Monday it is!! Mellow mood morning for me! I hope you enjoy these mixed memes!
Hahahaha!
Poor lil doggie!
IKR??!!
I can sooo relate!
I know that’s right!
Always. Loving the sweater onesie!
Bwahahahaha!
I’m laughing so hard, cuz that would be me!
Yesss!!
I hope your mood is elevated now, not mixed anymore!! Memes are always a good way to start your day and week! Amiright??
Manana!
I mean teepee rolls, of course! And the many roles they can play in our lives.
Unhappily, the rest of the pig didn’t survive the raid of the 2 little Indian girls.
Now I can de-clutter the poor little pig’s head. OR- I can make hog’s head cheese! Anybody up for that one?? Of course, it might taste a little rubbery…..
(At least we will pretend so!)
Boy, Goggling "animal corral made from tp roll" sure saved me a lot of time! It brought up this, and the heart Stamper, AND the Doll crowns!!
This is not exactly what I had in mind, but it’s so cute, I’m going with it!! Pinterest
Bracelets that might fit PPJr!! LearnCreateLove
I have very plain taste in jewelry.
Not my baby. Why bother going to all the work of making something, when you can just look on Pinterest for an image??
Lazy woman’s way to craft!!
This site will give you a wealth of other uses. I’m only listing the ones I thought of myself!
I was hoping for a visual here…. Found one!! (You can find literally anything you want to on Google, right??)
OurThriftyIdeas.com These are even pretty!
Not mine!! This is from : LearnCreateLove.com
I had all these grand plans, of staging these pix, with the girls…. But I’m tired!! And Google and Pinterest just sing their siren calls constantly!!
3 outta 9 ain’t bad! To mis-quote Meatloaf.
Update: My friend Patience, of Pressing Patience, sent me this:
Thanks, P!
And of course, I HAD to add it!!
Look at this:
Past Purdy spot
Pitiful. Just how long ago was it, that I posted about my spot ‘o purdy??
Aha! That’s it!! Perfect!
I know it can’t have been that long ago. Oh no, <groan> now I’m going to have to do research. <shudder> A word that is so close a cousin to math, that it gives me the heebie jeebies too.
Groan, it was only June 27. Yes, this year. Amazing how fast clutter accumulates!
So, once I recognized the problem, (That’s the first step, right Gary??), I determined to restore the spot’s former glory.
And then, Ta-Da!!
Here we are, back to Purdy!!
Yes, it’s the exact same picture. But it looks exactly the same, so why waste my time taking an identical pic??
Another 8 house post, brought to you by the letter P, and the number eleventy.
Well, not really Shirley’s sheets, but Shirley took them. And they’re not really sheets either, more like towels. Well, one of them is an old, raggedy baby blankie. But to a shelter dog, it’ll make their hard bed feel better, so we’re pretending they’re sheets. Got it?? Good, let’s go.
Sis Shirley and me.
Another towel?? Yep, this one was not included in the __31__ count, since I had forgotten it, till I saw this pic.
Shirley volunteers at a no-kill shelter, C.A.R.E. She has a huge heart!! So when I told her I had a towel, and a blankie to give her, she was thrilled!! And she drove all the way over to my house from Apollo Beach to get them! JK!!
Actually, she was coming to DD1’s Norwex party, and I happened to remember them before she left!! Yay!
She also cares for a feral cat colony, at her home. She tirelessly feeds them, then traps as many as she can. Out of her own pocket, she takes them to the vet, to get them healthy, then she spays or neuters them.
What a great idea!! Pinterest.com
Google images. Shirley’s cats would not pose for the camera!
If it sounds like I’m promoting Shirley to try to sell her, NO WAY!! She’s our sister in LOVE, and you can’t have her!! Go get your own!!

Bwahahaha!!
At first, I titled this : Animal Amusements”, and wrote
“Mea culpa! Mea culpa!
Please forgive me! I’ll try harder next time!”
But, I took one several more seconds to brainstorm, and voila!
Here we have Ark Art!
