YEP! I’m playing with Mary over at Hope Echoes this week! Jump on the ol’ chuckwagon and play along!
Here’s my very first deliberate attempt at being boring!–I have already had many successes without any effort at all-this should be a cake-walk!
HUMPH!! My PC refuses to recognize that I have put the card from the camera in… I’ll have to improvise and save the boring pics for next week! oooo the pressure….words only….here we go! I also hit publish instead of draft and can’t seem to switch it to a later publish time so I guess I will get a jump on all the other people being boring tomarrow by posting Fri night! That’s me-boring AND early!
SO–I would like to quote an esteemed member of my household for this post-one we all look to many times a day for giudance-we make decisions and change even the speed at which we do things based on what he says!
Tick, tock. Tick, tock. Tick, tock. Tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic TOCK!

I thought you were doing fair food! This is way more boring. I posted early, so you could even link to me. LOL

Yawn….
Stretch…
I read this on my blog reader and it was so boring I could barely make myself click over here to leave a comment. Good job, friend! I’m proud of ya!

I am impressed with all the typing of the tic tocks! I realize you had a little help with the cut and paste, but really that is noteworthy. Oh yeah, and BORING. (I have to admit, you & ABM always make me chuckle. So even your boring is funny to me.)

I’m afraid I just skimmed over all the tick tocks. Hoping that I got the gist of it and didn’t miss anything important…

Nadja
P.S.: Are there any Cliff’s Notes available for that post? We won’t be quizzed for content later, will we?
June 27, 2009 at 12:30 pm
Mary
I have realized that from the comments here, you were not as boring as I originally intended. Perhaps you are, in fact, funny. At least two have chuckled. This puts a double standard on boring. Try again next week.

If you dare!

Only one question Nadja! It’s multiple choice: What comes ofter TICK??
A. tok
B.lime disease
C.snores from ABM
D.what was the question again-I was watching the dust motes.
OOOH Mary! Is that a gauntlet I see? A challenge? In one week I will completely OUTBORE you-(the self-proclaimed queen of the bore!)and…. I will do it without any words of any kind (except the ones in your pretty header) OOOH YEAH! challenge accepted library lady! BRING IT ON!

It’s 4th of July next week, are you sure that you are up to it? I might recite the Dewey Decimal System and THEN where would you be?
June 27, 2009 at 4:32 pm
dandelionmom
It’s in the Q already! Dewey might be a tough act to beat but I’ve got a shot! Not a word in the whole thing until the end where I tell people to look at yours and leave me a comment if I win the bore-off! Of course if you go Dewey one better and recite LOC I have not a chance in the world!
Are you scared yet? I’m tellin ya-I got a shot at your title!

Oh my gosh – you win! Brilliant! That was so boring!
June 27, 2009 at 5:37 pm

Thanks Dawn!! who knew I was sooo very talented?

I bet ABM thinks she can’t be as boring as we are so she won’t even try. I’m not a Library of Congress type of gal, too bright lights big city for me. I am auto posting next weekend unless I can get internet up in Quincy somewhere so I am afraid that it won’t post. Now that would be boring.
June 27, 2009 at 6:35 pm
dandelionmom
No-THAT would be frustrating for all of us looking forward to playing your game! I am with you on the LOC thing too–so elitist!

This so called boring post certainly generated the comments!

You’re right, Miss Marion – I knew there was NO WAY I could be as boring as the rest of you, so I didn’t even try. When you’ve got a life as glamorous and exciting as mine AND a knack for always using words in a most interesting and engaging way, it’s next to impossible to be boring. That’s just a fact about myself that I’m going to have to accept. As we say in Catholic circles, it’s my cross to bear.

THAT has got to be the funniest comment so far…who’da thought almost 20 comments on ticktocks! The comments are NOT boring!
June 30, 2009 at 2:55 pm
Mary
ABM–In Catholic circles we would tell you to offer up that cross and move on. I’m not sure that today’s post on YOUR BLOG wouldn’t have worked for Saturday, especially since it won’t let me comment on it. Comments in the bloggy world seem a bit stubborn today.
(Unless you deleted my comment?)
Dandelionmom, you win for the most interest in a Boring Post for Saturday. Hands down.

Huh?! Did Mary just say my most recent blog post is boring?!
June 30, 2009 at 9:36 pm
Dawn
That’s exactly what she did! Go get her! I mean, it’s fine to be called boring when you WANT to be boring, but otherwise it’s just bad manners.
July 1, 2009 at 6:47 am
Mary
I just said it would have worked for Saturday. All the Boring Posts for Saturday don’t have to be boring. Only mine are really boring. I always like everybody else’s posts. {I was just trying to trick ABM into posting and it worked, didn’t it? But SHHH, don’t tell her.} (Do you think that Dandelionmom would mind opening a Blogfrog so that we could comment to each other outside of her posts?)

Mary Mary Mary….trying to use my blog comments to BAIT someone into posting…if I did not reap benefits from those posts myself I might have to object!
I want nothing to do with a blogfrog-I hear they pee on you if you squeeze them!
I don’t actually even have a clue what you mean by commenting outside of my posts…sounds a little facebookey….I don’t network you know–still thrilled every morning I wake up and remember I am no longer in Jr High!
July 1, 2009 at 5:45 pm
Mary
Okay then, we will have to keep posting in the comments. I’m with you and Junior High except that I work there so most days I have to go. I’m sure we could house train the Blogfrog.
