Taking a little break...

Hello all my faithful readers! Thank you for visiting and enjoying my blog! I am very busy at work and, needless to say, circumstances like this tend to drain my creative juices to absolutely nothing and I end up walking around like a zombie that can't form sentences (how sad, I know). So, I need to recharge, go run 30 miles, eat a bunch of olives, and probably punch a flower pot or something! I didn't want you to keep checking my blog every day and be disappointed or cry for hours or what not! I do have some new comics in the works that I am going to be developing soon. Check back in about a week! See you next Tuesday!

Das Fartbux

My boyfriend wrote this song and initially titled it "Gas Commercial" (fart gas, not to be confused with gasoline) because he thought it sounded like a jingle for one. A week later, I constructed my fart box. If you don't know what this is, check out my blog titled, How to make a fart box. He then decided it should be called "Das Fartbux." We planned on making a commercial for my fart box, but it's been over a month now and I just don't see it happening, so I decided to put his song to 2 gas commercials I found. Enjoy!

I take punctuation very seriously.

These are bumper stickers I made to support the correct use of punctuation!

WOW!

Is this for real??! This was on the homepage of msn.com. I can't stop staring at the mannequin's nose that obviously fell off and was drawn back on with a permanent marker... and by someone who obviously failed art in preschool. Also, take note of the amazing tourist attraction...

How To Take Great Photographs on Howcast

You say you've been buds, eh?

My friend's garbage man was telling her the other day that he and her dog have been buds for several years (apparently for like 10 or 12 or something like that)! Well, the dog she has now has only been around for 3 and looks something like this:



...which looks nothing like the dog before him which looked something like this:


So, my friend said to me, "What, did he think I gave the dog a perm or something??"

I think a beaver broke into my parents house Monday night.

Timeline of Events
I'm house-sitting for my parents right now and am taking care of their cat, Daisy. This is the timeline of events that led up to the picture displayed above.

Between Friday 11:00pm and Monday 2:30pm - sifted 2 poops out of the boxes

Monday 2:30pm - Changed the litter boxes

Monday 11:30pm- No turds

Tuesday 11:00am I found this disaster. Very disturbing.

I can be a little gullable sometimes.

I keep a blog for work too. I won't share it with any of you because I guarantee you won't find it interesting, nor applicable to anything in your own lives. Anyway, one day I noticed some very flattering comments on my posts (see a few samples below) and, needless to say, reading them really boosted my self esteem... for a minute that is...

• "This is really great! Have you ever thought about writing a book?"
• "This article is so interesting. Thank you so much for this information. You are amazing!"
• "Wow! You really know what you are talking about!"

... because then I saw the names of those posting these comments.

shemale, ilovedrugs, wormmurderer, etc. (There were names a lot worse than that, but I won't list those as I am attempting to keep this blog clean).

Darn spam! You got me! So, once I cleaned out the 999 spam comments, there were 0 comments left. Couldn't at least one of them have been legitimate??!! Maybe the one about me writing a book??

Text Messaging with Nikki

This is a text message thread between my sister, Nikki, and myself.

Stephanie: "The most delicious crab cakes ever!"


Nikki: "You bitch. Look at my dinner."

Stephanie: "Awwwww, too bad... Do you wish you were hanging out with this guy??!"

24 1/2 hours

I don't really know what this means... but I'll take an extra 1/2 hour each day!!

Indications that I am Sleeping

Have you ever experienced times when you have gone to bed, or went to take a nap, and someone keeps trying to talk to you and asks if you are awake, over and over, when you clearly aren't responding? I have to admit that I have been guilty of this a time or two, however, that is the origin of this comic.

7 Signs that I am NOT Awake.

There's no doubt about it. I have strange dreams.

I had a dream last night focused solely on what is in that picture below. What is it, you ask? Oh yeah... it's the handle to my strainer that keeps falling off...?? While most people have normal dreams about going to the beach, eating extra large pizzas, George Clooney, or whatever normal people dream about, I'm dreaming about saving the handle to a strainer!

Because I never miss an opportunity to...

...give myself a really sweet stache. I love mustaches...and cats...and funny pictures...and seashells...and seahorses...and Meijer brand paper towels with searhorses on them.

Wilda's Birthday Cake.

I bet you wish you were lucky enough to get your hands on a section of cake this cool because then you could walk around at work for 10 minutes saying things like "Who put the wild in Wilda??!" or "Isn't this wild??!!" That's what my boyfriend did... and then he took a picture of it so he could never forget the coolest (and most wild) piece of cake he ever ate.

Cat Scale of Happiness

So, I had my cat declawed last week and he had to spend the night at the vet on Friday. That night I had a dream (rather nightmare) that this genie came to me and showed my cat's level of happiness before and after getting declawed.

GENIE DREAM
Cat level of happiness: Pre-declawing


Cat level of happiness: Post-declawing



REALITY
This was my cat's level of happiness post de-clawing, in real life. I showed that genie!

New comics coming soon!

I apologize for the lack of posts recently, however, there are some new comics in the works and will be posted soon!

Cat toy rip off.

So, Adam bought these toys for the cats yesterday and assumed they had cat nip in them because the toy said "CATNIP" on it. Surprise! They don't. I just don't get it. Why would they stamp "CATNIP" on the toy if they aren't really going to fill it with it. Such a tease. P.S. In case you were wondering, no, I didn't think there was 50lbs in it, but 2oz, or even a dusting, would have been nice!


However, I guess if the company used the same reasoning I had when looking at the toy, they should have stuffed the other one with money! I definitely wouldn't have minded that at all.

The Downfalls of Movie Vending Machines

I apologize the images are kind of small. Try clicking on them to make them bigger. I am new at creating comics, so knowing how best to display them to ensure they are easy to read is something I will have to explore! Enjoy (if you can)!

Did you know that you can make scrambled eggs out of flaxseeds?

Just kidding, you really can't, but apparently some people think it may be possible...

I've been playing around with vegan recipes lately and found a great egg replacement for baked goods (it works very well, by the way, but giving you an egg replacement recipe really isn't the point of this post).

Anyway, in response to this recipe, a user responded with this comment... (I hope to God she wasn't serious, but I have a feeling she was)

Funk E Fresh

I went to the Teen Filmmakers Festival on Sunday and this video won Best Music Video.

A gift for the garbage man?

I was on my way to the grocery store tonight and couldn't help but notice the large 1/4" thick poster out with my neighbor's recycling bin and trash can. I guess after you've had your second kid it's probably time to get rid of stuff like this...?

I kind of have an urge to go back and put a red bow on it.


*Poster Update: On my way to the bank this morning I decided to check if the poster was still there. The garbage truck had not been by yet, but it was gone!
