My New Favorite Song

If you don't dance at least a little, check your pulse. You may need medical help.

Amigurumi = Too Cute For Words!

Okay, so your first question will be "what the heck is amigurumi?" It is Japanese and means something like "tiny knitted stuffed animals" or something like that. Well, I've known about it for a couple of years and think it is adorable. I wanted to learn but wasn't motivated enough at the time.

Well, I got a sweet gift in the mail from my cyber friend Valerie. Which awakened my love for this tiny craft. I mean seriously, can this cupcake be ANY CUTER??? (I had to borrow this picture from my pal Patti but mine is this same exact color, size, style, etc.)





Now that I have a baby on the way I think I seriously need to learn how to do this. Look what cute stuff I could make? (These pictures were found on pages 1-33 when I googled Amigurumi images.)

Best Quote on Fox & Friends

The segment was "Can Money Buy Happiness."

Alisyn, who's sitting in for Gretchen, says:

I've been broke in my life and I've been not broke. I have to say being not broke is better.


You said it, sister!

Juicy Juice

I don't know if this will be funny to anyone but me, but John made me laugh so hard and I had to share it with someone.

I'm cutting up an orange at my desk and have pulp and juice all over my hands. So of COURSE the phone rings while I'm all sticky with a huge orange wedge in my mouth.

Phone: *ring ring*
Me: @$!#@!$ Hello?!
John: Hey what's up. Are you busy?
Me: Well, I just cut up an orange and have juice all over my hands and now the phone and most likely my hair.
John: Oh, want me to let you go?
Me: Too late now. I just flicked pulp all over my papers picking up the phone.
John (without missing a beat): Would that be a pulp fliction?

Make your fish feel like a boss


Though this office fish aquarium is cute, I can't believe the conversation that must have taken place in some conference room to bring the idea to life:

Marketing Dweeb: "Hey! I have the PERFECT idea! This idea is soooooo great that we'll make zillions! How about a fish tank that looks like a cubicle?"

Marketing Dweeb's Boss: "Spencer, just when I think you can't possibly be any more of a waste of oxygen, you come up with an idea like this. You are BRILLIANT!"

Question for Clothing Manufacturers

Why why why do you make the softest most luxurious feeling clothing....something so dreamy it feels like you are wearing kitten hugs all over...then use barbed wire to stitch in the tag and washing instructions??!!!

And not in just one place but two (behind the neck and along the left side of the torso. You all know what I'm talking about.)

Then...*THEN*...to top it off you make it so intricately woven that when I get enraged enough to try and rip it out on the way to work my whole shirt splits in half????

Seriously. Can someone answer this question for me?
