No, Seriously...

This is my attempt at amateur photography, heavy on pictures of my nephew. Go check out Mistress Tootie Belle Rules the World, too. It's a little different.

A Bunch of Things About Me

I stole this concept from Blair. I put it on here cause it's rather long, but I hope it amuses you.
1. I bite my nails.
2. I have since I was seven.
3. I've given up trying to stop.
4. I want a puppy.
5. I can't have one here.
6. I'll be moving in August.
7. And then I'll get a puppy.
8. I have a four-week-old nephew.
9. I think he's the cutest baby in the world.
10. So far I've taken about 200 pictures of him.
11. Which drives my sister nuts.
12. Last time I saw him, I forgot my extra memory stick.
13. So I couldn't take any more.
14. She thought that was hilarious.
15. She hates that I call him Jammy.
16. So I have to whisper it.
17. I love my car.
18. His name is Harvey.
19. I don't know why.
20. That's just his name.
21. I love obscure songs.
22. Like Happy Happy Joy Joy from Ren and Stimpy.
23. And Found a Peanut.
24. Sometimes I find other people who know these songs.
25. This amuses me.
26. I memorize commercials.
27. I know the K-9 Advantix one.
28. And one for Baywatch Barbie.
29. I don't even remember how old that one is.
30. I've memorized most of the episodes of The Golden Girls too.
31. I say the dialogue with the characters.
32. And if I see the first two minutes of an episode,
33. I can tell you what the whole thing is about.
34. I watch a lot of TV.
35. I love Strong Medicine.
36. But I hate ER.
37. Whenever someone's watching it I sit there and yell at the TV.
38. But I'm always yelling at the TV.
39. I love Law and Order: SVU.
40. But I don't really like the original Law and Order.
41. The last time my toenails were all one color was three years ago.
42. For my sister's wedding,
43. Because they made me.
44. I don't remember where my bridesmaid's dress is.
45. I didn't like it that much.
46. I can't tell you what the church looked like.
47. I was too busy trying not to cry.
48. I didn't succeed at that.
49. I've had two knee surgeries.
50. Four months apart.
51. One on each knee.
52. I was sixteen for the left,
53. And seventeen for the right.
54. I was in physical therapy for fifteen months.
55. But I had the best physical therapist.
56. Her name is Karen.
57. And we still email.
58. Her husband is in Iraq.
59. Their son is almost three.
60. And he was the most beautiful baby I ever saw.
61. Until my nephew was born.
62. But I admit I'm biased.
63. I like kids.
64. But I don't know anything about babies.
65. Except that I could hold Austin forever.
66. The rest I'll learn.
67. I like to do everything by myself.
68. And I don't listen to what other people tell me.
69. This is not always the best trait.
70. I'm really excited about my one-year blog anniversary.
71. It's in June.
72. But I've already started planning what I'll write.
73. I love my job.
74. I work at Bath and Body Works.
75. When I started I thought the people were insane.
76. Which they are.
77. But I am too.
78. So it works out.
79. I can be a know-it-all sometimes.
80. Even when I don't really know anything.
81. I'm not afraid of snakes.
82. I like them.
83. But wasps freak me out.
84. Even though I've never been stung.
85. If you ask me what I'm thinking,
86. It will have nothing to do with anything.
87. I like Cottonelle toilet paper.
88. Cause they have a little doggy on the package.
89. I frequently change bath products.
90. So I don't get bored with a smell.
91. And I have enough stuff to beautify a small town.
92. I am easily amused.
93. And I love to laugh.
94. I like the number thirteen.
95. Just cause other people think it's unlucky.
96. I have to have Kleenex lotion tissues.
97. I blow my nose a lot.
98. It's sensitive.
99. I am too.

What do you see?

Thursday, May 05, 2005


Bathroom- the toilet and shower are in a separate room off to the left.


My computer desk- guess what page I'm on?


My room in the 'new' apartment. Clean, isn't it?


The den. It's not normally this clean either.

Nettie's Sanity

I have green eyes
and my hair looks like
Mariska Hargitay's
when I blow it out.
I am the tallest one
at Bath and Body Works
so I have to climb the shelves
but I don't mind.
I don't have a clue,
sometimes, about life,
but I have never wanted
to be normal.
And so I will not be.
I will sing
like a frog
when I am sick
and I don't care
what anybody thinks.
And I'm not cool
but you love me anyway
with my stressed out face
and my love of socks.
Because
I am Nettie
and I will forever be,
myself.
