I talked about secrets in the blog world the other day. I think that there are some things that should be kept quiet. But, then there are other things that I will blab about all day. I showed you how I fool my husband into thinking I cook. I tell you lots of silly things about me. I have no shame.
I have decided to share a “secret” part of myself. Yes, I have. I’m showing you my medicine cabinet! You know you want to see it.
Don’t y’all, when you go to someone’s house for the first time, look around to see what the house tells you about a person? When you borrow the bathroom, don’t y’all have to fight the urge to open the [tag]medicine cabinet[/tag] and see what’s inside?
Yes, you do! Don’t act all self-righteous on me! It may be a cliche, but we all do it, or at least think about it. We want to know if there are any “skeletons” in the closet. All my skeletons are on the mantle for Halloween right now, so since you are wondering (and I know you are), I decided to show that medicine cabinet to you. That way you won’t all come to my house and surreptitiously borrow the bathroom. I don’t have enough toilet paper.
You can look at this and see if it tells you anything at all about me.
One darn thing is sure: We don’t stink around here. So you are thinking, “Hmm? No prescription meds?” Oh, you know we don’t keep the “good stuff” out in plain sight! Because I know that friends like you will look in there while I’m not watching!
I’m not going to tag anybody, but if I went to their houses, these are some of the folks whose medicine cabinets I would definitely explore:
Jessica The Rock Chick, Jamie, Janet, Comedy Plus, Rosemarie, Yellow Rose, Jen, Thorne, Vixen, Damien and Kendra. I’d tag Marcia, but she’s moving so hers is empty.
If any of you want to show your medicine cabinets, tell me and I will link you here. You can hide the good stuff. In fact, if you decide to tag someone, tell them to link to me and I’ll link to them, too. We’ll see how many people dare to bare their medicine cabinets.
I went ahead and showed you the above, because Jessica The Rock Chick AND Rosemarie tagged me for this meme. People are showing their desktop screens. I figured that if I’m going to embarrass myself, I may as well go the Full Monty. This is as embarrassing as opening your purse and dumping it out for all the world to see or something!
OK, the desktop is messy, but the artwork is not. It is my son’s work. More can be found at Oogashaka.com, and he even has some he lets you download. This one is called Eat It And Leave. Ever been to a restaurant where the waitress talks to you like that? Evidently, Setch has.
I’m not tagging anyone (I think I’m about the last person to do this!), but if you are crazy enough to let people see what’s on your desktop, you can. You can join in the fun at the site of the originator of the meme by clicking the link below.
Always A Work in Progress is having a contest She says:
It’s my birthday! What I love to do best of all on my birthday is give away a copy of my VERY FAVORITE CD, “The Old Country Church”, by the Wright Family (y’all know~my dulcimer HEROES!) and Friends. All ya hafta do is leave me a comment…
Y’all run on over and join. You don’t have to be a blogger to win the prize. Wish her Happy Birthday while you are visiting.
You parents out there might be interested in visiting Scribbit’s Winter Bazaar. She’s compiling activities, decorations, games, recipes and crafts centered around a monthly theme. If you want ideas for keeping the rug rats busy, she might have some. After all, she lives in Alaska, and the kids are indoors for much of the winter. Maybe they could crochet a square for Share A Square? There’s a new update on that, by the way.
You only have until tomorrow, Thursday, October 4th at 11:59 p.m. Texas Time to [tag]Name That Tune.[/tag] Just give me a creative idea for what you think that scary mannequin on the post is singing, and you could win the FABULOUS PRIZE to the left. It’s a hanger thingie for your jewelry…or a Halloween Tree…or an e-bay auction item. That’s your choice. So run right over and get creative and enter the contest.

That pink lady reminds me of the “Valuable Prize” from A Christmas Story
I need one of those for Andrew’s office
Oh, this is much nicer than a leg lamp
Well, Shelly, from your medicine cabinet I can tell that you and I share a love for Lush products, and that we have a desire for neatness and order in common! In all seriousness, my cabinet looks alarmingly similar to yours. However, I have two bathrooms and two bathroom cabinets, so I have twice the contents! In all honesty, who needs that amount of calpol/deodorant/toothpaste? I could probably live quite happily for the next two years without purchasing any toiletries, but really, where’s the fun in that!
Lush! Oh YES! Bath bombs…love ‘em. I keep buying hand lotion. I don’t know why, but it’s a weakness of mine. Before I ever get to use it, it goes bad. Why do I do it? I dunno.
We use the same deodorant!
Hah, yes I always look. Always. It’s fun. So how does the Lady Speed Stick 24/7 work? This was fun.
It works about 14/3…does that make sense? I’m a sweat hog, what can I say.
Shelly, Shelly, Shelly, yes I shared my secret. LOL, now I am looking at your google ads to the right and they are for Bathroom vanities and furniture. Should we take it as a hint?
Could have been for toilet paper! At least it wasn’t for shaving your…um…well, you remember what happened when I mentioned Leave it To Beaver.
wow i like your wallpaper and was surprised that it was your son who draw it. he’s really good. thanks for doing the tag.
Thanks for starting it!
Thanks for the shout! I really like your desktop. I need to check out Setch’s stuff. Love his name!
I’m thinking of a cute boy I once liked and maybe he even liked me. I can’t remember for sure. I need to consult with my sister.
Medicine cabinet?! That would be a polite “no.”
You don’t have to show your medicine cabinet. I hid all the good stuff, anyway
My kid does draw very well. Wish I had half the talent.
AW! *THANKING YOU!* I actually don’t have medicine cabinets at all~so it doesn’t matter that I don’t have a way to take a pic of them~LOL! I DO have a basket at the top of the hall closet though, and it’s full of homeopathic and herbal medicines. Our deodorants are kept in our top dresser drawers, and toothbrushes in various bathroom places… Man we sound like FREAKS! LOL! (((((HUGS))))) sandi
No, you don’t! We can’t leave the toothbrushes out, because you never know when one of five cats will find such an item interesting enough to taste! Ick! I don’t want to brush with cat slobber
I love the wallpaper you have. It never occurred to me that using a cartoonish background would make Windows XP icons look right.
I LOVE your background, you know your son rocks! I visited him way back when you first mentioned his art, time to go again.
Uhm, no medicine cabinet in the master bath, just lots of drawers. Guest bath, little in it, most I just tossed in a cute little basket.
My desktop is just blue right now, no time to put my picture back, which I normally change every few months. And it has so many icons on it, they are now on top of each other… I get in a hurry and just save everything I write or look at to the desktop and then later put it all where it belongs, not smart because later comes infrequently, grin. Plus every site that has .pdf files, if I open them, mac automatically throws the icon on my desktop for me to delete later… only thing about mac I don’t like!
I get a lot of that, too from XP. And, it keeps prompting me saying, “You have unused icons on your desktop.” I know, I know. A blue background wouldn’t be bad. At least you can see everything.
