It’s the last Friday of the month, Bramble Patch time!
This is where I include a list of my favorite distractions from the last month, which is surprisingly short this time as it’s been a helluva month for distractions. Whew! Okay, now, this is the part where I get to be the annoying blogger and say “Sorry I have been falling behind guys, I have been soooo buzzzy!!” (don’t you hate it when they do that?) but yeah. Things come in seasons and this has been a burning the candle at both ends kind of season. I’m sure a lot of you have much heavier loads, but I’m just being honest: I’m pooped and my blogging time has suffered for that. I’m not going to apologize for it because this is a hobby for me, it’s free for you, and it’s okay if I let it slip…but, if you are a regular reader and you picked up on the lack of posts lately, you deserve an explanation on why I’ve been such a crappy girlfriend. So that’s what I know about that. Anyway. The crest has nearly passed and I’ll be back on track soon. Thanks for sticking with me. We’ll talk more later, okay? In the meantime, gtg, I am literally about to carry a “camel load” of pompoms across state lines. Happy weekend!
Compare the vocal ranges of today’s top singers with the greatest of all time. Way to be impressive, Axl Rose!
From the archives: turn an inexpensive scarf into a summer shrug with a few whip stitches. Perfect to wear with sundresses.
A super long list of weirdly helpful websites.
“Cat people are smarter than dog people.” (Note the quotation marks — someone else said it!)
Speaking of which, cat ladies come in lots of shapes and sizes.
Forest flamingos. Beautiful but sad.
I might need to learn to knit just so I can make myself a Ziggy Stardust doll. No, I’m not kidding.
Speaking of Ziigy, here is David Bowie singing with Marianne Faithful dressed as a sequined nun. I can’t tell you why it’s amazing, but I can’t stop watching it.
15 Things you may not know about the movie Caddyshack.
Reminder: If you are thinking about ordering photo enlargements, use my favorite resource and do it before June 17 (that’s when the 25% off code expires). I recently ordered a bunch more prints for work purposes and they just keep getting better.
Ziggy…Marianne….speechless. I hope the world gets off your back soon. We’ll be here and happy to have you back when it does. Until then, take care of yourself.
Ditto- take care of you!
