Durango Mom interview with my sister, Nan Myers! Part 2

OK Gang. Let's take up where we left off last week. My darling sister, Nan, was half way, or maybe a third of the way through her interview. Go here to read the beginning if you missed it.
Where were we? Ah, the typical day question...

What does a typical day look like for you, in a nut shell?


Let's just say that Nan took that nutshell and hucked it out the window and backed over it in her husband's dually. (that's a big-ass truck, for those of you who aren't of red neck origins, as we are. He doesn't actually have one, but if he did, Nan would dominate in it.). Nan, my love, in a nutshell, means 'briefly', but never you mind. This is where I thank sweet baby Jesus for cut and paste and move on.


I have been spoiled lately...Greg wakes up and gets the party started, which first and foremost, is JAVA!  Lunches are made and then I arise!  Coffee first, and then getting them out of the door second. I have to say morning, is becoming a treasured and " A GOOD MORNING" more everyday.The boys are relatively self-sufficient.  Ethan would forget his Head, if it wasn't attached...However, we are aware of this and try to keep him straight; We laugh a lot about it too. Besides,  I think a frantic search for a lost, singular shoe, minutes before carpool is to arrive, is just downright healthy and real. Buying that boy, an alarm clock was the best thing EVER.  He actually asked SANTA for one!  WHY the hell, we waited so long is beyond me. He wakes up to the Plain White T'S at 6:55, picks out some cute combinations of clothes, comes down stairs with sock in tow, and wants to snuggle on the couch. How lovely is that?  I walk a couple times a week with girlfriends at 8am. If I am not walking, then I am on the computer working on my latest 2nd job, wedding planner!  Then off to the Firefly, and work until 3.  Pick up the boys, cook, feed, homework, blah, blah,and probably work on wedding some more.  Repeat, with lots of nice LIFE moments in between.  Current roster of life moments are eating/sitting on front porch, playing a family game of bocce, taking care of our puppy Bleu, our cats Boo, Radley, and Lulu, fire bellied frogs, baseball and more baseball, climbing trees, and riding bikes.   

Yep. Cut and paste! Love it! And I'd love to be playing bocce with my darling nephews tonight after dinner in the thick humidity of the deep south. I LOVE humidity, BTW.

Next question.

If you could wear one outfit for the rest of your life what would it be?

Like Ivey, I am a 'forever in bluejeans' kinda girl. In the winter with various t-shirts, a J. Crew sweater, and a scarf every chance I get. I always wear a cool necklace from Firefly. (shameless plug!) Blundstones have been my boots for years but for Christmas my husband gave me the most kickin' boots ever by Fiorentini and Baker.

What products do you swear by?

Well, I kind of giggle here! Who would have thought that I would wear more make-up than Ivey (interjecting here- I rocked some make-up and some BAD hair in the 80's, didn't we all?) However, considering that she now wears none, it's not hard to do. 

I love the pink and green Maybelline mascara, don't leave home without it. Smashbox Green Primer is great for a photo finish and helps with redness. I love my Burt's Bees rhubarb lip shimmer. I have to say that my all time favorite morning ritual is gargling with plain old hydrogen peroxide. I brush my teeth, floss, gurgle with peroxide and brush one more time. It makes your teeth look great and your mouth feels so sterile and clean. I love my Visine and Red Flower Lavender lotion from Firefly.


OK! I'm out of time again. That means that I have to get about my day job. So we will finish with Aunt Nan next week. She's a veritable fount of information, is she not? I love her!


Have a good hump day!
