Atlantic Starr- “Always”
Play this at my funeral!
Not just the funeral. This should be your theme song. You enter the room and the music starts swelling “and weeeeeeee both knooooooow, that our loooooooove will groooooooow!”
alone no more
This reminds me of my idea to make pillows shaped like ladies’ lower bodies.
Shane - I’ll bust out the sewing machine if you let me share the profits.
I actually think one of these pillows would be comfortable. I KNOW THAT I AM WEIRD. But a real arm under my head is too firm, a feather pillow version would be just right.

Business socks! For all of your business foot-covering needs.
You know when I’m down to my socks, it’s time for business… it’s business time (that’s why they’re called business socks - ooh!)
Cute idea!
Mia! Peg people keychains!
I have thought about adding eyehooks to my peg people, so they could be necklaces or keychains, etc. but I’m afraid that the hook will fall out and people will get upset. Too paranoid?
So last night Randy’s perusing Craigslist because that’s his primary hobby, right, and he stumbles across this cast iron doll head mold that he HAS TO HAVE. Seriously. Can’t STFU about the doll head mold. So I email the guy and I’m all, “Hey, you still have the creepy as fuck doll head mold? Because my husband apparently can’t live without it now so I want to thank you for that, for fucking up my life and one room of my house, and I also want to maybe talk price a little bit.”
So he emails me back and we get down to the gritty and I agree to pay him $150 for one doll head mold because a) it’s rare that Randy expresses an interest in something tangible that I can actually afford, and b) I got him the extremely banal gift of tinted car windows for Christmas except I never actually got the windows tinted and now it’s February.
But! Now the goddamn doll head guy has disappeared. I’m sitting around with $150 cash money so I can go pick this thing up from what I’m assuming is the other side of the STATE, obviously, because that’s how Craigslist WORKS- you never contact anyone on Craigslist only to come to the happy realization that the guy lives across the street, no, you always have to take a day off work and pack a goddamn COOLER to go pick up whatever it is you think you need- and the guy hasn’t called me back!
I forget my point.
Erin makes me laugh like I’m drunk.
Erin is the perfect spouse. And I completely sympathize with Randy’s unbelievable need for a cast iron doll head.
Cat: Ruckus
Owner: giddygirlie
Appearance: B
Ruckus was a street rescue and when he first became part of our family, he was emaciated and had several broken bones and some other injuries. After being nursed back to health (and 11 years later) he now weighs something close to 16 lbs — he’s been eating better and in the past year has lost nearly 4 lbs!
He has beautiful green eyes and lovely white eyeliner that give him the ability to transform immediately from Grumpy Face to Sweetest Kitty of the World face. His nose is nearly fully ‘red’ now, after starting out black (common in this type of domestic cat).
Sociability: A
There are two sides of Ruckus. The usual “”EVERYBODY MUST LOVE ME!!”” side, where he demands attention from everyone. He is leash-trained and walks around the neighborhood with us for exercise and nothing pleases him more than people stopping to gawk at the cat-on-a-leash and give him attention. He takes very well to strangers who come in the house as well and usually will walk up and want acknowledgment.
The other side of him is Old Man Ruckus where he gets super frustrated with the kitty (almost 2 years old) and wants to growl and grumble every time the kitty comes near. He’ll grouch and whine and carry on for about 10 minutes before he exhausts himself and kitty gets a small victory (usually getting to sit next to him in his favorite rocking chair).
Usefulness: D
He used to be a great bug hunter, which was handy because my husband keeps frogs and toads in a terrarium and they require live crickets for food. Crickets are always escaping and Ruckus used to be in charge of exterminating them. Now, he’ll often hunt one but then leave it’s carcass (as opposed to eating it). Other than that, he’s not useful at all.
Huggability: A
He looooooves being held and will frequently DEMAND that you pick him up. He likes to sleep on the bed with us and is generally very mild tempered and perfect around kids (human kids - the kitty is the bane of his existence) and is happy to be squeezed and hugged and petted and fitted for costumes. No one believes me that he likes to wear costumes, but it’s true! It ties in with his attention-getting strategies… which worked out perfect when he had to wear one of those cones after surgery. He was allowed to have the Tyvek type (sorta paper/cloth like) and he had to wear it for 10 days and never ONCE tried to take it off. Why? It was a costume! And everyone at the vet (daily check-ups) would fuss over how handsome he looked and what a good boy he was. He loved it!
Overall Grade: B+
Hey! It’s Ruckus!! :D
