I just want to go on a picnic.

The weather here has been mind-blowingly perfect: 75 degrees, sunny, slightly breezy. That means one thing to me, picnics. Everyone should be on a picnic all day, every day in this kind of weather. But my husband hates me, so I have not gone on a picnic. Even though I talk about it ALL. THE. TIME.

I even bought a picnic basket, it kind of looks like this.

I first wanted to go on a picnic LAST YEAR, which is when said basket was purchased. My requests have repeatedly been ignored.

What is not to like about picnics?! Sandwiches and ducks are involved. I can't think of two things better than sandwiches and ducks right now. I mean have you seen a duck? They waddle! And they put their heads underwater and stick their butts in the air! It's ridiculous! And don't even get me started on sandwiches.

Well I'd like to make the announcement that I gave my picnic basket to Good Will last weekend, because I have no room for it, and I'm never going on a picnic. Don't ever have dreams kids.

I'll go on a picnic with you! Or better yet, take Camille! Picnics, ducks, and kids are always more fun together.

"Don't ever have dreams kids."

Hahahahahahaha.


You might as well tell them about Santa & the Tooth Fairy now, too... while you're on a roll.

I have THE MOST ADORABLE picnic basket and picnic essentials, lime green and orange, gifted to me almost four years ago by none other than the adorable Angie in pink. But, despite it's cuteness, it has sat dormant on a shelf in my closet for the past almost four years. If you want to borrow it, it's all yours.

You give up too easily Caca. Like Amber said, Camille would have gone in a heartbeat. And the rest of us, too. Bah, Zach.

I know the feeling. I have yet to go on a picnic and I hint to it almost daily. I have the perfect quilt for it too! Maybe someday...

The honeymoon is over. Maybe he'll go if you let him shot one of the ducks (a sickly one, of course).

Response to Dani and other newly weds. When a man say "I Do", he loses the ability to take a hint. You have to just suck it up and say, "sweetie, if you don't go on a picnic with me, I'm going to stop shaving my legs and, maybe, smother you in your sleep with your own pillow...PS xoxox"

His response (trust me) will be, "I didn't know you want to go for a picnic..."

Sometimes getting husbands to go on a picnic goes no where. Its a treadmill to hell.

Why didn't you give your picnic basket to someone? (hint: me) I'm sure I would have loved to harass my husband to go with me. Maybe if I told him I wanted to go fishing, and then forget the poles, but pack a delectable lunch instead? He'd forgive me right?

Which Goodwill? Im there.

Not to use the basket for the ever dreamed of picnic, but its a perfect gift holder for a bridal shower. Throw in some picnic accessories and you've got another sucker thinking they're gonna go on a picnic someday:-)

Oh, picnic baskets. I bought ours 2 years ago and only used it once. We use it for storage.
