At least I made the sloth happy

I stumble onto a lot of funny things on the internet (thank you, Facebook). But this is the perfect combination of witty and adorable, and you just can't get that at the corner store*.

So check out 33 Animals Who are Extremely Disappointed in You and enjoy the stylings of someone much funnier than me. And tell me which animal is your favorite!

*Is that a saying or did I just make that up?

I totally need to get one of these

This weird contraption makes your shouts come out like whispers, reducing the volume of of everything you say. I totally need to get two of these for my kids. Think I could strap them on somehow? Their use will be mandatory, of course. Especially at 6am!

It's Draw a Dinosaur Day!

Monday, January 30th, is the sixth annual Draw a Dinosaur Day. This is the first year I've heard of it, so technically I should draw six dinos to catch up, but I'm pretty sure nobody wants to see that many badly drawn pictures. So here's my single entry, which I OF COURSE submitted to the website (I'll let you know when I hear that it was soundly rejected):

You're welcome!

(P.S. That weird little tail part isn't supposed to be there. SHH!!!)

UPDATE!: They posted it! Although, sadly, they only posted my first version which accidentally didn't include the caption. ANYWAY, mine is here on page two, or go directly to it here. SUBMIT YOUR OWN!

Summing it up

I thought it would be good for me to start a weekly wrap-up thing (a la thebloggess.com, although I'm clearly not as awesome as she is), so I thought I'd start showing some of the things I do during the week that don't show up on this blog.

So, while I've been doing a lot of other work, something I've done online that I can show you is my Zazzle store. I started it last year in an attempt to monetize this blog and therefore justify the time I spend on it. The store was a colossal failure in that 1) I didn't have much time to put it together and 2) I'm pretty much a horrible artist.

Despite these flaws, I'm trying to make a go of the store again. I've put two mugs related to Interstitial Cystitis in it, and several new things that include my favorite snowmen.  You can find my store here, or click on the "store" tab above.

Thanks for your support!

Clothing choice gone wrong

A few weeks ago, I walked through the parking lot of Target behind a woman with an exceptionally large behind. Now, the size of her behind, though exceptional, was not worth blogging about. Many people have ample behinds, and no one cares. But how she adorned it, now THAT had me wishing I could get out my camera.

First of all, she had elected to wear white pants that appeared to be a second skin. Now, I don't even own white skintight pants, but if I did, I think I would wear them with a long shirt that covered my behind. But let's give this woman the benefit of the doubt. Let's say that maybe these are her most comfy pair of pants, and maybe she doesn't own a long shirt. I'll let all of that go. But here's the kicker:

She was wearing a leopard print thong underneath.

I don't care who you are, you've got more than one pair of undies. And even if the thong is the only clean pair, in this situation, you either choose the white pants or you wear the thong. Under no circumstances is it OK to wear essentially see-through pants and very obvious underwear. I realize that I am horribly unfashionable, but even I know this. It is like a clothing LAW.

I tried my hardest to draw this phenomenon for you, but I failed miserably. Fortunately, Google was my friend and I discovered this blog entry. The first photo gives you the idea, but you have to imagine the leopard print on the thong. Enjoy!

I sucked at parallel parking in drivers ed

Kale Chips?

I spent some of this afternoon making kale chips and then a smaller portion of this afternoon learning that I don't like kale chips. I was hoping they would be like the veggie chips I get at the health food store, but they have a chewiness to them that's just hard to get past. I suppose I could have done something wrong, but the recipe was simple and I'm not really sure how I could have muffed it up.

You can't tell that they are crispy in this photo, but they are. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the remaining "chips," but I think one blog I read had it right when they suggested smashing them into a dust and sprinkling them on other food. (Don't tell anyone here, but tonight's fish was dusted with kale as a healthy seasoning. SHHHH!)

If you too would like to waste a portion of your day making kale chips, you can find many recipes on the internet. After reading a few, I used this one, primarily because it said you didn't have to line your pan with paper (which I don't have). Of course, this means that none of the recipes require paper, but that was my reasoning and I'm sticking to it.

I bet the dogs will eat these, and for sure the rabbits....

(Or you could just buy them. Less time invested in making horrible tasting food, but more money. It's your call.---->)

This is why I love the Internet

I've been lamenting the fact that my healthy oatmeal cookie recipe is better before baking, particularly since the kids love the dough but won't even eat the cookies. I started wondering about whether I could just make the dough sans egg and forget baking it altogether. So I googled the idea and behold:

Cookie Dough That's Safe to Eat ~ Cupcake Project

Obviously, my idea wasn't original, but that's totally OK because I'm eating my healthy oatmeal cookie dough right now and it's delicious.

I know a thing or two (or 100) about fandoms, but this one really surprised me. I was originally going to just make some serious fun of it (it's so easy), but really, who needs that? I don't understand these guys' fascination for this show but you know what? I'm glad they're having fun. Maybe I'll sit down with The Girl and see what it's all about.

(Probably not, though.)
