preorder.

I am going to be putting in the order for the shirts next week so if you would like to be assured that you will get one, especially in the size you want, leave a comment or stalk me on Facebook and tell me how many shirts you want and what sizes. Otherwise, you'll be left to the fates. Just a reminder, they'll be $20, which includes shipping. Happy Almost-February!

Deadline to preorder is February 3rd!

not dead, just getting older.

Sometimes I complain that chivalry is dead. Cue boos and hisses from all the males out there who read this (grand total: 3). I understand that that whole feminism movement had something to do with it, sort of, but that doesn't mean you get to go all wussy on us girls. Every Monday and Wednesday night when I get off the train, I see an older gentleman waiting. A much shorter woman walks up to him. He gives her a kiss. He takes her bag. Her bag that is a backpack and looks like it's filled with many a-heavy thing. He never asks if he can hold it for her. She never asks if he will take it from her. He just does. That, my friends, is true chivalry. So yes, while us girls try to be independent and prove that we can do everything you men can do and want to have jobs and still want to have babies and try to do everything that is thought of even though it's a large plate to handle, we also would like for you to just take the reins for a little bit. Show us who's boss. We dare you. 


*I use the term "we" very loosely in this post, especially if you're one of those freaky feminists who think all men are womanizing pigs.

butter.

This one food item alone transforms the world of food. It makes over-easy eggs better. Homemade pancakes ever more delicious. And various kinds of bread suddenly gain purpose when generously spread with butter. It just can't be beat. 


This weekend I went to the super exciting area of Star Valley, Wyoming. Look it up. You'll totally be jealous. And rightfully so because the area is peaceful, wide open, and full of townspeople. If you are lucky enough to see any of them at the country store. There are serious amounts of snow up there in the winter time so make sure either you or your car knows how to get up steep hills covered in slushy snow. If you do happen to go there, make sure you go to the Elkhorn Family Restaurant in Afton. It is most delicious, and right now they're having a 40% off special. Seriously, folks...$5 for a bacon cheeseburger, with a toasted bun! $.40 for fries. $1.50 for a salad that includes delicious homemade ranch. After tasting that ranch, I can only hope that something like it will come into my life and have the same heavenly altering effect. I won't set up any big or unrealistic expectations or anything, though. 


Fantastic news: I found some magic fairy dust that will help me with my shirts! That means that within the next couple of weeks you could be wearing your very own "The Lion" shirt that was designed by yours truly. If you want a complimentary carrot to go with your Carrot Top, please specify in your order. Just don't be too grossed out when it actually arrives.

private no more.

With my ever-changing schedule, I now ride a train to school. A train that has its path right along hundreds of backyards. As I understand it, a backyard is the place for you to decorate, landscape, have fun, and keep others out (if that is your wish). These backyards that line the train's route can't do the last item, however. No matter how high or solid those fences are, I can still see right over them into your claim of the earth. And from what I see, I know a lot about you. You might have children...in that case you most likely have a swing set, trampoline, or various other outdoor toys littering the lawn. You might be into automobiles...that means you probably have one to three vehicles that are sitting in your backyard covered by tarps because it's winter and even though you may not have worked on them in summer, you sure as heck ain't workin' on them in the winter. If you like repetitive activities, half of your lawn is made into a garden because mowing the grass once a week isn't enough for you. Nope, you also need to pull weeds. But I do envy you because you have nice fresh veggies, and let's face it, who doesn't like those? I'm not the weed-pulling kind of gal, though. If you like pretty things, every inch of your backyard was probably touched by a landscaper so that it could look just right. No matter who you are, if your backyard is along the same path of the train, I'm watching you. And your backyard. 


In case you're interested, here's a song that I stumbled upon and can't get out of my head. If it doesn't make you want to don a Spanish outfit and dance with a smokin' hot member of the opposite sex, I can't help you.

late night tv.

Last night, my family and I stayed up watching Ghost Adventures. I unfortunately have a stupidly logical brain and try to find explainable reasons for the paranormal activity that the guys on the show are so eagerly seeking. That being said, I also get scared easily. So easily that when I was little I would sit on the stairs and wait for my brother to come out from behind the corner instead of risking getting scared. Hey, prevention is key. Last night must have been a marathon or something because these shows just kept coming on...And I just kept watching them. The part that scares me the most isn't watching them while they're alone, at night, and provoking spirits. No, no. The part that scares me the most is learning about the stories of the deceased people and hearing other people's accounts of paranormal activity. What also freaks me out beyond belief is imagining myself in their shoes. You couldn't pay me enough to spend the night in a haunted house. No amount of money would inspire me to be alone in an attic where someone hung themselves. You also couldn't give me enough stuff to want to provoke an angry spirit. Seriously, there is some weird glutton-for-punishment thinking going on in their brains.

only one word.

I know there is at least one person that you can think of that, well, doesn't get your highest of praise. They're not nice, they think it's funny to make other people look bad, they think they are super cool, but they really aren't, etc, etc. What do you say to these people? Many choice, four-letter words, I'm sure. But what if those words have been used on them so many times that they have lost their punch? I have another word for them. And it just so happens to have four letters. Don't get too excited yet......Here, I found a song (surprise, surprise) that captures what I would like to say to all of those _____ people, and if you ever want to find out what the word is, you'll listen to the song. 


Here's to having good, nice people in your life.
