Contest Winner / Daylight Savings



You guys, I had to reread through my contest announcement to see if somewhere I had, by mistake, asserted that the contest’s subtheme was Catherine Newman Lovefest 2013: “Only the most doting and affectionate comments will be considered!” Maybe you just sensed that I was thinking that? I love you too, so much.

Drum roll . . . random number generator. . . 157!

Pick me! Must read the profanity-laced, potato-peeling scene!

I only put in from 1 to 216 because I subtracted my own name, one of dale’s comments and, one of Beth’s comments, and, yes, my good friends at Zuupdesign. As always, the winner--Stacey, I'm talking to you--should email me (address at right!) with (his or) her address.

Meanwhile, while I am loving the bright evenings, I must complain that the time change is killing me softly this year. I am so tired that all I can talk about is tiredness, and how the tiringness of mornings and afternoons makes me really tired, and also how tired I am and feel. AND NOT ONLY THAT (sigh), but if you have the kind of insomnia that means you wake up at 4 every night to read for an hour, the time change means that now you’ll wake at 5, which means that an hour later it’s 6 and there’s no time to go back to sleep. 

The cat is also very, very tired. He’s like one of those Salvador Dali clocks, melting onto every surface. Or like Tom, after he gets run over by Jerry driving a steam roller, and then he slides down the stairs.

ALSO (almost done) it’s nice that it’s not so cold, but then the heat doesn’t kick on, so then while you’re reading in bed at 5-really-4, your shoulders are freezing. Did I ever tell you about Michael’s solution to the conflict between my cold night shoulders and his accessible-boobs requirement? How he cut out a groping window from the front of a long-sleeved shirt of mine? I know. He’s a problem-solver.

  1. Good thing Michael figured THAT out, because it's apparently to hard to slide his hands up under your shirt. I guess he needed *instant* access? ;oP

    Also, that Land O Lakes lady? She sure is perky for never having worn a bra!

    Take a nap. Then you'll only be *tired,* not TIRED.

  2. Oh! A butter girl! My mom used to make those for me and send them to me when I was in college, which all my dorm-mates found HILARIOUS. There is always one on our refrigerator, waiting for my son to be old enough to be embarrassed by it.

  5. Okay, so many things to say!! First of all, the time change kills me! I haven't always had this problem, but over the past years I have developed more of an internal clock.

    I never saw the Butter girl before!! It took me a few minutes to figure it out!

    My husband demands instant access as well! He will be sound asleep and his hand will clasp on!

    Finally, did you know that long haired kitties are generally lower muscle tone than domestic short hairs! I don't have any "relaxed" kitties like that right now, and I miss that lovely drapey feeling!

  6. I think I need an explanation of the butter girl? Whats that all about? And as for the easy access tshirt that is too funny. Im with the other commenter hand up the shirt from underneath not easy access enough? Although I am guessing there is way more of a visual component going on with a "viewing section" cut out... win win anyway your shoulders stay warm and he well gets to cop an eyeful LOL he is a clever problem solver

    You should just buy nursing nightgowns! Warmth + easy access, but you can still be "decent" if someone knocks on your door early or something. The Land-o-Lakes thing is hilarious.

  10. I and my boyfriend were meant to be forever but he met another girl at his work place. She did everything to break us apart B'cos she was younger and attractive, and finally my boyfriend moved in with her. I tried few cheap spells but to no avail then I ordered the most powerful love spell from robinsonbuckler@yahoo.com and I don't regret it! i and my boyfriend are back together and happier than ever. if you are heart broken and you want your lover back contact this spell caster Robinson, he is A top spell caster of the season, he has such a perfect view on love spells that I believe he can solve any case given to him. I recommend his love spell to couples in need of help. Use his services, call him +1(971-512-6745) and you will have your lover back.

