If you want to read the comments, click the "Comments" link at the bottom right of the post. Alternatively, you can click the title of the post under the "Previous Posts" heading on the sidebar on the right side of the page. This looks much prettier. After perusing the comments, you can click the link that says "Post a Comment," and you're off to the races. (Or just type in the box. You don't need to put in your web address or email address, and you can even use an alias.)

Now, you're probably wondering why I have posted a tutorial on posting comments. The reason is this: I know I have more than 3-5 friends and family members who read this blog. People are lurking and not leaving me feedback telling me how great/funny/talented I am and how they want me to be the godmother of their children and/or cats.

So leave me a comment!

Although, it's a bit like having the teacher read your secret note out to the entire class. Everyone will see it, so if you're sending me your credit card number, please call me at 1-555-BON-BONS and I'll make sure you're maxed-out in no time!

Cheers to the lurkers.

What is that?

I've decided to run a little contest.

The first person to correctly identify this gross picture in the comments will win a prize!

CONTEST RULES:
Not open to residents of Quebec, people whose first name starts with 2, or anyone who has 13 toes. The prize is good. Go ahead, take a guess!

The prize is waiting...

Andrew's Cake

This cake is ridiculously funny. Even if you've never met Andrew, you would probably laugh at this cake. If you have met Andrew, who has darker skin, and no afro, and doesn't look anything like his icing portrait, this cake takes on a whole new level of hilarity.

This was the highlight of my yesterday: a ludicrous ice cream cake from DQ.

Addendum:
Andrew is a Service Advisor where I work. It was his birthday this week. One of the techs came up with the design for the cake.

So, D Lo, I didn't buy the cake just because I saw it sitting in the display case at DQ. That would have been even funnier, though.

New Year's Resolution

I do not make New Year's Resolutions because I have enough guilt in my life. Mostly, I feel guilty about how lazy I am, so if I make a resolution, I'll just be lazy about it and feel guilty some more!

Instead, I have just had the brilliant idea to resolve to use more words. (Not a new idea, but a good one.) For instance, I do not use the word "pontificate" nearly enough. Also, I don't believe I've ever uttered the word "caveat" in a sentence. I had a customer explain a "trifecta" of issues with his car today. I admire the announcers on CBC radio. They talk gooder than I.

Any other words I should add to my collection this year? "Intrusion," perhaps? I'm asking the four of you who read this. Yes, you.

On a somewhat related note, my little sisters called me yesterday and told me via speaker phone: "Did you know that 'booger' and 'snot' aren't words? They're not in the dictionary!" Since I'm ever the educator, I told them to look up "mucus."

I made a fill-in-the-blanks, multiple choice letter for my little sisters. This is what Jessica wrote. She's 8. I should make this into a large poster and put it up at work as a big reminder for everybody.

There was another gale last night! We were worried the glass would shatter again, but thankfully, it did not. (Some windows did break.) I fell asleep on the couch and just stayed there because it's relatively far away from the windows. I did not want to wake up to a glass shard shower. Say that ten times fast: glass shard shower glass shard shower glass shard shower glass shard shower glass shard shower glass shard shower glass shard shower glass shard shower glass shard shower glass shard shower

At work yesterday, I got a free Cactus Club lunch and the best piece of cake I have ever had! It was a tiramisu cake by Liberty Bakery. It tasted better than tiramisu. I had another piece at the end of the day. I pretended it was my birthday cake. I'm still dreaming/drooling about it. Maybe I should go to work today just for more cake. (Can you hear Homer drooling for doughnuts right now? Yeah, that's me.)

Cheery Handlebar

"...because I haven't done anything for you in a long time."

Yes, the hub's handlebar makes me smile. ♥

Happy 2007, everybody!
