Fun Monday and Mahalo
Gattina at Writer’s Cramps is hosting this week’s Fun Monday. Because of that I decided to play along. I so enjoy her witty comments and she cracks me up on almost every one she makes. So I want to play just this one week. You can see all the rules at Pensieve’s blog.
This week seems like a simple one. Direct from Gattina’s blog comes the following:
So for better or for worse here goes mine. I very rarely use an umbrella. I rather bitch about getting all wet than break out the old umbrella. Besides as you can see below, I have three and all are in the back seat of my car always. And the other big one. Well take a look.
Umbrella's in the backseat of my car. Useless....
Bent big umbrella
Better view of the big umbrella
Hootin’ Anni at Hootin’ Anni’s I can’t begin to thank you enough for helping me out. You see I asked her if she could come up with two badges for this blog for my other two blogs I have so all people have to do is click on them to visit. Well she did and below is what she came up with. Mahalo Hootin’ Anni. You are ‘da best I tell ya. MWAH!!!!
Hey, it’s only my opinion.
A Hui Hou
That Hootin’ Anni is quite good at conjuring buttons! These are great. I especially think the Scuttlebutt one is apt.
Glad you liked. Yeah she did an awesome job
Looks like we might need a 12 step umbrella addiction group meeting.
Love the badges.
I thought of your Scuttlebutt blog the other day and meant to check it to see if you are watching DWTS and All My Children.
I better go there…………….
Indeed we might LOL. Glad you like the badges and yup, I’m watching them both.
We have lots of umbrellas. And it seems like the past couple of days they really would’ve been handy–it seemed like nonstop rain!
Isn’t that the truth. The weather has been absolutely miserable
i love those badges!
and the times when i hardly ever needed an umbrella at all (there were some such years) are just a nostalgic memory. i can’t seem to go anywhere now without getting wet almost every day *sigh*
Glad you liked. Well at least you do have some memories of better weather days
Hi Thom..your umbrellas look like mine…always getting bent by the wind. Really hate using them, but they do come in handy at times. Thanks for sharing and Happy FM..
LOL. Indeed they do come in handy sometimes
Mine supposedly live in the backseat, but they’re never there when I need them. They are ALWAYS somewhere else.
Ditto my friend. So true
Now I’m triple glad I didn’t show my broken umbrella – cuz you beat me to it! LOL! I am REALLY umbrella BORING today! And… at least you HAVE an umbrella where you need it in your car! Somehow my car umbrella ended up in my trunk… a nifty place for it to be if it happens to be POURING when I get out of my car!
LOL. And for the life of me I can’t throw that stupid thing away LOL. Oh well. Yeah but mine end up in the trunk most times and are never where I need them
I’d be in trouble if I had to count and take photos of all the umbrellas in this house (and in the car). But my favorite is my very own: Van Gogh’s Irises with a traditional wooden handle. ?
You mean there is a Van Gogh umbrella? Boy I gotta stop shopping at 7-11 LOL
I mentioned at Melli’s that I would usually rather just make a dash for it than mess with an umbrella. Can’t finagle it while carrying groceries in, etc.
Wow, Hootin’ Annie is so talented! Those are great!
Indeed and that’s one reason I don’t use them either. Glad you like the badges
I have about 20 umbrellas (maybe a slight exaggeration) and use none of them.
Your new badges are the boom. good job Hootin’ Anni.
LOL…well I don’t use mine either. Glad you liked
So the passengers on your backseats will have an umbrella pattern on their bottoms ? or do you put them in your trunk then.
The beauty you photographed looks a little as if you had hit it with your bus, lol !
It’s amazing what I have learned about umbrellas today ! I am a living Wikipedia now !
Anni’s badges are great ! she is very creative for templates and badges etc.
Well either that or they get put under the seat and I don’t look there. But most times, they get put in the trunk or I tell the people suffer with umbrella marks on your butt
LOL Actually it happened while I was walking the dog. The wind came up and just tore the crap out of it. So Nalu and I finished the walk in the rain 
LOL
Our umbrellas don’t get much use, either.
LOL..I wonder how many really do?
Awwwwwwwwww, shucks. You make me blush. Glad you liked ‘em my dear. I’m always glad to help out.
As for umbrellas, I do use them. When it rains it pours here. Of course I’ve been to the islands and it rains there heavily also. But I’m a wuss….I need an umbrella just to walk to the mail box. LOL
Well thank you again my friend. I really do appreciate them and everyone has said how wonderful they are. Me and umbrella’s well not so much. As I say I rather bitch about getting wet LOL
Unless the rain is coming straight down (which I think it did once) you’re going to get wet anyway.
A big garbage bag works much better.
So true I get wet no matter what. LOL
Hi Thom,
I don’t like to use umbrellas either. Mine are in the car and in a can by the door, but pretty dusty. I will mention though that for the last week our weather has been pretty outstanding. No complaints there.
Say – I caught your link on the ‘Face of the Week’ list for this week, but when I click on it I got a ‘Not Found’ error. So just FYI. I know you usually do it on Tuesdays (and this is Monday), so thought I’d mention it.
Thanks so much for visiting me! I always appreciate it. Hope your Easter weekend was wonderful.
LOL. It’s not 10 pm HST time here is why it isn’t up yet. It should be there soon. I’m going to release it soon. I like your take on umbrella’s
Glad you weather has been good 
I cracked up at ‘big bent umbrella’.
Thom your car is so CLEAN!!
If you would have seen when it happened you would have cracked up. Yeah I just cleaned it up for the photo LOL
Thom — your car IS clean. OMG!
Hush…don’t give away all my secrets LOL
The bent umbrella’s looks like our umbrella’s in this house thanks to my kids. LOL
Love the badges too.
Glad you like and mine is just thanks to me LOL
Poor big umbrella
I am in the camp of rather getting soaked then carrying those things around too
Isn’t it fun to be like that
