Out here, the patio is sort of blah today.
It rained half of yesterday and most of the night.
The ground is wet and the sky still gray.
I looked around and spied the man's lunch box.
(pictured above)
I use a brown paper sack.
He carries a freaking picnic box!
I have always been fascinated by this "lunch box".
Yesterday we went lunch box shopping...
for stuff to put in it, not a new one.
Though he did use a different one that looks pretty much the same only blue.
The one he left with this morning contained:
1 bologna sandwich
Reese's Pieces
jalapeno potato chips
teryaki stick bites
home made brownies
Little Debbie strawberry cream cake roll
Twix bar
trail mix
rootbeer in a frozen sleeve
five one dollar bills
twelve quarters
napkins
a variety of condiment packets
breath mints
chewing gum
Advil
bandages
triple antibiotic ointment
one blue ink pen, one black ink pen
three pencils
a miniature barrel of monkeys
note pad
one blue ink pen, one black ink pen
three pencils
a miniature barrel of monkeys
note pad
and an extra measuring tape... just in case.
I'm sure I've left something out!
He carries his own mini-mart.
Sheesh!
My first day in a long time home alone.
I had a brief Tom Cruise moment and considered cranking up the stereo to dance around in my unders...
but that seemed like a lot of effort since I'd have to strip back down just to look the part.
I have two assignments today:
1) call the DMV to see how much my tags will cost
2) call the hall of records to see if our certified marriage certificate is in yet...
so I can once again re-change all my ID, SS#,car title, etc.
Of course I'll be reading blogs and looking for work on line.
Yep... a blah day!
But that's Monday for you.
What are you up to today?
Or tell us what weird things do you put in your box.

A barrel of monkeys? Like, the game? Or a real... barrel of... monkeys? That box must be bigger than it looks. Anyway, he sounds like he's well-stocked for about a two week trip.
ReplyDeleteYep! A tiny version of the barrel of monkeys game.
ReplyDeleteHe's sort of a grazer... not much of an actual eater. Sugar junky.
haha! I can appreciate how prepared he likes to be :-) I do have my bag lady bag that I carry back and forth to work with me. It has little odds and ends that I don't need in my regular purse, but might need...sometime? Also, whatever I'm reading and that day's lunch. Plus, I keep snacks and things in the cupboards at my desk. So, I guess, yeah...I understand his box :-)
ReplyDeleteHope your Monday turns out well!
PS - That up there is me, laura b. Which you probably knew...but Blogger is being WEIRD! Surprising, I know.
ReplyDeleteonlyoneihave-Ha! Yes I knew that was you!
ReplyDeleteIt does not surprise me to hear that you carry a book in there either. (I even keep a car book... just in case.)
The sun came out and its looking fine now. Hope your Monday is great too.
big grins!
I guess it's his version of a big purse?
ReplyDeletesecret agent woman- Ha! I think you're right. :D
