Extreme Haiku Kitchen Edition

Haiku Friday



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.

36 People are even more brilliant:

I have one of those fryers too! LOVE it... just call me Madam Junk in the Trunk!

MamaGeek @ Works For Us said...

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!

the planet of janet said...

clever, clever girl! haiku and meme coordination! excellent

tulipmom said...

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

Heidi Hyde said...

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

Great haiku BTW

Victoria said...

LOVE the Ovaltine front and center in the pantry! LOL

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!

mpotter said...

what a great idea
you are always challenging
how much fun you have

great job on all the new kitchen organizing. how do you find the time w/ littlies running around?

Heather said...

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)

Heather said...

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!

Maggie said...

I love your kitchen! But my favorite part is the Cardinals calendar in the pantry...

Anonymous said...

ha! love your meme-haiku....killing two birds with one post is always a plus!

i can never keep my kitchen counter tops from getting clutter...drives me BATTY!!!

Phoenix said...

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

devilishsouthernbelle.net said...

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.

Robin said...

Love the blending of meme's and haiku's and pics!!

Steph said...

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!

Christina said...

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

Stacey said...

Ha, I've got the very same calendar.
I love it!

AndreAnna said...

I finally tried it!!!Thanks!

Marty, a.k.a. canape said...

I am ever so impressed with your multi-tasking!!!

Anonymous said...

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

Christina said...

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.

i've started a haiku contest. i'm hoping it takes off. hope i can still play here, too.

Very funny! You are an expert at Haiku.

Anonymous said...

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.

Cecily R said...

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.

:)

justmylife said...

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.

Bon said...

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.

:)

Anonymous said...

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

Alex Elliot said...

I loved the pictures with the haiku!

Candace said...

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...

Anonymous said...

I love, love, love, love, love (I could go on but I'll stop) how you did this meme along with the haiku!!!

totally off topic, but apparently one more reason Alabama sucks:

Nadine said...

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.

Anna said...

Excellent haikus, and thanks for the kitchen tour!

Having fun catching up, I've been away and missing my bloggers!
