*something to smile about*

I’m feeling kind of crappy about a bunch of stuff I’d rather not bore you with, so I’ll present what’s making me feel happy now instead. Ladies and gentlemen, Narcoleptic Chick in a Sandwich. Thanks to my dear friend Joan of Arrgh for reminding me what really matters in life. Narcoleptic chicks…in sandwiches.

*twitterpated*

I made my very first mix CD this month* as part of an exchange. Even though it sort of sucked, and even though I scrapped several attempts and didn’t get it mailed until weeks and weeks after the deadline, it made me feel somewhat technologically proficient. When I received the package with all the other [...]

*vote early and vote often*

The delightful little webshop Mahar Drygoods is turning one, and holding a first birthday photo contest to celebrate. Won’t you please go here and vote for your favorite picture? I’m not going to be rude and tell you how to vote, but if you can’t make up your mind I’m rather fond of the one [...]

*bits and pieces, weekend review edition*

~After promising a weekend update about Mortimer, the clinically obese hummingbird (COH), I have failed to deliver. I do have a good excuse, though. In tales such as that of Morty, a picture truly is worth a thousand words. Photographing a COH is a bit tricky. Because he is far heavier than the good Lord [...]

*sick & wrong sunday?*

I’m not sure which phrase I’m more fond of — "ten kinds of wrong," or "wrong on so many levels." It’s probably the second one, but in this situation it doesn’t really matter. They both apply.(courtesy of Junk Food Blog, where they seem to think this is a good thing)

*google magic*

I don’t pretend to understand how everything works on this great big mess of tubes we call The Internet. (Or The Interweb, if we’re trying to be funny, but that’s getting kind of  old.) Much like ancient people dealing with matters of science and medicine, I just look at it as magic and appreciate the [...]

*shoe porn*

I just spent about an hour browsing all the pretty green shoes at Zappos. I was hoping to find some kelly green leather mary-janes, but it just wasn’t in the stars. These, however, were. I have a bit of a shoe problem, but not of the Sex and the City variety. I don’t do heels. [...]

*the poodle in a bikini*

No, Not Alex. Or even Zoe. As soon as I saw this post on Neatorama, I knew that I wouldn’t be able to forget about Peteena. What, you’re not familiar with Peteena? She’s a fashion poodle! Much like Barbie, but shorter and fatter. And with a tail. And, um, a poodle head. How could anyone [...]

*h is for hand-stitched*

Okay, one quick thing before my nap. Irene at Blogging Baby just wrote about some really cool hand-stitched t-shirts for wee ones at 60Bugs.com. I’m especially liking the alphabet collection and the drumkit. I think the prices are reasonable, especially the alphabet tees at $22.00. I think her pillowcases are pretty clever, too. That is [...]

*i guess i’m back*

This picture sort of sums up how I’m feeling today. It’s the first day of spring, so I would love to go outside and play. But it’s cold, and it’s rainy, and it’s ugly out there. For the picture to tell you how Sweet Pea is feeling today, she would have to be trying to punch [...]
