Bathroom drawer, under the bathroom sink, on my shelf

That's where I found the next three items! Sorry for the late post! I've been trying to do it all day but kept getting side tracked.

This first item I have no idea what it's for and frankly, do we really want to know? I saw this in my drawer in the bathroom and wondered what in the wide, wide world of sports is this??? I took two photos to show you how big it is compared to the little syringes we use for the kids. I have a feeling I'm going to be trashing this unless you can think of a good use for it? Please keep your mind out of the gutter!


Item Number Two I found under my sink and wondered if I will ever use this. Ladies, please tell me if you have this same opinion. I love to have nice, soft, hairless legs. But how often do you decide, OK, I'm going to get all the hair off my legs but not take a shower? You can't use Nair in the shower because it has to sit on your legs to dissolve all the hair. Unless you turn off the shower while you do all your other stuff but to me, that's not a nice shower. I guess you could sit on the side of the tub and wait for the hair to dissolve and then jump in the shower but how long does that take? So what's the use of Nair? You tell me!

I LOVE the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice! It is so awesome. If you've never seen it, you should. But thank heavens for the movie because I don't understand hardly a word of this book. I lived in England for awhile but they do not speak like this. Obviously the book was written prior to my living there. :-) If you have read it and can understand it, feel free to tell me how uncivilized I am! I'm thinking a yard sale item??

How do you like the way I tried to beautify my items with some decorative little rocks and the doily? Makes it just that much more special and silly. Well that's it for today, see you back here again on Saturday!

The First Three Items!!

You'll have to be patient with me because I still don't really know how to format my blog. I'll have to get Cindy to help me when she comes in June! So anyway! Here we go with the first three items! Also, I decided that I'm only going to do this 3 days a week - Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. I just don't think I can do it everyday with all the 'distractions' I have running around this house! :-)


The first item is a snore suppressor! It's a mouthpiece that is supposed to keep me from snoring. I've been told by not only Sully but my kids that I snore extremely loud. I wonder why! It's in my drawer in the kitchen and I've got to figure out what to do with it! I don't think anyone would buy this at a yard sale, do you? It already has my teeth marks in it! ha ha

The second items are little metal plates that I have had since I was a kid! I used them along with my tea sets when I played. I usually use them to decorate with but found them today in my cupboard. What should I do with them? I still think they're so cute and can't seem to part with them! Not very amusing but cute!

The last item holds quite a bit of sentimental value to me. This shows how technology just wasn't around in 2002! My RS president brought this to me during an 'extended stay' in the hospital when I had the twins. I played Solitaire so many times on this thing, I wonder just how many! "Melissa, we've come to look at your privates again." says the doctor. "Hold on, I'm in the middle of my game of Solitaire!" I would say. Not really but I felt like it! So what should I do with this?

Remember, you tell me what I should do with the stuff. The four options are: Keep it, sell it, donate it or trash it!

First Post - Exciting! A New (Dumb) Blog!

Life is sort of difficult right now!  Lots of struggles and stresses!  So today I decided I've got to do something to make me smile and keep my brain working.  I thought, I want to do something that's completely stupid and off the wall!  So I decided that I'm going to create a blog again!  Blogging is fun, it's kind of like journaling and you can get your frustrations out!  However!  It's not going to be like my last blog with pictures of my kids and the cute things they say.  Rather, it is going to be the dumbest blog out there!  The silliest, most ridiculous blog that anyone in Bloggerville has EVER read!  I'm not going to try and compete with other women who have made these awesome blogs with all these sponsors, cutesy wallpapers and amusing and clever comments.  My blog is just going to be plain old dumb!  In fact, I'm sure a lot of you will read my blog one day and say to yourself, "That was so dumb!" But you know what?  I don't care!  I'm trying to keep my sanity here.  


So now you're probably wondering what an extremely dumb blog will say or what it will be about.  Remember those Seinfeld episodes when it was a show about nothing?  Well mine will be something along those lines.  One of my frustrations right now is that I can't get my house cleaned the way I want to because of some of the stresses I have!  I see so much JUNK laying around but JUNK that I can't seem to part with.  So I thought that I would take YOU, my friends, on a journey to view what kind of 'unnecessary necessities' I have laying around my house!  I'll 'showcase' three items per day and you will get a front row seat to see the JUNK!!  How fun will that be???!!  Well it might not be fun, but I do promise that it will be dumb!!!


This Monday, May 16, I will showcase three items for all of you to behold.  I'll even give you a description of the items and any relevant information.  Then you can give me your comments on how silly, ridiculous, kookey, almost irritating, and dumb my post was! AND, in keeping with the reality TV show tradition like American Idol and Dancing with the Stars, YOU will be able to vote on what I should do with these items! Doesn't mean I'll do it but you still get to tell me what you think! There will be four categories: Keep it, donate it, sell it, or trash it. Yeah I know it's really dumb!  But hey! We all need some entertainment out there!  And well, I figure if it's not going to amuse any of you out there, well, maybe it will amuse me!  


So put me on your calendar to view my blog on Monday sometime and see what awesome items I will have in my showcase!


The entry to your calendar might look like this:


Note to self:  May 16 - Read Missy's blog, even though it's dumb.
