YoU DoN'T BRiNG Me FLoWeRS


Hola Chickens.

If you are greedy CURIOUS like my dear friend Kristin , you might be wondering whatever happened to plans to celebrate my FIVE HUNDRETH BLOG POST.

Of course, there was controversy at first as Kreg got out his abacus and questioned the VALIDITY of it being my 500th post...but I set him straight about that AND the whole Kennedy Assassination thing. So now I owe him a drink next time I spot Elvis, and even though this just may be my 505th post, we're gonna say that this is my 496 post because... O MY GAWD THESE NUMBERS ARE HURTING MY HEAD.

So how are we celebrating and who wins that plaque?

I should give the plaque to my dear friend Ruth (RPC in comments) who wrote me and asked what the traditional gift is for a 500th blog anniversary. DIAMONDS I answered (even though I meant cash) So Ruth showed up at my studio yesterday with DIAMONDS.



52 of those babies. CAN THERE BE A GREATER GIFT THAN TO GIVE SOMEONE A PUN? I think not, Chickens. Ruth clearly knows the way to my hearts--in spades. And to further seal the deal she gave me this:



This is Ruth and her gift for me. That is a bottle of fine award winning Strawberry Wine that SHE MADE HERSELF with no help from Mr. Bartle and Mr. James. I lerves me some wine RUTH! Yay Ruth! Woot! Woot! Too bad she doesn't have a blog, so we gave her a wine glass.

You can win the plaque by SENDING ME A PAPER CARD OR POSTCARD YOU HAVE MADE BY YOURSELF. No Hallmark missives for me, chickens--get out your crayons, your markers, your half tubes of lipsticks and scrawl a few words and send them to me here:
Lorrie Veasey
c/o OUR NAME IS MUD
224 WEst 29th Street
5th Floor
NYC NY 10001
MUST BE RECEIVED BY NEXT THURSDAY AUGUST 13.

Extra points if you use G L I T T E R.

Now you have plans for the weekend!

can it just be a Xerox of my boobs? Because I've got tons of those laying around.

ZDub said...

Kreg always has to be all right and shit.

I heart you.

I'm so taking this.

You bitches (and Kreg) are going down.

Game on.

ZDub said...

Also, Ruth is AWESOME.

Nobody ever brings me shit.

Krëg said...

Is there a size limit?
Will I be disqualified if I use Photoshop to create the image and then print it off, instead of hand painting it myself?

sheila said...

Oh, I now feel the pressure of being crafty. And I'm someone who is not crafty.

But ZDub, I'm taking the plaque.

rpc said...

Aha! Now it all makes sense. Anonymous is Michael Jackson talking to us from beyond the grave.

Since we're all being pedantic about numbers, I have to point out that in fact there were only 13 diamonds (I know, I'm a cheapskate).

Also, my peach wine is vastly improved by drinking it from my beautiful wine glass. Thank you!

ZDub said...

Sheila-Bring it, woman! (Although I have a feeling I will probably forget until Wednesday at midnight...)

Kreg-You are SUCH a kiss ass.

Debbie said...

The mail? What is this, some conspiracy to keep them in business? I better just ell you here that I love you and happy whatever number you decide on. I'm just not good with the whole stamp thing.

Bj in Dallas said...

I'M CRACKING UP ON THE MICHAEL JACKSON COMMENTS...

Maybe our cards should have an MJ theme, ....to keep the weird flow going...too funny RPC

ZDUB, Game on. We, here in Texas, pride ourselves on Glitter.

how bout i just bring you flowers? i was in seattle the other day and went down to that fish market thing (Pike Street) and Oh Eeemm Geee! The flowers were amazing. and SO affordable that i was weeping at the fact that I was going to be ziplining from coast to coast and coast etc. and that there really wasn't any point in buying them to stuff them in an overhead bin for a few days.

but i'd bring them for you.

i actually JUST made my first homemade card, like eVAH, last week. if you'd seen it you'd think i was one of those total scrapbooky women, but then you'd be thinking wRoNG! but it was different colors of card stock, ribbon, and a family photo which i made into a card and wrote a note to my husbands BFF and sent him as a thank you. i don't have time to join the crafty card race this weekend before i go insane in the skies again. besides, with Miss Thystle's mam's in contention, anything i could conjure up would get me nowhere near finish line in this race for the gold.

but i still love you. and someday i will bring you flowers. and toffee. so now you have something exciting to look forward to. i know. you totally can't wait!

sheila said...

BJ, you act as though once I WIN this that I will share it with you...well, I probably will.

Gotta run, off to by glitter pens & construction paper.

lorrie,
you never told us you spoke chinese. mandarin, of course!

kristin said...

Oh, GREAT. @@

I do NOT work well under the pressure of a deadline.


It kills all of my creative juices.

:-9

Ruby said...

Dang, Lorrie, you sure did make some anonymous people MAD. I think I see cussing amongst those characters!

If only the USPS could get my homemade card from GA to NY in two days, I might have a chance at winning... Who am I kidding? Miss Thystle's boobs win out A#1. Unless Sheila and BJ put the Texas on it, and then it's a toss up!

Miss Thystle said...

Um. I just mailed mine today. So it's going to be late. BUT IT'S THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS. Right?

kristin said...

Damn.

I forgot to ask my daughter where she put the glitter (you know, WHEN I WAS IN NYC!) {insert glare here} and now I'm not going to see her for TWO weeks!

PS - I missed you, but I hope things went well on your end.

姐喔我想要學催眠的技術來幫助人,台南的整形診所真的非常的少所以想要整形的人都要到台中來尋醫,你需要找翻譯社嗎我認識一家叫台大翻譯社的收費蠻合理的,我想要寵物認養但是不知道要養瑪爾濟斯還是紅貴賓也可以給我一些建議嗎?白蟻是一種害蟲會吃光木頭家俱關鍵字服務讓你的生意好的不得了,你要買情趣用品嗎有一家叫愛欲情趣用品專賣店蠻不錯的宜蘭民宿業者說最近生意不太好但是相反的花蓮民宿業者卻說他們的生意好,真是奇怪了的奇怪,你在尋找人力仲介業者嗎我認識一家不錯的吃酵素可以讓你的肚子不再拉喔外勞喜歡假日時到中山北路找看護約會,因為那邊是外勞和許多看護在台灣的假日唯一能有交流的地方人力仲介業者也知道這一點,但是也是不說什麼,瘦小腿是許多女性朋友的夢想,想到失眠睡不著都有可能真的要找醫生比較好。
