Peg is absolutely right, and I am not sure how I missed it! Hey, maybe the OCD is cured! That trip to Lourdes really worked!
Here's my fifth thing of five and in keeping with Blackbird's original intentions, it is NOT book-related:
Five Things in/on my Nightstand
a bottle of seltzer water
my ceiling fan remote
a blue spaghetti-server thingey from IKEA that works wonderfully as a back-scratcher (and no, I do not put it back in the kitchen, its exclusive use is now as a back-scratcher)
a stack of to-be-read books
the newest issue of House and Garden
Oh, and the bear claw has been consumed. So I owe you a different purse item: how about, a recipe for Recuperation Soup, from Esurientes, one of my favorite food blogs and probably the first blog I ever started reading, via Lazy Cow? I am dying to try it.
All right. As you were...
National Meme Week continues...

Hmm , I can't work out what a barrette is. A hairband?
I like the sound of your fridge contents!
A barrette? It's a hair holder--it has a front that is sometimes plain and sometimes decorated. The back clips it on, to hold the hair back.
I just found a British (I think) site that calls them autoclasps. Perusing the Aussie sites, it looks like they are just called hair clips.
There's a website called www.barrettebaron.com that has pictures.
Now--that's more than you wanted to know!
'Barrette' sounds like something to do with marching bands.
However I do happen to know that it is American for 'hair clip'.
PS. You know, the pineapple will have more flavour out of your fridge, kept at room temperature.
OK, so what is a hair grip then?
and I know about the pineapple/fridge thing but we are battling the invasion of the fruit flies as best we can. the open bottle of red wine on the kitchen table is the fruit fly trap, not a sign that we are snarfing wine for breakfast, I swear....
BB, you need one more set of five so there are five sets of five things please?
P.S. Etymologically speaking, "barrette" was/is really French. We just did that American thing and twisted the pronunciation of a possibly made up word to suit our own purposes.
I need a picture of the spaghetti thing.

Glad you rescued that bearclaw...I was getting worried.
