8 things
Sara from the Breathing Post tagged me with the 8 tag earlier this week. I know you’re supposed to do 8 lists of 8 things, but the Pond has its own set of rules. So I give you…8 things you didn’t know about the Blond Duck.
1) There are toilet seat covers hanging in my closet. Would you like to hear the story? Another time, perhaps.
2) We have a thing for fat little birds. They’re all over the house. I even give fat little birds to my mother-in-law and her best friend. We just all have a thing for them.
3) In fact, we have random critters all over the house in general. If you listen closely, they talk to you.
4) I can’t wear high heels. I always wobble and wiggle and end up breaking something.
5) I adore twirling in aprons.
6) There’s a hummingbird that comes to our window every morning at the same time. He sits on our feeder and gobbles down his nectar. I like to think we’re having breakfast together.
7) I dump ketchup on most of my vegetables. I have no idea why. I just like it.
I’ve never had pie for breakfast, but I’ve always wanted to.
If you want to play, post this on your own blog!
Stay tuned, Invisible Friends! We have a week of whimsical fun coming up! There’s a new Gift tomorrow and a fun tale about the Pond Tuesday! Then we’ve got a new Penelope’s Pie Shop, a classic recipe and an ode to Peanut Butter and a new Twirl! Stay Tuned!

I love you!!!
I totally eat everything with ketchup. Have you tried mac and cheese? Mmmmm…. grilled cheese? Yum!
Aren’t hummingbirds amazing to watch?
April 19th, 2009 at 2:52 am
PS will you please do a post with pics of all your critters??

It is always fun to learn new things about you, Duckie! Because I know those things will never, ever be boring. I will eagerly be checking back for the toilet seat covers in the closet story.

I can’t believe you’ve never had pie for breakfast! You should start!
April 19th, 2009 at 5:35 am
Nice list – I have a thing for fat birds too! I kind of enjoy the thin ones as well….Wish I could tell you I have never had pie for breakfast either!!
April 19th, 2009 at 6:06 am
Maybe you could have pie for breakfast and work backwards through the day and eat breakfast for supper?
I want to hear the story about the toilet seat covers!!
April 19th, 2009 at 6:06 am
I like watching birds with my grandma.
April 19th, 2009 at 6:20 am
I have had pie for breakfast. My dad was a big fan. He’d put milk over apple pie – like an apple dumpling. He would spin that as a very healthy breakfast. It wasn’t a hard sell…
I also like ketchup on mac and cheese, like one of the above commenters. Mmmmm – ketchup…
April 19th, 2009 at 7:25 am
Fun post. I enjoyed reading more about you!
April 19th, 2009 at 7:59 am
You have to have pie for breakfast!!! I triple dog dare you!!
April 19th, 2009 at 9:20 am
We love fruit pies for breakfast, and actually had pecan pie for breakfast last week.
We love fat birds too…but mainly for eating. LOL!
Can’t wait to hear about your toilet seat story!
April 19th, 2009 at 9:57 am
I enjoyed these 8 points about you, they are really pleasant!
April 19th, 2009 at 11:26 am
You have never had pie for breakfast! Cold apple pie eaten out of your hand for breakfast is a delight!
April 19th, 2009 at 12:16 pm
oh that’s such an adorable post!
my parents actually had the cream cheese/flan pie that i made for them for breakfast this morning! so adorable!
April 19th, 2009 at 1:00 pm
Humming birds are so cool! I am glad one visits you! Do you have feeder for him?
April 19th, 2009 at 2:25 pm
Can you please post why you have the toilet seat covers hanging in your closet? I would love to hear the story!!
April 19th, 2009 at 2:56 pm
i can’t wear heels either! i haven’t worn them in years. and i am definitely with you on the pie for breakfast. we should create a national “pie for breakfast” day. because if it’s a holiday, it’s ok. now the only question is…. what kind of pie?!?!
April 19th, 2009 at 2:56 pm
oh and i freaking love those toilet seat covers!
April 19th, 2009 at 3:32 pm
I like that you like to twirl in aprons and that you feel as if you are having breakfast with your humming buddy. You should definitely try the pie for breakfast idea – not even in college after an all nighter?
We had days in college where we were up all night cramming and went to village inn for breakfast/dinner – we had pie! 
April 19th, 2009 at 3:47 pm
Oh…Duckie, You make me smile!!! Thank you for sharing your 8 with us. …. and… I have had pie for breakfast…. apple pie… it is great… try it.
Have a great week. Love, Lura
April 19th, 2009 at 5:24 pm
Oh Duckie, I learned a little bit more about you and why are those toilet covers in the closet?
April 19th, 2009 at 5:58 pm
We have a thing for gnomes here at the Pretty, so I completely understand.
Waiting with bated breath for the toilet seat cover update!
April 19th, 2009 at 8:16 pm
Oh gosh – my mom would die with all the bird statues! She has a bit of a bird phobia!
Love learning new and fun things about you! And I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again — LOVE that apron!
April 19th, 2009 at 9:07 pm
Your apron is adorable Duckie! And I think pie for breakfast sounds delightful!
XOXO

