Second only to the cheese.

1 Comments

As some of you may remember, my family and I took a little trip to Amish country in Pennsylvania a little over a year ago.  The Amish are known for many things, all of which are awesome.  Among these are cheese, baked goods, and these sweet ass scooters that you see them kicking all over town. 



I mean, I guess if only one Amish had to get from point A to point B, hitching up the team would be a lot of work, so those who roll solo roll on these bad boys.  Now, I don't think I'm over reaching here to call these things completely badass, and because I have never ever seen them anywhere else, I often find myself daydreaming about them.  Today while stumbling through the blogosphere I happened upon a pretty little website that sells them!  And they are tooooo lovely.


AmIRIGHT?  That's right, for just $245 (plus shipping and handling) you yourself can be the proud owner of one of these lovely Amish scooters!  The best part??? You get to keep your electricity and your car, you don't have to build your own house, and you can still have anonymous sex in gas station bathrooms!  Hooray for the internet!

Love!

A Very Merry Un-Christmas

0 Comments

I have been told that my non red and green Christmas decor is very un-Christmassy.  I don't care, I kind of like it.


I had always thought that I didn't mind not having curtains... until I saw this picture.  Yeesh!  Why didn't anyone tell me I needed curtains? You guys are dicks. Good thing I got a sewing machine for Christmas! Now all I need is to learn how to use it.

Don't forget the tree

Christmas is FAST approaching (yeesh), and Design Sponge posted a sweet ass tutorial on how to make this awesome balsa wood tree.


No home should be without one this holiday season. I love the little deer as well :)

"Tis the season for...

Vagina sweaters???

This past weekend I had probably the funnest fun I've had for a long time.  By this time I am sure you are all plenty familiar with the old Ugly Christmas Sweater party, and while the name alone seems like it should be descriptive enough, in fact, it is not.  I have been to quite a few of these, each one decidedly different from the last.  Some involve obnoxious drunkards, while others involve a whole lot of me standing awkwardly next to the wall with my arms crossed simultaneously hoping that someone/no one will come and talk to me. Urgh! The most recent of these seasonal fetes was at the home of a friend of mine who's hostessing skill I had not yet had the pleasure of enjoying.

 Now, initially almost all social invites strike fear deep into my soul.  As a former agoraphobe I begin first by imagining all or the terrible tragedies that could befall me should I decide to attend.  However, despite my charming insanity the beau and I spent last Saturday combing the local thrift stores for an ugly Christmas sweater (which is infinitely more difficult to obtain once you are knee deep in the month of December). 

So we went.  We went to the party.  He in his skin tight ladies' red pop collared sweater, and I in my snowman sweater, which had somehow developed a vagina throughout the laundering process.


It was weird, yes, but it was so much fun! There was awesome food, hilariously creepy table dancing, and plenty of friendly belligerence.  All in all a pleasurable evening, spent in the company of friends (new and old) and one fabulous extra large vagina sweater.

Happy Holidays!

Hot like cakes, All Day, errday

Girl Talk, the musical mashup master has released his new album and it's FREE, FREE, FREE! I'm halfway through and it's definitely the new hotness.  Now, I may not be qualified to call anything hot, since I'm about as cool as your grandmother, but whatever, I'm dancing in my desk chair and looking like a fool, which is my second favorite thing to do at work. If you wish you were doing the same, download the whole album right here: http://www.mediafire.com/?vy057v6rld16oee, it definitely beats a few rounds of solitaire.


Enjoy!

Spring forward, Fall back...into my bad habits

Well, that lovely feeling of well-restedness that came along with that extra hour of sleep last Sunday morning has finally worn off.  I'm back to falling asleep at my desk. Halp!
