On Owls and Caterpillars
Don't look at me like that. |
So, it turns out, I now dig owl collectibles. There I was thinking to myself, "Wow, that's cute. Oooh, I like those bookends. Lenox makes owl figurines? How pretty. Hmmm, I want that."
WTF, right? Has that ever happened to you? You're shopping and all of a sudden your own tastes surprise the hell out of you? It actually happens to me a lot; I'm about to make fun of something and then I realize that deep down, I think it's kind of neat.
Oddly enough, none of my Facebook friends were overly-surprised by my sudden owl fixation. I guess they're just used to me being... uhh... let's go with quirky. Then an old friend reminded me of something I wrote on a group website many years ago, back when the OOBH was just a twinkle in my eye. Since today's post is just a big old pile of steaming randomness, I'll tell you about the worst gift I've ever given someone.
When I first started my crap job and didn't know better, my crazy cat lady coworker convinced me that we should get our boss a birthday gift and do the whole forced-fun office cake party thing. Now, let it be known that I detest the office cake party, especially since I had only been here for a few months but had already determined that the majority of my coworkers were douchebags. However, since I like my boss and was new to the scene, I went along with it.
I gave Crazy my $10 and half-listened as she detailed some "adorable" golf-related item that she thought he'd just love to have in his office.
The day of the cake party arrived and we dragged everyone into the conference room for a half-hearted round of the birthday song and some store-bought cake. Then, with a flourish and a great deal of pomp & circumstance, Crazy unveiled the birthday gift that "we" had so lovingly picked out for him:
Ta-DAAAAAAA! |
And so it was that I unwittingly gave a 55-year old man a 12" tall statue of a caterpillar playing golf.
I was mortified. He stammered and exclaimed, "Oh! Well, look at that." Everyone in the office stifled giggles and suddenly heard their phones ringing down the hall. Crazy beamed proudly. I wanted to melt into the carpet and disappear.
That was seven years ago and the caterpillar still stands on a filing cabinet in his office. Occasionally he clears out his knick-knacks (all sports-related memorabilia, some of it valuable), but I know he feels that he must display the caterpillar until the end of time because we, his adoring employees, gave it to him.
From then on out I made sure that I always take the day off on my birthday, and oddly-enough, so does my boss.
Of course, this post begs the question:
What's the worst gift you've ever gotten and had to pretend to like?

Today kinda sucks, so let's have a laugh.
I'm having a rather shiteous day, but I'm doing my best to pull myself out of it*. It's a gorgeous day out and I woke up in such high spirits, but one thing lead to another and now, yadda yadda yadda, life sucks.
No, no, that's being melodramatic. It's not that bad. All of the important things are still okay in Bevland, but I did have to deal with the following irritants all before noon today:
* I weighed myself this morning for the first time in months. Motherfucker! That scale simply must be broken.
* The daycare charged us $20 because J got stuck in construction traffic and was exactly 2 minutes late to pick up the kid last week. Two minutes = $20. I feel like for that price we should at least get a handjob out of it or something.
* The internet was down at work when I got in. I'll bet you didn't know that in addition to being my office's chief ass-wiper, bad smell-hunter, and complaint-listener, I'm also the closest thing to an I.T. person that we have. Turns out it was nothing that 3 hours of my time and a $287 switch couldn't fix. But, at least I had the joy of listening to all of my a-hole coworkers bitch and moan about their lost productivity while I figured out what was wrong, so that made it all very satisfying. /sarcasm
Screw you guys! I'm going home. |
ANYWHO. Enough of me kvetching! These problems are teeny tiny compared to others, so let's watch something funny and have a larf, shall we? Yesterday the family and I took a little road trip over to the seacoast. On the way there, the kids were clamoring for Happy Meals and we were hoping to have 5 minutes in which they'd stop talking for a goddamn second so we could hear ourselves think, so we stopped at McD's. They each got a Batman toy, which seemed harmless enough until we examined it closely. Then we noticed something... not quite kid-friendly about Batman. Take a look:
Uuummm, yeah. Does it look to anyone else like Batman is... um... well. YOU KNOW.
Oh, look who I'm asking. Of course you see it too! That's why we get along so well! :-p
There. I feel more cheerful already, though probably not as cheerful as Batman feels right now. Hope you're all surviving your Monday!
*That's what HE said.

Alcohol increases the risk of breast cancer
According to researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston consume 5 to 15 grams of Alcohol day in the long run would not get fat. A search must be handled with tongs, to ignore risks relative to the abuse of alcohol. So we asked the opinions of experts. Dr. Andrea Ghiselli researcher of (National Research Institute Food and Nutrition) has responded sharply: “Even smoking a pack of cigarettes a day do you tell lose weight, but die of cancer lungs. Must differentiate health from aesthetics. Slimming, weight manage should not be the vital aim, but merely the intends to live longer and better, Healthy“.

Not Soap, Radio recently came out with a new collection
Twirl by Kate Spade New York
Through all its ups and downs, I have to admire Kate Spade for maintaining an unwavering air of sheer giddy femininity. Think colored tights and sparkly heels, festive fĂȘtes and tables for two. The same ideals of celebration are beautifully wrapped up in the brand's new signature scent--its first major fragrance launch since 2002. As the press notes describe, this scent, created by Givaudan, is a true joie de vivre; floral lovers will love the feeling of being transported to a garden in bloom following a light mist--infused with a twist of fresh fruit. Among the notes are: pink watermelon, blackberry red currant, heart of orange blossom, star jasmine, tiare flower, sweet magnolia, drying down to musk and French macaroon. Yum!
The collection, launching nationwide in September, will include a 3.4 oz. eau de parfum, a 0.24 oz. roller ball, body cream, lotion and shower gel, ranging in price from $35 to $80
