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!

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! :-)
