Hello

My name is Killer.

I’m a big scary guard dog.

I protect my pack and my home.

No other dogs in the neighborhood dare come in my yard because they know I’ll kick their ass!

Woof!

Scathingly Brilliant Idea Alert

I have another scathingly brilliant idea!

Forget the detox diets……
The purges…….
The cleanses…….
Go have your colonoscopy!

Not only will you be as clean as a whistle (‘nuff said!)
But you will have done your ‘due diligence’ for your health and hopefully have a good report to boot!

I know, I’m brilliant! Hahahahahaha

(this has been a Public Service Announcement!)

Apparently

Apparently I had a brain fart ordered two of these by mistake.

Would anyone like one?

It’s still in its plastic wrapper. E-mail me your address and I’ll send it to you.

(First one to comment will get it.)

Me and my Mamo

You know how, as you’re sitting in that tiny cubicle all alone wearing the ever so fashionable smock waiting your turn to have ‘the girls’ mashed and mishandled, your mind kind of wanders?

Well, as I was waiting my turn the phrase ‘me and my mamo’ popped into my head, and I started to fool around to come up with lyrics that fit the melody of ‘Me and my Shadow’.

Here goes:

Me and my mamo
Strolling down the long hallway
Oh me and my mamo
Not a soul around to take my fears away

And when it’s appointment time I bare myself   
And plop the girls on the icy metal shelf
Just me and my mamo
All alone and feeling……….. COLD!

So what do you think? Do I have a promising career as a lyricist? LOL

Do you think it will ever make the top ten?

Moleskin

I ordered a Moleskin. It came today.
So cute, so pristine, so scary!
I wonder how long it will be before I have the courage to sully its pages!
Lol

Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin


Addendum to previous post 'Owner’s manual’

Add this to the ever growing list of things I thought I’d never have to say or do.

Chin Hairs?

Really?

And who thought THAT one was going to be so hilarious?

It’s a good thing I’m blonde, (they don’t really show) but….add to the mix failing eyesight trying to hone in on a blonde teeny chin hair and you’ve got the stuff bad sit coms are made of!

Ouch!

GOT IT!

Dreams

I dreamed about this last night, so I had to get it out of my head.

The Tombows are singing me their siren song! And dancing in my dreams! (Don’t ask! LOL)

Not sure if it's finished or not. I guess I'll just let it sit and see if it calls to me for more.
Any ideas greatfully accepted.

Getting the Mail

Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy!

I’m really beginning to enjoy getting the mail!

Look what came today!

From Kim Henkel at Letting in the Light as part of the
Pay it Forward event.

A beautiful diminutive handmade booklet and envelope.






I wish you could reach through your monitor and FEEL this. It’s just lovely! The paper has a ‘finish’ to it that makes it just yummy!
 
And Kim’s beautiful filigree embellishments are exquisite!

I am in AWE of all of you artists out there!

And grateful for being on the receiving end of such bounty!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Kim!

(I was going to use this as part of a birthday greeting for a friend, but I'm thinking I might just have to keep this one for myself! LOL)

O M G

I am totally, unequivocally, and completely blown away!

Look at what came in the mail today!

This is what Connie Jo sent me.






Have you ever seen anything so beautiful?
 
How did she know I’m a sucker for handmade journals? How did she know that I swoon over fibers and beads?

Oh, Connie Jo, you are a true artisan!

A hardcover, hand bound journal with lovely deckled edge pages! (I’ll have to wait until I get much better at sketching to even THINK about making a mark in this!)

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Back in the Day

Back in the day I used to have a doctor, who, after examining me, would pat me on the knee and say ‘get dressed and I’ll meet you in my office’.

I would sit across from her (psychologically equaling the playing field [psych 101]) FULLY CLOTHED and we would discuss whatever needed discussing.

Whatever happened to that courtesy?

Am I the only person left on the planet that prefers to meet someone for the first time with my clothes ON?

I realize the Dr.’s need to push us through in order to cover their malpractice premiums, but still…. How long does it really take to look someone IN THE EYE and have a conversation?

Just sayin’.