So that’s where it came from!
Sorry, guys, no rain dates!
If she only knew!
So funny!!
Poor, poor Bad Luck Brian!
Ain’t that the truth!!
Oh no!! Those sneaky bears!
When is a cat not a cat??
I know I posted this joke before, but picture was Jesus then! Therefore: totally different joke! My rules!
I sure hope this Ark art amused you today!
Happy Monday!!
Remember in Party Prep, I said more about DD1’s party to come?
Well here it is!!
Her party was for launching her Norwex business. (FYI: she signed up under our friend, Kristen. Yeah, the twins’ mama!)
What’s that?? Don’t know what Norwex is??
Not the actual product! Just the box her kit came in! Please notice the clean dishes in the background!
It’s only the best thing since sliced bread!!
Norwex is a company whose products let you clean your house, with just water, and a cloth. YES!! It’s true!
When I first heard about Norwex, I was sooo skeptical!! How in this world can you clean 90% of your house with just a cloth, and water??? HOW??
Well, Norwex is microfiber, with silver inside, so it self purifies. But not just ANY microfiber! It is so thin, it’s beyond the industry standard, waaay beyond! So, you are mechanically cleaning, not chemically cleaning.
With Lysol spray, bleach wipes, etc, you are chemically cleaning. In other words, you are relying on the chemicals to kill the bacteria. If you read the label on the wipes, you are supposed to leave them on the surface for 4 minutes!! Anyone actually do that?? I sure didn’t!! And then you’re left with all this chemical residue, that some products say you have to clean the counter after. What??? I’m trying to get it clean in 1 go round, not spray, wait 4 minutes, wipe, than have to clean AGAIN! No thank you!!
Instead, you dampen the Norwex cloth, and clean only the ONCE!! Because there are so many fibers per square inch, it picks up 99% of the germs, etc, the first time!! And no cancer causing chemicals, that you then have to clean off!! Win/Win!! After you use it, just rinse, and hang to dry.
Norwex Envirocloth, used, rinsed, and hung to dry.
Simple! (You are recommended to wash them once a week.)
Definitely the way to go!!
I’m signing up to sell it myself!! So, if ya want to know more, email me.

Oh yeah, 1 more thing, the mop!!
The handle is adjustable to the user. So, DD1 puts it at full length, for herself, then lowers it all the way down, for PP. As soon as PP saw it, she grabbed it, and dry mopped the living room!!
Isn’t it cute?? And easy for almost-4-year-old-hands to handle!!
YES!! I officially have trained my replacement!! No more cleaning for me!! Woo hoo!!! Happy dance!!!

I’m Goldilocks.
{Okay, yeah, I know my hair isn’t gold. And I don’t have any locks, just stubble.}
But, this is my story, and I’m sticking to it.
I’m looking for the perfect chair gardening stool.
First I tried Papa Bear’s Chair. (PP’s kitchen seat.)
Too hard!
Too hard tall!! (I know!! How could anything be too tall for me??) I almost fell off of it, when I tried leaning over to weed. Not good!
Then I tried Mama Bear’s chair. (PP’s dish washing stool.)
Too soft!
Too soft short!! (I couldn’t get up without help, too short!)
Now I’m looking around for Baby Bear’s chair, ya know the one that will be just right??? And I don’t see it anywhere!!
PP is fresh outta more stools. Whatever am I gonna do??
Another 8 house post. Brought to you by Goldilocks, and The Three Bears.
Ok, so in Charitable Choice, I posted about giving away 7 towels, just yesterday.
Tonight, there were 2 more baskets of laundry to fold. Guess what the majority of the items were??
If you said towels, you win!
In these 2 loads, there were 14 towels total!
Keeping these 10.
And we had just given away 7!! And there were 10 already in the cabinet!!
Total towels we had previously: 31 !!!! For only 2 adults, and 2 kids! Me thinks we had waaaay too many towels!
So, we culled out some more:
Towels going bye!!
