kotex

i wish kotex made bandaids. mainly because I wish my cycle emptied out from my pinkie.

imagine not needing to say “I have my period” or “sorry, it’s pms”. nice, huh? because when you do have your period or when it is pms, who wants to talk? all it would take is one simple motion. yes. that’s right. imagine the guiltlessness of being able to stick your pinkie up at anyone for any reason.

if I may, an example:

husband: hey baby, you wanna…
wife: *sticks pinkie in husband’s face*

the simplicity - and dare i say convenience - of it all.

don't you point that thing at me!

i took this picture (yes, my camera rocks) on my most recent trip to the audubon zoo in new orleans.

the setting. creepy. because. this fly was on a tree infested with a gazillion - nay, a quadragazillion other flies. and. these creatures were not enclosed in an acrylic cage or in a housed exhibit. no. these flies were out in the open.

they.were.wild.

just look see how this fly sticks out his probiscus. all exposed with no shame. wild! wild, tell you!

unicorn

when i was born, technology was on the rise. and a robot chip was placed in me. every few years, it's adjusted and upgraded with the times. this chip allows me to show little to no emotion - unless i've a computer in front of me. in which case, i can emoticon my way to smilies and winkies.

and obviously, this chip does not affect my ability to make everyone laugh from the soul of the belly. i mean, c'mon. i'm hilarious.

moving on.

so last week, my robot chip malfunctioned - as it does every four to five years. and i (whispers) cried. dude. i know. eeeek. gag me. etc.

my friend kearsie often mentions the sighting of a unicorn when something rare or out of the ordinary occurs. in fact, there is this wise ancient saying I just made up. literally. it goes something like… when once thy unicorn appears to sight, ‘tis difficult to tame and lead back into the maple forest.

what does this all mean? nothing really. most likely because my chip is back in working condition. and I have no need to continue on with such sap.

:)

magic bullet

i'll admit it. i watch infomercials. and. i'll memorize any infomercial if i really want the item. that's the only way i can get my hubby to buy me the product. i'll repeat it over and over to him until he can no longer resist. or more likely, until he just wants peace. not "raise the white flag" peace. but "my ears hurt" peace.

so my latest quest was for the magic bullet. not to be confused with any other bullet. it's amazing. it crushes and grinds like nobody's business. um. not to be confused with any other crushing or grinding. or anybody's business. and, according to the box, it can do any job in 10 seconds or less. and again, not to be confused with... oh. nevermind.

i love my magic bullet.

thank you, monica, for playing. and thank you, (insert your name here if you played), as well. it touches my heart to see folks vie for prizes. (i wonder if i used the word 'vie' correctly. and i wonder why i've inserted all these parentheses in this post.)

giveaway 3

i have this friend. and she knits. so of course, she likes the bioré nose strips. i mean. knitting and ripping blackheads practically go hand in hand. with that. i present to you, my third ever giveaway.

i dub this giveaway "the kearsie special". because. that's her name. my friend. kearsie.

so. included in this giveaway is an amazing set of seven (100% cotton) face scrubbies (all knit by the lady herself) and a bioré six pack of (not regular) but ultra deep cleansing pore strips (with a bonus two extra strips! that i removed. for me. because they're a bonus. eh. i'm kidding. the box is sealed.)

to be entered in this giveaway, all you have to do is comment. anywhere on her blog. that's right. comment on a kearsie blog post and then comeback here and let me know on which post you commented. (once i verify that you've posted, i shall approve your entry.) aaand. you have to leave a safe way for me to contact you. simple.

you won't regret your visit. she's hilarious. and hot. she's got new jeans. new panties. and a new boil. yep. h-o-t.

and now for the fine print. it's more small print than fine. contest starts as soon as this is posted. it ends at 11:02pm on thursday, january 15, 2009 est. one entry per person. chances of winning depend on the number of entries. raise your chances of winning by not telling anyone. lower your chances by telling everyone you know. this contest is open to you - whether i know you or not. this is my third giveaway. if i have a positive response, i'll have more giveaways to bring you back. if i don't have a positive response, i'll still have more giveaways to bring you back. by entering this giveaway, you agree to abide by the rules i've stated or not stated. and i can change the rules whenever i please. it's a woman's perogative. and please note. the towel depicted is not included in the "kearsie special". it's my pretty pretty pink towel. that was slightly damp when i took the picture. and smelled of suave naturals daily clarifying shampoo. that, fittingly enough, contains deep cleansers.

stop

i spend way too much time on the computer. on the internet, actually. and i should slow it down. "everything in moderation" as i always say. since about 7pm today.

so i've another new year's resolution to add to my list. slow it down. which means. i can either stop the facebook or i can stop the blog.

i choose the blog. i mean. i choose to stop the blog. no more updating effective immedia

2009

i suppose the holidays are officially over.

around here, there was a touch of stress. mixed in with a pinch of anxiety. all combined with travel lag, meltdowns, noise, and noise. oh. and noise.

even so, i managed to enjoy my christmas and new year's. and i must admit. i'm a wee bit "bumm"ed they're over.

but. i'm sure all will be fine in 2009. cheers. and bottoms up. (sorry. i couldn't resist.)
