FLIP FLOP FLOOZIE'S
13 THINGS SHE LOVES ABOUT
BEING RETIRED!!!!

  1. I do not have to answer to anyone except my God and my husband now!!
  2. I can sleep in if I want too!! Yes, I love sleep!!
  3. I make my own schedule.
  4. I do what I want WHEN I want to do it!!
  5. If it is done wrong, well then I get to do it all over again and no one takes my pay or takes me down a notch in grade or worse yet calls me into the office!!
  6. I go places when I want too and no one tells me that I can or I can't...Walmart here I come!!
  7. I volunteer a lot but I am learning how to say the WORD....NO!! Oh and mean it!!
  8. I am also learning that some thing, like my health come before volunteering and I am loving that too.
  9. I get to go exercise now and was never able to do that when I worked. Always too busy with work and home.
  10. I get to go to "daytime" ladies bible studies!! YES!! I am throughly enjoying that, believe me!!
  11. I can take a nap in the afternoon, read a book, scrapbook or go to the Mall if I so choose!!
  12. I can go to the movies during the DAY!! What a luxury!!
  13. Last but not least, dinner is always ready for my darling hubby and I don't have to be stressed about it anymore. I don't have to think about it before going to work. I don't have to plan it hours in advance. I have time now. Plenty of it and I am loving it. I just don't know how long this will last!! I take each day one day at a time and thank God for this day of retirement!!

LOL! It IS the good life, isn't it? I only get to be "retired" in the Summers... I'm dreading my retirement ending in a few weeks! I'll sit back and watch you enjoy yours!

Since you shop at Walmart, you sign up for free samples of products at Walmart.com, too!

Love that list....love being 'retired' too. I tell people I am a 'kept woman'. That works for me.
Thanks for stopping by my list today. Have a great weekend. Also, thanks for your prayers for our trip.

I'm not retired, but being a Domestic Goddess is a close second! ;)

Happy Thursday!

Great list! Maybe in another 20 years;-) But I definitely need to work on that saying NO thing as well.
