I'm not big on the memes. They are all so much alike, and it's such a pain to pass them on (what with all the typing and linking of blogs and whatnot), but don't get me wrong, I'm always flattered when someone wishes to hand me one - it makes me feel pretty and popular!
What does pretty have to do with it? I dunno. Quite criticizing my good thoughts!
Anyway, Kelly at The Neurotic Mom, like AGES ago, chose me for a photo meme. Which was just unique enough to get me interested. I told her I would do it, even took a photo of my living room, and promptly let it sit in the camera for, like, FOREVER. Now, today, I give you 20 Random Things.
Well, except I didn't realize it was 20 and only labeled 11. Whatever, quite being so picky!
Here are the rules, according to Kelly (remember, she's the Neurotic one!): "All you have to do is take a picture of the room from which you blog, as is. DO NOT CLEAN IT! I will know. I'm creepy like that. Then number random things from around the room and tell me what they are."
1. This was obviously taken in the morning. That's when Miss Priss is on her lil' couch, sippy cup of milk all guzzled down and tossed aside, and her BFFs (Mickey Mouse & Gang) on TV.
2. The ridiculously priced Build-A-Bear dog that we had used her birthday money to purchase. It has roller skates so she can pull it around the house and feel like she's walking the dog (since the real dog won't let her!). Except she doesn't quite have the hang of it, so she winds up frustrated cause it keeps falling over. Oh well, she'll get it eventually!
3. That is raffia. I have big, BIG plans for that raffia. Maybe someday I'll actually produce whatever crafty thing I think I can make out of it. But I'm thinking it will probably wind up wrapped around Christmas presents.
4. Yes, there was toilet paper in our living room. For some reason, it took us a few months to FINALLY buy some kleenex.
5. That's Eddie, looking like he's about to kill me. He was very suspicious about what I was doing with that camera!
6. Books! Books everywhere, all the time! Priss is a book fiend, which we think is wonderful!
7. There's a shoe on the coffee table. Actually, it's MY shoe on the coffee table. Two guesses on which delinquent in that photo probably put it there!
8. The photo frame with no pictures. Well, the pictures that came with it, of course! It's my New Year's Resolution to have photographs of THIS FAMILY in all frames located inside our house.
9. Cooking Light Magazine. Because I had hoped that it would inspire me to actually learn to like cooking, per last year's resolution. Yeah, that one did not quite work out the way I had hoped!
10. A feeble attempt at child-proofing the TV cabinet. Plastic thingy is regularly found on the floor or on top of the TV stand.
11. See that awesome baby crib? Yep, got that at a yard sale for FIVE DOLLARS!!! Those blankets inside were made by my grandma when Sissy and I were kids. Now Priss has started getting into caring for her babies. She wraps the little blankets around her babies and feeds them with a bottle and puts them in bed. All in about 60 seconds. Then she does it all again! Of course, she hands the babies to ME when their diapers have to be "changed." What's up with that???
And that's it! I am passing this along to whoever feels like doing it. It's really quite fun! And a great post for when you can't think of anything interesting to say!
Thanks Kelly!
