Things From My Mother

Those that know me know that I'm a total Daddy's Girl. But as I stood in my kitchen making lunch, I realized that I got quite a bit from my mom too, and I never really give her credit for that... so here goes a list of things (traits, habits, likes, etc) I got from my mom.

- Putting potato chips on my tuna sandwiches (that's what inspired this)

- Putting French fries on my cheeseburgers from McDonalds

- A love of avocados

- A love of baked brie

- Making cookies at Christmas time

- The knowledge that a woman can do ANYTHING

- My big toes (as in the first toe - not that my toes are big)

- The love of a good book

- Tea and toast (although I drink my tea black, and she takes her with cream)

- Always leave extra on the beaters (for individual raw consumption) when making cakes and cookies

- An appreciation for the real estate industry

To be fair to the other side, here's a list of things I got from my father:

- The ability to handle tools

- A love of Blue Cheese

- An appreciation for the blues

- Some of the curl in my hair

- Cutting waffles on the lines (and filling every hole with syrup)

- An affinity for games (both board and card)

- A love of Perry Mason

- An appreciation of floor plans

- Enjoyment from entertaining

There you have it - there's probably more, but for the most part, the rest of it is me.
