Lights in my kitchen
Tate put them up, he’s so proud
Praise Tate! I can see!
My nice, neat pantry
There’s a place for everything
Don’t mess it up, please!
Bottom pantry shelf
Looking at it gives me hives
Hell has broken loose
Here resides my brain
Appointments, birthdays, phone calls
My calendar pal
African Violets
One alive, one dead, that’s odd
I should just pitch it
I don’t kill all plants
My bamboo plant is awesome
Good luck in Bama
Look!! Pretty, black stove!!
Got you for $200 bucks
I love a bargain!
Damn kitchen counters
Always messy, full of crap
This gives me hives, too
Hmmm, see the fryer?
This could explain my big ass
But I like fried food
Doodaddy tagged me for this 8 things about my kitchen meme…this was merely a break from my meme hiatus, which resumes……Now.
Update…Phoenix also tagged me for an 8 things about me meme, so BOO-YA! Three birds with one stone!

To play along for Haiku Friday, follow these steps:
1. Write your own haiku on your blog. You can do one or many, all following a theme or just random. What’s a haiku, you ask? Click here.
2. Sign the Mister Linky below with your name and the link to your haiku post (the specific post URL, not your generic blog URL). We will delete your link if it doesn’t go to a haiku. If you need help with this, contact Jennifer or myself.
3. Pick up a Haiku Friday button to display on the post or in your sidebar by clicking the button above.

Great ku, great kitchen! Man are you organized. I kid not!
If I had one of those fryers, I’d even be deep-frying my fruits and veggies!

Love your kitchen. At least you’ve kept one of the African violets alive. If it were me, I’d have killed ‘em both.

WHERE oH WHERE did you get a slide-in stove for $200?? I LOVE a bargain too! (and apparently capital letters?)
Great haiku BTW

Great take on the ‘ku, girl!

Now that’s a multitasking mama! Combining your haiku with the latest meme! You get extra points for that.
Me? Lately I need memes just to come up with a post. This Mommy brain needs recharging!

I think we have the same fryer.
Oh the horror! You MUST do something about that bottom pantry shelf. (And never ever look in my pantry)

Oh, and I must add.
That wall color in your kitchen…looks very familiar. Very familiar indeed.

You have a pretty kitchen.
Nice lighting job too!
I know you can hear me...
October 12, 2007 at 4:57 pm
I love your kitchen! But my favorite part is the Cardinals calendar in the pantry…

Love it. I’d tagged you too, but I guess this was the same meme.

Great odes to your kitchen (And Tate!)!
I am too embarrassed to post pics of my cabinets. Except the ones I keep my dishes in, of course.

I asked for a fryer for my bday or Christmas! I love fried food (Southern girl at heart). I love your kitchen and your plants are great!

We have that same deep fryer, too! I am proud to say it hasn’t gotten much use lately, tho.

Way to go killing all of those memes at once. And, yay tate installing the lights. Your kitchen is WAY more organized than mine.

I am jealous of your pretty, pretty kitchen lights. Tate did an excellent job. And that pantry is so organized – you would have a heart attack if you saw my kitchen.

Very funny! You are an expert at Haiku.

October 13, 2007 at 3:06 pm
Definitely the expert. I am soooo not getting the art of haiku so I will leave it all to you.
Oh maybe I am a poet and didn’t know it.

I don’t have a haiku, but I had to tell you, I have the SAME calandar/brain on my fridge! I don’t know why I think that’s so amazing. Maybe I should go back to bed.

You have actual food in your pantry!!! Maybe if I got that I might not need the diet!!! I have a lot of junk food, not that I eat it….. Congrats on the new light, I wish my hubby would get to his honey do list. And the stove for $200. I never find those bargains!!!HAHAHA.

brilliant, dude. the haikus cracked me up anyway, but to take down the kitchen meme and the 8 things about me at the same time…i am humbled.

I would never be brave enough to post a pic of my pantry. There’s a reason that door always remains closed.

I loved the pictures with the haiku!

ah! you are funny! your stove rocks. your counters are neat compared to mine! I kill all plants including hard to kill bamboo.
I’m scared to haiku! but i love reading yours. especially the extend-a-version…

I love the haiku & the pictures!
And how tidy is your pantry. Even when I just cleaned our pantry is does not look that tidy.

Excellent haikus, and thanks for the kitchen tour!
Having fun catching up, I’ve been away and missing my bloggers!
