hi all!
No art today
although i had to share yesterday's purchases.
I'm always so excited about buying new art supplies.
I'm pretty easy to please.
A few things that make me really happy:
art supplies :-)
candles and holders - especially lime green ones
good coffee
good wine
2 hours in a book store
laughing with my son
a haircut (I'm getting one today - yay for me!)
spending time with friends
a good book
the ocean
new underwear ;-)
That's pretty much my list.
If i had ever married,
the whole "for better or for worst" speech
would have flown out the window.
I just would have supplied him with this list
and asked for his list.
Bam. Done. :-)
On that note, i want you all to know
that i'm not married, nor did i ever want to marry
nor will i ever marry.
Just to make things clear.
You know me. Clarity is always key. ;-)
ok, now that we have THAT out of the way,
i must also share this.
While i was running a few errands yesterday,
and buying these wonderful treats for myself,
i saw a bunch of little angel charms
at the Hallmark store.
You know the kind...
the cute little kind,
each one with a different little look
and its own title (and super power!)
I looked at a few of the titles...
courage angel
love angel
wisdom angel
sister angel
and then...
out of the corner of my eye...
(i swear i'm not making this up)
i saw....
CASINO ANGEL.
Gentle Jesus....
Casino angel.
Are we fucking serious?
i burst out laughing and the clerk came over
to see what she was missing.
She told me she thought it was the most ridiculous thing
she had ever seen too.
And then she proceeded to tell me
it was a best seller.
Have we lost our minds?
I wanted to slit my wrists right there in the store.
ok, maybe i'm exaggerating a bit, but you get my point.
Some say this is great marketing -
and maybe it is,
but it certainly says little for our intelligence
as a species.
Good for a few laughs, i guess...
Happy Wednesday folks!
xoxo
