And Bobbie Faye brought food!

This is so cracking me up.

My Amazon order just arrived–Bobbie Faye’s (kinda, sorta, not exactly) Family Jewels–and she brought breakfast:

and lunch:

There are coupons in with the order for a free Southern Style chicken biscuit for breakfast and a free Southern Style chicken sandwich for lunch or dinner.

McDonald’s and Bobbie Faye.

Now that’s a dynamic duo.

(Dying here.  Just dying.)

Bobbie Faye is back!

Bobbie Faye’s (kinda, sorta, not exactly) Family Jewels is hot on the shelves today! Yay!

My book is in the mail to me from Amazon, which makes me feel very lucky because I just checked and there are only 4 copies left. (I mean, I’m sure they’ll restock, but, wow! That’s fantastic sales. Today is the official launch and it has already almost sold out on Amazon? Toni rocks!)

Find it at a bookstore or Amazon link near you!  (Fast. Because, you know, they’re selling fast.)

How vulgar is your tongue?

Whilst looking for info on the use of the word “fuck” in the Regency time period, I stumbled across this quiz.

How Vulgar is Your Tongue?

I took it.  I got 100% incorrect.  (Okay, I did one correct, the one about Ireland if you must know.)

I clearly would not have been allowed in polite society in Regency England, nor would I have known whether I was being complimented, insulted or propositioned.

Of monitors and reading glasses.

I wear magnifying reading glasses. That’s all. No correction other than to enlarge, but I really need a lot of magnification — 3.75. I order them over the internet because I rarely find any strong enough in the grocery stores, alas.

I’m due an eye exam and one of the things the doc always asks is how far away my computer screen is, to help him determine what magnification I need.

I’m getting a new monitor. A widescreen big-ass monitor to sit on my desk, hooked up to my laptop.

(Actually, it came already, was delivered damaged, got sent back, and I’m waiting for the replacement. Impatiently.)

And it occurs to me that maybe I’ll need a different magnification for my new monitor since it will be sitting farther away from my face.

Or maybe I’ll just increase the font size or decrease it until it works with my glasses.

How does that work, anyway?

I’ll be holding off on that eye exam until I adjust to the new monitor, I think.

Any advice from other bespectacled people who have already made this adjustment?

Political, ignore if you’d rather: I love it when men of God show class.

“It’s the exact same thing, Chris!”

Maybe an idiot conservative talk show host in LA can’t be blamed for being an ignorant blowhard; it’s the job description, I guess. But as he finally manages to point out (while hiding behind Bush’s skirts) is that he’s only defending what Bush said, which makes you wonder, is Bush also an ignorant blowhard or simply counting on his followers to be ignorant.

Nine and a half minutes worth spending. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry.

It’s maddening watching a blowhard blow harder and harder in an attempt to avoid admitting he doesn’t have a clue.

“Kevin, when you’re in a hole, stop digging,” indeed.

(Of course the Huffington Post got there first.  Snerk. Thanks, Candace!)
