Texts from My Dog. This is the funniest thing ever. [Adult language, y'all.]

Pinners Be Crazy. This blog that highlights the RIDICULOUSLY nasty comments some people leave on Pinterest. Sadly, the genius behind it has decided to discontinue the blog.

This Kickstarter is almost over and it breaks my heart that I didn’t know about earlier. Three days to raise a whole lot of dough, but maybe we can make it happen?

I am completely charmed by the artist who created this print! $36

I was cleaning out my handbag this morning and realized that I have been carrying around a truly comical amount of lip balm. Or maybe everyone has 20 lip balms with them at all times? I feel the compulsion to admit that this is just the ones that were in my bag; there is lip balm in the pocket of every jacket I wear, in the center console of my car and in my bedside table.C

Clearly  I have an irrational fear of having dry lips and not having any way to remedy it. What are you afraid of leaving the house without?

My friend Lisa gives the best presents. This is partly because she has the best sense of humor of anyone I know but also partly because she spends more time in thrift stores than most sane people. There is a talent involved in finding good stuff when thrift shopping and Lisa has it coming out her ears.

Any package that arrives with Lisa’s return address is guaranteed to have something hilarious or crazy or both inside and her latest was no exception.

Magic in Frosting is my new favorite thing ever. It’s just…the weirdest. It was published in 1972 and I suspect it was just for bakeries.

“We are certain that you will find this to be the most different and complete book ever written and photographed on the subject of Figure Piping with soft frostings.”  I believe them. Especially on the “different” part.

There is something delightfully charming about the step-by-step pictures.

And then they follow up with torso-less legs!

Super cute elephant and walrus how-to…

followed by a Lawrence Welk cake.  Was this cake ever really in demand? Did people who enjoyed the Lawrence Welk show really want to eat the host’s face in cake form?

This is just all around weird.

Uh oh. Racy cake alert! Also, if you don’t want to be disturbed you shouldn’t be trying to sell your bed while your in the other one.

What. the. hell? Taxes, wife, horses?!?  What the hell is going on here?

I’m pretty sure this is racist.

I can’t tell you how much joy this bizarro book has given me. And for $14 to $70 you can own your very own copy. Personally, I wouldn’t sell mine for all the money in the world.
