O is for Oreo

I know.... I know... It's Tuesday but I really have been SO busy. The Labor Day Party and then the company, :( then the new landscaping on the side of the house started, then the new pool remodel needs to be repaired :( ........... oh, and my birthday. Thank you all for the wonderful comments.
So today on Tuesday (sorry) O is for Oreo. I learned (I hope) not to say in front of my hubby that I really like something or I always wanted something. That is not a bad thing but..... when we first got married, I said I really like cactus. So hubby, being a new hubby to me, rushed out and bought cactus. At that tiny little house that I posted about for my "T" I had THOUSANDS of cactus.
I mentioned that I always wanted a cookie jar collection. I was thinking 20 cookie jars would be cool. Five years ago I STOPPED counting at 450. In the cookie jar collection are many Oreo cookie jars..... still unopened with the tags.
People ask me what I call the decorating in my house. Modern?... Traditional?... Country?.... nope, I call it comical :)

It is a cute cookie jar. Many years ago I got a cow cookie jar from a yard sale, and apparently people thought I was crazy about cows. They still send me cow cards at every opportunity and even nicknamed me "Moo Cow."

Collections do seem to take on a life of their own! My SIL let us know she was tired of recieving Boyds Bears by giving them out as gits to everyone one year and saying, " I have so many I can't possibly display them all so I want to share them with you." We got the not so subtle message!

That sure is a lot of cookie jars! I make a lot of cookies, and I don't have a single cookie jar! Guess I should go out and buy at least one..
