As Big As Your Head

This goes out to Murph - the biggest pork rind I ever did see, spotted in La Paz. A street-eats-why-not? Bet you can't eat just one......

this little gnome...

will be taking a little break. 

off to the sunshine (i hope) to warm up a bit. 

happy holidays, y'all! 

festive!

a little snap of a holly-esque bush, still covered in snow. 

there is no reasoning with a 2 year old

overheard at breakfast: 

"come on, lucy. have some pancake. you can't just eat butter." 

oh, amazon

you are getting like facebook now, insulting me with your recommendations. 

i am not interested in microwave pork rinds. and certainly not an 18 pack. 

ew! 

speaking of amazon...

i was checking on the status of some of my orders to make sure they arrived, when i noticed that you can review your past orders. 

i found ones from 1999. and apparently, i purchased not one, but two snoopy snow cone machines that year. 

one of them went to someone that i now have no idea who it is. am i getting that old?!

OPP, take 6

Not surprisingly, all she could think was, "it's HUGE!" 

quick question

who is purchasing used M&M's - peanut or otherwise?!

how about "me time"?

or, "engagement"? 

love this

if only this was how things worked. yum. 

city livin'

3 little snowmen on the sidewalks of new york. 

does anybody need these anymore?

there seemed to be a lot of page-day-calendars at barnes & noble. who is buying them? 

forget the staycation...

it's the paycation!

looks like payment is in WWF tchotchkes, but hey. 

agreed.

random bizarro finding

spotted on the corner of 76th & 2nd in the rain the other morning. do you think it fell out of someone's middle school binder? back in 1997?

debbie downer #1

this pretty much sums up the current state of things. while i managed to get a christmas tree, not a decoration in sight. couldn't even manage to get the christmas decorations out of the monica closet. sigh. 

debbie downer #2

is this what working life has come to? 

eight hour conference calls in a storage closet?

oldie, but goodie

OK, since even the librarian didn't like the oneword creative writing assignment, how about this old ad to bring TFAAF back to frivolity? 

table topic #24

holiday themed one this week...

24. What is your favorite holiday song?

hmm...i have a couple of faves. 

on the traditional side, joy to the world brings back fond memories - my sister & i getting the church giggles during mass from the cadence of the pew in front of us - when we were way too old to be caught laughing at church. 

as far as music videos go, you can't beat the ridiculous holiday attire and over the top facial expressions of the hall & oates version of jingle bell rock. on the contemporary side, i always loved christmas in hollis by run dmc - this is usually my #1. 

but, this year the top spot is going to christmas wrapping, by the waitresses. you mean you forgot cranberries too??

admirable, but coco loco (pet edition)

really? do pets get stressed? are we sure about that? what are they doing all day - lounging around, eating, sleeping, playing. sounds like the least stressful existence around. while admirable there is a natural remedy, coco loco to think this is needed. 

one word

here is an interesting exercise. one word, one minute to write whatever comes to your mind. as you can see mine was "held" this time around: 

i may have stolen this from one of my loyal readers, so apologies if i did! you can try it yourself here. 

oh, joseph abboud

i'm not sure that's the best place for 9 "men jackets".

happy birthday!

happy birthday loyal TFAAF reader The General! in honor of, maybe i'll let you win at scrabble this week. ;-) 

 

OPP, take 5

it's official. drug fair is the hottest spot in town. 

comfy

i've been to shanghai, but don't remember this. that said, i could really get behind it. how can we get this going in new york?
