I'm still so sore from the back-breaking job of fighting flood water yesterday that I can't quite find what it takes to post about it yet.
I haven't done much of anything today except to file away some magazine clippings I had piled up downstairs.
They were good for another laugh, though, so I thought maybe I'd share them with you.
This is what my workdesk looked like briefly this morning:
Some of the clippings are just to keep my outgoing mail envelopes from being boring.
Who wouldn't want an envelope with twenty or so ice cream drumsticks on it?
I already told you about these...
I glue them on right next to the addressee's name (or my own), so it looks like a statement of fact.
"Naomi is crazy."
"The world needs Helen Weels."
I don't think I've told you about my collection of "I" statements, though.
They are the most fun of all.
I use these to make note cards.
I just line up a bunch of "I" statements, glue them to the front of the card, and add a catchy title.
Maybe something like this:
Then I add a (more or less) corresponding line to the inside of the card.
Maybe like this:
Sometimes I just glue the list of statements on the card front without adding a title.
Then I write something like this inside: "Enough about me. Let's talk about you."
The more random the statements are, the more fun I have making the card.
"I made a new steering arm."
"I chose salmon and talked to my doctor."
"I bought a credenza that smells of stale tobacco."
It's like making up a whole life for myself.
Without having to actually smell the stale tobacco.
