Not Me Monday – My First Edition

by

I’ve decided to participate in Not Me Monday this week – hosted by MckMama. It’s my first time! I’ve seen this on some other blogs that I enjoy and think it’s alot of fun so… here goes!

I DID NOT squeal like a child when I got “Wuffy” back from the zoo on Friday. (see this post). {For those of you who were concerned, The B Man remembered Thursday night that he actually left him at the zoo while going to the bathroom. And! He remembered while we were praying that night. I’m gonna say that was probably divine intervention!}

I DID NOT drive all the way out to the zoo that same morning to get the beloved stuffed animal after the hubs called them and they said they had him!

I DID NOT help myself to a turkey melt (and fries) from Steak & Shake after my 5K race on Saturday.

I DID NOT have the most fun re-organizing my pantry this weekend with things from The Container Store {I wish I had taken a “before” picture, ’cause WOAH!, you shoulda seen it!}


I DID NOT fold 3 loads of laundry right out of the dryer and then never put them away. No, I NEVER do that!

I DID NOT agonize over the fact that I have tons of pictures that need to be organized and/or scrapbooked just sitting on my desk.

I DID NOT throw away VOGUE magazines from 10 years ago in all the purging I did from this house the other day.

I DID NOT look in my newly re-organized pantry like 1,000 times once it was done. That would be just silly! ; )

I DID NOT forget to schedule a MUCH NEEDED hair appointment and thus still have bad hair.

I DID NOT get frustrated with how long it was and call for my husband to bring the scissors and just start cutting Little G’s hair for the first time (meaing my first time to cut it myself). Nope, not me… (please tell me it looks okay)

Ok, that’s all for my first “Not Me” Monday! Hope everyone has a great day! : )

  3. great not me’s. and i’m not 100% positive but i think the cheesecake kisses may be a christmas thing because i bought said bag (and 3 of his siblings) in the 50% christmas section at walmart

  4. You did do a great job!!

    I can’t believe that I missed a whole week of your life. Crap I am a terrible blog buddy! Sorry Friend!

    I am glad to hear that the G man is totally fine, and that you have had time to run, relax, celebrate Christmas, eat at Steak and Shake and then organize! Sounds to me like you have beyond busy!

    I promise to be better and will keep up here soon. 🙂

  6. Sounds like you had a great day! I’m so proud of you and your pantry, it’s beautiful!

    His hair looks great! He’s so cute, he looks just like you!

  8. Good Monday Morning! You’re pantry is beautiful, pat yourself on the back and go look at it one more time. As far as Little G’s hair, I can’t get past his adorable cheeks and rubber band arms. M M M he is a delicious looking boy!

  9. You did his hair–wow way to go mom!

    I love the pantry–I’d just be in it all day staring at if it was mine 🙂 Gotta love The Container Store 🙂

    Fun list–you earned the post run meal!

  13. Dont you love not me monday! Its so fun!! I need a hair cut too! And the little one’s hair cut looks great! And also so glad Wuffy is back!!

  14. Oh Elaine, a turkey melt and fries sounds so stinking good right about now (or whenEVER)!

    That little guy is just 32 flavors of cute. He totally melts my heart.

    Wishing you a very happy and healthy new year!

  16. Goodness this is funny stuff!

    Totally thrilled that Wuffy is back. But probably not as thrilled as Ben.

    Totally envious of your pantry, too. I need to do that

  17. I am soooo glad you guys got Wuffy back. I still remember Ben’s sad face on New Year’s Eve. And Gavin’s hair looks great. Now you need to help me talk Claudia into cutting Christian’s hair.

  21. Great 1st list!! The haircut looks great. I never ever have trouble getting the laundry done (washed, folded AND put up). Oh, and this is the 2nd time this week someone has mentioned the Container store to me. I have to get there someday. Sounds (and looks) wonderful!!

  24. His hair looks cute!!!! Great job! And I lurve the Container Store! I so wish there was one near us. I’m one of those freakishly organized wannabe’s!

  25. Congrats on your first Not Me’s..my husband is the designated pantry organizer….maybe I should get him some containers for his birthday—it looks awesome! His hair looks great!
    ♥liz

  26. A TEN year old Vogue? My oh my, I’m not quite that bad 😉

    And I’m loving the new organizing in your pantry – looks fab – and I’m pretty sure I would “not” stare at it over and over again, too :-)!!!

    I’ve seen these Not Me Monday posts too, so maybe I’ll get my act together and do one next week. It’s totally fun!

  28. Too funny! You give my pantry hope! Yours look divine! And Steak N Shake? Oh I LOVE Steak N Shake! And Little G’s hair looks so sweet.

  29. his hair looks cute!!! With a face that sweet, how can you go wrong.

    me on the other hand… got frustrated with the long bangs and started whacking away…NOT GOOD!

    darn!

  30. I can not say I have done most of those same things on your list. Not me! 🙂 (except the running. I hate running. I pass out…literally. It isn’t pretty)

    I enjoyed your first Not Me post. You’re a natural!

    Thanks for visiting Bear Country. I look forward to getting to know you!

  31. Oh my goodness, I LOVE your pantry! I need to get me some stuff from the container store. Are they online? ‘Cause we don’t have one. Boo. 🙁

    Oh, and I have NOT been looking into my newly cleaned out dresser drawers either! I do NOT smile each and every time. :o)

  33. Oh my goodness…….I love the Container store. I could spend hours in there. All of my closets have custom Elfa shelves. Love’em!

    Great job on your first Not me. I used to do them, but stopped……I should try it again!

  34. Thanks for blogging by…it is always nice to meet new freinds! Great Not Me’s! Thanks for sharing…Your haircut looks great and I never not put laundry away either! Hope to see you again soon!

  35. Hair looks great!

    I’m with you on the scrapbooking…did you see my plan??

    And OH how I wish I HAD a pantry to organize…my next house WILL have a pantry!!

    Fun post!
