Names to Fit

My love Is sound asleep. I would love to do that. However even after sleeping pills and happy pills I am still wound up tight. I have always been this way. Ready and Raring to go. (As my Mom used to say). Actually I think of lots of things she used to call me. For example, "Sue you are like a goose, wake up in a new world every day." As I thought of this last weekend, I got the giggles. I can imagine a goose with a smile on its face. They really do have a kind of smile on their faces. They look around and smile and waddle around the fowl yard, exploring each new bug on the yard, each new piece of grain. Really they smile as they explore the same yard they explored yesterday. So I guess that was a compliment. Actually I think it was because I explored a lot. Another favorite name was "Sue you are just like a Catfish., All mouth and no brains." In case you wonder, I say things without thinking. I open my mouth and let it go. No hurt intended or no embarrassment intended. I just do it. For example, one evening we were in the back yard. We, as in my Sister, Lou ellen, Fred and Joyce Harp, my aunt and uncle, and several others. The birds were acting up, I said, "Look at those birds fighting, one is attacking the other," What a dumb statement, They were not fighting, ( as Lou told me later). I am sure I was red when she told me. Heck I thought one was picking on the other. Another good one, "Sue you are like an Ostrich, You hide your head in the sand and let the world go by." True So True. I do not like to deal with issues, so I ignore them, maybe they will go away. I had lot of nicknames, one being Grandma, that was bestowed on me by my Uncle Hugh Tuberville. I lost most of my front teeth at once. Therefore I was Grandma at the ripe old age of six or seven. A few years ago, uncle Hugh said, "Hey didn't I used to call you Grandma?" I pretended indignation, and said "Yes you did and I am still mad at you for that." Of course we both laughed. My uncle Hugh was funny. OH and the best one yet, I never quite got. "You are mIss Nicey Nasty." HUH? I do like things in order and I do clean deep so I guess that was it, I could take it OK from my Mom but when someone else said it, I was livid. Because it was said in meanness. I do not mean to be so particular, but everyone has to agree I do not push my ideas on anyone else, I can walk into the biggest mess and still function. I can eat in a dirty house, and close my eyes to the world around me. I have no problem with how anyoen else does things but if I do not do it right, the first time, I have to go back and do it again. So that is my thoughts for tonight. I guess I should turn off the thougth process and get some rest. Goodnight, Love to all.
