5 Things

I was tagged by my friend, Susan at Soozphotoz. If you have not visited her site, I urge you to go there immediately. She is an amazing writer and photographer; you will be inspired and impressed!

5 items in my fridge:
leftover penne pasta from Macaroni Grill
Morningstar Farms sausage patties (staple of my existence)
asiago cheese
unsalted butter
Helluva Good french onion dip

5 items in my closet:
a laundry basket full of purses (just like Susan!)
a jacket that belonged to my grandfather
a scarlet button-down shirt that knots at the waist (which I cannot wear because I have no ab defintion, yet I cling to it, pull it out and admire it every so often)
a pink, polka-dot camisole (my favorite item)
my wedding dress (I eloped at the townhall in Martinsburg, WV, so I did not have the requisite white flowing gown; instead, I wore an ugly dress that resembles a tapestry. It is God-awful but I cannot bring myself to throw it away)

5 items in my car: (unlike my house, my car is generally meticulous)
"Maisy Goes Camping" library book
several Flair Felt-Tip pens in assorted colors
two luxury child car seats, complete with pillowed head-rests and cup holders
umbrella stroller (lodged in trunk)
home-made birthday CD (Rhianna SOS song, Black-Eyed Peas Hump song, Gorillaz Dare song, Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty Dragging Heart Around song, etc.)

5 items in my purse (not meticulous)
approximately 227 receipts
Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar (lovin' this book)
several Flair Felt-Tip pens in assorted colors
Fendi wallet that I purchased in my pre-kid days
coupons

and now YOU'RE it:
I can't remember who has done this one already. Please join in if you are so inclined! I'm thinking Deb, Kiki, Holli, Andrea, Painted Pear, Liz, etc.

What a terrific list! I found myself saying over and over.."Oh! I LOVE Macaroni Grill" "Oh! I LOVE asiago cheese...Black Eyed Peas (the group, and the legume too actually), etc."

Eloped! How romatic no matter how much you don't like the dress now :-) (maybe you should make it into a purse!)

[blush]and Thank you for the kind comments.

Susan,
YES! Awesome idea! It would definitely make a good purse, and it would be used often and loved (which is more than I can say for it now!)!

And thanks for tagging me! This was great fun! xo

P.S. I've never had Black-eyed peas, but now, I want to try them!

Ok, we are the complete opposite as far as this list is concerned, lol! My car is a MESS, always is unlike my house.
See even in your meme lists you still share so many cool things about you and you write it with flair!

I once counted all the cup holders in my car between the car itself and the carseats there were at least 10

I loved reading your list. I related to a lot of it, except my car AND my house are messy! LOL!

I like the idea of making the wedding dress into a purse too. And if there's enough fabric, how about a journal cover or photo album cover? I think making it into anything that you'd use and see frequently would be very cool.

Believe it or not, as much as I loev lists and memes, this is one I haven't done yet, so I'll take you up on the tag and post my answers sometime this weekend.

These lists help give such a picture of each person. Fab!

I like your music. ;)
Mmmmmm... Macaroni Grill. I love the Chicken Ceasar Calzone.

I so could crawl into a luxury car seat right now and take a nap.

Lord, I'm already embarrassed for what would end up on my list!! Unlike you, I do not keep my car.. meticulous. :)

But I will try! (to do the list.)

Excellent post!

Interesting items in your fridge... i don't have a single one of those in mine. can we come to your house and eat?
maybe turn the dress into a crazy quilt or a pillow of some kind. (trying to picture this in my head)
