There is something about me that my husband, parents, and friends don't know. Actually nobody knows. I heart quotes!!! I know it's not something that most normal people get too excited about, but technically "normal" is a relative term, just like the word "crazy". Anyway, about 7 months ago I started writing in my journal again, and on the back side of the page that I journaled on I just started writing down quotes. Comments I read, or saw on TV, or in a movie, or something a friend or family member told said to me or to someone else. Things that pop up in my head at random times for random reasons, and sometimes for no reason at all. Some are funny, some not so funny. I started looking through my journal, and realized I had quite the collection, so I thought I'd share some with you. Maybe you'll get a chuckle out of some of them, maybe more. Enjoy.....
