Heh... Furry Members

When you're trying to order a "Balls of Fury" cake (anyone remember that movie?), only to end up with:

Now that's a WHOLE different ball game.

And speaking of balls...

Er, balloons, I mean. Balloons.

(But I bet you saw something else all limp and saggy at first, didn't you?)

I swear, I'm not doing this on purpose.

Well, ok, maybe a little.

(That's my creepy, unblinking grin face.)

And finally, here's the lovely design Kimberly ordered for her wedding cake:

Aaaand here's the photo finish she ended up with:

Shoot, talk about an unfortunate development! Not to focus on the negatives, Kimberly, but I shutter to think of such a wreck ever leaving a dark room and gaining this kind of exposure. Here's hoping it was gone in a flash.

Thanks to Lisa O., Jennifer, Amanda M., Lindsey S., & Kimberly L. for finding one for the Scrap Book.

P.S. We like floofs here, yes?

This is our cat Suki, and she luuuuurves these sticks so much I figured I should tell y'all about them.

Silvervine Cat Chew Sticks

If your cats don't react to catnip, try these; they're branches from a different plant with the same effect. My cats happen to love both, but I prefer Silvervine since the sticks are less messy than loose catnip, plus help clean their teeth.

Even better, a 10-pack of sticks is only $6, and they last forever. It's been 2 years and I'm still on my second pack. Every couple months I'll scrape off a little bark to expose more of the wood underneath, which freshens the effect; the cats are EXTRA interested afterward. (The sticks have no smell for humans, btw.) Highly, HIGHLY recommend for your feline friends.

The Eyes Have It

It's National Eye Exam Month, guys! So how 'bout we give the old peepers a check up?

First, read the following aloud:

[scribbling on clipboard] Good, good....

Now these:

Hmm, not so good.

Let's try something else: read these numbers from right to left:

Excellent.

Now, find the fly.

Very good! Hard to believe the baker missed that.

Next let's test your visual pain tolerance. Tell me, which of these hurts more to look at?

A.

Or B.

Innnnteresting.

And finally, how many fingers am I holding up?

Good news, your eyes are fine! 
But these bakers may want to get their heads examined.

Thanks to Judy M., Miranda N., Amanda L., Ellin P., Wes T., Elissa R., Kimberly L., Spring P., & Claudia P. for seeing what we did there.

And for those of you who happen to wear glasses: I just found the most fabulous flamingo holder, omigosh:
