Speaking of bananas… I have lots and lots of banana boxes piled up in my kitchen and living room. My kids are monkeys, you see, and they just can’t get enough bananas. No, really, it’s insane. They’re potassium freaks.

Either that, or I’m moving and banana boxes are handy as all get out. They come complete with handles, by golly. What’s not to love about that?

So, yeah. I’ve spent the last few days packing and doing laundry, plus everything else that I have to do on a daily basis. I’m freakin’ exhausted and there’s still MORE packing to do. Ugh. Moving is soooooo tedious.

This weekend is our actual move-in date. I’ll have the honor of unpacking everything in the new digs. Oh joy. I’m so excited. No, really. I am.

I need a beer.

No, scratch that. I need an entire keg of beer and somewhere to put my feet up. A bottle of ibuprofen and about 3 St. John’s Wort capsules would be swell too.

*yawn*

I’ve been Tagged with a “5 THINGS MEME” by JavaQueen.

Enjoy.

Alternatively, you could just take a short snooze. Either way, the results are pretty much the same. …Unless you really, really, really like reading memes. If so, mores the pity.

*heh*

5 Things Found In Your Bag

(Just your average, boring little ol’ black purse.)



(Obviously, I have more than (5) items in my purse. So I’ll just list the items that are most often used, with the exception of my cell phone. I only WISH it wasn’t used often. As a matter of fact, I prefer to turn the blasted ringer off when I leave the house, just so the kids won’t annoy the beejeebers outta me by calling every 5 minutes. < -- That sentence was too damn long.)

• (1) Wallet
  (A cherished gift from my eldest step-daughter. Look, it has my initial letter ‘S’ on it. Isn’t that nifty-doodles?)
• (2) Purell Hand Sanitizer
  (A must!)
• (3) Expandable/Folded Scissors
  (I’m surprised that my kids haven’t snitched these from me yet. I stole them from my mom when I was a kid… family heirloom. *heh*)
• (4) Pens, pens, and more pens!
  (Every time I take my dog to the vet, I grab at least two more. They’re my favorite pens… the green & black ones near the back.)
• (5) Blistex Silk & Shine Lip Protectant
  (Another must! I use this daily.)

5 Favorite Things In Your Room
• (1)
  
  Lions! (Winged)
  
  Lions! (Cross-eyed)
  
  And more lions! *grin* (Wooden and Wooly!)
• (2)
  
  Shrek Glass Set
• (3)
  
  A pair of Dollar Tree clowns with dirty faces. They’re filled with sand (I think), so they make great book ends… not that they’re holding up their end of that deal right now. …Holding up. *heh* I made a funny.
• (4)
  
  More lions, of course. But the other item in the picture is the one and only poem that my hubby wrote for me. It just screamed to be framed. Well, not literally you know, ‘cuz that would be rather disturbing.
• (5)
  
  Raggedy Ann… fond childhood memories there.

5 Things You Are Currently Into
• (1) Writing Fiction
• (2) Playing on RPoL.net
• (3) Searching for a new residence (We need more space.)
• (4) Procrastination. I’m soooooo totally into procrastination.
• (5) …eating chocolate?

5 Things You Have Always Wanted To Do
• (1) Punch somebody (deserving of such) in the nose… hard.
• (2) Fly like a hawk
• (3) Parasail
• (4) Hang Glide
• (5) Sky Dive

(…Hmmm. I think I see a theme here.)

5 People You Want To Tag
• (1) Gerard Butler
• (2) Russel Crowe
• (3) Clive Owen
• (4) Christian Bale
• (5) My husband, Bob

(…*heh* Whaddaya know? One out of five is doable. I am a lucky gal.)

All righty then, that was fun. For more entertainment, go play Stacy’s Trivia Challenge. A new game month started today!

Carnations smell divine
Chocolates are heaven sent
Pretty words on paper put a smile in my heart
But what I want more than anything, this eve,
…is You.

Soul kiss to lover’s lips
Rhythm in the night
Whisper softly to me
Wake with morning light

Keep me with you always
Treasured in thine heart
Love me soft and tender
For never shall we part

–© Stacy Anderson

Happy Anniversary, My Love!
(…best 5 years of my life!)

Have you ever had a pickled pepper?

I haven’t. Heck, I don’t even know for certain whether or not they exist. But as my washing machine began to agitate, I swear, by golly, this is what it said:

Pick a pack of pickled peppers
Pick a pack of pickled peppers
Pick a pack of pickled peppers
Pick a pack of pickled peppers
Pick a pack of pickled peppers…

Over and over again. Weird, that.

And yeah, I know that it’s supposed to be ‘peck’ and not ‘pack’. Tell that to my washing machine, okay.

I’ve been doing a bit of housework, took the time to balance my checkbook, and now I’m trying to decide whether to take blanket and book out to the front lawn for a bit of relaxation and sunshine, or make a run to the store for more laundry detergent. Wow. What exciting choices.

I think I’ll opt for the sunshine.

So how’s your weekend coming along? Whatcha been doing?

…Having your hubby home on Worker’s Comp leave going on four weeks now.

And not only do you *still* enjoy his company, but you dread the day he will have to go back to work, because you know that you will miss him terribly.

Now THAT’S what LOVE IS!