Leaving this go round: 4 towels, 2 hand towels, and 1 washrag.
And 1 baby shirt, that’s too little for PPJr now.
And we still have 20 left…… {towels, not baby shirts. I’m sure we have way more than 20 baby shirts!}
Oh yeah! And 1 wash rag that only had a lil ole hole in it, that I helped along on its journey.
That was fun, ripping into that!! I love to destroy stuff!!
It wasn’t even rag bag worthy, at that point!! See ya!
Now, we aren’t suffocating in towels anymore!! But still have plenty, just in case the leaky skylight floods the bathroom! (again)

More Monday Memes, since it’s once again, Monday. Manic?? Well, I do have the girls, so it is busy, fer sure!
Is it bedtime, yet?? Cuz I’m already tired!
Amen!
Pretty much! Toddlers win at “King of the Bed!”
Said no parent ever!
Bwahahaha! I’ve almost killed myself several times on one of those!
Hmmmm, looks like we have a bed time theme going on here. I gotta go look up another meme, on this theme. Back in a flash!
N.e.v.e.r.
So true…
Yay for Oprah!!
Yup!!
Pretty slick!
True story.
Bwahahaha! Bedtime is only funny when you’re not the one dealing with the baby, or the toddler!!
Have a great week!
A new friend: My Favorite Recipes, has nominated me for a new award. Yipee!!
Thanks, Favorite!!
Here are the requisite
Rules:
This is something new, and I’m happy to participate!! You know I love books!!
Book Memes Library Loser Paperbacks Bibles
Convinced yet that I love books??
Okay now, on to the questions, please. Coming right up!
Um, let’s see….. 1. When the ending pages are torn out!!!! That makes me cry in anger, and frustration! 2. If the book is poorly edited. Once, the heroine’s name changed halfway thru. This really happened! I got all steamed up, ready to write a stern letter to the editor, then…… I read a different book, and my procrastination kicked in, and I never did it. 3. When the writer is boring. I still try to hang in there, but 3 times in my life, I’ve given up, and quit reading a book. It pains me, cuz I know it’s not the book’s fault! But, I do have standards, ya know!!
2. Describe your perfect reading spot.
Pretty much anywhere there’s a seat, light, me and a book!! Actually, I don’t even require a seat! I read while walking down the halls, at school! I’ve even read in the tub!!
3. Tell us Three book confessions.
I think saying I have put down 3 books, without finishing, probably counts as the first one! I’m ashamed of myself, that I couldn’t power thru! 2. I proofread, as I go. I hate it when books have too many mistakes. Fire your editor already!! 3. I binge read, when I find a new author I like. I will hunt down their next books, like they are food, and I’m starving!
4. When was the last time you cried during a book?
When did I finish reading the last book?? 2 days ago? Of course I cry when something sad happens! Those people are real!! DD1 does too. When either of us are crying, and we ask, “What’s wrong?” All the other has to do, is say “Reading, or book.” And we understand.
5. How many books are on your bedside table?
Here: I’ll show you.
Answer: 10. 2 Bibles, 2 Christian romances, a Strong Willed Child workbook, and 5 kids’ books.
6. What’s your favorite snack to eat while you’re reading?
Food, pretty much! Brownies top the list, naturally. And peach Fanta, if I have some.
7. Name Three books you would recommend to Everyone.
Bible- #1, hands down. Anne of Green Gables. {This is so hard!!} 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman.
8. Show us a picture of your favorite bookcase , or a bookshelf.
Well, since I moved, and got rid of all my bookcases, apparently my nightstand is it!
My nightstand is now my new bookshelf.
9. Describe how much books mean to you in just three words.
Oh, wow, another toughie. Let’s see if I can do this.
Giving me life. (The Bible literally gives me life, by bringing me to Jesus Christ. Other books give life to my mind.)
Now another rough part: Nominating just 5 people!!
As soon as this publishes, I’ll be round to all your blogs, bringing you the good news!
Thanks again, Favorite! Go check out this Chocolate Cake recipe of hers!!
