I love how the tongue lapping is so powerful that the baby bunny gets pushed forward.
"But because we waited so long, I got to hear exactly how many Grammy Nominations that all the little monsters got tonight..." I went to see Lady GaGa in Boston that night expecting to see an amazing show. The concert started at 7:30pm and featured 2 opening acts. Little did I know that my ticket price covered sitting in the worst possible seats and listening to Michael Jackson's Thriller album in its entirety while all the Lady GaGa fans waited and waited and waited some more for her to take the stage. She didn't come ou…
I was sitting down in the cafeteria having coffee with a few of my co-workers the other day. Sue was telling me how disappointed she was that her parents didn't do anything special for her sister on her birthday. "All they did was make her a tuna fish sandwich." To which Rick asked, "Chunky or Solid?" Guess you had to be there.
Thought I'd share with you one of my favorite video clips of a soldier being welcomed by his dogs upon arriving home. Get the tissues out. If you want to see more really amazingly touching videos, click here .
I can't stop listening to this adorable song!
So this music video is just over 3 minutes long, but well worth the viewing. Several well known celebrities such as Sting, Hugh Laurie, Robbie Coltrane are featured making farm animal sounds. There's also a sprinkling of other folks you'll recognize. Pretty much my favorite part is seeing Sting oinking.
Snug Life Spencer and I picked up two Snuggie rip-offs at BJ's last week. Spencer remarked that the Snuggie is like putting on a bathrobe backwards except that our rip-off Snuggie has pockets. We were able to buy a dark blue Snuggie and a Cranberry one to match our new couch that we put in our 'Entertainment' room. But the picture above of some lady actually wearing her Snuggie while roaming the aisles of Wal-Mart is just too much. Before I would be appalled that people would go shopping in their pajama bottoms, but wearing a …
This costume is priceless. I think the only trouble if I were making it would be those big eyes.
Simply one of the cutest animal videos I've ever seen. How can you not smile broadly watching these two play-fight? I love the Beagle puppy just pouncing onto the head of the Rottweiler!
I spent the entire day today on the computer. I did manage a brief nap this afternoon, but otherwise I read all my RSS feeds, posted furiously on Facebook and worked through over 700 plus emails in my personal in box. I came across an email I sent to myself back on September 24th that contained snippets of blog ideas, but now that I read them nearly a month later...the humor seems gone. So I'm going to post them in bullet form just to say that I did something with them this time rather than delete them. Here are my ideas for a blog p…
You've got to be kidding me? My favorite PSA from the 70's mentions Pomegranate Juice? That is so amazing. The proverbial seed was planted in my head through a PSA?
How fabulous! Two of my favorite entertainers sitting on a fake panel shilling for the new Sony e-book reader.
This woman has such a beautiful voice. Listening to her sing reminds me of being on a tropical island.
Just another day at the office ;) , originally uploaded by WytzeNL . Believe it or not, my Beagle Minnie (not pictured here) does the very same thing to me every night before we go to bed. She gets into the bed and crawls up on my back and sits and stares and pants and does whatever other annoyingly cute thing she does to get Spencer's attention before she settles down for the night.
I bought this little cutie yesterday. I saw him and just couldn't leave him in the store! It’s a dip bowl with spreader (tail). (Thanks Michelle !)
I simply cannot stop watching this video. I love these guys!
I went to Easton, MA on Saturday to visit with my friend Leslie. We used to work together at Staples and have remained friends since I left there four years ago. I arrived at her house around 10:30 and we spent the day together going to a Country Store and a pub in downtown Mansfield. But while sitting having a salad, I started to not feel so good. I didn't think much about it other than the hour and fifteen minute ride home ahead of me after I said goodbye with my old friend. It turned out the ride home was one of the longest of my l…
ROOTED winner: Cutlery Skeleton I guess I just have this fascination with Sporks. So you can imagine how delighted I was to come across a human skeleton made out of Sporks.This skeleton was entered into the Rooted competition and won. Rooted gives out awards to artist displaying their work anywhere they want, in any form as long as the subject matter doesn't deface anybody's work. This sporky guy was created by five Kingston grads..{courtesy of ShellSuit Zombie }
Now YOU can carve up your pumpkin in honor of your favorite canine. I'm partial to Beagles. Click here. This is adorable. I just might take a knife to my pumpkin and see what kind of damage I can do to it.
Former American Idol runner up Blake Lewis released his sophomore CD this past Tuesday aptly titled Heartbreak on Vinyl . There are only certain artists that warrant an actual CD purchase by me and I typically buy their CD’s from Target. I was quite surprised this past weekend when I didn’t see any mention of Blake’s CD in their Tune-In-Tuesday section of their advertisement in the Worcester Sunday Telegram. I half-heartedly snatched the Best Buy flier and flipped to their music section not holding out any hope that they would feature t…
band of beagles , originally uploaded by lazybeagle . Reminds me of Minnie with all of her stuffed animals.
