Sort of lame today, (particularly in comparison to Lee’s What is this doing in my house, Monday entry), but I’m tired and The Moonstone is bugging me so I went with the closest oddity to me. Yes, these are in my bedroom, leaning against the bedside table. One is about 4′ and the other 3′. There are a few more, in the 6′ range, in the garage and some in the backyard.
TW bought these a few years ago when she was working out how to build her square foot gardens. These pieces of trim, or whatever they are suppose to be, never got used in the garden and they’ve been in my way ever since.
Every morning when I put the dogs out with their food, these things fall over on me or slip just enough that I don’t notice they’ve slipped ’til I try and close the door. I just sigh, or curse under my breath, and move them.
I preferred it when they were in the garage or outside. Last week they wound up in our bathroom – in the shower, to be exact. TW was using them as RAMPS for ELVIS. Elvis is either really dumb or really smart and showed no interest in TW’s constructions. So the wood is out of the shower and in our bedroom instead.
Joy.
What weirdness is in your house and why is it there?

uh…why does Elvis needs ramps…in fact, I would think lack of mobility for a rodent would be good inside your house…knowing where it is seems important…maybe it’s just me like with the cupcake toppers
As to the weirdness in my house: Would you believe a Barbie calendar from 1997? Fun meme — I enjoyed reading yours!
Interesting thing to have in the house, goes good with my husbands garden gnomes!
Nothing weird here for me- just too much crap taking up too much room. This is my cleaning incentive. Every time I take a picture of something I get rid of it. Working well so far
OMG! I canNOT stop laughing at TW putting these in the shower for Elvis!!!
Elvis needs ramps for play time? I dunno, ask the rat lover! Lack of mobility would seem good to me, particularly when she is running free in my bathroom!
Keep laughing, swamp hag. I’m gonna tell your sons to get you a rat for Christmas!
Hag in the jag – I would love to toss some of this stuff out. But then again, I’m attached to some of the weirdness. Someday I’ll get things cleaned out.
A barbie calendar? Hmmmm I have a barbie item or three I could use for the Monday meme. Thanks for reminding me!
Em – I’ll trade your garden gnomes for Elvis and her ramps. Deal?
