Happy Potluckday everyone. So glad you came to partake in the potluck festivities.

Speaking of festivities… Tomorrow I am running a 24 hour contest for something really fun. 24 hours ONLY. It will start at 12:01 tonight – run through the entire 24 hours of January 13, 2009. So, please stop by tomorrow!

Someone arrived Nirvanaside this week by Googling, “3 year old pain in the butt”. I am not sure whether they meant coccyx or children, but I think I qualify on both accounts. Speaking of it… What is Up with Holly’s Coccyx?

A triumphal return to 5:30 yoga (yes, that is am). Maybe not quite triumphal… more like a yawning, sore and grumpy return. Let’s find out who is Peep of the Week!

In response to Holly’s Animated Life adventure, “It is jeanetic”: “Oh my gosh, I’m going to totally try the men’s next time…will I need to bring a sock? or do they provide that…like a nylon at the shoe store?” –Danielle and “Be warned. Putting your hands in the front pockets, makes your crotch itch. I’ve seen it happen many many times.” –Jill For making me both laugh and re-think the men’s jean thing, Danielle and Jill are Peeps of the Week! And now for a little story… I spent all day Sunday (NOT an exaggeration) cleaning out a toy closet. It hasn’t been touched since Christmas other then to open the door and do the coordinated shove & close. I am baffled by the way that toys can un-sort themselves into the biggest possible mess. It is a reverse big bang theory. I pull out a plastic bin that is supposed to contain hot wheels and this is how it goes:

lego, tinker toy, Mr. Potatohead’s feet, a sticker sheet, lego, 4 magnets stuck together from 2 different magnet sets, 2 puzzle pieces (not from the same puzzle), lego, random bulldozer, transformer missing an arm and head, lego, Lincoln log cowboy figurine, Geo Trax bale of hay, lego, walkie-talkie, beanie baby-snake, lego snake, rubber snake, lego, Happy Meal toy, lego….

All that sorting in the Hot Wheel container and not a Hot Wheel in sight. Legos have made a full Nirvana infiltration. They are small, but rapidly multiply. They are the rabbits of toys. I was working on sorting containers of just legos when I noticed this:

Wha? Did someone give my children the Lego Ku Klux Klan set for Christmas and I just didn’t notice? I turned him over fully expecting that what I saw on the other side would clear up that thought:

Nope. But really, what is this? What is in Holly’s fruit bowl?

1 lime, 2 lemons, 3 brown bananas and a 1/2 of an open packet of K2O Protein Water in Pink Lemonade. May your toys be free of prejudice today… P.S. Don’t forget to visit tomorrow!
