Going Out On A LImb . . .

 

#1 Gotta be able to laugh at ones self . . . it isn't always perfect . . . I cleaned the pull out freezer today, the one at the bottom of the refrigerator.  It wasn't my plan for the day . . . 
I reached in to get a package of frozen blueberries and a package of Starbucks coffee managed to open, spill, sprinkle and make one heck of a mess of the freezer . . .
Things aren't always perfect . . . freezer is real clean right now!



#2 I have these red velcro roller things that I roll up in my hair after I wash it. It gives my extra straight hair a little bend.  Velcro tends to stick to everything . . . sometimes one of the rollers rolls down my back and sticks on my sweater.  There I am, out in public and someone is holding up a red roller they have removed from my back. What's a girl to do other than be able to laugh at self . . .

 


#3 One time I forgot I had a roller in my hair and went to my grandsons track meet with a roller in my hair.  My grandson pulled me over and said . . ., "gramma, you've got a roller in your hair . . ." The bad thing is, I walked into the meet with a very nice man with a roller in my hair and he never said a thing.  The really bad thing is, I saw him at the next meet and he said "Hi, I remember you . . .!"   The really good thing is, . . . Jordon still loves me . . .





#4 I took off on errands today and before I left I sent a message to my daughter to reassure her that there were no rollers hanging on to me . . .



 

#5 Going out on a limb here . . . I think we are turning a corner on this weather thing.  
This morning it was twenty degrees when I woke up.  That is darn right balmy for around here as of late!   I saw my first Purple Finch at this feeder earlier in the week.  I haven't seen him since.  I tried for a picture but no luck.
(I jinxed it . . . update Thursday at four and it is snowing!  Yikes!)

It is good to be able to laugh at ourselves. Purple is the color of my sometimes forgotten roller(s).

Best,
Bonnie

I think it is good to be able to laugh at ourselves.. I think you still have us beat with the amount of snow you have there. But, I think we tried catching up just on this day. Happy Valentine's Day to you and yours!

Musings from Kim K. said...

Definitely good to find humor in ourselves. I hope you're doing something fun for Valentines. Since surgery, I've been spoiled with meals from coworkers. Tomorrow's meal is even covered! Hugs!

Vicki @ lifeinmyemptynest said...

Funny story :-)
I'm so glad this latest storm is missing us!

Jojo said...

Ha ha! At least they were red curlers - perfect for Valentine's Day!!!

Don't you hate those spills!!! I'm always happy afterwards because it forces me to do the deep cleaning. Deep cleaning is rarely on my list. I just don't have the time!

Can't believe the snow!!!

simply bev said...

What a lot of snow you have! It's been snowing here since yesterday afternoon. We have about a foot of the white stuff, which is very unusual in this area!

Nancy's Notes said...

Oh Lynn, I'm still chuckling about your rollers, that is hilarious! Great and fun post. Happy Valentine's Day!

Pondside said...

You are too funny, Lynn! I can just picture your mortification when you saw that young man again!

Margaret Birding For Pleasure said...

HI Lynne Well that post did make me laugh. Red rollers!!! Well who could miss those sticking to you!!! Hope you enjoy the 'whale' video.

Jacqueline @ HOME said...

Haha ….. you made me laugh about your rollers . Nearly as bad as having your skirt tucked in your knickers !!!!
I think that the weather seems to be extreme all over the world. I just hope that it settles down soon.
Have a lovely weekend Lynne and stay warm. I hope that the snow stays away.. XXXX

Lol on the red rollers! Too funny.
And the snow shots are downright amazing -- I do hope you get some warmer temps soon.
Enjoy your V Day with your sweetheart. xo

Sarah Huizenga said...

At Home in English Valley said...

That man remembered you because you radiate warmth, and goodness, and then maybe the roller;-). Love to you on Valentine's Day my friend. Penny

Cheryl @ TFD said...

Wow, looks like you're making some birds extra happy with that full feeder! And me too after I read about the curler story, HAH!!

Lisa Sall - Sall's Country Life said...

I almost forgot - Happy Valentines Day, Lynne!

RURAL said...

I think the weather is starting to turn in many places, and not a moment too soon.

Lovely birds.

OMG! I bought those same red rollers! Then I realized..that they are a real hazard to women with long, long hair and ended up having to cut one out. I have had them for a couple of years now and they are way back under the bathroom sink. I really ought to throw them away..Goodwill? Nahhh..maybe not.
Never walked out with them in my hair because I was cured of them early in the game. VERY early!

I cannot believe more snow is going to be dumped this weekend..if not already.
I'm sorry.. Happy Valentines Day to you too!

Rose said...

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit here...the roller thing reminded me of a sock thing my daughter and I went through. If I can remember will share on next random 5....

Ida said...

Great Random 5.
How funny about the roller in your hair. I enjoyed the story about it and the happy outcome.
Cool looking shot of the birds at the feeder.
Sorry you got more snow.
