"Rainy days and Mondays always ...."

Does the title of this week's blog have you singing that Carpenters' song of yore? Well, I don't know about Mondays, but rainy days, although sometimes welcome for the relief they offer from outside obligations (as in yard chores), sometimes do "get me down" a bit. So anyway -- last Monday when it rained off and on all day, I decided that it would be a "pick me up" to go through the stacks of catalogs piling up around my house.  It turned out to be a true morale booster for sure.  

As I dug through the pile, I began to focus on little plaques as well as T-shirts with fun "sayings". Those of you who follow my blog, may remember how much fun I have with the words on T-shirts.  Anyway -- I have come up with a list of my latest favorites in T-shirt and plaque sayings. I put my personal faves in bold type. Here we go  -- in no specific order:

• Lazy People Fact # 35463098210 : You were too lazy to read that number.
• A recent study has found that women who carry a little extra weight live longer than the men who mention it.
• I thought growing old would take longer.
• No, you can't have the Wi-Fi password.  Talk to each other. Pretend it's 1995.
• You know all those things you've always wanted to do?  You should go do them.
• Always give 100% .. unless you're donating blood.
• If you are grouchy, irritable or just plain mean, there will be a $10 charge for putting up with you.
• I'd grow my own food if I could only find bacon seeds.
• Sometimes when I open my mouth, my Mother comes out.
• Politicians and Diapers need to be changed often.. for the same reason.
• oops...did I roll my eyes out loud?
• You're never too old for nap time.
• Don't grow up!  It's a trap.
• Nope, No Monsters Here. Carry on. (Wish I had had this sign when my son was little and plagued by a creepy clown looking into his second floor window at night.

Okay -- just two more -- both of which are at the very top of my list.

"Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end. (Unknown)  (Oh how I wish I could meet Unknown -- or Anonymous, for that matter. Even more -- I wish I could think of smart and lasting words that people would find important/meaningful enough to want to put on plaques or T-shirts.)

And so it goes... Please feel free to vote for your personal fave or -- to add to the list.
