Thursday 13.....#29....the letter I


In keeping with the ABC theme, I am on letter I:


  1. Inches: I am 63" tall.
  2. Ice: I love Sonic ice. When we lived in KS, you could buy it by the bag!
  3. Ideal: My ideal place to live is someplace with seasons.
  4. Igloo: I have been in an ice Igloo in Fairbanks, Alaska during Ice Alaska, the world ice art championship.
  5. Ignorance: Ignorance is bliss or you just don't know you are stupid!
  6. Imaginary: I had an imaginary friend as a child....I called her Teacher.
  7. immaculate: My house was immaculate for about 8 hours on Tuesday!
  8. IMHO: I ALWAYS read this as "I'm a HO"....and I laugh every time.
  9. Imply/infer: it drives me crazy when people don't use these words right!
  10. Indulge: I love to indulge in a plate of cheese and bread.
  11. Imbibe: I am imbibing in a little glass of wine....another indulgence.
  12. Ikea: An Ikea opened near here. I have yet to go.

  1. Iron: This iron piece (totally knocked off from Pottery Barn) was made by Federal prisoners in Kansas ! (<---my local art from KS if you read my yesterday's post!)

OMG...prisoners making PB knockoffs? Does that mean they're making the Tarjay knockoffs, too? LOL

Good list, though I don't know what Sonic Ice is or IMHO.

Mine is up: photos of paintings (speaking of art).

That infer/imply irritates me too.

I never say IMHO because my O's are never H!

Melanie said...

Great art piece! #7 was it during the day or night..:)Cheese, bread and a little wine..YUM! Great list!

I went by for my regular fix of Sonic Ice and there was no Sonic - they had leveled it! They're slowly building a new one, but I'm going cold turkey for Sonic Ice. I feel your pain!

monica- the prisoners can make pretty much anything you can find a picture of....I really wanted an iron bed. But we ended up with this...it only cost about $45! LOL Since it is considered custom, it is not a copyright infringement or something.

BNP-Sonic is a greasy spoon carhop type place....but they have the best shaved ice!

nicholas- I don't think mine is humble either.

mon-sun: thanks! It was while the kids were at preschool and during quiet time....after that, well back to the day to day stuff.

I'm loving the PB knock-off from the pen...classic! And much better than hanging a license plate on your wall.

SandyCarlson said...

I too need help with IMHO. I like your prison art. I too am imbibing a little glass of wine.

I enjoyed this post.

tommie said...

sandy it is, In my Humble Opinion.....but I like "I'm a Ho so much better!

cheers!

A-ha. So to find you at RT, all I have to do is look roughly eye level and there you'll be. You've only got three on me.

I'm a HO. Heh heh. I LOVE THAT. That should be a blog name. Once again, I'm clueless and will have to google Sonic Ice!

MamaGeek @ Works For Us said...

Ok, just read your response on what sonic ice is...

tommie said...

mamageek- I tried telling hubby why it was hilarious, and he just looked at me like I was three sheets to the wind....I have just had one glass of wine. Since I normally only have wine on the weekends, I might be....but still...I thought it was hilarious!



"I'm a HO" ....tell me you didn't laugh!

Kellan said...

I have never used the word imbibing - I don't think I have ever even heard the word until tonight where you used it and someone else (Lunanik, I think) used it - I need to start using that word - it comes across so smart.

Great list - see you soon. Kellan

tulipmom said...

I do the same thing with IMHO!!

And my house was immaculate for 3 hours today. 3 short hours. Oh well.

Don Mills Diva said...

Mmmm...cheese, bread and wine.
That is all.:)

Anonymous said...

IMHO, this is a great "I" list! :-D

Janet said...

indulging and imbibing are two things I adore :-)

Wish we had a Sonic around here!

Lala said...

I never look at IMHO like that. Thanks for pointing that out! :D

Barbara said...

Nice TT. I love your explanation of IMHO! :)

Libby said...

I'm so jealous that you had an imaginary friend growing up, it strikes me as a very magical thing. IMHO. ;)

IamDerby said...

ya gotta go to the Ikea... so much cheap stuff!

Kay Day said...

What a great idea for a list!!

Jen said...

I really like these posts. You do such a great job. "I'm a HO." That cracks me up!

Monogram Queen said...

Good I's, our Sonic here still sells the ice by the bag. I think it's neat that the piece was made by Prisoners. Gives it a certain "cache" that Pottery Barn just does not have!

Brittany said...

I love the ABC theme!! Keep up the great TT's!

Very creative list. Maybe I need to imbibe when I'm trying to come up with my TT13. lol
