Thursday 13 Thunks – Walking in Memphis

Angi — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 08:38:23 +0000

The TT questions are brought to you by Bud, the color of KC’s hair and the number 33.

1. Robins have red breasts. Why are their eggs blue?

I have no idea actually.

2. The doorbell buzzes at the same moment the phone rings. Who was on the phone?

Probably Grandma Deb. She’s the only one who might call around the time the doorbell would ring.

3. It seems that there are several very popular memes each day of the week. Which meme did you first become a regular of?

Wordless Wednesday but I quickly added a few others.

4. It is about time that Berleen and Kimber meet in person. Should we start a collection to fly one of them to the other, or just hope Thom’s bus and get from Hawaii to Kimber in Arizona and take her to Berleen in Minnesota?

Who???

5. Tell us about your pets. Do you have one that you wish would run away?

We have two cats and two dogs. Sometimes, I wish one of our cats would run away. She’s a finky cat who hates to share and will make her opinion known to all.

6. What was the last thing colored red that you wore?

Does blood count? I don’t wear red very often but I do occasionally get blood on me when a child falls down and gets a bloody boo boo.

7. I have a train that runs by where I live several times a day. I actually find it peaceful. What’s the longest journey that you have taken by train?

I’ve never been on a train.

8. If Kimber threw a five dollar bill off a building that was five stories high, and Berleen threw a twenty off a build that was six stories high, who do you think would find the money?

What???

9. If reincarnation really happens, whose life would you like to know that you have already led?

I don’t think I’d want to know.

10. What are your three favorite possessions?

Computer and all it’s accessories, TV and all it’s accessories, and my digital camera.

11. A lot of people still believe that Elvis is alive. Have you ever worn blue suede shoes?

Nope.

12. Do you have siblings? If yes, are you anything alike?

I have one brother, Rob. We are complete opposites.

13. Has anyone ever asked you to strip naked and cluck like a chicken?

No. And I hope no one ever does.

Thursday 13 Thunks

Angi — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 01:31:11 +0000

These questions were inspired by the late George Carlin. His quotes are in bold. They were gathered from his routines. The TT questions are brought to you by Bud, the color KC’s eyes and the number 3.

1. Why do they ask you to get on the plane? Shouldn’t you get in it? When was your last flight?

When I flew to Hawaii in the summer of 2000.

2. Why do they call two planes getting too close a near miss? Shouldn’t it be a near hit? Have you ever been on a plane that was in trouble?

Never, thankfully.

3. If a mute swears, does his mother wash his hands with soap? What have you done when your child sweared?

My boys are still little so swearing is at that “oh that’s too cute” stage. Tim and I do remind Drama King and Little T that some words are grown up words not to be repeated by little ones.

4. How about a restaurant for anorexics? What would you call it? The Empty Plate? When was the last time you went out to a fancy restaurant?

I’m not into fancy restaurants. I prefer family friendly establishments.

5. Where do forest rangers go to ‘get away from it all’? What to you do to get away from it all?

One can never underestimate the power of a hot bubble bath.

6. Why do people who know the least know it the loudest? What do you do to get a know-it-all to shut up?

I daydream and eventually they realize I’m not listening to them.

7. If a man speaks in the forest and there is no woman to hear him, is he still wrong? Do you believe that men are always wrong?

I don’t think anyone is every ALWAYS wrong. Well…My brother, Rob, may always be wrong but I think that just our sibling rivalry talking.

8. If a turtle loses his shell, is it naked or homeless? Tell us about a time when you were caught naked.

It must not have been important because I don’t remember being caught naked.

9. Would a fly that loses it wings be called a walk? How badly do flies annoy you?

If they stay away from me and my food, they are allowed to live.

10. Why do they report power outages on TV? When was the last time that you went without power?

We had a small power outage a few months ago. It didn’t last very long.

11. If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat? Have you ever been or considered to be a vegetarian?

Never. I love steak too much.

12. If the cops arrest a mime, do they tell him he has the right to remain silent? Tell us about a time when either you were arrested or came close.

I’ve never been arrested or even come close at all.

13. Why isn’t there mouse-flavored cat food? Have you ever owned a cat?

I’ve owned cats most of my life. Currently, we have two cats.

Thursday Thirteen – Organization Tools

Angi — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 07:01:02 +0000

Organization has been a big part of this week around our house. We’ve cleared out the boys’ closet and the office closet and put in a variety of organizational items to make the closets functional. So, I thought I would list thirteen items that we use around our house to help maintain organization.

ClosetMaid Pantry Cabinet – One for a pantry and one for DVD/VHS storage. Yes, we still have a few VHS tapes around the house.
ClosetMaid Horizontal Closet Organizer – Stacked 5 high to store shipping boxes and envelopes of various sizes.
Wire Storage Cubes (primary colors and white) – For toy and clothing storage.
Hanging Closet Organizer – For the boys to keep their shoes and whatever else they decide is closet worthy.
3M Command Hooks – Hangs almost everything that goes on walls.
Storage Totes (various sizes) – In the garage for storing holiday decor and stuff we want to save.
Plastic bins (various sizes) – To keep related items together.
Toy Organizer and Storage Bins – Helps keep the kids toys organized yet in view.
Shipping boxes (reusing the ones we get) – Garaged items again.
Light Storage Reels – These work wonders to keep our Christmas lights and various extension cords nicely organized.
Bookcases (2,3, 5 shelves) – Hold everything from books (duh!) to photos boxes to art supplies.
Sheet Protectors – We use these as wipe-able boards for everything from weekly menu to the kids’ school folders.
Calendars – To prevent double booking and maintains the kids activities.
