Contest Announcement (that means FREE STUFF!)

Who among us does not love to get
something (preferably something good) for nothing?
Not a one of us.
We all love it.
With the economy showing few signs of improving,
free has become one of my favorite words.
I'm guessing it's one of yours as well...
it is with that in mind that I will be hosting
a coloring contest.
Next week I will be posting an image for you to download,
print and decorate in whatever way you see fit.
Then all you need to do is email me your gorgeous/flamboyant/bizarre
work of awesomeness.
What do you get in return, you ask?
Well all the entries will be posted here for the world to see
(so let's try to keep the content appropriate for the under 18 crowd, shall we)
and one lucky winner will win a free photo
from Down & Dirty Designs.
Its that simple!
So get your crayons, glitter glue and sequins ready
and stay tuned!
I'll be back next week to post the complete details and
coloring sheet.
Have a smashing weekend, one and all!

Another Letter

Dear Mr. President, Members of the House and Senate,

I will NOT pay taxes on my health insurance. I buy my own
and it already costs an arm and a
leg. You want to ration health care services and
eliminate flex spending. You suck.
I work hard for my money and I want to keep it.
There are other solutions to this problem.
I will not live in a socialist country.
Socialism doesn't work...sad but true...
so knock it the hell off.
You are making me sad and angry...and sad and angry
constituents are bad to have in your line of work...
sad constituents mean you get fired.
Just a little something to chew on this morning.
So please take your new health care proposal and kindly
shove it.
Thanking you in advance,
me

A Letter

Dear Jackass,
You called me at 4:10 am. You blocked your caller ID.
It took me forever to fall asleep last night.
You suck.
I don't know who you are, but
I will find you
and
I will call you
incessantly.
Have a nice day.
Sincerely,
Me

A Beautiful Way to Start the Day

So this morning a news story was brought to my
attention. It's pretty amazing and has a
wonderful ending...
and a little note to those people out there who
think animals don't have emotions or souls:
I challenge you to watch this video
and tell me it's a case of
anthropomorphic fallacy.
Go on...I dare you.

Now get out there and enjoy your day,
you beautiful people, you.

Such a Naughty Little Slacker Am I...

I know I've not been posting much as of late.
No excuses really.
I just haven't been feeling all that inspired.
I did, however, take a quick jaunt
down to Houston last weekend
and took OODLES of pictures.
Would you like to see some?
Assuming that your response was "Yes! But of course!"
I shall now present to you
a few of my favorites.
Enjoy.
First stop:
The 59 Diner
I have never, in all my days, seen a more appropriate sign...


Next Up:
The Orange Show
(for those of you unfamiliar with The Orange Show, please follow the above link)








And Finally:
The Art Car Museum






till next time.
hope you all have a smashing day!
