Joy for Monday! From a remote location...
THIS is how much I care. I'm running a meetings, and yet - joy for you! I know. I'm a giver.
Go here. You will enjoy it. I'm TOTALLY in love with this an dthese people. It is totally safe for work. You're gonna have to trust me. Put all of your scary trust issues aside - as if you read this blog at all, I'm confident that you are all broken and twisty on the inside, despite any candy coated verneer you have developed after all of these years. So. Just go there. You wil thank me.
If you are still a TOTAL chicken...here's a picture. Yeah - you can have some joy too, but I'm secretly judging your validity as a person on this side of the interwebs.
from cute overload...

Joy for Monday! It will warm the cockles of your cold cold heart.!
BABY DEER! Awwwwwwwwwwwwww.
That is all. Enjoy your day.
Chicagoversary!
So - as of this weekend, Friday to be exact, I have lived in Chicago for three years. Here are the top ten things that I have learned.
1.) If you don't care about baseball -the Chicago Cubs are a pain in the ass.
2.) You cannot spend too much money on a really good pair of shoes, or a really warm coat.
3.) There are places in the world (Chicago) where strangers think that if they touch you, you will be comforted and calmed by it. The people that do this must be tolerated, if secretly loathed and judged.
4.) It is possible to be too polite.
5.) When you don't drive on the highway for a long time, you lose your beltway-drivin' edge.
6.) There is something called a cheese curd. It is nasty and loved by many of the midwestern folk.
7.) There is nothing that cannot be fried.
8.) People that say what they mean, and mean what they say, are terribly underrated.
9.) If people tell you you speak too fast when you live on the east coast - people in the midwest don't have a chance at understanding any word that comes out of your mouth.
10.) The Chicago-style hot dog is a criminal act perpetrated by bored midwesterners with too many condiments on hand.
Now- am I happier than when I lived in DC? I don't know. That's a question for the ages, but I'm certainly having more fun, and I definately love Chicago. So all-in-all - good decision to move. Especially since, now that the cubs blew it, I no longer have to make small talk about the series. Which I consider quite a blessing.

Joy. For. MONDAAAAAAY!
Hi All - for the three of you that read my blog - wow am I sorry for being such a slacker. I was not okay, and then I was swamped, and then I was tired, and now I'm great and I'm back!
SO! here - for you - are two of the things I love the most (cake and muppets!) combined into one.

The perils of being historically notable...
Dear God. Please never let me be important enough that this would ever happen my undergarments. Thank you for not making me Queen of England. And PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE have Santa bring me a pony.
Amen.
PS - I want one of these too!
LONDON (AP) - Her majesty would not be amused. A pair of Queen Victoria's bloomers, with a 50-inch waist, were snapped up for $9,000 by a Canadian buyer at a central England auction Wednesday.
Auctioneer Charles Hanson said Queen Victoria's underpants belonged to "a very big lady of quite small stature with a very wide girth." She was said to be 5 feet tall.
The handmade knickers -- which date back to the 1890s -- bear the monogram -- VR -- for Victoria Regina. They are open-crotch style, with separate legs joined by a drawstring at the waist, a popular style in the late Victorian era.
The royal drawers belonged to a family in western England whose ancestor was a lady-in-waiting for the queen.
"These pants, considering their provenance and pedigree, are very exciting," Hanson said. "They are monogrammed and crested and we know that they are hers."
Also up for auction was Queen Victoria's chemise, with a 66-inch bust, sold for $8,000. Her nightgown sold for $11,000.
Amen.

A wise man once said...
Even if you have won the hot dog eating contest, you have still lost.
Apparently there is at least a bit of wisdom in Texas.
