Something That Makes You Laugh or Happy
TheHub went to parochial school and I saw this one day, bought it and gave it to him. He immediately named her Sister Rita. This weekend my SIL was here, saw it and said it reminded her of Sister Rita. Then both she and TheHub started sharing Sister Rita horror stories. My only regret is that when wound she no longer spits fire!
Upside Down, Right Side Up
You tell me!
Breakfast of Champions
This is my breakfast of champions every single day. I am not fond of having food in my mouth until much later in the afternoon. Though I probably should not, I have 3 cups of black coffee each morning.
Something Older than Me
This clock is older than me, you, and anyone alive today.
My Marie Kondo (or not) Moment
I don't have a dresser, but store all my folding clothes in an armoire.
I try to keep it like this, but it requires straightening once a week. When I let it go a couple of weeks between tidying it gets pretty gnarly.
Best Doodle Art
Maybe not the best but the most recent
Sticky note art while "On hold" with AT&T to resolve an over-billing issue
So far this has been pretty enjoyable and requires nothing more than snapping a picture with my ever handy phone. This next round might be a little harder though!
That was fun. My doodles are random geometric shapes. I like yours better.
ReplyDeleteI start with a random swirl then see where it leads me. That day the beard was the swirl and I guess he decided he lived on the sticky note. I seem to find faces in nearly everything.
DeleteYou seem to be very well organized. My closets and drawers are a mess. Maybe because I drink a pot of coffee a day instead of only 3 cups!
ReplyDeleteI am not terribly organized but I like to be able to see my clean clothes at a glance so I know what my options are
DeleteFun!
ReplyDeleteThe Sister Rita cracked me up. I wonder if all parachoal school children have a Sister Rita?
Love your doodle too!
I know my childhood next door neighbors had Sister Veronica as their Sister Rita
DeleteSister Rita reminds me of Sister David, Sister Philomena, Sister Rita Mary....
ReplyDeleteTell TheHub I feel his pain.
Yes, he does not look back fondly on some of his elementary teachers, all of whom were nuns>
DeleteThat's my breakfast of champions, too! I think a lot of people have a Sister Rita in their life. Alas.
ReplyDeleteI did not have a Sister Rita, instead I had Mrs. Ray AKA Prune face
DeleteThanks Anne for joining in SPSH, you are off to a good start. I like your nun, Sister Rita, it makes me laugh too. WOW your doodle art is very good.
ReplyDeleteSister Rita must have been a terror. My SIL said she was the meanest human she has ever met.
DeleteI think we've all got a Sister Rita in our past haven't we! Love that doll though!
ReplyDeleteWhen I start to declutter I always look at her and think we could live without her, but no__we really can't.
DeleteThis is a fun take on the prompts. Like you, I don't like to eat early - and on going nausea means it is often quite late before I can face food at the moment.
ReplyDeleteI am v glad that I didn't have a Sister Rita in my life.
I had one in the 5th grade, same vitriol but without the ruler
DeleteI love the clock.
ReplyDeleteYour doodle is also very nice. 😊
The clock belonged to my folks and never worked a single day they had it. They bought it at an antique store somewhere in Pennsylvania when I was 6 or 7. After Mom died my sister got the antique school clock and I got the non working one. I brought it home, sat it on the chest and it started ticking and now keeps perfect time as long as I remember to wind it.
DeleteWhat a lovely clock! It sounds as if there are a lot of people who can relate to Sister Rita!
ReplyDeleteI think here are Sister Rita's everywhere!
DeleteYou did a great job! I love the nun, that cracks me up. She would be Sister Marie in my house lol.
ReplyDeleteEverybody has someone like that somewhere don't they!
DeleteI like Sister Rita and your doodle. The clock is lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much. Everyone that knows me knows the tales of the infamous Sister Rita, and now she has gained a wider audience!
DeleteThose are great photos for the prompts! Great doodle! I especially like the Upside Down/Right Side Up photo. I'm afraid I can't relate to Sister Rita, but, my mother and her sisters had horror stories about the Irish nuns who taught them!
ReplyDeleteI am a chronic doodler if I am on hold for phone conversation.
ReplyDeleteI think everyone who was taught by nuns has at least one Sister Rita in their life.
That nun is the best. I once covered an anniversary celebration at a Catholic school and chatted with some alums. They told hilarious stories about the nuns.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
She is a fun little lady isn't she. I think every kid who ever went to a parochial school has a nun horror story!
DeleteYou have some great choices. I love your doodle. Mind are normally just flowers or lines :0)
