I literally do not have a list for you. I have a few in my drafts, but nothing I’m ready to share yet (One is about ballet, one on twitter. These are the extremes of my life!) So, I’m sitting on my couch trying to punch out a post before Les is finished putting the kids to bed (they asked for a Daddy night! Woot!). And at first I thought, well…
1. I could give them a clue about what I’m doing all week. It is kinda interesting–geocaching, choreography and gas station attendants. (hint: see my facebook page)
2. Or I could write about the my new kitchen time-savers? Including a list of the things I no longer wash. (Intriguing, no?)
3. Then I thought about our garden! I haven’t told you anything about our garden! We have peas this year! And oh, about 9 more things…but you know, it’s all food. Not that exciting.
4. Next my mind flitted to my birthday money. It’s been a month and I still have $50 to spend. (Granted, I didn’t get it until like 2 weeks ago…) But I don’t even think I have a list of ten things to choose from. I’m debating between an Eclectic Whatnot camera strap and some books.
you should not be surprised: me. on the couch. taken just for you.
5. And while I’m thinking, I hear Asa singing in his bed. (Les must be with Lydia now.) And I thought about all the recent CDs and audiobooks we’ve been listening to. The kids have been loving 101 Dalmatians. I don’t even like dogs and I love this book!
6. But that’s a lot of Amazon links to collect. I’m not sure I’m up for that.
7. Another thing I could write about is my husband’s new conversion to vegetarianism. (Did you hear that Kristen?) Also, he’s not eating bread unless I make it. So, my cooking has really changed these last few weeks. And oh, that bacon in my fridge? Totally making a quiche for lunch when he’s not home. {B-b-b-baacon! H-h-h-hhaaaamhocks!*}
8. Of course, all this brings my mind back around to the whole no-niche-memoir-blog thing. Why haven’t I told you about all this stuff before? It’s been weeks! Why doesn’t my blog reflect what I’ve been doing? *sigh* That’s the Ten Million Dollar Question, or whatever number that is…
9. And of course, what about So You Think You Can Dance? Ever since Lost left us, I haven’t written about a TV show! I like a good rally-around-a-tv post. It’s always unifying. (So, right now? The Oooooo-ooo guy is making me laugh. And the girl with the super-short hair is my girl fave.)
10. And then I realize, SWEET! I just made a Top Ten list! See how easy it is? No pressure! Just write! And then link up below! For fear of sounding ridiculously internet-ish: Mwuah! Kisses to all of you for linking up! Honestly, your links make my day! I hope you enjoy some traffic, some inspiration and are meeting new friends!
*anyone remember that quote? it’s from an old cartoon…

Don’t like dogs?!?! What about your precious Toby?? I didn’t think you could get to sleep at night unless he licked your face? 😉
I vote for a Top Ten List about So You Think You Can Dance for next week!! 🙂
Love the photo.
And this is a nice, interesting list, too! I love reading people’s thought processes.
That “bacon” quote is Porky Pig, right? I’m hearing it in my head. Unless it’s the wrong reference. Then I’m just making up something I’m hearing in my head.
Thanks for hosting all of us, as always!
It’s actually Hampton from Tiny Toons! But close enough! 🙂
I really enjoyed this and you inspired my post this week! I was feeling a bit of writer’s block and some panic over not have a top ten list idea.
You inspired me to just embrace it and go with it.
What is that quote? Animaniacs? It’s driving me batty…
Yes, Animaniacs–Tiny Toons! LOL! One of my faves b/c it’s spoken by a pig! *snort*
Yessss!
*fist pump*
I loved Tiny Toons and Animaniacs! I mean, they had baloney in their slacks for Pete’s sake! Lol
AWESOME. My favorite song is the one where they sang the ingredients on the back of a candy bar or something. “Monosodiumglutomate!”
🙂
lol bbb bacon! yum! And I love Quiche! Great top ten!

Um, so I want to hear about your garden! Peas are EXCITING! *lol*
That second one is very intriguing. I would love to know what you no longer wash!
Would love to read about your vegetarian recipes! My husband would never go for it, but I’d love to have some for myself.
What on earth do you no longer wash?!?! I neeeeeeed this info!
OK, I must know what you are no longer washing in the kitchen. And the garden/food posts? Totally make my day. It’s food. Could there be anything more interesting? 😉
I’d like to hear about the birthday money!
I’m still working on a list, but I wanted to say hi and that I like this idea and am exploring your site!
#1 Staci- you are hilarious
#2 Dying to hear about Les being a veg-head!!

This may be one of the best top tens ever. I feel like I could blog every day like that. 🙂
Thank you for hosting.
I have a page on my site that lists more than 250 hops, memes, and photo challenges… some for each day of the week. Check under the header for the link to that page. I’ve also started a BlogFrog community that focuses on hops, carnivals, memes, and photo challenges. Go to http://theblogfrog.com/1504201 to visit & participate.

Yeah, what do you not wash. 🙂 And yeah, my husband wouldn’t dream of giving up the meats. I’ve been reading the Daniel Fast book but I’m not sure I could do that long term. Sometimes you just get a hankerin’ for a cheeseburger.
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
