Stupid Cupid Slideshow...

Grace's amazing hands...

This is Grace Schmidhauser and she has divalicious written all over her! She performed at our Stupid Cupid event and stopped by our office beforehand to give us an impressive sample of her musical stylings. She sings, plays guitar, said her favorite band is Guns & Roses, and she's 9 years old. Totally badass. I really want to write songs for her!

Yo Chely, it's your Birfday...

I took Ms. Michelle Lopez out to lunch for her Bday! Chely has enviable skin & hair. I'm a huge fan. You probably wouldn't believe the milestone year she just reached, she looks so good!

Fat Twosday...

Oh man, this blog has been neglected lately. But luckily it's National Flash Your Boobies Day, so we had to leave the office earlier than normal tonight. We came home and I made some dinner for me & my baby!

Vegan field roast, garlic red-skinned mashed potatoes, and a salad with yummy little yellow tomatoes:

Truluck's be a lady tonight...

I went to Truluck's for the first time the other night, with Carl & Diego! We do some work for them every month and they kindly sent us a $100 gift card awhile back. When we arrived, one of the managers came up and said "are you THE Carl Miner?", which made me heehee. :)

All three of us dined delightfully on a three-course meal (veg for us, of course). Then when the bill came, the waitress said they'd taken "very good care of us", and they comped the whole shebang! Pure class, I tell ya.

Here's Diego after consuming an unnaturally large amount of food:

Fox 7 Promo...

Laundry Can Wait...

Ethan Diehl just finished this "almost life-sized" painting of me! Well my rumpus, to be more specific. ;) He invited us over this afternoon to check out the finished product in person. He's planning on shipping it to the Hespe Gallery in California. It's a bootiful day in the neighborhood...

Huge douchebag leaves a message...

Pretty in Pink...

I've been trying to figure out what the heck I'm wearing to our big Valentine's Day Event, but then we drove by a vintage store today and I saw this dress in the window:
























I fell in love with it! Apparently it's a large child size, but that's never stopped me before. The brand is called RubyPearl, made by a lady here in Austin. She has an Etsy store and she makes all of her dresses out of vintage materials. If I had a little girl, I would dress her in RubyPearl dresses every day, have tea parties, and frolic about aimlessly!

The 2008 Darwin Awards...

Here are the glorious top 10 winners:


1. When his 38-caliber revolver failed to fire at his intended victim
during a hold-up in Long Beach , California , would-be robber James
Elliot did something that can only inspire wonder. He peered down the
barrel and tried the trigger again.
This time it worked. And now, the honorable mentions:


2. The chef at a hotel in Switzerland lost a finger in a meat- cutting
machine and, after a little shopping around, submitted a claim to his
insurance company. The company expecting negligence sent out one of its
men to have a look for himself.
He tried the machine and he also lost a finger. The chef's claim was
approved.


3. A man who shoveled snow for an hour to clear a space for his car
during a blizzard in Chicago returned with his vehicle to find a woman
had taken the space. Understandably, he shot her.


4. After stopping for drinks at an illegal bar, a Zimbabwean bus driver
found that the 20 mental patients he was supposed to be transporting
from Sarare to Bulawayo had escaped. Not wanting to admit his
incompetence, the driver went to a nearby bus stop and offered everyone
waiting there a free ride. He then delivered the passengers to the
mental hospital, telling the staff that the patients were very excitable
and prone to bizarre fantasies. The deception wasn't discovered for 3
days.


5. An American teenager was in the hospital recovering from serious head
wounds received from an oncoming train. When asked how he received the
injuries, the lad told police that he was simply trying to see how close
he could get his head to a moving train before he was hit.


6. A man walked into a Louisiana Circle-K, put a $20 bill on the
counter, and asked for change. When the clerk opened the cash drawer,
the man pulled a gun and asked for all the cash in the register, which
the clerk promptly provided. The man took the cash from the clerk and
fled, leaving the $20 bill on the counter. The total amount of cash he
got from the drawer... $15. [If someone points a gun at you and gives
you money, is a crime committed?]


7. Seems an Arkansas guy wanted some beer pretty badly. He decided that
he'd just throw a cinder block through a liquor store window, grab some
booze, and run. So he lifted the cinder block and heaved it over his
head at the window. The cinder block bounced back and hit the would-be
thief in the head, knocking him unconscious. The liquor store window was
made of Plexiglas. The whole event was caught on videotape.


8. As a female shopper exited a New York convenience store, a man
grabbed her purse and ran. The clerk called 911 immediately, and the
woman was able to give them a detailed description of the snatcher.
Within minutes, the police apprehended the snatcher. They put him in the
car and drove back to the store. The thief was then taken out of the car
and told to stand there for a positive ID. To which he replied, 'Yes,
officer, that's her. that's the lady I stole the purse from.'


9. The Ann Arbour News crime column reported that a man walked into a
Burger King in Ypsilanti , Michigan , at 5 A.M., flashed a gun, and
demanded cash. The clerk turned him down because he said he couldn't
open the cash register without a food order. When the man ordered onion
rings, the clerk said they weren't available for breakfast. The man,
frustrated, walked away. [*A 5-STAR STUPIDITY AWARD WINNER]


10. When a man attempted to siphon gasoline from a motor home parked on
Seattle street , he got much more than he bargained for. Police arrived
at the scene to find a very sick man curled up next to a motor home near
spilled sewage. A police spokesman said that the man admitted to trying
to steal gasoline and plugged his siphon hose into the motor home's
sewage tank by mistake. The o wner of the vehicle declined to press
charges saying that it was the best laugh he'd ever had.

Getting some face time...

Carl & I both just started Facebook pages. And the madness continues...

Textual Healing...

A couple of nights ago, I got a text message from someone I don't know. I was going to respond immediately and let them know what was up, but the little devil on my shoulder (named Carl) encouraged me to play along. Here's the transcript:

THEM: let's meet up at sherlock's for a drink!
ME: i'll be there, but i'm not wearing any panties.
THEM: that's ok.
ME: what r u wearing?
THEM: nothing.
ME: mmm my fave! what should we do after drinks?
THEM: come on over and have some fun.
ME: strip poker or naked twister?
THEM: are you coming?
ME: oh you'll know when i cum.
ME: i gotta come clean...i have no idea who this is!
THEM: you're a bad one that's for sure.