Fun Post! The pictures give it a different twist
AND I SO HAVE HAD PIE FOR BREAKFAST! PS. By the way…
April 20th, 2009 at 2:02 am
I’m lovin’ your apron:)
Now all I have to say is…I Dare You to have pie for breakfast!
You could always set aside a morning where all your invisible friends join you in eating pie for breakfast, just imagine people all over the world eating pie for breakfast – hahaha!
April 20th, 2009 at 3:57 am
A Hummingbird joining you for breakfast- you are so lucky! You just reminded me of Cinderella and her little birdie friends. Have a wonderful Spring Day!

Creative and Curious Kids!
April 20th, 2009 at 5:30 am
Mmmm…pie for breakfast:) Maybe the hummingbird is trying to check out all the fat birds you have in your house? They sure are cute!
April 20th, 2009 at 6:10 am
Alright Duckie… you know I love you, but I simply can not abide by the ketchup on veggies! Yuck! Quick… throw another pie recipe on the blog before I lose my appetite
April 20th, 2009 at 6:38 am
You’ve never had pie for breakfast? Why not!?! I insist that you do so this week, there’s no better way to start the day than on a sugar high!
April 20th, 2009 at 6:45 am
I do believe you owe us a toilet seat cover tale…
And I love the little birds!
And pie for breakfast!
April 20th, 2009 at 7:09 am
this was cute – I don’t like ketchup though – rally. I never use it. My kids devour it though! And you must have pie for breakfast dear! Don’t forget the ala mode either!
April 20th, 2009 at 7:45 am
Okay, need to know about the toilet seat covers. Pleeeeeeeeeeease?!
Really that apron is gorgeous so much so I’d be afraid of messing it up in the kitchen.

Fat little birds are so cute! I bet I will start noticing them everywhere now! LOL
Mmmm…pie for breakfast. Or lunch. Heck, even dinner!
April 20th, 2009 at 10:07 am
I can relate to the twirling. I’m a dress twirler. A twirl or two just makes you happy!
April 20th, 2009 at 10:42 am
You havent had pie for breakfast, you should remedy that right now! and Queen Bitty steals my heart every time!
April 20th, 2009 at 11:14 am
You should totally have pie for breakfast…maybe the hummingbird could join you
April 20th, 2009 at 11:18 am
Back when I was teaching, I came across toilet seat covers similar to the ones on your wall, they were super cheap at Walmart or something…I ended up turning them into stuffed animal-esque pillows for the little kids during reading time. So fun!
April 20th, 2009 at 2:52 pm
Oh you can’t waer heels? Although I don’t think you need them as you look quite tall. Me, I need them being 5 foot 2.5 (note the half inch!
). Love the fat birds too and I can’t believe that you’ve never eaten pie for breakfast-I have!
April 20th, 2009 at 4:22 pm
I have eaten pie for breakfast! Tee hee.
April 20th, 2009 at 7:01 pm
Love the apron! It is so pretty
I would be worried that I would ruin it!
April 20th, 2009 at 7:35 pm
Oh this is so neat to read random facts about you!
You did tell me you liked to collect little fat birds. How cute!
We just hung a hummingbird feeder yesterday on our back deck.
I already saw one little Green guy taking a drink.
As soon as I walked up to the sliding door get a closer look he buzzed away. He’ll be back…;)
April 20th, 2009 at 11:00 pm
Oh Duckie don’t deny yourself any longer. Have pie for breakfast. It tastes even better for breakfast and you have all day to wear off the calories. I miss hummingbirds over here. Can you believe they don’t have them? I know! It’s just not right!! XXOO
April 21st, 2009 at 10:13 am
Girl, you are missing out! Pie for breakfast is the BEST!
Maybe that’s why you are thin, and I am… not.
Also, they have meds for hearing talking critters!
April 23rd, 2009 at 10:55 am
I can not believe you have never had pie for breakfast!!
Love your hummingbird.
May 2nd, 2009 at 1:33 pm
Hmm, can’t say that I put ketchup on everything…just things like burgers and fries. lol
I don’t believe you one single bit about not having pie for breakfast. My guess is that’s what you have for breakfast every. single. day. ;0P
Aww, and a humming bird to join you for your breakfast of pie. So cute!
