It is a dark and rainy Halloween morning here in the middle of North Central Wisconsin, far, far away from the nearest Design Within Reach. Can you imagine my total shock and surprise when I got to work and read my email?
Normally it's the usual Astrology.com horoscopes and the Salon newsletter. Today was different. There amongst the mundane was an email from Mod Mom! It was a quick note informing me that I was one of her incredible contest winners! ModMom has the best contests! You should really check her out!
This time Snowflake is the lucky recipient of a Boodalee duvet and sheet set! It is so BEYOND hip and cute! I seriously considered getting the 'full' size set in case I wanted to downsize my queensize, but I didn't. I cannot be so greedy and selfish. This print just totally rocks! It has the Taj Mahal, the Eiffel Tower and the Pyramids just to name a few cool icons on it!
Now I can't wait to find the perfect twin size bed to put these gorgeous threads on! Thanks Mom Mom and Boodalee! Happy Halloween!

Small Signs
Yesterday I was catching up at ModMom and noticed you could win free method home products. I LOVE method home. I use so much of their stuff, I was psyched to see that I would be able to get a cool free bag just for purchasing my favorite daily cleaning products!
But wait, there's more!
As I was wandering around Target getting my stuff, my phone rang. My red Motorola Razor. It said "private call". I wasn't gonna answer it but my mammy was with me and she commanded be to accept the call. Maybe you know how she feels about cellphones.
So I answered it. The news is that one of my photos is being considered for the 2009 calendar of a very big organization. It is a honor to even be considered. I'm super psyched! It made my month in year full of shit. Yay me!

The Time is Near
Well, the date looms... December 1, 2007 I will be jobless. I really don't know what I'm going to do with myself. I hate being forced into action, into doing something that I don't fucking want to do because I have no other choice. The reality is I have no other income than my job, no monies from people no longer in my life. This is for the best, I know.
Even though I asked for the information, I really do not want to be a paralegal, a nurse, a radiographer or a dental hygienist*. Fuck. Fuckity fuck. The reality is I have to pay bills and take care of a little boy alone. I hate this fucking place.
*or an aesthetician either. I forgot that one.

Drats! Foiled Again!
I didn't want to jinx myself by telling the world that I actually sold one of my pieces to a stranger until it ACTUALLY happend. Well, it happened. On Friday I met a lovely woman who had picked up one of my cards from the Exhibitour and in exchange for ONEHUNDREDANDFIFTEENBIGONES, she aquired a cool brushed steel frame encapsulating a photo of a Studebaker. I was so thrilled. I haven't cashed the check.
I thought about what I would do with it all weekend. Buy a new toaster, buy a new toaster, it chanted. Then upon looking into Snowflake's cute little gob, I discovered what I think appears to be a cavity. DRATS!
This morning I called a new lady dentist(per SF's request) and set up the initial appointment that will cost me possibly TWOHUNDREDANDONEBIGFATFUCKINGONES. Cash paid in full at the time of services. Only then will he go back for a cleaning(FOURTYEIGHTLITTLEFUCKINGONES) and finally the restorative services which will most likely bankrupt me. Anyone wanna buy a gently used Saab 9-3?

S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y Night
While the world marches on, you with your lover, your husband, your wife, your friends- the weirdos and antisocial neglected sit around on a Saturday night and sip mediocre red wine and troll eBay for Dualit toasters, and then imported beer tshirts for their fathers for Christmas(even though he only drinks Budweiser) and finally end up bidding on a Leinenkugel's canoe paddle made out of plastic.
I keep on dancin' to the rock and roll...

10-20-30 Virus
I found this at the very Uber Kick Ass, Autumn's Mom. What were you doing 10, 20 and 30 years ago? I can't believe I can actually go back thirty years. Ugh.
10 years ago I was most likely dating this guy. I was probably also going on a trip to Mexico shortly. I partied. I was a crazy single girl enjoying everything life threw at me.
20 years ago I was attending the local University and chomping at the bit to get to the university that I really wanted to go to. I was on the tennis team and I was partying with the locals. And studying.
30 years ago I was eight years old and living in a very small town close to an indian reservation. It was the year I won a poetry contest. I liked to ice skate. I went to a school named Olga Brener. I had two younger brothers. Now I only have one.
You?

Toast
Do you toast? Do you like toast? Do you have a toaster that you're fond of? Maybe you prefer a toaster oven for its versatility. I'm sad. I was heating up some pancakes in my Michael Graves extra wide four slot toaster and the friggin' handle busted off as I plunged it down and went scuttleing across the floor. Damn! Double Damn.
It is such a cool toaster and they don't make it anymore. It's all chrome and ribbed. Maybe I could see this as the excuse to buy the toaster of my dreams. I'm not sure if I'm mentally ready to put down upwards of $200 for my Dreamy red or classic chrome(I can't decide) Dualit toaster. They're clunky and chunky and cool.The toaster is the only 'thing' I have on my counter tops.
I do own a gorgeous Sunbeam T-9 toaster, but it needs to be refurbished. The little jewel glows as it works. I sucked the life out of it. I bought it at an antique store in Oklahoma on Route 66. It belonged to a married couple of 70 years!Isn't it nice to share toast with someone you love?

