Samer’s commute got kind of interesting the other day.
Wicker Monkey of the Month Club
Do nothing and each month a new monkey will be delivered right to your door.
I’ve been amassing these to share with my brother.
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
I have to keep them all because I can’t send any to him, we don’t know where he is or what he’s doing. Husband told me – and I choose to believe this – that he’s in charge of a special Top Secret* genetic engineering project that’s creating dinosaur super-soldiers, probably right over there in the basement of the Pentagon.
*Top Secret until now, I guess
Now that's quality
The headlines in the Animal Watch section of the Washington Post continue to be my favorite part of the Local section. Today’s highlight: “Like a Bat Out of Alexandria.” What can I say? I don’t get out much and I’m easily amused, a dangerous combination.
Another great reason to go to the Dairy Godmother
We are seeking old pillowcases for one of our “pet” projects.
Waffle cones come packed between foam layers which used to be sent back to the manufacturer for reuse. About a year ago they stopped being able to do this due to shipping costs.It is very hard in this day and age to throw so much nice clean foam into the dumpster every week.
We discovered that they make very nice soft beds for pets when covered with two pillowcases,one on each end so they can’t get at the foam.The pillowcases are much easier to launder than thick towels which take alot of time and energy to dry.
We hope we can offer these beds to places where animals need to be comforted such as rehab or SPCA so that the foam and pillowcases can be used again instead of going to the landfill.
If you have old pillowcases to contribute you can put them in the box at the shop.If you would like some foam to make your own pet bed we will be happy to give you some in exchange for two pillowcases!
I was just about to clean out the linen closet. Gee, I guess we’re going to have to go for some frozen custard later, aren’t we?
Coldplay
I was going to post how much I loathe Coldplay, but once I started typing I realized I lack the energy necessary to express how deep my loathing for said musical act goes. If I did post about this subject, the post would have included references to Pat Sajak, rabid mid-sized mammals feeding on my viscera, and Lipton powdered iced tea.
Like I said, I just don’t have it in me today. Plus, I really need a shower.
