Me, (YES, really me! 3 decades ago)

I’m not really sure why we look so weirdly truncated, but I’m sure it has something to do with my (non-existent) photography skills.

I hope you enjoyed the many moods, and faces, of me.

Pouty protest

I don’t wanna be doing this.  I’m only doing it cuz someone tried so hard to shame me about it.

(Hello, person formerly known as “Sweet friend”, I’m talking about you.)

(See??  I told you if I had notice I’d have put on a purple shirt, and my Aunt Jemima bandanna!  This time, I had notice!)  And lookey there, I’m cleaning up too!   Will wonders never cease?

Not anything drastic, just folding some laundry, the gargantuan mountain of Living room loveseat laundry.

The loveseat couldn’t hold it all, so some spilled into the wingback chair…  and the floor… Oopsie

I can do that from a seated position, so no real excuse for NOT doing it, just my arms hurt, I’m tired, I’m hungry, I feel like I’m gonna faint… any of those work for ya?  No?  Drats, I was hoping to get out of this for a longer time.    Oh yeah! I forgot, I have a headache!  No?  Still not working?   My stomach hurts???   Check my head, I think I have a fever!

Oh, look!  Willie stopped by to help!  You’re welcome, Jan C.!

Fine!  I’ll fold the stinkin’ laundry.

Yes, Shirley, it’s really empty!

There- happy now?

Next time, I’ll ask Mama, she’ll let me get by with it!

Purple Slob at Work

Purple Slob at Work

And here you thought I had all de-slobbified?  Wrong!  This is my real life, as it is.   This blog will go on forever, because as soon as I get one spot under control, another slides into chaos.  And it’s all my fault! No one else here to blame but myself.  sigh

Wish I had thought to put on my Aunt Jemima head wrap before this pic was taken!  And I’m not even wearing a purple shirt!  GASP

I just wish I could say I was surprised by a candid shot, but I saw the person holding up the tablet, and I paused, so my fingers wouldn’t be blurry! But that was all the warning I had.  If I had known there’s be a photo shoot, I’d have at least put on a purple shirt.  And the head wrap. and tidied up.   lol, well at least the first two!

After all, truth in advertising demands I show my slobbery for all to see.  Now you can all gaze in horror, and thank God, at least you’re not as bad as me!

Bandanna Ways, Reprise

Okay, the votes are in.

Not an accurate graphic, but I had to borrow one, since I don’t know how to create my own.  A terrible failing on my part.  I’m so ashamed.

(And in at least 1 case that I know of, the double votes are in!  Thanks for confessing Michelle.  I forgive you, but your penance is to write, I will not cheat by double voting for my favorite bandanna style, 200 x.  Oops, is my teacher voice coming out again??)

Drum roll please.  (Long pause while I go hunt up the drum someone who shall remain nameless, cough, cough, Grandmama gave to a certain little person.)

Okay, here’s the eagerly awaited results.  (Are you on pins and needles of suspense??  How much longer can I draw this out before the big reveal???)

Ta Da!!

Aunt Jemima it is, by a landslide!!

(Jan C. I’ll see what I can do about making sure Willie reappears sometime!)

Oh, look! there he is now!!

duck lips, beard and all

You will be seeing more of Aunt Jemima, I promise.

Costume for the Purple Slob

Now that I have established my role as The Purple Slob, it’s time to figure out my costume.

Hi, I’m Melinda.   Yes, the real me in my real bathroom.

First, I think I need a purple bandanna.

Why purple? Duh, I think the reason’s obvious.

Why a bandanna? Because I don’t think an eggplant would stay on my head.

Okay, got made the bandanna.

Now the question remains:  How do I wear it?

Like:

Nony from ASlobComesClean.com?

Willie from Duck Dynasty?

 I thought this one was hysterically funny!!!

Spike from Motorcycle Gang?

Aunt Jemima from Syrup?

Could I cram any more pix of me into 1 post????

Anyhoo, time for you to vote, America.

Which way should I wear it??