He's All Thumbs
Some of you may remember this. The saga continues. Last night we're in the car on the way to din-din:
Snowflake: Pick your nose once! (Once added to the end of a sentence is a common practice in these parts, most commonly heard as 'can you come here once?)
Me: Glancing in the rearview I exclaim, "No WAY!"
Snowflake: Why? Are your thumbs too big?

Amelie
I watched "Amelie" for the first time yesterday, lounging on my parents sofa. Snowflake helped them blow leaves and I was able to watch the entire film uninterrupted. I loved it. It's one of my favorite films. I also liked "Delicatessen" so maybe it's no wonder. Feeling sick, I'm not sure if I should have felt overjoyed or just more depressed. Kick ass little treasure.
Amelie, you're my hero.

Stone Cold Cuteness
We just got back from "Family Stone Soup Night." Snowflake and I basically did some 'work' and skipped the soup. He was too excited to show me all of the different things he likes to do.
As he sat and pounded golf tees into a small pumpkin, his friend came by.
"Adana, have you met my mother," he chirps.
OMG. Be still my beating heart!

Lars and the Real Girl
I found Lars and the Real Girl via Dino and just watched the trailer.
“It’s not like you’re all one thing or another. There’s still a kid inside you. You grow up when you decide to do right. And not just what’s right for you but what’s right for everybody, even when it hurts,” made me cry.

Sickness
I don't think there is a time that I feel more alone than when I'm sick. I've been sick since the weekend of September 22 and finally, the fog is starting to clear. I can feel the poison squidging out of me. I became very close to the Mucinex Boys. Snowflake and I have shared this disgusting cough that sounds like we're hard core Lucky Strike smokers. I'm not the type to run quick to the doctor for every little sniffle.
In fact, I hate going to the doctor and I hate hospitals. I hate the way they smell. I like to think that we are more like dogs than we know. Our bodies are designed to fight off infection and if we over medicate, it ultimately will ruin us(are you going to slap me, Nutrix?). I don't believe in the flu shot. In my own little world of conspiracy thought, I think the population is a testing ground for the government.
It scares me to hear of staph infections bordering on flesh eating bacterias lurking in schools and other places we generally think of as sanitary. They say people don't use proper hand washing techniques. Why? Why can't people just wash their damn hands after they cough up a phlegm wad or wipe their ass? Is it too much too ask? Apparently so.
So I've spent the last month feeling generally depressed and sad and sick. It really does make you appreciate your body when it feels 'good.' Normal. Even on a bad day.
This sickness has given me the opportunity to watch every Harry Potter movie that's been released. I like them. I love the fact that they're chocked full of great English actors that can REALLY act. Kenneth Brannaugh as Guilderoy Lockheart is hilarious. And I've always had a thing for Alan Rickman. I think if I were younger, I would have read the books. I think that will be something Snowflake and I do together.
Last night I watched "The Holiday." Yeah, I bawled. I could so relate to Kate Winslet bundled up walking around in her house with a scarf on. Bawling. Feeling lonely. The difference being she didn't have a three year old monkey saying "Hold my legs so I can hang upside down" constantly.
Rosalie stopped by yesterday and brought me a tooth pick holder from Puerto Vallarta. It's a little sombrero clad figure laying on its tummy. It's made out of Fimo and you stick the toothpicks in its ass.
It wasn't chicken soup but it was just as good.

Smashing Pumpkins (An Epic Tale)
Always in search of adventure, Snowflake and I jumped in our lovable GasPig and ventured to the Nekoosa Giant Pumpkin Festival to take in all of its glory and bizarre ritual.
Pumpkin on Pumpkin Action
Patiently waiting for the Big Event
The "Technical Crew" readies the object of affection.
Dum Dum Di-Dum Da Da Da Da Da Da Dum...
That's over 1100lbs. of Pumpkin Lovin' Free Fallin'
Alas, Poor Yorick,
We didn't know ye.
In a bizarre frenzy, young and old dash into the field
to stake a claim on a chunk of orange, or maybe a seed.
Exactly who got their meaty little paws
on this piece remains a mystery.
The surge- It felt like General Admission to Van Halen
circa 1980.
One of the few Girl Go Getters
"Donchu even think about taking this piece of pumpkin, lady!"
This little fella gave Snowflake a Ziploc for seeds that never materialized.
He was all to proud to pose with his trophy.
Now what the fvck you gonna do with that, little dude?
Of course! Compare size with your buddies.
Or pose with your sis.
You've gotta admire a girl with
grass stains on her knees
diving for a chunk of punk.

Now what the fvck you gonna do with that, little dude?
Of course! Compare size with your buddies.
Or pose with your sis.
You've gotta admire a girl with
grass stains on her knees
diving for a chunk of punk.

Untitled
You don't need to comment on how I say I love.
Or how I am so alone, but strong.
I have lived alone so long
That when I read the pangs of those more connected
I think
They'll be fine
I always am.
The one connection I treasure
I fear
A tragedy
Would render me helpless
And completely suicidal.
I'm not
As Strong
As I think I am.

I hope not, but just in case, take three shots of Yukon Jack and Google me in the morning.
