That picture yesterday looks like the fruits of a weekend spent castrating clowns. Don't you think? Really they're juggling balls I made for the elementary school's juggling club. Balloons filled with millet. Anyway. Here's a meme that MotherReader tagged me with. I would do it on Pink Me, but then I couldn't talk about drugs and multicolored scrotums. Scrota?

I like putting the shower on the to-do list. That's speaking as someone who is more routinely skipping showers these days. Boy the extra time that buys me - love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing.

ACW, you are sending me cookies and a book - that gets you off the hook on the meme thing now and forever.
ReplyDeleteIf I ever forget and tag you again, just remind me: "Bergers. Book. Bite me."
If you like cheetos, you MUST try them with old bay. it's the new summer taste sensation... but it is a DIY project.
