The Anti-Baby Baby Shower

I don't know about you, but I am pretty tired of consistently shelling out money every year to those who procreate. I understand the point of baby showers and how they are to help new parents with the over whelming burden and cost of their spawn. I don't plan on having children and feel I'm paying for everyone else to have children at this point. Isn't a baby enough of a prize for having sex?

Which brings me to my point.  I've been thinking of having the Anti-baby Baby Shower. People should pay me not to procreate. Think about it, you're thanking me for not adding to the overpopulation of the planet, not wasting of any more natural resources, a chance for your kid to succeed (let's face it my kid would kick your kid's butt) and the list goes on.

Things on my gift registry would be, but not restricted to:

fine china

expensive and breakable art

glass coffee tables

firearms

firecrackers

power tools

contraceptives

noisemakers

Let me know if you have any other ideas for things to add to the gift registry!

Thanks!

Muppet Inspired Art

I thought it would be a great idea to start the week out with a happy thought. I was raised on Muppets and Sesame Street as a child. To this day images of these shows still put a smile on my face. I love the innocence and wholesomeness of the entertainment. I seem to be coming across a lot of Muppet inspired art and thought I would share my happy thoughts with you.

Happy Friday Eve!

My cat loves to play hide and seek. He evidently needs lessons on hiding. His favorite place is the tunnel created between the throw blanket and the sofa, but his rear end and tail are usually hanging out the back. The picture below is him "hiding" in a clear container. On second thought, maybe it is his safety square. All the same, it makes me smile.

Something else that made me smile today was receiving flowers from a friend of mine. I love spider mums! They are seriously one of my top 5 favorite flowers. A beautiful sunshine yellow that it alone can brighten your day. 

Hilarious Letters

I just stumbled across a website that makes me laugh. The site is Dear blank, please blank and the general basis is that it is anonymous letters to whom it may concern. While I was checking this out, I also found an Etsy shop called Sapling Press that is "in cahoots" with this same site and have printed some of the letters from this site. My favorite printed ones are shown below, but their are so many more to chose from on the direct Dear blank site! All in all I think if you need a good laugh or something to make you smile check it out.

Productivity check list

Just found this at You Are My Fave. It is more like a way to procrastinate than a way to be productive which makes it that much funnier. Items she listed to the checklist are ones I totally agree with, such as evening out a row of brownies and wearing the same pair of pants for a week. The real book can be found at the The Regional Assembly of Text for $6.oo.

I have to confess to doing such things as:

~teach yourself to hula hoop
~clip coupons for others
~reorganize sock drawer by style and color

Strong Bad Emails

Happy hour discussion yesterday brought up the topic of the Homestar Runner website. One of my favorite parts of the site are the Strong Bad emails section. I love the humor and occasional song that accompanies the short cartoon. If you love geeky references and innocent humor, you'll love this site. There are so many hidden treasures and cool things within. One of my favorites that never cease to make me laugh is Shape Shifter. Let the hilarity ensue!

Food for thought. . .

I need to order business cards. I was thinking something like this would work.
