Not Me Monday - Photo Edition

Technically this is my 25th edition of Not Me Monday, but when you scroll down to see the photographic proof the things I didn't do this past week, I think you'll understand that pictures speak louder than words no matter how hard I try to deny it. But in the spirit that makes Not Me Monday so fun, I'll deny the following anyway:



This did not come home with me the other day after cashing a check in my bank's drive-thru.



I most certainly didn't keep it until I could photograph it for this post. Not me!



I did not get SO mad but laugh my head off at the same time when I went to stick my newest Goodwill purchase into the VCR one night because...





THIS is what was in the case instead of My Best Friend's Wedding.

A 1992 JANE FONDA STEP WORK OUT.



Thanks, but no thanks.





This is not our 9 foot Christmas tree hiding under our porch. Nope. Must be someone else's porch!





My sweet daughter did not decide to redecorate her room two days ago during a time out.





Nope. Not MY daughter.

That U must have fallen down and broke in two all by itself.





Speaking of Julia....

I did not buy her a dress on Saturday at OnceUponAChild that won't fit her for at least a year, probably two. Nope. Not Me!





I did not let her try it on anyway and let her run up and down the hall. Not on your life!



I did not notice the subtle change in her demeanor when I asked her to twirl in her new dress. The feeling of multiple layers of gauzy material had no effect on her whatsoever. None.



I did not pay $12 for this beauty. (the dress NOT the girl) Ha!





I didn't have a blast working with Tricia on my new blog template. Nope. Not me! I have more pressing things on my plate than making my blog function better.



But I do love the new look :)







What didn't you do this week?

  1. I love it. The bank tube made me laugh out loud. I've never done that, but Dan has!
    That dress is so pretty on Julia! But I think ANYTHING would look good on her--she's so beautiful!

  2. I'm laughing so hard at the mixed up movie! I was sure that it was going to be some trashy porn; but it was Jane Fonda. Ha! Jane Fonda/Porn~Either one would be a letdown! Where's Julia Roberts?!

  4. Darn Carrie...I have a few more Jane Fonda tapes I could have sent you. :} I was amazed this past summer how quickly our very large box of VHS tapes sold.

    Hayden didn't even know what to do with a VHS tape a while back - he couldn't believe you needed to actually wait for it to rewind to watch it again.

    Love the little dress - what a steal for $12 ! She is a doll !

  6. How funny that you took the bank tube home with you! Are you requesting any ransom money?

    The dress is beautiful! I love Once Upon a Child! I get most of my girls stuff from there!

  12. The bank tube and the video are both SUPER funny and definetly things that I would NEVER do!! My boys like to redecorate the letters in their room too!! I have had to hot glue an H, E, and N!! Have a great week!

  13. For some reason I was reading this fast, and thought that the Jane Fonda tape had been in your VCR and that PapaBear had been working out to it with his newfound time at home!

    Guess I overthought that one!!

    What a gorgeous dress you bought!

    We lost all of Nora's wall letters one day this week when a child I was babysitting "napped" in Nora's room...she was very busy, I guess...

    have a good week!

  14. That is so funny about bringing home the bank tube. Last week, I brought home the pager our church nursery gives parents while they are in the service. I didn't realize it until almost a week later. Oops, at least they weren't mad!

  15. I love the tube picture...what did they say when you returned it?
    I love the dress. I saw about 10 at Once Upon A Child I would LOVE to have a little girl to wear...but alas we bought fake Crocs and sunglasses after buying several pairs of shorts for this summer at Goodwill. All in a days shopping!

  18. That picture of the bank tube just cracked me up! I bet that happens more often than you'd think, huh?? Too funny.

    And ADORABLE dress!!I need to get to Once Upon a Child, soon!

  19. I used to work at a bank and you would be surprised how often it happens.

  20. $12?! That's a steal! Such a pretty dress. I'd have snatched that right up too- she'll fit into it eventually, right?

    I'm laughing at your bank mix up! Too funny!

    My Mom was a step aerobics instructor (and personal trainer) before she retired. Because of her I have an unhealthy love for step aerobics ;) That would have been a pleasant surprise to find that tape in there for me, haha.

"How can I help?"

So many have asked how they can help MckMama and her family during this difficult time and so I've set up a Care Calendar to help coordinate meals for the family. MckMama is coordinating childcare on her end, but you can contact me for the rest. Please leave me a comment in this message and I will contact you with more information on the Care Calendar as soon as I am able. Please be sure I can get in touch with you through your blog and/or an email address. Thank you for covering my dear friend and her family with prayers!

Elsa's Birth Story

The morning of July 1st started out like all the other mornings this summer. The kids let me sleep until 7:30 and then came in to wake me up. We ate breakfast and I started picking up around the house. We had spent the previous day at the town pool and because the heat index was going to be just as high again we made plans to go to our beach. The kids really wanted to practice their swimming skills but I didn't want to have to pay for the pool again. At 8:30 I lost my mucus plug and my brain started running a mile a minute. Could this mean we're getting close? Could I actually go early for a change?I turned to Google and learned that labor could be hours or days away. I feel I should warn you - if you decide to Google mucus plug be prepared to see photographic proof. Why people felt the need to post pictures to Google images is beyond me!  Moving on..... Just in case I ended up being one of the lucky ones who only had hours to wait until labor started I kept up with my clean

Shabby Apple Giveaway!

Spring is in the air and that means it's time to start thinking about changing over our closets from Winter to Spring. I don't know about you, but that also means it's time to look for a few new pieces to bring new life to what I wear year after year. Today I can make that job a little more fun for you because Shabby Apple is sponsoring a giveaway on my blog! Yeah!!!! I had so much fun looking through their collection of women's dresses and don't even get me started on their adorable line of little girl's dresses ! It's a whole new ballgame for me now that I'm going to have TWO girls to dress. In the end I decided to pick this beauty called Azure Coast to giveaway to one lucky reader because us mom's are always buying things for our kids before ourselves. I just might have to pick up one for myself in time to wear for BabyBear's baptism this summer. It's perfect for nursing moms! Want to win one for yourself? See below , but if you d
