regretsy: you are magni-cifent!
5 Apr
I need funny stuff in my life like kids need naps. Laughing makes the world a much better place, and helps me get through stuff like bad hair days and dark circles. And while I really do try to stick to the “if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all” rule, I do openly laugh at unfortunate souls when necessary.
For example the other day, when my mama friend Patti and I heard about a terrible illness that could endanger lives in the Northwest United States. Sure, a normal response to tragedy would be, “how terrible,” or at least, “wow.” But no.
My reaction: “But, what would happen to the indie music scene if all those people died?”
Her response: “They would save themselves with flannel shirts.”
My reaction: “Oh, and the flannel shirt business would go under!”
Good Lord. The economy could be blown to smithereens at the fall of Portland!
So, you see, mean and funny go well together sometimes. Especially when a couple of tired moms get together and drink. And maybe after full-time mothering, your generosity meter runs out, and you need to laugh more than you need to be nice.
Regretsy gives me a reason to smile and feel superior on a daily basis. Go ahead. Laugh at the expense of others. They kind of asked for it when they attached monetary value to their “art.”
Don’t you just love Audry Hepdum?
I’m thinking high schools should have teens carry these babydolls around for their teen pregnancy prevention programs.
Oh, so vintage…
And you are fantactis!
And last, but not least…
Have a listen to the sweet sounds of “Love Train” by Varga.
Ok, well, I’m going to hell now. Or karma will kick my ass with misspellings or typos, or – oh shit, bad hair days and dark circles!
The Regretsy book is posted on MerchMama.
I love regretsy! One of my favorites was a sculpture of members of N.W.A. using tennis balls: http://www.regretsy.com/2010/01/20/nfw/
We need to get a visit to the Clermont on the calendar soon, fellow drinking mama…
Dang, that N.W.A. set is incredible! And, only $750?? What a deal!
I’m all for some Clermont action. Hit me up!
whoa, was that a bleeting sheep riding the love train with varga??
Mel, my guess is a goose. I’m not sure. But, I decided to jot down the lyrics of “love train” to get to know varga better. Sing along!
Candle in my window (HONK!)
Light coming down the tracks
Breaking thru the dark night (HONK!)
Thru a sea of black
Looks like a spark (HONK!)
Feels like a flame
Could be light coming
From the love train
Here it comes
I am all over the Varga!!! And the NWA set is “magnicifent” – Love that site almost as much as LameBook…almost.
Just checked out lamebook. So funny! Makes me feel less stupid about some of my fb statuses…
