who blogs at Lilahbility suggested this week’s topic “10 Things that are
Completely Impractical.” I was very a little confused because I would
never, EVER buy anything that was impractical!
Not
one to give up I decided to scour the house to see if there was anything,
anything at all that could possibly meet the criteria. Sadly…it turns out that everything
in our house is useful/necessary.
For
example…
1.
8
Golf Bags.
Apparently we have 9. I missed one. R and I do not own our own bag; J2 has one; we are storing J1’s which leaves ummmmm 7 for G. I am told golf bags are like underwear…you need a different one for each day of the week.

8
Guitars.
According to J2 all were necessary. Who knew you could play more than one guitar at a time?!?

3.
Picture
frames.
I am prepared for just about any size and shape with the exception of the photos that I want framed. The coloured ones? There are 2 more in the closet. I bought them when the boys were in preschool. Yes they are still in the wrapper. I am still trying to decide on my favourite pics to put in them.

4.
Baseball
hats.
Riley and G are the only ones who always wear baseball hats. I will own up to the pink one and about 3 others in that pile. I could not be bothered to count. There were still more on the top shelf of the closet. For once I am happy I am short.

Seasonal
dishes.
I bought these beauties after Christmas one year for 50% off. It was during my Martha Stewart wannabe stage. Even though they only hold 1 cracker at a time they look amazing in the drawer of the china cabinet.

6.
Candles.
I like options. I have tealights that burn for 2 hours or 4 hours; votives; tapers; heck…I even have battery operated candles. I am earthquake prepared.

As
our hostess Stasha wrote “I struggled to find
one in 6 days” which made me feel a whole lot better. Wait. Maybe not. Since I am struggling I will stop at 6 as in 6 things in 1 day. It is summer
after all.
Be
sure to check out what Stasha’s husband came up with for her list. It is
awesome and almost made me go back and start over…almost.
Have
a great week!
Hahaha, those picture frames made me laugh so hard! I can totally relate to that. When I moved house last year I must have given away thirty of them :)
ReplyDeleteThose were only the ones that were at arm's length. *sigh* I have such good intentions. ;P
DeleteThis is a grat list list. I can totally relate....my hubby has a weird desire to keep pens, hats, and mugs. I want to scream.
ReplyDeleteI didn't dare show the display of wait for it...golf balls that my husband has. I guess I should be grateful he agreed to put them up downstairs. ;P
DeleteThe accompanying pictures were an awesome idea. Thanks for sharing some seriously good laughs.
ReplyDeleteThank you Wayne. My work is done for the day so I am off to have a nap. :)
DeleteHahahaha!!! The frames are hilarious, as I have so many of my own. I don't think any are still in the wrapper, though. :)
ReplyDeleteGotta say, the golf bags made me laugh the hardest.
I obviously need to pay more attention when he comes home from golf. ;P
DeleteI truly believe we are related lol
ReplyDelete*high five*
DeleteI don't doubt you could find something Christmasy to put in those tree dishes on Pinterest for DIY holiday gifts? Who has to know that they were actually hoarded?
ReplyDeleteBaaaahaaahaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
DeleteI have a billion gajillion frames in their original wrapping too! I thought I was the only one. I was always needing one and had to go out to buy it, so I bought a bunch and now when I need one...I got out to buy it.
ReplyDeletePhew...I only have a billion gazillion. ;)
DeleteYou are NOT alone...sadly, I go out and buy new ones too. Oish.
LOL - now that's a lotta picture frames. I must admit I do buy the tea lights like that. I use them though ;-)
ReplyDeleteThose frames were only the ones that I could grab easily. Yikes!
DeleteI go through a lot of tea lights too. They don't seem to last as long as before. :(
LMAO!!! the golf bags!!
ReplyDeleteSure. You can laugh. They're not under YOUR stairs. ;P
DeleteOMgoodness.....what a great list. I was cracking up at "my Martha Stewart wannabe stage." I love all the pictures you have accompanying your list. I cannot imagine having 8 golf bags in my garage (or another place). That is a lot!
ReplyDeleteHappy Listicles Monday!
Trust me...I couldn't imagine either. Until I saw them all the other day. Oish.
Deletesuch a perfect list! Are those colored frames from Ikea?
ReplyDeleteWhy yes...yes they are Robbie! Good eyes!! Do you need some??? :)
DeleteI see absolutely nothing wrong with having all those candles!! in fact, I fear you may not have enough. You shall be my partner if the zombie apocalypse hits!
ReplyDeletealso, because you have all those golf clubs which I am sure will come in handy too.
Just make sure you bring the sour patch kids and cheesy summer tunes partner. :)
Delete#5 totally made me giggle! I used to have some of those, but after the kids broke a few and we had too many kids to even pretend to have a use for them, I donated them. The golf bags are pretty good too!
ReplyDeleteYou would have reason to have 9 golf bags! Us...not so much. :)
