– My hair grip – the Bean calls it a shark and runs around the house snapping it at people. Then she leaves it in some unimaginably Bean-ish place that no one else is small enough to crawl into – and we never see it again.
– My phone – and it’s invariably on silent so I can’t even ring and locate it.
– Scissors. And nailcutters. Really. Always. Why?
– Interesting people. Just as you befriend them, they move or you move and you are left with a virtual friendship.
– Slippers. For a person who takes so much care of her feet, I am always roaming around barefeet, hunting for my slippers
– The OA 😀
And here an award from Priya for being an honest blogger and a beautiful blogger! Thanks very much Priya – this is awesome and very sweet of you.
and Itchy’s award for being creative.
And finally here is an award I have to thank all of you for. The Avant Garde Bloggies Award – for the Most Evocative Post on Parenting. Thanks AGBA and thank you guys 🙂 It’s a pleasure having you here, interacting with you and seeing the world through your eyes. Stick with me.. the best is yet to be 😉
The Mad Momma 
Last one was a good one, but why does he disappear when his lovely wife needs him???
Is it not five things?Then why do you pull OA’s leg by mentioning him in sixth place?
And Congrats for all your awards.
Ha! My kids call it the “fin”. We are perpetually hunting for cello tape and glue – especially when the bday present is to be wrapped in 30 seconds or less.
congrats, MM for your award and LOL @ the OA one! 😀
LOL at missing husbands!!! Yup, each of these items seriously go missing ALL the time! My theory is it’s those little people Mary Norton called The Borrowers!
And I’m feeling the grief now as interesting people are moving away…but there’s a compensation, more interesting people are moving closer! Maybe one can have only a limited number of interesting friends at a time!
Congrats on the awards. You deserve all of them!
Dear MM, did i tell u that my fb update today is credited to u, it goes ‘every momma is a mad momma…’ and we seem ot hv concluded this ‘love her, hate her, can’t just ignore her!’ 🙂 Keep the posts coming…
LOL! should i be flattered? okay 🙂
LOL at OA 😀
thanks for the post!! btw, to accept the award, you are supposed to list down 10 honest things about yourself..
do i? oh dear. let me amend that immediately!
same pinch for the ‘my name is red’ thing. i tried three times. HAD to drop it after one or two pages. now it rests majestically in my book shelf. i still have a hope i might b able to read it some day. someday..
one more same pinch for ‘generous’ self. i too can do that, just gift anyone anythng i have, even though some times i regret later ( eww…)
