Mar. 26, 2008 - Wacky Wednesday

So many folks are coming up with pithy titles for days of the week.
I'm not.
I can't.
I can't even seem to keep up with theirs.
But in appreciation for their timeliness and an apology for my lack thereof, I give you:
Wacky Wednesday.
This is where (for this particular Wednesday only) I try to catch up.

First, I missed Flashback Fridays with Kellieann:
So I'm flashing back to when this beautiful-hearted young lady
(who also happens to be my 18-yr old daughter):

Was a bit younger:

*sniff* Where did the time go?
(and no, the Chinese calendar isn't an indication of beliefs. It's a gift from a friend.)

Then, I missed Messy Monday with Mommyyyyyyy!!!:
And I was going to do a fresh picture of a new mess but the old one is still bugging me:
It looks a little different now.
But it's just as messy.
Only the papers have changed, to condemn the guilty....
(One more week of this mess just may prompt me to deal with it.
Till then, I'm staying in denial!)

And even before all that, I didn't share our most recent swap with Arby.
(Yes, I did thank him and let him know it arrived. Sheesh! I'm not THAT bad!)


This particular package was really interesting!
It had real life nature stuff!
I'm talking the kind of stuff that you have to wipe up after you look at it!
And this package caught Guy's interest, too.
There was information on the Osage tree.
The tree limb (ok, just a piece of one) has an orange hue that I've never seen but Guy remembers from his time in Illinois.

And cool, lethal-looking thorns from a tree that we don't have.

And seeds to plant our own bit of Kansas right here in Georgia!
And information on wildflowers and grasses from their area.
And the one thing both states have in common is the Eastern Red Cedar. I had no idea that they had them, too!

And, for dessert, a CD of the markers of famous Kansas.
(I say "dessert" since we're still working on the main meal!) 

Thank you so much, Arby!
Don't let the fact that I'm a slacker fool you into thinking we haven't been enjoying the package!

And last but not least:
(Hey! it was only day before yesterday! Something I'm not way behind on....)
Pam tagged me for What's On Your Fridge.
So here it is, in all it's glory:
(Does anyone else feel really vulnerable doing this?)

And since you can't tell too much from the picture, the stuff on the bottom is safe stuff for visting children.

My favorite is the little school bus at the very bottom.
When you push the bus, it plays "The Wheels on the Bus" and the lights blink.
I, uh I mean, they haven't worn it out, yet.

And the side has this:

Yes, I like refrigerator magnets. A lot.
And this is after I took it all off about a month ago, to clean the outside of the frig.
But so many are ones my kids made (see those mini tiles?).
And there's some from England and Scotland. Nona went. I didn't.
And then there's Maxine.
She says; "The kitchen just stays a lot cleaner if you eat out all the time.".
And that's my kind of logic!
And I'm supposed to tag 5 people.
But honestly, I'm really curious about all of you!

Please! Show me your frig!

Glad you were able to visit...I wasn't keeping you out on purpose, I promise!

Watched "I Am Legend". To see if you were just kidding about the dog and Will Smith dying. They could have at least kept the dog alive to keep company with the woman and her boy (and make for a poignant last scene as they all walk on to the compound). I told dh I'm glad he's in town for the next week as I'm still dealing with images of the Dark Seekers every night as I lie in bed.

Looks like you and Arby have a great exchange going...I would have taken you up on your offer--if I lived in some exotic location OTHER than Georgia! :-)

One benefit of being a little behind on posting is that when you catch up you have a really interesting and eclectic blog! Is the girl in the top picture your daughter? And are there dust bunnies on the top of your fridge like there are on mine? I noticed the refrigerator picture was a distance shot! I'm looking forward to the April swap. I have something to show from there area that is really simple and very cool!

Maybe I need a magnet that says "The kitchen stays a lot cleaner if you eat out all the time." Or one that says, "Teenagers quit messing up my kitchen!" lol.
The swap package looks really neat.

Thanks for visiting my blog and owning up to getting me sucked into the DailyLit thing! LOL I shall go back and edit to give you credit!

It is a fun way to read though.

And yes, I remembered M from James Bond - but opted not to re-read the Bond books. I've seen the movies and that's good enough for me. 8~)

Blessings,
Kym

I liked your catch-up post, but I really came by to say,

"Do you think I'm absolutely bonkers, crazy?!" I did not plan and execute everything, well anything, we had to go to! I'd be dead right now. 8)

I'm simultaneously really flattered that you think I might actually be able to pull all that off on my own and laughing my head off at the thought of it.

Anyway, I posted a clarification in case anyone else thinks I might be Wonder Woman. ROFL
Oh, you're fantastic! Thanks for the ego boost!

so I'm not the only one that has trouble keeping track and keeping up?

I think we must be soul sisters. I had really wanted to do that swap thing with you - but I knew I wouldn't keep up my end of the bargain.
My desk is as messy as previously posted.

But I will later take a picture of my fridge and post it. It would rival yours... and there are assuredly dust bunnies on top. They're there to keep the toy horse and wind up bug company.

You finished up everything. I love it! If you run out of cool names, you could call it "Two Birds With One Rock on a Day That Has a Name".

Or not. . .

Glad I got to pop in! I love your blog so much! I missed not getting around and visiting you. :'( So happy to be back.

Anyway, I about died when the officer rifled through mine! Receipts, pens...I mean a lot of pens, notes, Lego's, inhalers, ...the dog. What I would have given to know what he was thinking, LOL!
