And wow, is that a good thing. Not only can I not bake well, I cannot even decorate baked goods well. Evidence to follow.

Hobby Lobby and Women as 2nd class citizens
I have to admit that I’d never heard of Hobby Lobby until the first time I went to Alabama with Geoff. The first time I actually laid eyes on one I started laughing. I couldn’t believe that someone would actually name their store something that utterly ridiculous. It turns out that’s not the limit to their ridiculousness.

26 posters
Don’t worry, they’re not all in this post.
Today I got my daily email from Fab.com. One of the featured shops was for artist John Keddie, a San Francisco based artist who is a multimedia computer savvy type guy. He also very clearly has an appreciation for pop culture and, well, twisted humor. That’s why we’ve put up 7 of his posters. The rest are probably too, um, gritty for our parents. As they read this blog regularly and may pass out from too much grit, we’ve erred on the side of caution with our choices.
Serendipity and Portuguese Food
Yesterday I wore a polo/tennis type shirt with a Portuguese flag as the logo on the chest. Kelly got it for me as a birthday present this year. I wore it to work because those kinds of short sleeve shirts are a lot more comfortable for me. Anyway, near the end of the day a visitor walked up to me and asked me if I was Portuguese and could speak the language.
This week, in the randomness that is the internet
Every so often I come across a random photo or drawing on the internet that amuses or horrifies me. Or if I’m lucky it makes me wonder what on earth is going on. This is a round up of three that I’ve come across this week. Enjoy?

My great white green whale
Geoff and I don’t have a lot of money. This means that when we need something I tend to spend a lot of time looking to find the right item at the right price and the right quality. That way we don’t have to replace it in 10 minutes and we end up with what we need. Sometimes this is harder to do than other times.
Creepy item of the day
I’m a big fan of putting up weird, creepy, poorly thought out, and generally strange stuff here that I find in various parts of the internet. Some times they’re emailed to me and other times I just happen across them. Today, this landed in my inbox.
Things I do not understand
There are lots of things in this world I do not understand. Septum piercings, Mitt Romney, people who drive Hummers in cities, and fanfic are a few. Today Etsy introduced me to a new one. So did Fab.com.
Yard Sale People
We had a yard sale today. On the whole it went really well. However, when you’re dealing with random people on the street and people who saw your ad on Craigslist, you never know what you’re going to get.
New Hampshire Gift Shops and Other Scary Things
As you may have seen from Geoff’s post from the other day about Inappropriate Napping, we spent Thursday in New Hampshire with Geoff’s parents, sister, brother in law, and the kids. Before going out to dinner we went to a local gift shop aimed at the camping and antiquing tourists that come through the area. It was… an experience.
