What's on My Blackberry?

There was so much random and idiotic stuff in the photo folder on my beloved BlackBerry that I could only sigh and say, "WTH"?

But, there were a couple that made me giggle a little bit.

I have a recipe box exactly like this one. My dad bought it for me when I was in the 7th grade for my Home Economics class. I was so excited that he got such a spiffy one. I found this one in an antique store (holy cow) and immediately picked it up for my Bella.

No memory why I took this one of the Beatles print I put up in The Big Room. I like it though. The Beatles, not necessarily this shot of it. Heh!

Yeah, Calvin helping me make the bed. I know, I know, but he makes me laugh!

I took this shot of the inside of my fridge for another blog. Embarrassing what is and what isn't in there!

Pup's momma is on the right and Pup's auntie is on the left. We took them to dinner a week or so ago. His auntie remembers that her momma was a bootlegger! She was amazing to talk to and I want to see her again and get some of her stories on tape. Seriously amazing stories.

What it is! It's coming! It is!

This glass owl weighs about 10 pounds! I could use him for a weapon! I just may.

Yes, this guy came home with me to be the little brother to the other one I bought a while back. I should hang my head, but I hold it high with my owl love!

My BFF bought this. It is the cutest ugly frog I've ever laid eyes on.

Daisy!

What's been keeping y'all out of trouble this week?

I've Heard

Image stolen from Google

If you see something, you should say something

If you shake it more than once you're playing with it

That laughing every day keeps the doctor away

A bit of sugar in the red sauce takes the edge off

A glass of red wine every day makes your heart smile

That coffee is, bottom line, good for me

That a dab of butter is way better than a dab of rancid oil

All you need is love

She's buying a stairway to heaven

A mittfull of vitamins is hard to swallow

Sitting at a computer over six hours a day will kill you

Nobody likes a smart-ass. Well, maybe this one isn't true.

Hendricks gin kicks ass

Exercise puts you in a good mood

No one is looking at your imperfections; they're too busy worrying about their own

Good habits are hard to form, but easy to live with

Bad habits are easy to form, but hard to live with

When a dog likes you, you can't be all bad

When a dog doesn't like you, I don't like you

A wooden spoon placed over a pot of boiling water will keep it from boiling over

Young girls do get weary

The sun is actually a good thing. Play nice in it.

Working hours in the yard is good exercise

I eat too much
I drink too much
I want too much
Too much

Overheard

In Excel class Tuesday, cute, blonde, leather-booted, 40ish instructor Michelle, walking into class with her darling black turtleneck (we know how I feel about these - just ask my daughters) and her leopard-print skirt . . .

Do you guys belong to me? You look like you belong to me.

I'm thinking that most of the men in that class were wishing they belonged to her.

I wanted to surreptitiously take a photo of her because she's the most interesting fashion I've seen yet on campus.

I've been SEARCHING for something interesting, but it is winter here and most people leave their coats on in class. I, myself, rarely take off the scarf wrapped around my neck. It's cold in them thar rooms!

It's a commuter college. Very small campus. I'm thinking that people roam in for class and then roam right back out. That's how I'm rolling anyway. There's no awesome library to hang out in, but I've been considering going to my local library to do financial homework since it is distracting at home. I apparently have the attention span of a 12-year old boy looking at his father's Playboy.

Ha!

Spring is right around the corner they keep telling me.

I saw the first sign of spring, for me anyway. Daffodils! Yes, they are from Trader Joe's, but it is the first sign for me.

Truth? It doesn't get nice here until May. Maybe not even then. Why do I love it here so?

Weird Obsessions?

Yes, my name is Deborah and I love Sock Monkees.

I love how they make both the butt and lips from the sock heel! How clever is that hmm?

Look at this darling little lavender one. The old, sad looking one is Burt. I bought him at a church bazaar (yes it WAS bizarre) back in the mid 70s. He is very tired.

I don't know why I'm posting about my love for the sock monkee. (I think I'm tired and wacky from studying.)

Let's talk about weird loves (obsessions).

• sock monkees
• luggage - love luggage! Train cases are a current passion. And I've never even traveled on a train
• dishes - I've spoken about it here. I have a very hard time passing up on brilliant dish sets. A current craving is for an old set of white cafe dishes. You know the ones. Very thick. Very nummy white
• handbags. Oh dear, I'll have to show all of mine sometime. It's a tad embarrassing though. I have an awesome collection of vintage bags as well
• daisies - I love them. My office is strewn with stuff with daisies painted or drawn or etched. My only tat is of a daisy
• office supplies. I really am a nerd. The most exciting thing about going back to school was all the cool office supplies I would need
• slippers - I have many pairs of scruffs. I cannot walk around barefoot. It totally squidges me out

I could go on until you want to poke out your eyes with hot sticks.

Tell me your obsessions!
