere in my responses :)
    Thanks for stopping by my blog!

  15. Very fun learning more about you, non-Yoko! Are you still pretty good on a piano? Are we going to find out someday about why you lived on this ranch? :)

  16. List making...a woman after my own heart.

    You play piano and Craig sings.. you could be wedding singers!!

    I'm organized, but I'd be embarrassed for you to see my house right now. OUCH. It's bad.
