Daily Dose of Cupcake Toppers

2 Comments / Cupcake Toppers, Daily Dose /

I am so busy at work, I can’t even BEGIN to tell you how busy. And on top of that, my replacement work laptop arrived – so I took a break and set it up which isn’t really any kind of break at all. Then it hit me – Friday – I have to do cupcake toppers! But what’s the theme?

TW said “women’s history” – I rolled my eyes as she started describing some glass ceiling cupcakes. Err, right, like I can find glass ceiling cupcake toppers. I’m good but not that good. Then she’s rambling about hellcats and Roe V Wade buttons and I finally told her to shush and go read her email since her son is sending us poetry. Which makes me nervous. Heh.

So, in honor of 13 year old poetry lovers everywhere – I dub this Robert Frost Day and suggest miles to go cupcakes.

The image is actually a ceramic ornament which will be too expensive for cupcake toppers (though a nice keepsake for kids if you do have a poet party). You can, however, create a pin or a round magnet using this idea. Or, run down to Michaels and grab a button making machine and make your own buttons.

A weird foodie book

1 Comment / 2007, Books in Bed, Fiction /

Stanley Park was one strange foodie book. I liked the foodie part but the whole storyline about the homeless people and the “children” in Stanley Park was just weird. Though I do understand the underlying theme and I realize that without the homeless storyline, the twist that occurred on “opening night” wouldn’t have happened. And that was pretty brilliant. No I’m not telling you what happened, read it for yourself and see.

I’ve been to Stanley Park, have you?

VOTE Gainesville

Daily Dose, Day to Day, News and Politics /

Good grief, could you Gainesville folks get out and VOTE and make those poor polling place people happy?  I thought they were going to hug us this morning, they were so darn pleased to see us.  I am thinking the polls have been a wee bit slow and these people are bored stiff.

Go. Vote.  I know it’s just a little vote, but it’s still important.  And remember, if you don’t take part in democracy, the right to vote just might be taken away from you – it happened in our little corner of the world, just down the street in Alachua.

Go. Vote. NOW.

I’m pregnant!

Go ahead and congratulate me.

It’s the only explanation I can come up with for why I have had this weird queasy thing going on yesterday and today.  Then, out of the blue, I am craving Kentucky Fried Chicken.

A baby, cool! I was planning on adopting but this is much better. Now about that KFC… would it be wrong of me to end my boycott due to the Papal Fish Sandwich Blessing issue?

Lisey’s Story

3 Comments / 2007, A to Z Challenge, Books in Bed /

It’s been so long since I read a Stephen King novel, I’d forgotten just how LONG they can be (and usually are). Lisey’s Story seemed longer than most because of the whole writing and language thing. It was good, but LONG, LONG, LONG.

Something it made me wonder about – has King’s wife, Tabitha King, written anything besides that book about the girl basketball player? That was good and I remember I used to check the library occasionally to see if she’d written anything else. (I just looked – good grief, she’s written a lot of books. I’m going to have to reserve a few at the library.)

How could I have forgotten?

1 Comment / Family Funk, Holidays /

Well I didn’t actually forget, I just didn’t realize that today was March 1st. Which is sort of dumb since I’ve only written or typed March 1st a zillion times today. What, pray tell, is March 1st – that’s what you’re thinking, right? Silly people. March 1st is PIG DAY!

It is a “smiely” tradition that we have a PIG party and I have no pigs to share for the party. I’m so unprepared. I should be ashamed of myself. And I am. Really. So ashamed that I’m going right now to find you some PIGS to celebrate with.

Here – a PIG O WAR! That’s something worth celebrating, isn’t it? Everyone should know the History of the PIGGY BANK. You’ll astound and amaze folks at your next party or telephone meeting with this sort of knowledge! In honor of this great day, you should all empty your piggy banks and donate money to Pigs, a Sanctuary – tell them smiely sent you! Awwwww a Royal Dandie! How cute! (No Elizabeth, you cannot have one!)

Happy Pig Day to each and every one of you.
