Not Me, Monday!


MckMama's got all the rules for "Not Me!" Monday posted so if you haven't participated before, click on over and find out the scoop on all that is "Not Me!" Monday!

Our tv has NOT been on it's last leg for awhile now. This week, though, the picture has NOT been getting darker and darker to the point the guide has become almost unreadable. Kyle did NOT get a larger, MUCH HEAVIER tv from some job he did. It has NOT been sitting in our garage for a few weeks. I did NOT decide that it was time to try to get the tv in the house this weekend so Kyle and I did not huff it up the stairs with the help of a hand cart thingy and then Kyle did NOT have to PICK IT UP to get it up the inside stairs because I'm too weak to help lift it. Did I mention this thing weighs about 400 pounds? Uh, yeah. My hubby is NOT Mr. Muscles! Haha! Now, we do NOT have perfectly colored images on our new-to-us tv. That does NOT make me very happy.

My sister and I were NOT texting back and forth on Saturday morning and she did NOT manage to talk me into watching Kingston for the afternoon while she took Evan to her best friends baby shower. Because I didn't want to be stuck at home, I did NOT tell her that I would as long as she left his carseat. Man Oh Man! Carseat makers are not messing around with those things these days! It was NOT nearly impossible to get that thing out of her car. After I called my neighbor over to help get it out, we did NOT discover that we could reach the back hook from the "trunk" {it's all open back there} of the car. My neighbor still had trouble getting it out, though. That sucker didn't want to come out at all!

Kingston and I did NOT have so much fun hanging out together. I did NOT take him to my inlaws where he ran around in circles, played with their dog, played with a little $1 handheld fan and flirted with my MIL. After our stop there, we did NOT go to Marshall's. In order to keep his little hands off of everything, I did NOT get a box of animal crackers and open them up for him to eat, in the store. At the check out, the lady looked from me to the box and back to me. I did NOT have to tell her that he was eating the crackers {because apparently it was not obvious?}. I still needed to go to Target so I decided to go on my way home, to the one near my house. On the way there, Kingston did NOT fall asleep! And then he did NOT wake up right away when I took him out of his carseat. Silly boy! Again, to keep his little hands off of things, I did NOT get him a stuffed monster out of the $1 section. Bribery? Is that what you call it? Huh.

When we got home, there was NOT a bouquet of pink roses laying on the table. Kyle did NOT get them for me "Just Because". I do NOT think that those are the best. They did NOT make me smile.

I also was NOT talked into going to see Zombieland this weekend. Although there was a lot more blood and guts than I prefer to see in a movie, it was NOT pretty funny and a lot better than I was anticipating it to be.

I did NOT celebrate my blogs 1 year anniversary yesterday. Did you enter my Favorite Things giveaway? You should NOT do that right away!!

What have you NOT done this week?

I so do the same thing with my kids. Bribery works and it keeps em quite.

That was very sweet of your hubby. Mine has never done that in all the years knowing him

Mighty M said...

Glad you enjoyed the movie! And roses - so SWEET! ;-)

Stacy (the Random Cool Chick) said...

Bribery is NOT the best method and I do NOT use it with Princess Nagger ALL the time! ;)

Glad you had a fun weekend - hope the 'new to you' TV can be adjusted to your liking. ;) And roses 'just because'? *sigh* How romantic! :)

I must say that this post was absolutely the best NMM post I have ever read. Didn't even have to look at the button to know what I was reading. :)

Also, I wanted to know that I spent untold amounts of time this weekend ensuring that my e-mail function is now enabled. All for you, Megan, all for you!

Sometimes bribery is a necessity in order to keep your sanity!

What a sweet gesture of roses from Kyle!

I can't believe how heavy those television sets are! No wonder you struggled!