About a month ago I visited Tatnuck Bookseller in Westborough during my lunch hour. As I was browsing their enormous gift area, I came across this extremely life-like stuffed Beagle. I had to have it. I had visions of putting this handsomely plush Beagle in one of our spare bedrooms as decorations. (OK. You got me. The spare bedroom really isn't a spare bedroom, but rather belongs to our adorable spoiled Beagle named Minnie. So yes...I bought a dog for my dog's bedroom.) But the intention of using the stuffed Beagle purely for decor…
This is my new favorite YouTube video. Simply adorable. I like that the back fat still doesn't give this poor puppy enough traction to get to the other side.
Most inspirational video I've seen in a long time about an LA small business owner and his enthusiasm for owning a grocery store that boasts 500 flavors of soda. Watching this 13 minute video made me want to get on a plane right now and fly across the country to visit this store. This one is going on my personal bucket list. Link
My sister-in-law Katie snapped this picture on her Blackberry yesterday of our beagle Minnie. She had just come inside after her afternoon walk and was completely pooped. Needless to say, she doesn't like hot humid days at all. The best times are when she gets half way down Miami Street and decides she doesn't want to budge. We're both looking forward to Autumn in a big way.
This is a picture of a super cool print that I bought off of Rebecca (aka SmellyRhino ) on Etsy . You see, I've got this crazy notion that since I don't have any children yet that I would decorate one of our spare bedrooms in honor of our beloved Beagle Minnie. Right now the walls are painted blue (imagine the color of a Smurf, but more muted in hue) and the theme is Mr. Men . I've got the curtains, a pillow sham, matching sheets, a comforter and even a pop-up laundry basket in there. All Mr. Men and it looks pretty fantas…
Jennifer Magit...if you're out there this one's for you!
I'm in a nostalgic mood right now after the passing of John Hughes. After cooking up some cheese burgers on my George Foreman grill and having some frozen french fries and Goya rice, I'm about to suggest to Spencer that we spend this lazy Sunday afternoon watching Heathers.
I love Hello Kitty. So I'm always interested in seeing all the merchandise that is available featuring Hello Kitty. Today's find is courtesy of Funky Lunch which is a really interesting website that features creative sandwiches. If you're a mom and want to spice up your kids lunch, maybe you can give one of these a try? via Funky Lunch
I really admire the detail that goes into the craft of felting. Someday I'm going to get off my lazy ass and learn how to do it myself. But I'm not quite sure what my first project will be, but I imagine it will be something simple like reproducing what belly button lint would look like in felt. How could I screw up something like that, right? Then I expect I'll get really ambitious and branch off into harder subject matter such as fat bumblebees. In the meantime, enjoy Teddy Bear Fetus In A Jar. Teddy Bear Natural History b…
I just read this amazing post from Alison Byrne who had the late John Hughes as her pen pal in her teens. How cool was that? The fact that Alison sat down one day and wrote a letter to John Hughes because she found his movies so meaningful and he actually wrote back is incredible. I recall years ago reading Insomnia by Stephen King and feeling compelled to actually mail him a letter telling him about a really funny experience while reading his book: We were living on Malden Street in Worcester at the time in a two-bedroom condo. I remem…
Dog , originally uploaded by Margie QQ . Found this photo on Flickr this morning and was quite impressed with the details.
Gidget, best known as the ambassador of fast food chain Taco Bell, died today of a stroke. She was 15 years old. I stumbled across this story on People.com this afternoon and instantly the tears flooded my eyes. My father's beloved Taco Bell chihuahua was gone. I didn't keep many things that belonged to my father after he died unless you count my mother and the home they shared together for nearly 30 years. But there were a few little things that were special to me: I kept a wind-up bright red Mickey Mouse alarm clock that used …
I came across a series of photographs recently posted on Flickr of this Beagle puppy named Kenzo. Well, I didn't accidentally come across them. I was using Google Reader to review my RSS feeds and I have one that captures photos that are tagged with the word Beagle. It's my own little version of puppy porn...and it doesn't cost me $3.99 a minute. I can't think of a more perfect example of why I love Beagle puppies. Every single day I scroll through the Flickr feed and use the 'favorite' feature to mark pi…
Kit Lane; Jabba the Hut: The Early Days , originally uploaded by Bear and Bird . Maybe the craft of felting has been around a really long time and I just never knew about it, but it's just the coolest thing ever. I love this creation so much. I'd buy it in a heartbeat and put it next to my PC monitor at work.

