Crabby Blogging Lady

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…

I was lamenting in my sweet, feminine, suggestive way that we had no chocolate in the house recently. Now I will tell you that I am no “chocoholic” like the other crazy women. I don’t understand why some women just go ga-ga for the stuff. Hey, chocolate is great, but SHEESH I wouldn’t go so far as to build a whole BLOG around it, ot write (or read) a whole book about it! So while I like chocolate a lot, I’m not a foaming-at-the-mouth-PMS-infested-crazy-rabid chocolate lover.

But GOSH DARN I wanted some that night. I howled in protest that there was not a speck of chocolate to be found in the house. Well, not counting the chocolate-flavored chapstick one of the kids wears. I didn’t want to get wax between my teeth.

Well, lookie what Mr. Crabby got for me the next day. He was going to go out looking for hudson valley lighting, and see what he did!

I tell you– married life is special. What a swell guy.

(It was gobbled up in half a day).

(Well, the kids ate MOST of it!)

:(

I love I Can Has Cheezeburger. I like to make captions from time to time, but they never get on the BIG page.

:( :(

Are these not funny? Are these not humorous????

WHAT do you have to DO to get on the FRONT page?!??! I’ve seen some of the other LOL Cats, and they were NOT funny, not at ALL!

Wah wah! Yes, I’m whining.

I should just ditch the attempts to be a LOL Cats star. I should stick to the milder exploits of surfing for sports and leisure gifts at Personal Creations or something.

*sigh*

Well, this will cheer me up. Nothing like laughing over a kid who does something REALLY stupid, and then someone making a “FAIL” video about it.

Wow! I can’t say it is very often that the Crabby Blogging Lady gives her thumbs-up approval upon spending money– especially for something as nice as Christmas cards!– but I received a sampling of cards from Pear Tree Greetings… and am stunned! Just look at these cards!

These are super-quality, heavy 100-pound matte card stock cards. These are NOT your flimsy Dollar Store cards! The amazing thing about them is that they are so affordable! I adore the “Icons of Joy” card. Very unique! And guess what, they are CHEAP! Cheap enough to make the Crabby Blogging Lady happy. Guess how much those Joy cards are. Go on, guess. You’d figure they’d be, what, $5 a card, like they are in the retail stores, right?

Try $1.25 EACH!!!!!! See what I mean? Pear Tree Greetings has lots of designs and lots of cards for every occasion. The Christmas Party Invitations are especially creative.

And look at this one– this is a beautiful card.

Doesn’t that make yer eyes all misty w’ tears? Sweet, it is.

Seriously, the cards are nice enough. But cards this beautiful at such low prices? Some are even under $1. It’s really, really nice. Of course, Pear Tree has loads of stuff for the upcoming holidays, but they also have cards for every occasion: baby announcements, mommy cards, graduation cards, cards that are 100% post-consumer recycled, etc etc. It’s a nice experience to browse through the collections. All are very pretty. And the prices– truly amazing!

So I guess it’s true: you really CAN find high quality stuff for low prices. Good to know.

P.S. In case you didn’t know, Pear Tree Greetings sent me these beautiful cards for free to try out for myself, for this review. You’d better believe it when I say all the opinions are MINE. These are gorgeous cards. And my opinion is that if you pass up such a good opportunity for such lovely cards, you are crazy!

Hahaha! What will those cheeseburger loving cats come up with next? Found a new FAIL website: M Thru F. It’s especially for the cubicle worker, but I found many of the office pranks funny (and some nauseating, to be honest). I liked this one:

In case you cannot tell, all those cups have water in them! 8-O

Some of the photos are lewd. I don’t like those. I don’t see why some people think lewdness is funny. So I skip over those, and enjoy the ones of offices filled with packing peanuts! Hoh hoh! I’ll bet the prankster had to double-check his social security disability benefits before pulling that one! They always take photos of the prank but never of the reaction of the prank-ee. I wonder what happened next? A little roundhouse kick or two? hahaha

Life is really busy right now. I don’t have much time for leisure. I realize my blog posts have been infrequent and rather dull. I’m using up all my creativity to work on the homestead before the snow flies. It consumes a good deal of my energy. Here’s hoping I’ll be back to blogging in the near future…

Oh my word, I love this guy– Sheriff Joe of Arizona. Have you heard about this guy? His latest mind-blowing move is to force prisoners to pedal on bikes if they want to watch TV. Now that’s what prisoners are for, I tell ya! Make ‘em pedal, Joe, for electricity for the whole state! He is so totally cool, so industrious, and overflowing with common sense.
:smarty:
And then I thought, Can this guy possibly be from Arizona?! No way!

And guess what– he’s not! That explains everything! He’s from Massachusetts! Staid, industrious, practical Massachusetts! No wonder he’s so good.

PHOENIX — Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is implementing a new inmate program at Tent City Jail called “Pedal Vision.”

The program uses inmate-powered cycles to generate electricity for televisions.

Reports say Arpaio’s recent visit to Tent City inspired the idea, when he saw that many of the inmates were overweight.

The stationary bikes are customized so that as an inmate pedals, a connected television is powered once the cycle generates 12 volts of electricity.

One hour of pedaling equals one hour of television viewing for the inmates, according to Arpaio.

Arpaio said the inmates will only be able to watch television in the television room if they choose to pedal.

Sheriff Joe is ADORED by people. He’s re-elected by wide margins every year, cuz he’s so tough on crime. He’s not going to take the crap from pinko-commie-wacked out progressives, no way! If a jerk murders somebody, they need to pay the penalty, not “get off” because their mother’s father’s aunt’s sister took away their lollipops when they were a child.

Sheriff Joe has said this about illegal immigration:

“My message is clear: if you come here and I catch you, you’re going straight to jail…. I’m not going to turn these people over to federal authorities so they can have a free ride back to Mexico. I’ll give them a free ride to my jail.”

:Jawdrop: isn’t he simply dreamy?!
Apparently the United States Department of Justice (full of pinko-commie-wacko progressives) didn’t like his statement, and said he was “unfairly” targeting “Hispanics and Spanish-speaking people.” :blink: Well, DUH YEAH, I don’t see any French or Icelandians sneaking across our borders!! Idjits.

Joe stands up against Big Sister (Janet Napolitano), he was responsible for creating online flash cards/mugshots for deadbeat parents to shame them, he’s after the corrupt cops and judges who have their hands in the drug trade, he’s made prisoners wear pink underwear so they wouldn’t steal the underwear after their release, he introduced pink handcuffs, and now he’s making prisoners pedal for TV!

I LOVE JOE!

Joe, if they ever get tired of you in Arizona, come to New York State! The crooks in government here will keep you busy for decades! Bust ‘em all, Joe!
