I am not always so good at receiving compliments.
Unless it's about my cooking.
I can say without conceit that I do that fabulously!
Some days I just feel like people are just telling me what I want to hear.
Unless it's about cooking.
Did I tell you I do that fabulously?
The one and only compliment I remember getting from my mother as a teenager was about my pie crust.
What an odd thing to get a compliment about.
But, it's true.
I do a great pie crust.
I am smart.
I am reasonably attractive.
I can refinish furniture like nobody's business- unless that is your life's work, than never mind.
But, I don't always feel completely comfortable hearing it.
They make me feel great.
Who doesn't love a compliment?
I know.
The weird people.
But, since that's not me.
I love compliments.
So go ahead.
Shower me with compliments!
I promise not to feel uncomfortable.
I would like to thank all my new followers.
I'd also like to thank Sylvia at Word Doodles for awarding me the Stylish Blogger Award.
I think your pic is adorable, and invite me for dinner, I'll let you know about your cooking. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday, New Friend! :)
I can certainly appreciate a good pie crust. They're tough. (Do you use butter and shortening?)
ReplyDeleteAnd as far as ccompliments go, I think you have a great smile. :)
My father in law made an outstanding pie crust, I wish I'd gotten him to teach me before he passed.
ReplyDeleteFunny how a pie crust can really leave an impression!

Jamie, thanks.
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday to you.
Grilling season here to stay soon, I hope. You can come for a cookout.
Jennifer, Sometimes I do shortening, sometimes butter. I prefer a butter crust. Kiddo would rather have shortening.
Matt, thanks for the follow.
Just practice. The more you make, the better you get.
Here's my compliment to you: You are an awesome commentor with insightful thoughts and very loyal to boot, and you do have a beautiful smile!
ReplyDeleteThank you much Tracy.
ReplyDeleteTry a soak in the tub later and feel better.
I admire anyone who cooks fabulously - because I don't. It's year since I made any pastry, because I was hopeless at that - so I'm going to compliment you on your pastry!

ReplyDeleteIt really sucks how a bad childhood can follow you clear into adulthood.
Paula, thanks for stopping by.
Everyone has their strong suits.
You are a published author and that's awesome.
Great post. I can so relate. Not about the cooking cause I suck at that, about the compliments.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great post on the letter C. I think we need a lot of compliments when we are kids, but sometimes we don't get enough. I love your style of writing!
ReplyDeleteVanessa, thanks.
ReplyDeleteBelle, you are so right. It's important to compliment kids.
Thanks for the follow.
I envy anyone who can make a good pie crust. I finally gave up...pie has too many calories anyway. :)
ReplyDeletePie is so good, I could never give up pie Patricia.
