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!
We did an epic cleaning of the toy closet last weekend… Who BUYS my kids all this crap to shut them up in the store or reward them for 100 percent spelling tests or out of working mother guilt???
WHO???
Yup, my thought was Patrick too…but I didn’t know he joined a white sepremecist group….yikes!
legos are the herpes of toys. you can’t get rid of them and they keep popping up when you least expect — or want — them.
(my son actually made this comment about glitter and crafting, but i think it applies here too.)
I could barely read past 5:30am yoga. Wow.
That weaselmomma knows here stuff. I am so impressed. I wouldn’t have had the smallest clue.
I never like it when fruit is in your fruit bowl.
YOU FOUND ONE!! YOU ACTUALLY SAW ONE!!!!
I ahve heard of these guys before but never seen them… That is one of he aliens that come in the middle of the night and scatter legos and other small toys all through your house.. WOW..I can’t believe you caught one!! I’ve been looking for them for years…
Love the “3 year old pain in the butt”
However they find the site is good right??
Totally Patrick from SpongeBob, like Weselmomma said. Not sure what’s up with his outfit though.
Still laughing at “3 year old pain in the butt.” ha ha ha……
A cone-headed mortgage juggler from A.C.O.R.N.?
That Lego dude has to be Patrick Star(of SpongeBob fame) in a spacesuit.
