Not Me! Monday

NotMeMondayBIG

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else is not doing this week.

I keep a running list of things I’m not doing during the week.

It helps when I write this post.

But sometimes I write stuff down really fast.

It seems perfect at the time.

By the time the weekend rolls around and I work on this post, a large portion of the items on my list no longer make sense. Why did I write that down again?

Forgetful? Not Me.

I did not watch an old (1983) episode of The Facts Of Life on On Demand when I could have been sleeping. You know the one where it’s Mrs. G’s birthday and Jo and Blair take her to a strip club and Blair’s boyfriend just happens to be working there? Well, I did not watch that one.

I did not spend $10.99 on a bottle of wine just because I liked the label and I knew it would make for a good blog post.

My son did not pick up a piece of carpet lint that was lingering on the floor. And it definitely DID NOT disappear in his mouth. I did not run over and do a cheek sweep hoping to remove said article.

I did not lay down on my kitchen floor and use myself as a measuring tool simply because I happened to be almost the exact same length (72”) as a floor mat I was eyeing and I wanted to see how it would fit.

And honey, I did not once doubt your ability to install our insta-hot without the aid of a plumber’s expertise. I was NOT nervous at all that the installation would be anything other than the success it was, even after you told me it was a “simple 6 step process”. You have my wary acceptance full trust in all the projects you tackle around here.

What have you not been doing?

I love the one about the floor mat. That sounds like something Jason would do! And yes, you must trust in that husband of yours to read the directions and do just a *fine* plumbing job. :-) Ha ha.
Thanks for the morning laughs! Yours are so good I have been afraid to try any on my blog. :-0

I can just picture you on the floor measuring for the mat!! Too funny.

I can never remember the little things either, I should write them out. (why I have not done one in two weeks)

Happy Monday.

Wow, always knew the span between my outstretched thumb and 1st finger was 8 inches (built in measurer), but to lay down and use my entire body? Brilliant. Well fellow meticulous housekeeper ;) loved your Not Me Monday.

Using your body to measure something. Thats so silly, I would never do that! I would not use my arms to measure curtains and bedding, not me!
