"Camping" Memories

Memorial Day weekend and everyone is out camping.
I've wanted to go camping since the first time I laid eyes on a TV set. I'd beg to go as a kid, but to no avail. Apparently, my dad knew better than to spend the weekend in a tent.
I'd fake the whole experience though. I'd gather sticks from the street and make a pile, then try to rub two sticks together to make fire (you know, like on TV). We even had a tent in our cellar-this moldy, MASH-like tent that smelled like old cheese- it had no poles, so I'd have to tie it up to the swingset. Next to it, I'd set up our 70's style metal frame hammock, then sit out and eat some barbecue chips and read The Enquirer, like I was really camping out......I wasn't even allowed to spend the night outdoors, so by 5:00, campout was over.
I still want to go camping someday. (just not in a saggy cheese tent next to a highway)

Feel free to comment :) Everyone's welcome

Grammar

I've been feeling paranoid about my grammar lately. Is it "I love you too" or "I love you, too" Is it 'anybody' or 'anyone'? 'I have to say this...' or 'I just have to say this...' Arrrrrrh....This is not something I used to have to think about, I used to just write and there it was. Now I'm so far removed from the last English class I took, I think I've forgotten some of the basics!! (And let's face it, the last 'English' class I had was just a coverup called 'Exploring Adolescence Studies' WTH??) I haven't had a good, real composition class in 25 years. (Should I start a new paragraph here??)
 No one likes to talk about losing their skills. But yeah, I need a refresher. I'm feeling like an idiot before every post I make on Facebook or Twitter. "Am I sure this is correct? They will know if it's not!! They're gonna think I'm an idiot! Oh, God, I pressed enter and I typed 'Happy birthday, from all of us here in Monti!' Was that supposed to be 'Happy birthday from all of us here in Monti.' no comma?! Is 'all of us' redundant?? Should it just say 'Happy Birthday (comma???) from us here in Monti' ???
 I've gotta hone up! Gotta dig out that English book again. Gotta study like it's 1991.

Adsense

Should I add ads to my blog, or does that look cheesey. I don't think anyone actually clicks on them anyway. I might add the Amazon button, because I love that site and it would be a quick link if I recommend a book or music.
 Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

New Book!!

Just got the book Cooking For Gracie. It's a mix of recipes along with this dad's account of his newborn baby who was born prematurely. I'm one chapter in (October) and I love it. Wow wow wow! Fun! And he's great at writing about the trials and tribulations of being a new dad.

Update

Oh my God. Totally ignore my last post. I sound pathetic.

Me

I'm a 34 and single.
Yuuuuuup. Single.
Is this where I thought I would be at this age? No. And I don't understand it. If there was anybody made for marriage, it's me. I'm as easy going as it gets. Yet, here I sit. Alone. My goal is to have some action by 35. Anything after 35 and I might as well call it a day.
I've had it with being single.

Y&R

Y&R's Victoria's hair is so awful, it actually looks worse than mine! She's a soap star, don't they have any money in the budget for a hairdresser??

My First Blog! EEEEK!

My first Blog!! Welcome to the 20th century, Janet! Maybe you'll make it to the 21st by 2025!
What a day to begin-when I have no news....It's cold, dreary, gray, and wet outside. I want to research homemade compost bins, but I don't know if I can have one around here. It's so cold for so long, I'm afraid I'll just have a wet box of smelly banana peals in the backyard 10 months of the year. And where do you get worms?! I've got to look into this.
