Today I was running through the neighborhood and watched a man blow all the leaves from his front lawn onto his neighbor’s front lawn. And the neighbor’s lawn was so covered in leaves that it looked like a leaf lawn, no grass. And then I came to the conclusion that leaf-blowers are a much more dangerous tool than you would think and they are probably one of the main sources of negative energy in the universe.

I wonder what my mother’s list would say…?
Don’t get me wrong, I really do enjoy studying for finals and all, but girl has got to take a break in the name of leisure! And that being making cards! I found these great paper leaves, courtesy of Paper Source, and spent last night making more Thanksgiving cards than a card factory. Ch-ch-ch-check it!

Yes, that is an I-feel-slightly-guilty-for not-being-in-the-library face…
Direct quote from Sarah Palin’s new book: “If any vegans came over for dinner, I could whip them up a salad, then explain my philosophy on being a carnivore: If God had not intended for us to eat animals, how come He made them out of meat?”
Immediate purchase!
Like like like like like like LOVE.
It’s Caturday!
Excellent source of moral fiber.
