I should stop writing altogether and just photograph vintage ashtrays. I can hear you thinking that would be a much better idea than me complaining each week about the long list of annoying events that exist in my personal space.
I might even agree with you. I may be turning into a kinder, gentler, more compassionate person. But God I'd be SO boring if I turned into everyone else, wouldn't I? Admit it, you come here on Fridays to see who I currently dislike and if you're on the list.
Here. Go crazy. I should have a contest to see who can guess how many items are in this ashtray but that would mean I'd actually have to go count them.
Quote of the week from my mother:
"You know what eez wrrrrong wis yourrrr back seat in zees carrrr? Eet doesn't line up with zee doorrrr."
I had no idea what she meant so without saying a word I looked over at my sister who said, "I don't know either."
Meanest quote of the week from my sister:
"Sugar tells your body to store fat."
End of chat.
If your body speaks a different language it can't understand the sugar. Learn Dutch.
ReplyDeleteCounting the containers, I say tehre are 26 things in there- so what do I win?
ReplyDeleteAnd that's why I stopped the sugar- and I was also convinced it was making me look older. I'm ok now except I wish I could stay awake- either that or I'm turning into a narcoleptic.
I have a weird feeling that Bitchy is secretly disguised as your sister.
ReplyDeleteand yes, I am counting the *@$& items in your ashtray.
24???
ReplyDelete27???
ReplyDelete19?
ReplyDeleteI say 50 because there's probably a bunch of shit on the bottom that we can't see.
ReplyDeleteSugar may tell my body to store fat, but my body tells it to shit the fuck up and let me enjoy my candy bar!
I'm not listening to your sister then!
ReplyDelete18,20 or 22! that's my answer and I'm stickin to it.....(waits anxiously for Suzy to count items) hey, i've got time...I'm at work! lol
ReplyDeleteMy body has been listening to the sugar.
ReplyDelete23. I just like the number 23. It goes with nothing and everything. Very underestimated as a number the 23.
ReplyDeleteFuck sugar. And at least your car door closes. Mine doesn't.
Damn Vodka Mom - she hogged all the guesses!!! CHEATER!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am guessing 24.
I could honestly just play a freaking guessing game every day. i love to guess how many m&m's/jelly beans/ condoms in a jar. I always win at guessing games!!
I see you had one of my kids tidy up your counter, except they stashed all the small things in that ashtray instead of under the sofa cushions.
ReplyDeleteWhere do you get all those cool vintage ashtrays?
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous.
I just found my Dad's vintage teal ashtray that's almost as big as the end table I put it on. It's just so cool. I told my partner if I find one of her butts in it she's in serious trouble. It's art!
I know there is probably a hidden compartment on the other side so I am going for 115 ;-)
ReplyDeleteAwesome ashtray!!!! I'm guessing 42. And tell your sister and her sugar opinion to suck it.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking that if you're hearing sugar talk, you've got a much bigger problem than carrying a few extra pounds.
ReplyDeletethat's also what beer sez... :O lol
ReplyDeleteIt's trooo, it's trooo. (said in my best Madeline Kahn imitation) Zee sugar and zee butter do not allow my butt to alignz wiz zee door.
ReplyDeleteYour mom is profound. Or crazy. Could go either way.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to go with 37.
What do you need a red marker for? There is a lot of things in there but it still looks organized.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure sugar can shut the fuck up.
ReplyDeleteHmpf. I missed all the fun guessing over here. WHat di Vodka Mom win?!
ReplyDeleteYou all are just lucky I am late. I would've totally nailed it.
And I really am curious what your mom meant about the car seat...
