Woohooo what’s better than giving a kid a Highlights magazine to keep him quiet?? A DEAL on Highlights magazines!!! Hey moms and dads, check out these Highlights coupons at dropdowndeals. Sweet.

I used to read Highlights as a kid. My mom wouldn’t buy them for me, noooo. I wanted a subscription SO BAD. The only time I got to read them was when I went to the doctor. Which wasn’t very often because I was the epitome of good health. :D So I’d sit in the waiting room, devouring as many magazines as I could before I was called in. I think that may be how I learned to speed read, hmmmm….

I liked the Goofus and Gallant guys. Guess who I associated with more?

I’ll have you know I was more like Gallant!!! What were you thinking, huh??

Get ‘em while they’re hot, peeps.

P.S. OK OK That cartoon is NOT from a real Highlights magazine. But if I drew the cartoons, it’d probably be like that.

…. or Fun SChwung…. or Feng Schweing or whatever the heck that is.

YOU KNOW. The placement of stuff in a room to make everything “flow.” So your spine will tingle with Buddhists’s Delight when you walk into a room.

Oh wait, I looked it up. It’s Feng shui. OK OK. Got it.

Apparently, the Brits DON’T got it. Go to this photo and take a look. It’s OK, it’s not a bad photo. It’s a picture of Michelle Obama, PBO, and the Queen of England in a room. I’d post the photo here, but I’m afraid I’ll get sued for “copyright infringement” if I do. So you’ll have to click the link yourself and go see. I’ll wait for ya….

Whadaya think? BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

Er, uh, I mean– THAT’S TERRIBLE! HORRIBLE! Michelle has had some pretty weird fashion ‘dos, but this one takes the cake. I think everyone was perhaps more concerned about how to remove dark circles than plant placement, eh?

Those Brits– did they do that on purpose? It seems pretty obvious that such a gigantic plant would make the poor lady look like Medusa. You can read the little story here. It’s almost like they are snickering under their scones…..

I don’t get it.

Several days ago, I ordered something online.

I LOVE shopping online, by the way. No crowds of people sneezing and coughing their germs into my sterile space, no crazy traffic threatening my safety and raising my blood pressure, no outta-this-world sales tax that bankrolls the powerful NY special interests… nuttin. Online shopping is da BOMMB, I tell you! ANd the sky is the limit– you can buy car parts, heated mattress pads, beds, even CARS online! Very cool.

But the logic of the shipping companies elude me. I’ve been following one particular shipment. The item I purchased was from somewhere in New York State– Edgewood, NY, to be exact. Only about 480 miles from me. I could DRIVE out to Edgewood to pick up the package, and be back for dinner. But I’m still waiting for my package, 4, 5 days later.

The shipping company sent it to Colombus, Ohio.

HUH?

Look, I made a visual representation for those of us who went to public school and need some help with geography. Here:

The shipping company (who will remain unnamed because I don’t want to get sued for “slander” even though ALL I’m doing is taking note of some facts) took my little package out of state, over 1,000 miles away, and then back up again.

WHY don’t they just make a beeline directly to ME?!?!

OK OK I KNOW that the shipping company isn’t going to directly and personally run my little package to me straight from the store warehouse. But HOLY COW, 1,000 miles?! Come on!

Really, WHY did they do this? Did my package perhaps get accidentally rerouted out of the way? Mistakes happen, I can understand that, sure. But I estimate that 1/4 of all packages I order online go through these super-loopy shipping lanes.

What do you think?

Wooohooo this looks like fun! I’ll have to try it sometime! :D

Well, it will definitely come as NO surprise to you that it’s downright difficult to get a good camera these days. Oh, they are purty– all the bells and whistles and real fancy. And they even take nice pictures, too– for about a month. After that, the lens goes screwy, or the firmware tanks, or something. I have purchase half a dozen cameras in three years, and every single one has something wrong with it after a few months. :-p

Oh, all except my Nikon. It’s a DSLR. You know, I’ve had it for months and I still don’t know how to work all the features! Sheesh, I really need to to read the directions someday….

Anyway, the camera still takes nice photos, can you believe it?!?! AND the battery is a lithium-ion, similar to my canon batteries (batteries have come a long way, I’ll admit that!). It stays charged for like– FOREVER! I’m happy with it, gee.

So SEE?! I can talk about something nice here. SO there! Now I’m done! All accomplished! Back to being my crabby self. See ya.

;)

I am SO SO tempted to do this! Bwahahhaha!!! But if I do, my cat will move out of the house and never speak to me again…