    I worked for a large Fitness Company which provided me with a good salary, a company car, laptop, mobile phone and a residence were i stay. All I had to do was work 7 days a week, 10 hours a day. The company was very ‘sales driven’ and as long as I created good ‘numbers’ nothing could happen to me. But making sales meant that the people who already joined our clubs didn’t get the attention they needed, and left. I preferred to embrace the existing members instead of the stress of gaining enough new members. To make a long story short, I wasn’t useful for the company anymore (although my clubs gained profit month after month) so I got kicked out of the company in a very bad way. They took the company car, laptop, mobile phone, and the residence. I thought to myself i am good at what i do any i can get a spot at another company but i was wrong every interview i went for all i heard them say was that i am too old to make the number of sales that will be required that they needed younger and vibrant person. They did not even give the chance to prove myself and calling me old , i am just 46 . I had my family to care for my part time work was not doing it for me i knew i needed a job with go pay it was the only way out of the mess i was in. I came across an article on the Internet were some one was talking about how he got the job he lost back and that a spell caster called Akpe Osilama helped them casted a spell that get him is job back. Honestly it sounded crazy to me and impossible because i did not even believe in all those kind of stuff. But things began to go bad i was always fighting with my wife over silly things and i was not getting call from any company no body wanted me. Out of desperation i contact the spell caster with hopes that some how some way i was going to get something out of it . I just want to say this, world is bigger that we all think there are forces and power we can not explain i say this because Akpe Osilama got me back my job and also made me the assistance sales manager of that same fitness Company that fired me. He did not ask me to pay anything for the spell he did for me which was surprising but he told me those who gave him the power did not ask anything of him so he is just trying to help helpless as much as he can. However i was to get some materials that was going to be used for spell but i asked him to get them for me with the total cost i sent to him because if i was to get them myself i would have broken some laws and gotten into trouble. Just after he finish the spell he sent me a package with instructions on how to use make it effective. Just after 24 hours the CEO of the company came personally to my house asking me to come and work for the company again and promising to increase my salary and making me the assistance sales manager. Just like that my life was back on track. Call me a fool or anything you please i do not regret contacting the spell caster for help my advice, do the same using this as contact medium { CHIEFPRIESTAKPEOSILAMASPELLCAST@YAHOO.COM } PLEASE ALL OUT THERE THAT WISH TO USE THE SERVICES OF THIS GREAT SPELL CASTER CALLED AKPE OSILAMA, BEWARE OF SOME PEOPLE THAT MIGHT COPY THIS COMMENT AND CHANGE JUST ONLY THE NAME OF THIS SPELL CASTER AND HIS MAILING ADDRESS. AND ALSO READ CAREFULLY AND OBSERVE THE DATE IT WAS POSTED. BE ORIGINAL AND NOTE THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT ARE NOT REAL SPELL CASTER APART FROM AKPE OSILAMA THAT HELPED ME, I CAN BOLDLY SAY THE REST ARE CON ARTIST AS IT WAS ONLY AKPE THAT HELPED ME. I AM TRYING TO EMPHASIS ON THIS BASE ON THE FACT THAT I DON'T WANT YOU THAT NEED HELP TO FALL INTO THE WRONG HANDS. BE WISE !

    I just can not stop talking or singing the praise of Doctor Ororo because what he did for me was what no other spell caster could do. My marriage became hell for me when my wife met her ex boyfriend in the bank and so she fell in love with him and told me she wanted a divorce, we were married for 11 years but she was not bothered. i was short of words and didn't know was to do because i was in pain and started doing some research in the internet when i saw different testimonies about Doctor Ororo so i contact him and explain my situation to him and he assured me that i will see result within 12 to 16 hours. i thought he was joking and i did all he ask me to do, to my greatest surprise everything happen 14 hours later, my wife fell on her knees begging me to forgive her. My fellow citizen if you need help then the right person to contact is Doctor Ororo via email: doctorororospelltemple@outlook.com or via website: http://doctorazuaworldofpowerfulspell.webs.com or via Whats App or call: +2348068784784
