The
letter for today is: U, where I feature untidy
and ugli fruit.
The
only way my husband and I differ is in setting out our possessions. You know
what I'm going to say: I'm tidy and he's not. The difference is minute. His untidy habits are seen in the fine
detail, not the big picture. He might leave a chair slightly off-angle with the
table, or hang the utensils in the wrong place. I'm oversimplifying here, but
I'm sure you don't want to read through a list of minor transgressions.
I
wouldn't dream of complaining. In the untidy
stakes, he's in the bottom few.
His
untidy habits are on the same level
as the appearance of the ugli fruit,
which isn't ugly at all. Whoever thought up this name should be shot for lack
of imagination. Ugli fruit looks
like a cross between a pear and a mandarin. This citrus fruit doesn't deserve
its title any more than my husband can be called untidy.
Are they really called ugly fruit? What do they taste like?
ReplyDeleteAha! I think Ugli fruit have the most wonderful aroma. I am untidy. My husband is not. He does complain. I don't blame him... I'm more like an Ugli fruit smashed with a mallet...
ReplyDeleteLove the Ugli fruit. Not untidy though. Not with seven kids. Ha! And I have no trouble motivating my characters. I was speaking of the fear of failure with my writing, in the past. I made my post clearer so no one would misunderstand. Thank you for the visit over at my house. *waving*
ReplyDeleteUnusual!

I'd never heard of Ugli fruit before! Interesting!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of Ugli fruit, it looks very pretty :)
ReplyDeleteI am very untidy, or better: chaotic. I lose my glasses the moment I take them off, for instance. I always suspect them of having their own teleportation.
I really want to try ugli fruit ... don't think our local supermarket stocks it though ...
ReplyDeleteFun correlation! Now I have to add Ugli Fruit to my list of things to try! ~ Angela, Whole Foods Living, http://www.wholefoodsliving.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteOh my Lord, I can relate do both!
ReplyDeleteA typo, sorry. I mean to say: I can relate to both.
DeleteMy husband is untidy, as are my kids. I was born an untidy person and was very untidy when I lived alone. But after living with so many untidy people, I have had to change my behavior, or else we would never find anything in this house and we'd probably all break our necks tripping over one another's shoes! :)
ReplyDeleteI've always been curious about ugli fruit. But I'm really picky about fruit, so I've been reluctant to try it. I may have to, though, at least for the experience!

Ugli fruit? How does it taste?
ReplyDeleteNice post! Love the comparison you've made. Ugly fruit certainly isn't and your hubby sounds far from untidy. Thank you for visiting my blog this morning. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is kind of an odd but cool-looking fruit. I wonder if I can find one here in Texas...
ReplyDeleteI can keep the whole house spotless... except for the spare bedroom upstairs... which is where all the junk and dirt end up. I am both tidy and untidy.
ReplyDeleteI'd never heard of Ugli fruit...goes to show my ignorance. Lovely post! My husband does things like keep utensils in the wrong order too, and it drives me nuts! I never find anything. But thats just untidily tidy right? Not really untidy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog!

I've become less tidy because there isn't enough time in my life to be finicky.
ReplyDeleteI said to Rick the other night, "Erma Bombeck promised women that they'd never look back on their lives and wish they'd cleaned more. But boy, I sure wish someone else would!"
The photo won't load. Sigh. Off to google ugli fruit.
ReplyDeleteMy hubs is pretty neat...my teenage son that is SO NOT. I just keep his door closed.
I don't think Ugli fruit is ugly either, but I do have one in my fridge. Picked it up out of curiosity and am looking forward to trying it.
ReplyDeleteHello! Thanks for visiting my blog! :-)
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute post. I feel bad for the fruit because it isn't ugly. In any way!
Good luck! You have a new follower
