Life Is Grand
Oh my...Life is Grand...isn't it? It's Monday morning and I'm trying to "knock out" as much of my "To Do" list as possible. I really slacked off last week with having honey, Darrin, and Danielle home on vacation! Which brings me to the subject of my blog today.
My sister, Rhonda, has a birthday coming up this month. It's not just any ol' birthday...she's turning the BIG 50!!! (Hehe...sorry Sis...just had to get your age out to the public somehow!) I found the perfect gift for her! A couple of weeks ago, we made a trip up to the mountains to the cutest little town ever...Estes Park! While meandering the quaint little streets...looking into the windows of all the specialty shoppes...there it was!!! It was the prettiest little statue of an Indian painted pony...and Sister collects these! I just had to buy it and surprise her with it for her birthday! So getting this gift ready to send to Sister in Texas was at the top of my "To Do" list today. Since the gift is a bit fragile...honey brought me in a huge box of styrofoam peanuts so that I could pack the gift properly!
Now this is where getting back into the same ol'...same ol'...daily grind comes in. Since honey is back to work and the kiddos are gone...it's very quiet at the house. I often have to look for things to entertain myself...hehe!!! So as I sat here looking at that big box of styrofoam peanuts....the thought occurred to me that the world may some time soon become "over run" by these silly little annoying things! We had better start putting them to use (I thought)...that's when I came up with my "TOP TEN COUNTDOWN" ..."What You Can Do With Styrofoam Peanuts"!!!
*****TOP TEN COUNTDOWN*****
"What You Can Do With Styrofoam Peanuts"
#10 - Throw them in the air & pretend it's snowing....of course, this would only be a thrill if you live somewhere that it never snows...my Sis lives in South Texas so she was on my mind!
#9 - Need an extra pillow for guests?....Just fill up a pillowcase!
*
#8 - Stuff em in your honey's boots....Then just sit back....smile....& watch him try to put them on!
#7 - Pad your bra!....It works for me!
#6 - Be kind to our planet..."RECYCLE"....Pass them on to your Mama....she'll keep them...she keeps everything!
#5 - Stuff your mailbox just full of them and include a little note "Happy...happy...joy...joy" for your dear postman....Don't get mad over those annoying little static things....just get even with the postman for bringing them to you!
#4 - Do a craft project and save your macaroni!....use peanuts instead for your next "just arrange & glue craft picture! Hehe...remember those...little macaroni pictures? Bring back a "lost art"!
#3 - Pass them on to your best friend for his/her birthday!....I mean...what are good friends for anyway!
#2 - Spray paint them brown!....Then at your next party...serve them for real peanuts! After a few cocktails, your guests won't know the difference anyway!
And....drum roll please...saving the best for last....
#1 - Just grab a hand full and start rubbing them all over your head...that's right...keep rubbing...rubbing, there you go! Ahhhhh...the amazing law of "static electricity"! Voila!!! Your brand new "Static Peanuts Hair-do"!!! Just think, you'll be famous in no time...why this is how all the popular fads get started!!! Hehehe!!!
And why are you looking so "dumb-founded" after reading my "TOP TEN 
COUNTDOWN" for what you can do with styrofoam peanuts??? It's pure genius!!! I told you I had to come up with ways to entertain myself, didn't I? Hehe!!! I think my Sis will get a hoot out of my list when she opens up her box and finds it laying...ever so sweetly...on top of all those peanuts!!!
HeHeHeHeHe...!!!
Love ya'll,

How does it look under Tee shirts if you stuff you bra with those...? (I can hear the whispering at the supermarket now....)
ReplyDeleteI see a VOILA in there!!!! You GO girl!!
ReplyDeleteChari, you are such a crack up. You just kill me with your sense of humor. I love the way you entertain yourself. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteChari, lovin' the top ten! I will have hubs read it when he gets home tomorrow. LOL
ReplyDeleteAs for the bra stuffing, I am more afraid at the possibility of chafing after an hour of those things maintaining their shape. Or I may be mistaken for a Madonna "vogue" retro girl if two or three end up getting stacked "front and center" together. LOL
Hope you to Texas alright... We're having a pretty good amount of warm days but not too hot thank goodness!
First of all, your little cloche filled with buttons is adorable! I'd love to do that in my craft room/office. I hope you are enjoying you trip to TX, but I bet you won't miss the mugginess. ;) So, did you send your sister a gift, too, or just the peanuts and your list. If so, she must have gotten a good laugh out of that. Take care!
ReplyDeleteYou are a crazy girl!!! This is just too cute!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are having a great time with your family. I can't wait to here all about it!!!
Have a wonderful weekend!!!
XOXO
Cathy
You are so funny. Thanks for the laugh!

LOL Chari, girl...you are hilarious! That's quite a list...wonder how many I can attempt before the little men show up to take me away in one of those strapping little white jackets! You will come see me, won't you...when I'm tucked away in my padded cell?
ReplyDelete:-)
gf, You are crazy...lol but this comes from a woman that just chased a frog up the driveway...I did not want it to get ran over. Put it in my pond.
ReplyDeleteOh my you have missed your calling my friend...you are so funny!! Hope you are well, Chrissy
ReplyDeleteChari, I remember this post well. I laughed out loud the first time and I'm laughing out loud this time too! You are so clever! Hope you are having a wonderful trip! laurie
ReplyDeleteToo funny!!! You definitely had too much time on your hands for this post. Very creative. Now go fill your cloche with some peanuts.
