Fuffers!

I chose this template because it had fuffers; plain and simple.

Now, don't tell me you don't know what a fuffer is!  Ya gotta fuff the dandelion to make the thingys fly off!  And if they all fly off,  you get your wish!  Today being what it is,  my wish is for Duke to beat the everliving du-da out of Carolina!

Fuffers are a throw back to childhood for me.  My sister, Nancy, reminded me that I was the one that came up with that terminology for the dandelion.  I had quite forgotten that.  I thought everyone called them that.  Oh well.................When I think of Nancy and childhood I have to remember that she made me throw away my favorite blanket when I was just a tike.  Poor girl,  I have tramatized her with all my lamenting on that subject.  She marched me right out to the trash can in the back yard because "big girls don't need security blankets!"

In short order I heard the rumbling of the trash truck and before I knew it,  my security blanket was on its way to parts unknown forever and ever.  I was not a happy camper then and didn't get over it until about two years ago this very week.  And I got over it because of my sister too.  (I didn't know until two years ago that our mother had put her up to tricking me.  By the time I found out,  Momma was strumming a harp in heaven.  We'll have words later!  I promise!)

Nancy introduced me to Private Quarters.  I was feeling a bit out of sorts with the working world in 2009 when the economy took its toll on the promotional marketing business as well as the rest of the world.  Genna was getting married and I knew I'd want to buy MOB items and more.  I had to figure out from whence it would come seeing as Billy has never been one to shake the money tree in my direction.

Nancy told me about a company that had the most lucious sheets, comforters, featherbeds, towels and more.  She said if she ever worked again,  she's work with these folks because the products were so wonderful and the people were so much fun.  I talked with Kay Lafoon,  the area director and Nancy's friend,  loved what I saw and decided it was for me.

That was the best decision I have ever made!!!!!  When I got my first blanket, it was like heaven!  I called Nancy and said, "I finally forgive you!!!!"  I honestly think she was relieved!  It's been so much fun and I sleep in the "lap of luxury" if there is such a thing.

I went to Palm Springs, California last month on a leadership retreat, so I'll post some of those pictures to share the new treasures and fun people!

Fuffing the fuffer; stepping out into the world of Private Quarters,  writing this blog............it's all a little out of the norm for me.  I read a quote today that I think bears repeating:

"Life begins at the end of your comfot zone."  Neale Walsh

  1. This is the second post I've read today about security blankets. So...mine was blue. It ripped in half. I liked it cold so I would put one half on the window AC and pat the other til it got warm. Then switch. All while sucking my thumb. I miss the blanket and the thumb some days!
