Folding? What’s that? That’s one of those imaginary things like ‘making the bed’, right? (I kid. Mostly. If I get sick of folding stuff, I kinda just drape it and shove it in the drawer.) (And no, I don’t ever make my bed. Phooey on that.)
I also have a box of stuff I keep meaning to take over to iSoldIt to sell on eBay. I know, I could do it myself, but it’s a pain in the ass and I don’t wanna.
We did this one year, and the pumpkin plant overtook our backyard! No matter how many times we cut it, it would regrow that year. We ended up with two pumpkins big enough to carve that Halloween.
We just burned our Christmas wreath over the weekend. Prior to that, it had still been hanging on the front of our house.
We moved in a year ago, and still haven’t hung the pictures on the walls.
We have a 5 gallon bucket in the backyard full of soda cans from a party we threw in June 2007. The cans are all weather beaten and faded. I don’t know what to do with it, so it still is sitting there. (it was regular pop and we only drink diet, and we had a ton left over inside too, so I had no need of it.) I don’t feel like opening each can and dumping the contents, but can’t throw them out or recycle them the way they are. It is kind of behind the shed - no one but us knows it is there.
Whenever I kill bugs around the house, I leave their dead bodies on the walls as warnings to their friends, rather like the old tribes who put their enemies heads on pikes as warnings to keep away. This annoys my husband to no end!
Maybe you should introduce it to the Cooler of Death? Unfortunately I tried but couldntfind it by searching=(
Heh. I had no idea my rotten and forlorn pumpkin would be so entertaining for you guys. 
I feel validated in leaving it out there for the past six months. Mwahaha.
:o My Christmas tree, still in it’s stand, is still out in my backyard where I tossed it after taking down the decorations.
I got nuttin. Primarily because I’m the kind of guy who would still have his Halloween pumpkin and christmas tree - knowing this about me, I don’t put up a tree or get a pumpkin.
I have a little christmas tree I traditionally put on my stereo. I couldn’t be bothered to really decorate it in December, so I just hung a string of 10 lcd lights and my three favorite hallmark ornaments on it. I still haven’t put them away.
We still have a huge Christmas wreath over the fireplace, because we can’t find a container big enough to store it. A recent guest admired it, and then looked puzzled for a moment, as in “Why are there Christmas bulbs on that decoration, in April?” I laughed it off, and mentioned that the colors go well with the brick fireplace and the furniture.
I also noticed this week that while I had taken down my kitchen curtains to wash them before the holidays, I apparently forgot to put them back up. No wonder my kitchen has been so bright for the past six months. :smack:
I haven’t sent out Christmas cards or Brag letters in about 4 years. ( Not since the Happy Hannukwanzafestivusdivalimas* post card debacle, which no one got. morans!
*whatever the ad campaign was for Old Navy that way a metric version of all the winter holidays. That, my friends, was awesome.
When I was living in Minneapolis, I turned down the ringer on my phone to avoid someone who was trying to get me to go out with him (this was when I had “Havetopickitup Syndrome”) and forgot that I’d done it. A week later, as I’m happily watching a rerun of MASH, I hear a knock on my apartment door. It was a couple of Minneapolis’s Finest, who were checking up on me. A friend of mine from upstate (Hibbing, up in the Iron Range) had been trying to call me for days and I wasn’t picking up, so she actually called the Minneapolis police department to come see if I was alive…
heh. That was the first thing I thought of too. Fortunately, I have it bookmarked. And, now, for your reading pleasure … Cooler of Doom
Hmmm, Poop Bag of Doom/Death just doesn’t have the same ring to it…
Um…is that even safe from a hygiene standpoint?
I haven’t washed my car for a year. It actually doesn’t look that bad for a black car.
I have a cat litter bucket full of dog poop from last summer in the backyard. Every time I go out back I think about hauling it out to the garbage. Alas . . .
Hey, Y’all!
I have the sweetest wooden snowman. He holds a welcome sign and has been on my porch welcoming visitors since December, when I moved in.
I know it is spring…but he is so happy. (Forgot to mention he is a SLIM snowman…so Atkins worked for him, I suppose. ) I can’t bear taking him down and putting him up…maybe I will put sunglasses on him and a beach hat.
<shrug> My cat threw up (I mean, not VOMIT, just a piece of tape and some, you know, slurry) on the credenza behind the couch quite some time ago. I pretended I didn’t see it.
Cooler of Death, if that’s the one you mean.
ETA: I knew I should have read to the end before I posted my own bookmark!
Out in my carport is a cooler. In the cooler is a turkey. It went in there while the weather was still cold and there was a solid layer of ice in the cooler. Obviously that’s no longer the case. In July my husband will need that cooler for the NASCAR race. Some Monday night between now and then that turkey has to go. I think it’s really too late to cook and freeze it now.
Partly because of this thread, I decided to clean my car up a bit this weekend (I still didn’t get the rabbit bedding out of the trunk). Anyway, the windows in the back were all slobbered up; apparently my children draw pictures on the glass with their bodily fluids. The girl-child had signed her name on the back window, and when I confronted her about it, she was all, “Mom! I was like, eight!” :rolleyes:
She is now sixteen.
I wiped it off.
Oh god.
I had a pile of shirts that needed buttons sewn back on, armpit holes fixed (I have no idea why the left armpit is always the first part to fail for me. My mom insists it’s because I wear my shirts too big. Bollocks I say)
I’m proud of myself cuz I finally fixed (most of) them last night. They’ve been sitting there about a year. Or longer.
I still have one that I need to fix. The front seams are only held together by the snaps. I love that shirt, dammit.
I also have sewing projects that I bought the supplies for but I haven’t done yet. And projects for RenFaire that are at least two years old. And… sigh
