In my world, the books would be nothing but pictures.

I was already considering being the Queen of Hearts for Halloween and Stephanie's open call for Alice in Wonderland characters confirmed it. My only problem is there are 2 costumes I can't decide between, so I'm letting you vote. Tell me which one I should wear. :) The first one is cheaper, but I think the 2nd one looks more like the Queen of Hearts in the Disney movie. Well, the colors anyway. That queen is quite fat, so I don't really want to look a lot like her. :)

An actual conversation between the hubster and I:

B: If we get another cat, can we name him "The Cat Formerly Known as Prince"?
Z: Well . . . . when we want to be quick, can we just call him Prince?
B: No, we have to call him (makes hand gestures to show the symbol that will actually be the cat's new name).
Z: Ok. When we get another dog, can we name him "The Edge".
B: YES!! Wait, is that a boy or a girl?
Z: Ok, ok . . . Bono?
B: No, I like "The Edge" better.
Z: Let's get a girl dog and name her JT.
B: Like Justin Timberlake?
Z: Yeah, I saw him on Oprah today. He rocks out on the piano. He was playing "What Goes Around Comes Around" and Oprah was wailing along.
B: If it was a girl, it would have to be Justine Timberlake.

I think he may have a case.

I'm just not sure who he expects to end up paying.

What. The. Fack.?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. Eyes I now have to claw out of my head.

Forgive me Father, for I have BOTB

It's confession time. For you non knottie/ nestie types, BOTB stands for . . . *gulp* . . .coughBabiesontheBraincough. That doesn't mean we're planning on trying any time soon (like, not in the next 8 months, at least) and don't think that we'll tell you when we are trying because that is just icky.

But, my internet time has been so boring lately, what with no wedding to plan. I mean, it's just useless to look at photographers/ dresses/ flowers/ centerpieces when you know that 1) you'll never need them again (because seriously- if I ever have to do the marriage thing again, we're going to the courthouse. No, that is a total lie- I would have a big "to-do" for a wedding even if I got married in Elizabeth Taylor proportions. And all of you would buy me a present and come to the wedding and LIKE IT, dammit) or 2) you won't be able to force any of your brilliant ideas onto your friends, because for some reason, they INSIST on planning their own weddings with ideas that they like. Jerks.

So, I digress. I needed something new to look at on the net and since I am uber-cool and currently live with my husband, my cat, my dog, and my PARENTS (try not to be jealous), it just makes me sad to look at homes/ garden stuff/ decor. Also, Zach said I am not allowed to look at pet sites any more. What a meanie. Anywho . . . so, to fulfill my internet time I either needed to develop a porn addiction or a baby addiction. And babies are so much cuter. :)

My main question is, would it be sick to buy this now even though my future children are not even a twinkle in my eye?


I originally liked this:

But the peacock is new. No, you may not ask how I know that.

There should be a test

I am watching Bridezillas and one of the girl's bridesmaids has a daughter named . . . Miracle. Oh my god. Seriously. You should have to take some sort of test before you are allowed to procreate. One of the test questions should be to list all possible names you would consider naming any offspring you may be lucky enough to figure out how to create (since I'm assuming that if you would name your child Miracle that you're working with fewer brain cells than the rest of us). If you list Miracle, Nevaeh (spell it backwards), anything with a title (Sir, Lady, etc) punctuation or more than one capital letter in it , or any mispelled names (Destanee, Alivia, Jennipher, Izzabelluh or Pacience) then your reproductive organs will be immediately confiscated for the greater good of humanity.
