The Dog Says "Ribbit!"

This See 'n Say says it all wrong...

12 Animals. 1 Farmer.
Lots of Surprises.


Well, 12 actually.

You see, in this partikular krazy kontraption, none of the animals say what you’d expect them to. 
Kind of like they all went to private school.

Pull the cord and each animal gives the sound for the animal two spaces clockwise.
Even the Farmer who narrates is confused.


Featuring (in counter-clockwise order):

Rooster, Coyote, Horse, Frog, Duck, Dog, Sheep (you’d think at least the Sheep would conform!), Turkey, Cat, Bird, Cow, and Pig.

We assume this was all Coyote’s idea…

Ice Cream!

Space Pig - My Personal Meditation Space

Space Pig. It made me feel powerful after all.

This Ponder Written By Our Mystery Blonde Hostess, Pictured Above:


Recently after My Best Friend Shelly and I broke up as best friends, I took to meditating. My Second Best Friend Stewart brought it up actually.
He said: "Hey, like, instead of talking about what a Square Shelly is all the time, you could, you know, like, meditate on it, and, you know, maybe GROW from the experience or something!"
And I'm like: "Go tie dye your whitie-tighties, You Bonehead!"
(Actually I only thought of all that after. I just called him a Jerk and threw my Salt Pig at him).
But then I saw my adorable looking Salt Pig laying on my Flash Mustard Yellow and Harvest Gold checkered tile kitchen floor and thought, "What if I could, like, shrink myself down and meditate inside this thing?" I mean without the salt in it of course, which half of it was on the floor already and cuz that would, like, burn into my newly shrunken body or something.
So I imagined it, and later I thought, "Maybe Shelly isn't such a b*tch.....maybe I'm the B*tch!" And that felt really powerful, so, like, I'm gonna go with that. 
Thanks Stewart! Meditating is So Cool!

This Ponder Written By Our Mystery Blonde Hostess, Pictured Above:


I'm not gonna say what my "Friend" Stewart just said about this book cuz it's Gross!
Anyway, Connie•and•Andrew told me this was the Hot Ticket Item for the day and I'm gonna peddle it. Cuz it's Cool and it's Vintage.


So here it is - The Ultimate Guide to what I call the Big Change.
(though my Grammy says that's NOT the big change but you'll find out when you hit around fifty. She doesn't know that My Used-To-Be-Best-Friend Shelly and I hit around 75 the other day in the Woodie, and I didn't feel anything but Shel said she felt a little shake around 50 and we were only just getting onto the freeway then...)


This is my favorite pic in the book:

"You and your breasts. The beginning of a beautiful friendship."

That's true. Me and my breasts are Best Friends. They say three's a crowd but that's not true under my shirt.


Anyway I don't wear a bra anymore since I burned my last one at some far out freaky party somewhere in Boone before it was even cool.


p.s.My Used-To-Be-Best-Friend Shelly missed it, she had to babysit and still wears a bra!

Milk Glass of Cosmic Consciousness

This Ponder Written By Our Mystery Blonde Hostess, Pictured Above:

Orange You Glad to See this Owl?

This Ponder Written By Our Mystery Blonde Hostess, Pictured Above:

Orange Salt Shaker Owl, circa 1960's

A • P O E M • B Y • M E

Orange Owl Salt Shaker,

Sitting on my Curio Shelf -

Are You Lonely up there, Wise One?

Do You Wish to Visit Me?

Alight upon my Table,

Let me Fill you with Salt.

I'm sorry I Neglected You,

I Guess it's all my Fault.

Come! Spice up my Vegan Casserole!

Brighten up my Den!

Dear Orange Salt Shaker Owl,

You're My Best Vintage Friend!

My friend Shelly says I suck at Poetry. I guess she's right. But my English Teacher told me that it's really your Heart that counts, not your verse so much. 

Huh! maybe that dude isn't so square. Maybe YOU suck at Poetry, Shelly!

Cuz I always write with my Heart.
