You have absolutely no problem sitting on your porch in your PJs at 6:00 AM waving to the neighbors as they walk their dogs
You take a shower and instead of putting on perfume you apply a vigorous dose of Deep Woods Off
Your clean socks and your dirty socks are all the same color
You choose your shoes for the day by deciding which pair has the least amount of muck on the bottom
You wear the same pair of shorts for two days and no one notices
Your dog is brown even though she has white fur
You almost always eat lunch standing up
An afternoon snack is a ripe tomato, warm and just picked off the vine
The neighbors goat doesn't bother you anymore....even if the pen never gets cleaned
You have a nick name for the rat that lives in your composter....."Harvey"
Your new BFF is the gopher guy, Roger
You rarely watch TV and only read the local paper
A good hair day is a new baseball cap
Make up is what you do with your husband not what you put on your face
that's funny!! i know...i used to live in the country...but we did'nt have any neighbors to wave too. my 'makeup' (mascara) keeps melting off from the heat...don't know why i bother? have a good weekend and thanks for following me!

hi kelley,
ReplyDeletecute post and oh so true.

....it's all true. The sock thing really scares me! xo kelley
ReplyDeleteEverything you describe about living in the country sounds great - except Harvey! He would have to go!
ReplyDeleteYOu hit the nail on the head.
ReplyDeleteVery funny post Kelley,
ReplyDeleteWouldn't you agree oh so true!!! I can identify with the shoes, but if I seen anything that remotely resembled a rat I would go screaming to the hills...the neighbours would hear me scream even if they lived 5 miles away!!!! I have a thing for rats or mice...I put a mouse trap in my daughters room and went to check it one day with washing up gloves on and picked up the trap (with nothing in it) and it went off and I screamed like a banshee nearly falling off a ladder...not good. Loved the picture of your roses they are really beautiful. Hope you have a great weekend.
Take care
Janine

I can completely relate to your post. Yep, that is more or less my life.Haa haa.
ReplyDeleteMy parents were both born and raised in Southern CA. Then one day when I was about 12 they decided to get out of the rat race and move to the country in Northern California, near Lake Tahoe. Now I'm where they were at 20 years ago, and I really think sometimes I need to take that leap and move to the country too. Especially after reading your posts about Ojai!!!
ReplyDeletexoxo,

too funny! but true!
ReplyDeletewe live in Austin, but in more of the hills/countryside....I can relate!
But the ole makeup gets on the face when i venture out the driveway!
Bug spray unfortunately is a must around here lately since we've had good rains...
xoxox
Yup, lived in the country for 20 years, that just about sums it up; love it!

Love the roses and so cool about living in the country, in your pjs.
ReplyDeleteI need to make my own list... Loved Yours, so funny!
ReplyDeleteI'd have to add salt to that tomato. Grandma always used to keep a salt shaker on her porch for the maters and melons!
ReplyDeleteToo cute Kelley! I just came back from 3 days in the country, so I can agree with you!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your blog very much! This was a funny post. Thanks for sharing. Claudia
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT and can relate - grew up in relative country (suburbs) and now married to a city guy!
ReplyDeleteVery cute, love your list!!
ReplyDeleteI'am loving for the country these days. What a wonderful post.
ReplyDeleteThe country sounds like a great place to live:)
ReplyDeleteOh so true. LOL. Great post.
