What’s that saying about a monkey on your back? It has something to do with a problem that won’t go away, or always weighs you down or something. Well, Monday is my monkey. I just can’t seem to shake the weekend off and write a fresh entertaining post!
Without further ado, I’ll fulfill my tag-edness to Deanne at Fragile Flower and tell you Eight Random Things about myself—and because I think I’ve already done this about 8 times, I’ll tell you about the 8 Random Things That Are On My Kitchen Table Right Now. (Oh, your salivating in anticipation!)
1. A 12 oz container of Trader Joe’s Organic Ginger Snap Cookies. Oh my. The ginger is not hiding in those cookies either–it’s hot!
2. A black washable Crayola crayon. Lydia’s favorite thing to do with crayons is not color with them, but put them into a container and then pour that container out on the ground. Fun times.
3. My diaper bag hand purse.
4. My wallet. I just bought something online. I kinda don’t want to tell you. It’s embarrassing. I just do so well with checklists, when my friend Amber told me about this, I had to get it!
5. A cloth napkin. No, I’m not going green. I’ve been using it as a dishtowel. I got it as an engagement present (9 years ago this week!) from a co-worker and still use it today!
6. A pile of information about health insurance. We haven’t had health insurance since November. Lydia has been to the doctor a few times, but we’ve all got to go!
7. About 12 different digital camera, ipod, MacBook cords. I just can’t seem to find anything to keep them in!
8. A green glass dish shaped like a leaf with 4 melted candles inside. It’s a centerpiece and much cuter in real life!
So, there it is. Monday blogging at it’s best!



I thought by the title that the monkey might be Lydia.
Sounds much more exciting than my table!
Regarding your No. 7:
Don’t you wish they would pull some of the brainy-tech- engineery people aside and make them figure out how to eliminate all the heinous cords?
