Real Wood Stove

What is wrong with this picture? 

Let me count the ways:

1. A wood stove
2. Made out of wood

3. Guaranteed to burn 4 hours

4. Made in Poland

5. Only $48.95

We found this in a very unique house we were showing to my friend, Traci Ferguson of Intrinsic Design. She is the one who pointed out the ad in the machine shop that could barely be seen through the dust of the years (and I mean years). She dusted it off and sure enough, it said what we thought it said. She also had to wash her hands afterwards. After we laughed so hard we almost peed our pants.

Firewood costs $5/bundle? It burns for about 4 hours. 

Or, you could just send off $48.95 (+shipping/handling) to this company in Poland, get yourself a real wood stove, and have yourself a fire in style. Your friends will be amazed (probably at your stupidity, but amazed, none-the-less).

Or, if you have some scrap wood laying around the house and a lot of time on your hands, perhaps you could make your own, amazing and dazing your friends. 

I can't make this kind of stuff up. 

I'm baaaack!

I know, it's been awhile since I have posted anything and I didn't want an entire month to go without it. I need to get back into the groove of things, so this one is short but sweet.

When people ask me why I started blogging, or how I got into blogging, I can only say: 15 Minute Lunch Guy. Some of you are familiar with his stuff (or may even follow him on your own). Some of you have seen his famous posting about the 1977 JC Penney Catalog.

But I would like for you to take a moment to look at my favorite posting of his:

The Artist Formerly Known As

Go on. I dare you to read it and not laugh.

And no, I don't know why he calls himself 15 minute lunch guy. Maybe because he writes his posts in 15 minutes and only on his lunch hour. Or maybe he only takes 15 minutes for his lunch. Or maybe he is giving you permission to read him at your desk on your lunch hour. Or, maybe, well, I don't know. But in any case, I invited him on our trip to Mexico, and now he thinks I am stalking him.

In any case, Johnny Virgil is hysterical. Be sure to check him out.

My cat has Alzheimers

She can't remember if I've fed her or not, so quite often she stands on the counter and howls. 

She used to not use the litter box and my yard was her toilet. 

Then she decided to start using it. 

6 months ago she stopped using it. 

2 days ago she pooped in my hubby's bathroom.

Now she's using the litter box again, mere moments after I told my housesitter she wasn't going to have to clean out the litter box because my cat didn't use it. 

I'm sure it's kitty alzheimers. Or perhaps she made a New Year's Resolution to never go outside again.
