Random 5 Friday

I'm jumping on a band wagon...but it looks like a fun band wagon, where every Friday you post five random thoughts about what ever you want and then you can link it to A rural Journal Which I have never been to until today. I found it through Go West Feral Woman.

So anyway here are my 5.

1. I love that school is out.  I hate having to make my kids adhere to a schedule and the fight over homework.  

2.  I am terrified that I won't be able to find a job in Arizona.

3. I have 4 best friends but none of them have ever met. They are each from a separate chapter in my life.  It is my goal to bring all my best friends together.  I sure hope they don't fight over me!  Tee hee!

4.  I am an avid rock collector.  I have been collecting rocks since I was a small child and have a ton of them. Where ever I go, they also go.  People don't like to help me move because of it!   I don't get to travel out of the country but I have friends that do so I always ask them to bring me a rock.  I have rocks from Hong Kong, Germany, Amsterdam, Aruba, Africa, and I forget where else.  MK is in Haiti right now and hopefully will remember to bring me one from there as well.   About 20 years ago a gal I knew was going to Africa, and I asked her to bring me a rock.  But I did not see her again until about a year or so ago.  When we finally ran into each other again, she handed me a beautiful fossilized sea shell. It was the rock that she had been carrying around for 20 years.  I was blown away. Somehow she always knew we would see each other again.

5. I hate melons.  All Melons.  I can't stand watermelon, cantaloupe, or  honey dew.  Some days when it is really hot I think that some melon would taste really good, so I will try a piece.  I still spit it out and say UGH!

  1. So happy you joined in this week! And nice to meet you.

    I love rocks too -- but I'm sure I don't have as many as you.

    And you don't like melons? That's a new one -- but very interesting. :)

  3. You must have quite a rock collection. No wonder no one likes to help you move. Ha. Never heard of anyone who didn't like melons but to each his own. Like the new concept of five random thoughts. I might try it.

    1. My number one rule for moving is as follows:

      I don't expect people to move my rocks for me, but I do expect them to allow me the time to move them myself! Its amazing how many people cannot accept that simple rule.

  4. I'll eat your share of the melons. That's so sweet about your friend carrying your rock for 20 years. What amazing friends you must have.

  6. Wasn't there a movie with Lucy and Desi where they are in a mobile home traveling somewhere and because Lucy collected so many rocks the mobile home almost fell off the side of a cliff. Faint memory but your story about the rocks reminded me.

  7. Wow, I love your opening photo. I too am a horse lover although I have never owned one. I love rocks too but can't agree with you on melon. Never found one I did not like.
