Sitting in judgment

Advisory: this could be filed under TMI. Just FYI. ;)

So, I’m sitting here in front of my computer, minding my own business and doing my digital scrapbook layout, when I hear Nathan walk up behind me. I turn around to a somewhat flustered and amused husband. Talking with his hands he says, “Your feminine hygiene products are judging me!”

Can you imagine the look on my face? Yeah, I’m sure you can.

“No, really!” he says, “You gotta come see.”

As he leads me to the bathroom, he explains, “I was just standing there [doing my business] and I look at the box. And realize it’s looking back at me!” Skeptical (and wondering what the hell he’s been smoking ‘cuz I want some too), I continue to follow him. Then I see:

Which reminds me… I need one of those shirts that says, “I am SO going to blog this”…

Don’t miss “Sisters Singing” anthology of women’s writing

Another first for me this week! My first published book review is available at the Story Circle Network Book Reviews web site.

I love this book. Sisters Singing: Blessings, prayers, art, songs, poetry and sacred stories by women is an awesome collection of spiritual and soulful women’s writing. It’s broken into ?? sections: White Lotus, Ode to the Mother, Song of a Luscious Wench, Everyday Offerings, The Coming of Grace, I am Nothing without My Dead, Songs of My Sisters, In the Oak Grove, In Praise of Water, In the Name of Raven, and Prayers for My World.

Um, can I say that now I totally want to be a Luscious Wench? You don’t want to miss that poem, titled “Song of a Luscious Wench,” on page 65. Some other favorites of mine (dogeared and marked) are: “Circle of Women,” “Avalon Priestess,” “When I am Silent,” “What the Moon Knows,” “Prayer for What Must be Done Next,” and “Prayer of Thanksgiving.” And so many more spoke to me that I can’t excerpt them here. Just take my word for it and buy the book. You won’t regret it!

Zombies ahead!

Austinites were treated to a funny commute the other day:

The Texas Department of Transportation isn’t laughing at the ghoulish warning that appeared Wednesday on an Austin traffic sign.

I love Jesus but I drink a little

This is hysterical and it SO made my Monday. I wish I was 88 so I could get away with being this crotchety and blunt! *wipes tears of laughter*

FTW: Squirrel!

We don’t let Tex keep squeaky toys on the floor. Like most things he wants to chew on, he quickly enters Search and Destroy mode. Not to mention the incessant squeaky noise. ;)   These toys have been on our bookshelf for months. Tonight he suddenly decided he wanted them back.
