I noticed this morning that someone who knows almost nothing about me could paint a pretty accurate picture based on the front of my fridge. There's more on the door than this shot shows, but this little arrangement seemed particularly telling. So who lives here?
1. Top left - Elementary school year calendar. So there are kids. At least one. It's holding up
2. Center - a picture of the front of an under-landscaped white clapboarded colonial style house. There are cut outs of some pretty standard zone 4 or 5 shrubs and bushes. Person X lives in the northeast? Also holding up that picture are a few other magnets
3. Top right - "Raising teenagers is like trying to nail Jello to a tree." Okay, so at least two kids - one elementary aged, one teenager. The magnet
4. Lower left - from the orthodontist would reinforce the presence of at least one teenager. The
5. Lower right - chunky alphabet magnets would suggest that the elementary aged child is younger. (Or that X doesn't keep up with getting rid of the age inappropriate toys.)
6. Middle right - a promotional magnet from a do it yourself appliance repair website. X is handy. Or perhaps cheap. The landscaping plans held in place by
7. Center - The Girl Bender suggests that X is female. The fact that the graph paper is of the "print your own" variety would favour the "cheap" hypothesis suggested in point #6. As well, both landscaping pictures reinforce the suggestion that X is a do-it-yourself type, but works from a plan. She is not impulsive. The ordered nature, and symmetry present in both designs suggest a left brained nature. Finally
7. The presence of an abundance of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters clip magnets likely confirms the northeast residency, and suggest that perhaps X could use a little more sleep.
Not too far off. So what's on your fridge and what does it say about you?

See my blog when you get a chance. Today's entry is dedicated to you.
Since I don't have the camera at the moment, I will tell you that my fridge has 2 calendars on it. One is the generic freebie from a local something with pictures of local stuff, so that suggests thrift and where I live. The second calendar is about Spain, and on this months pages there are big letters spelling out S-P-A-I-N, so it is very possible someone from my household has gone traveling to Spain.
The magnets are 1. A moose [family joke] 2. An Ivory Snow oldy design. 3. Kokopelli art. 4. Northwestern Raven design. 5. 2 matching oval magnets, very heavy.
So what does your sleuthing mind make of the magnets?
Among other things, my refrigerator includes a jury notice from 2006 and a receipt for a toolbox dated 2003. I believe these are fair and accurate indications that I'm a slob.
Mine has a few "don't give up" type of poems,obits of family members,quilting mag magnets,cars and pics made by Lenin.My fav is the mom's take out spinner with all the fast food chains represented.That one has been the most played with.
