The Blob IS REAL!!

Really, truly, and honestly. The Blob DOES exist!!! If you are a goose you are in deep trouble because it seems to eat everything but the bones and feathers!! The blob even has hair...

The Blob Story




I think a whale just had some bad convenient store burritos and got diarrhea...

Rockin' the WHAT?

I listen to a lot of different music. I was in a country music mood so I clicked the preset to the local station I like in the car. Top 40 was just coming on. COOL!! I could hear all the hits!! The #40 song just blew me away, and not in a good way. Apparently a lot of people like this song. I think it is rude and demeaning. It is about an overweight chic dancing. Now I am not super skinny in any way. I have a few extra layers of fat on me. I also like to hit a local club every so often and go dancing. If you don't like to watch my fat jiggle DON'T WATCH!!

HOWEVER, if anyone EVER says I have a beer gut they will learn QUICKLY that dynamite does indeed come in small packages (I am barely 5 feet tall)

Lost Art


This weekend I took some time for myself. I sewed a skirt for ME. I did have to buy the material and the zipper. (I'm not THAT good to make the fabric myself.. geesh... How crazy do you think I am?!).

It took about 4 hours. Of course I could've gone to the mall and scoured the sales rack and bought a skirt within that time frame, maybe even cheaper than what I paid for the fabric and notions (notions are what sewers call thread, zippers, buttons, etc...).

I created a piece of art to wear!

(As you view my new skirt, please meet Pinny. She is my clone, as my 9 year old son calls her.)

SO next time you pick something up at the store and you think to yourself, "Oh wow!! That is SO totally me"... Remember THIS!! WRONG!! IT was MASS produced so that others, not just YOU would want to wear it.

Anyone can create art to wear. AND when you create your own wardrobe, you will never walk past someone wearing the exact same outfit again ;)
