Okay, so some of you may have heard of "Not Me" Monday, but maybe not ALL of you. So I'm going to use today to INTRODUCE you to it. This "Not Me" Monday therapy is one of the cheapest forms of therapy I know. And it is available to all!!! I use it on occasion when I just need to admit all of my shortcomings while denying them 100%. Oh yea, it's fabulous!!!
So without further ado...
Last week while downtown for our small town's Christmas Parade, I certainly did NOT lose my daughter. Nope, I could NEVER lose my daughter. After all, she's my youngest, my only girl, my pride and joy --- so I couldn't lose her. AND if I did lose her, I sure as heck would notice. Right? Right? I mean what kind of mom loses her daughter and doesn't even notice for 10 minutes? NOT ME! No way! I'm far better than that. I was NOT the mom who heard her voice called over the P.A. system, "We have a lost child... would ERICA SCOTT please come to the media trailer." Nope, those are NOT words that I heard. And in case you hear otherwise from the crowd of friends I was there with, they don't know what they're talking about! *sigh*
It was NOT me who could be found standing outside my office on Friday... sticking my tongue out... taking pictures of myself trying to catch SNOW on my tongue! Nope. I'm not that weird, that silly, or that impressed by snow flurries in Texas! Even though I've rarely seen it fall in my lifetime, I would NEVER be so silly as to go outside in the freezing cold and try to catch it on my tongue. Nope, NOT me. I'm way cooler than THAT!I don't know where these pictures surfaced came from. They are NOT me. I obviously have a twin out there. OBVIOUSLY! Because I already told you that I would NOT be caught dead doing this outside my office. No way!
And this picture was NOT taken simply to prove that there were snowflakes out there. This one landed on my scarf. And just think --- there could be a whole WORLD of "Whos" living right there in that ONE little snowflake! =0) Sing it with me...♪ "Fah voo dores, Fah voo dores, Welcome Christmas bring good cheer..." ♪
And THAT, my friends, is how you do a "Not Me" Monday.

Ahhhhh. Relief!
Have a magnificent Monday, y'all!
It was not me that waited until Saturday to do something about the fact that she was supposed to provide the special music for Sunday morning. Absolutely not. I could never do something like that. And it was not me that kept forgetting the words while she was singing and throwing in other words that confused her singing partner. Nope. Couldn't have been me.
ReplyDeleteErica, I love it! I could do Not Me Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesday, And probably Fridays! LOL

You would be a great movie star in denial cathching snow flake on our tonuge to relieve stress lol.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, you look awesome! Secondly, I want snowflakes to play in. We had a few flurries on Saturday, but that was it.

Funny! I was so hoping for some snow at our house too...but it stopped about an hour north of us! My boys were so dissapointed!
ReplyDeleteI need " not me" therapy every day of the week. You all can have some of our Colorado snow. We have plenty.
ReplyDeleteSo funny! We were supposed to get some snow Saturday, but it didn't get far enough south for us! Ashton was very upset with the weatherman!!

Hey, I saw that teeny tiny snowflake, lol! We haven't had any yet. It's been cold and right around 30 degrees but the sky is clear.
ReplyDeleteWhen you start that roadtrip you blogged about you'll get to see some snow, lol!
haha I love it!
ReplyDeleteWe have those tiny snowflakes coming down right now. I would rather now see them until Christmas:)
ReplyDeleteThis is my first time visiting your blog (coming by from MckMama's!), and I love it! What a breadth of opinions in one place!

Very cool! I would totally be out trying to catch snowflakes too. What's wrong with that? I've never lost my child in public, but there's always a first time, right? My Mom & Dad lost me when I was 7 yr. in Jamestown. We were watching the historic changing of the guards and I marched right out with them. They had to shut the park down for a couple of hours and search for me. Does that make you feel any better?
ReplyDeleteI love your Not Me Monday Posts! Catching snowflakes on your tongue. I could've caught a bunch this morning, but instead I had to slip and slide in my car driving to a doctor's appointment and then to work in the snow instead. Fortunately it's all gone now. But I'm sure it will come back.
ReplyDeleteLove it! You posted the pic of you catching snowflakes!! Nope, I've never lost Kyle, either... ;)
ReplyDeleteHooray for snow! We had some on Saturday...a couple of inches...and some of it is still lingering. We've had some pretty cold temps around here. Brrrr!
ReplyDeleteSo funny! I love the teeny-tiny little snowflake! And your hat is adorable! Glad you could go out and enjoy the snow...I would've done the same thing...and snow isn't rare here! haha!
ReplyDeleteIm glad that you "CAUGHT" that snowflake in action or we would all be wondering what # to call to get you some help..LOL
ReplyDeleteCute POST!
:D LOL! What better thing than to catch snowflakes on your tongue! :D
ReplyDeleteI did NOT give birth 36 or so years ago to a daughter who would one day lose her daughter in a crowd. Because of course, I NEVER drove away from church leaving my newly adopted 14 month old son. He was in good hands, of course, with someone that was just carrying him around for fun...but still. Nope, I did not give birth to a daughter who is so much like me that I feel sorry for her! And I've NEVER taken a silly picture in my life! Right, Erica?
ReplyDeleteLove, Mom
It's not me that has just now ordered her Christmas Card pictures!! Nope..not me at all being so far behind!
