Hey Everyone!
Wow, it's finally time for My Peep Is A Flake! Yeahhhhhhhh.
So, here's my first Peep Flake post. Of course, Mom's up first 'cause she's way flakier than Dad.
My Mom's a flake because she has no memory. That's right, sports fans! No memory at all. Never has. She can't even blame this on getting old...she's never had a memory. What's flakey about that you ask...well, she WAY OVERCOMPENSATES! She obsessively keeps notes...everywhere...
all the time! BOL
This is the drawer under Mr Dell. Note there are 2 paperpads and 1 calendar.
This is the phone shelf above the car keys. Check out the notepad. This is no more than 3 feet away from Mr Dell's drawer.
This is the drawer in Mom's endtable. Check out the overabundance of notepads.
She has millions of them. They are a favorite gift for her because everyone knows she needs them.
She also obsessively picks them up everywhere she goes. (Klepto?)
Now, this is the back of Mom's beloved car. Note the Road Dogs bumperstickers!
Boy, I think Mom's beloved Ru needs a bath...really badly! BWAR HAR HAR.
The reason I'm showing the Ru is because:
The reason I'm showing the Ru is because:
Yup, you guessed it! Look above the visor. Check out the notepad and pen. She knows full well that if she has an important thought (ahem) going down the road, she'll never remember it when she gets home! BOL
So there you go. Talk about going OVERBOARD! There is major compensation happening here.
She always says..."If you tell me something and you don't see me write it down...better tell me again!"
BTW: You probably can't tell, but in the pix of the notepad on the phone shelf, the page is torn in half. Now, here's more Flake Proof...Mom's obsessive in her note taking, but she's also a true Tree Hugger. So if she makes a small note, she does it at the bottom of the sheet, then tears it off and uses the top half next time. WEIRD WEIRD WEIRD! She's got a gazillion of these, yet insists on using half-torn-off sheets all the time. Oh, boy.
BWAR HAR HAR. Tune in next Peep Flake post for the dirt on Dad!

Oh poor Momma! We understand!
ReplyDeleteWe posted about our peeps being flakes too!
OMD- we think your Mom and our MOm are twins! It must be the blonde moment thing going on with them! When WHN was in the ARmy, she always carried two steno pads to write stuff down. SOOOOO, she would always forget to check them. THEN she started writing notes on her hand, all the way up her arm to the elbow! The other officers would tease her, but at least she remembered to do the stuff written on her arm!
ReplyDeleteOh Sarge your Mom is adorable with all her notepads :) My Mom writes things down all the time too. Have you heard of the Einstein Theory? No not the mathematical one, the memory one.
ReplyDeleteOne day Einstein was talking with a stranger on the street. They were having a grand time chit chatting about important stuff. When it was time to part, the other fellow asked Einstein for his telephone number. Einstein said he didn't know what it was. The other fellow said" How in the world can a super mathematical genius such as yourself not know his own telephone number?!". Einstein replied, I have it written down. Why should I clutter my mind with such things when I can just write them down and forget about them?
Now I know why peeps say this guy was such a genius :)
Sarge you have a genius for a Mom! :D
Happy New Year to you! :D
Waggin at ya,
Roo
BOL! How...flakey!
ReplyDeleteLicks,
Ruthie

OH What a grrrrreat way to start the New Year... Tellin it like it IS about our PEEPS!!
He, he, my mom ALWAYS writes stuff on her hands, too. She uses her hand because it is the only thing she doesn't lose - post it notes always disappear!
ReplyDeleteYour pal, Pip
haha We actually think that's pretty SMART of your Mom! Wish our Mom was a little MORE, um, ORGANIZED! She writes stuff down but then FORGETS it ANYWAY!!!
ReplyDeleteThis FLAKY thing is gonna be so much FUN!!!
The Road Dogs
Oh poor Mom! Happy New Year!

BOL....Butt..Sarge....you wouldn't want for hers to forgets impawtant stuffs like you birfday and odder stuffs like dat would you. So...be hap-pee her does keep notes! (Wish My Mom kept better notes)...{sigh}
ReplyDeletehello sarge its dennis the vizsla dog hay ar yoo shoor yore mama has no memree??? perhaps she is just a big fan of the faymus dokyoomentary memento!!! ha ha happy noo yeer!!! ok bye
ReplyDeleteThat looks like an amazingly organised system there. And such tidy drawers!!
ReplyDeleteMy LOTH is jealous.
Love and licks, Winnie
That is not that flaky, well maybe the notepads so close together, or is that just obsessive???
ReplyDeleteDoes she have one of those cool pens that writes in water and upside down so she can take notes when you are supervising her bath?
Maybe you should make a note to get one.
Or one with a flashlight thingee on the end for middle of the night notes!
Did she see that the New Years confetti was made up of notes from people making wishes in Times Square?
Looking forward to hearing more about your peeps.
It is really funny to us as we read the different Flake posts how much all our peeps are alike. Our Mom is a list-aholic, lots of notepads, lots of lists. And of course when she NEEDS the list, you guessed it, she can't find it.
ReplyDeleteWe are working on our Flake post, but it won't be ready today. They are off to a birthday party for the twins - they will be FIVE tomorrow.
Wishes to you for 2012 to be happy, healthy, peaceful, and love-filled.
Woos - Phantom, Thunder, Ciara, and Lightning
And we thought SHE was forgetful! Your mum has HER beat by miles. SHE just has a calendar that everything goes on, because SHE loses the notes SHE makes!!!!
ReplyDeleteGood one, Sarge. (Have you ever chewed up one of her notes or note pads?)
XXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
BOL! MOM is the same way EXCEPT, she does not write things down, she just forgets and forgets and forgets. I've watched her walk into the office for something then not remember what it is she needs. Not once, not twice, not three times but four times in a matter of less than an hour. She really should invest in those note things.

Hey Sarge. I just posted about our flake, the Mommy. She's been a flake all of her life.
ReplyDelete{{{huggies}}}....Mona
Sarge, our mom is constantly writing notes too. Mostly on her hand, but every week when she cleans out her purse, there is a pile of notes. Our mom must be flaky too.
ReplyDeleteLove Ruby & Penny
Hi Sarge, mum can't understand why your mum is flaky. It all seems so normal to her. She probably doesn't realise she is a flake too hehehe. Wait till we show you what our mum does. We don't know anyone else who does it so we will post soon. No worries, and love, Stella and Rory
ReplyDeletelol, you mom is just like my mom, but she then puts the note down and can't find it, her pockets are full of bits of notes!! and shopping lists don't get me on that one.
ReplyDeleteAnyways Happy new Year to you and flaky mom ;) we wouldn't have them any other way:)
Hope this year brings all that you wish for
Love and Hugs from across the pond George and Tess xxx