Ode to Saturday mornings past by ~ JessKat83 on deviant ART I wish she'd make this print available for sale! I love that Barbapapa made the cut.
I wouldn't say I was one of those little girls who loved to play with dolls. I liked them well enough, but I always seemed to have more fun with toys that required lots of C batteries and ammunition for cap guns. But I did have this one doll that my mom swore I took everywhere with me and her name was Drowsy. Drowsy was a baby doll made by Mattel who had gold-spun yellow hair and was dressed in a pink and polka dot sleeper. She had a plastic round pull string on her back and when you pulled it, her voice box said stuff like: "…
Sitting in front of the TV yesterday after work was a little surreal because the cause of Michael Jackson's death hit very close to home. I actually found myself crying when CNN broke the shocking news that he had died from cardiac arrest. As the tears spilled down my cheeks, I felt really weird about crying since I didn't have a personal connection to Michael Jackson other than being an admirer of his music. But after a few minutes I realized why his death was hitting me hard enough to provoke tears. My dad died the very same wa…
Why does it seem like there is not one person in my life right now without drama. In no particular order: My best friend Karen officially broke up with her boyfriend. My co-worker Patty just found out that due to a severe plumbing problem she’s going to have to move out of her apartment and into another unit while workers tear up her floors to correct a massive leak. Plus her poor husband nearly had an amputation earlier this week from an infection – long story. (And she’s suffering a major hangover from the Jimmy Buffet concert last nigh…
I'm a big fan of Dannon Light & Fit yogurt, but I'm a SUPER FAN when it comes to Limited Edition anything . I had been hoping to find their new Seasonal Delight flavors because two of the five are Pomegranate Berry and Pineapple Coconut. I've been looking for these new flavors for what feels like months. Dannon had been cruelly taunting me with advertisements of their new flavors on the tops of other Light & Fit yogurt cups and I simply couldn't find them anywhere. Believe me, I tried really hard to track them down…
Well, vacation is officially over and it's back to Bose tomorrow. I had an amazing 11 straight days away from the office and enjoyed a very good vacation. Each day I found myself counting on my fingers how many days I had left of the vacation. I know that sounds kind of weird because I really should have just been enjoying myself rather than participating in my own personal count-down , but I couldn't help it. Perhaps I place far too much emphasis on vacations? Spencer tells me that I have to stop thinking of my vacation like it…
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this (fake) blogger from Bitchpleeze.com . Saturday Night Live has really done a great job with this season's cast.
Yesterday it was some unknown man dressed in a white linen suit – today I got to see an honest-to-goodness red fox! I grabbed my trusty pair of binoculars and stood there watching the red fox. He stretched and his little back legs extended just like puppies do. His front feet were jet black and his tail was so bushy. (I wonder if a fox wags its tail like a dog?) Several of my co-workers gathered around the window and we looked down at the fox lying out in the sun near the right of the shrubbery. We all collectively made unusual ba…
Working on the fourth floor of an office building is usually a pain because you’re either huffing it up the stairs or taking the elevator to get to your office. There aren't many advantages to being on the fourth floor of a six story building…except for today. Turns out the fourth floor places me in the perfect position of looking outside the windows (in the back of the building) to spy on people as they walk through the parking lot. Most days the only action we see is a traffic back-up from California Ave to Route 9 or a deer snacking o…
I know this sounds a little self-indulgent, but I haven't been myself lately. I think I've been struggling with finding that happy balance between work and home life. I mentioned to Spencer recently that I think I give my best efforts when I'm at work. After I'm walking out of the building, my first thought is what's for dinner and then what will I be watching tonight on TV? A Netflix movie or watching Rescue Me . A typical day is as follows: The ride into work can sometimes take up to 45 minutes and during that time …
Apologies to Jeff Foxsworthy, but here goes: If you’re buying a pregnancy test while in the check out line at the Dollar Tree store, then you might be a redneck. I’ve actually seen these pregnancy tests and wondered how accurate they could be? False Positive? I think so. But really…do the results of a $1.00 pregnancy test even matter if you’re buying it at The Dollar Tree store? Seriously. Don’t buy such an important life-changing boxed test just because it’s at eye-level next to the AA batteries in the check out line. I used to take…
Hi, I'm Kim.
I'm a grown-ass kid at heart who would totally cook a soup made of glitter featuring Play-Doh stars and floating Weebles. I liked peeling glue off my fingers in elementary school and still love Duran Duran. I own too many bottles of salad dressing, love reading books about vampires, consider myself an insatiable entertainment junkie, and believe a rainbow makes everything better. And I hate Select-A-Sheet paper towels.
