I posted this originally 5 years ago. It was a fun post and I thought we could revisit it again today.
I got up on a Monday. I was feeling blue or maybe yellow, I don't know. I felt like I was going to have a metamorphosis for sure, but into what I couldn't say.
Tuesday had me searching for three or more of something, anything. Grains of rice or pretty poppies. Which to choose. Rice is pretty interesting.
I was
By Thursday I am so exhausted from all the memes I think I will Treat Myself. Apparently I was just about the only doing this so treating myself may be retired. The ladies are all so busy setting the tables they don't have the time for treats. The dishes are filling their cupboards and some are spilling into other rooms too. Forget what fork to use. I want to know what happens to people who spill their red wine across these beautiful tablescapes.
Then when Friday hits we finally have something to put on those lovely dishes. Foodies everywhere cook and bake and create. We all moan and groan with delight and some of us plan our grocery list to cook up the foodie offerings that look so darn good. Some of us just lick the screen.
Saturday is the day to make small talk. Chit chat. Lists of six. Of course us overachievers always have to add just one more. The real overachievers will write it in a pink font.
Sunday is a day of rest for bloggers. Ya right. We repost a favorite one from the past but we end up writing a whole new post to explain why we chose the old post and then we update the information that has changed since we posted the old post so that we don't have to come up with a new post on Sunday so we can have more time to ourselves to take pictures of our gardens and tables and food and collections and walls and redecorating and thrifty finds and and and...
And where does Mr. Linky fit into all of this? He teases us and laughs at us. He plays games with us. Doesn't he know what day this is? Keep your fingers crossed that he will show up.
Oh yes. Please note the Mosaic for this Monday at the top. Make sure you visit all the lovely hostesses for these memes. They always put on a great event and the other bloggers never cease to amaze me with their creativity and talents.
Have a good week.

I follow/participate in several carnivals and I've noticed that count the days in Carnival days - Today is Monday, so that means I should have a Make Do Monday project, Wednesday is Works for me Wednesday, Thursday is Thrifty Thursday and Friday is Friday Fragments and Postcard Friendship Friday!. I thought these things were just so silly...but I'm hooked :)

Oh so funny and oh so true. My hubby said I post too much on my blog that I will run out of things to post pretty soon. With all these memes going on daily, not just one meme a day but you can choose one or join several, how can we ever run out of anything to post? LOL!...Christine

Had me in stitches, honey! Is Mellow Yellow still going? I went over there, as I hadn't heard of it, yesterday, and couldn't figure it out. Yeah, I've been buying up dishes at estate and yard sales like crazy. So I can make some tablescape and then take it apart and put it all away. Like playing grownup. Like Calgon takes you away in the bathtub, playing dishes makes you forget everything else for just a little while. Then you come back down to earth and have to fix tuna salad or everyone will starve!
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Lori, that was great! I loved how you covered each meme and described them perfectly! LOL
ReplyDeleteJust stopping by briefly to say thanks for the well wishes on my blog. I'm still not up to par, but I hope you'll feel better soon, too!
