Who taught you how?

I have an acquaintance that is always asking me about my hairstyle, choice of clothing, perfume, etc.  She is a very sweet gal but not really in the "friend" category.  I was just asked yesterday about my outfit and thought about the people in my life that taught me how to.............

Fix my hair:
Mom, the queen of White Rain Hairspray.  Also, Belinda Carlisle.

Coordinate clothing:
Madonna

Apply makeup:
No one, hence the reason my make up resembles Tammy Faye Baker.

Drive:
Kermit tried but failed miserably so I would give credit to the dumpy little man that taught Drivers Ed in the summer of 1991.

Cook:
Not my mother.  I had to figure this out on my own.  Still working on it.

Clean:
My grandmother, dusting and vacuuming was what I did for fun at her house.

Swear:
Duh, Kermit!

Be a good mother:
My mother and Terri P.

Music:
Kermit, college friends, on my own.

Art:
Matt H when we worked together behind the bar.  On slow days, we had lots of time to talk about his love of art.

Love:
The Kidlet, Mom/Dad, Matthew, Scott, Ashley, Jamie and Michael.

Nice list!
I like your apply makeup:
Mine is also no-one, and that's why I rarely wear it, or I take the slips out of my Mary Kay eyeshadow packet and see what they say to do with all three colors!

Your makeup does not look like Tammy Faye, but that statement made me laugh!

That is a good list. I especially love the "love" category. You are a blessed woman.

TP, Ben the Bunny was my first baby. Til he came along I did not want anything to do with diapers and binkies! You are a good mama and I appreciate your words of wisdom when I am having a shitty mommy day. XOXO
