Play along! List 5 random things....

[NanceXToo]

That you can see right now, from where you are sitting.

 

Here are mine:

 

1. A small "Smurf" figurine collection. I had a BIG Smurf collection when I was a kid until my brothers decided to sell them at my mother's yard sale when I wasn't home one day. I was heartbroken. After hearing this story, my husband decided to buy me some Smurfs online. :D

 

2. A "covered wagon" that my husband and my daughter made last year out of a shoebox, strips of cardboard, and an old teeshirt for a social studies project. It lives on top of one of my bookcases.

 

3. An empty cereal bowl with a spoon in it sitting on my computer desk. 'Cause I just ate a bowl of Apple Jacks for dessert. :D

 

4. A blue "sticky lizard" toy. That's on my desk. For some reason. Why do people think they should just put random things down on my desk, anyway?!

 

5. A large, saltwater fish and coral reef aquarium tank that is my husband's pride and joy. He really needs to clean the algae off the glass, by the way. It's looking kinda icky right now.
