My Poetry

Hey Bookends! I thought it was time that you got to know me on a more personal level. And I thought what better way to do that than to share some of my poetry with you?

My love for you blooms like a red, red rose
That rose is very, very red.

How oft I have recalled your tender caress
your beautiful tooth and your gentle shins.

Your eyes are two, like your ears
but we two are one, like your foot.

Will this rose, like all things wither and die?
Like that rabbit I forgot to feed.

Or will it bloom and breed?
Like yeast in a sandstorm.


Please, let me know what you think. Stay tuned Bookends!

EGGS!


Sorry about that last post

I haven't been taking my medication.

WHO'S BEEN ON MY BLOG!!!

I demand you show yourself! Someone has been here and voted in my poll!!! I feel so violated, yet strangely excited. Worst of all they voted for Candy Corn. Who the hell likes Candy Corn? I just put it in the poll so it would lose. It should really be called Crappy Corn. And who goes onto someones blog, votes in a poll and quietly slinks away?!?! What kind of person are you? You should be ashamed, you didn't even have the common decencey to become a Bookend, you pig. Why were you here? How did you get here? Why did you leave??? Why do they all leave??? Will you come back? I'll do anything, just, please, come back...

Words I Hate

Hey Bookends! Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I don't have much new to write about. I was just thinking about words I hate. Here are a few:
Dank
Fondle
Jerryrig
Tinkle
What are some of your least favorite words?

The Results So Far

Peeps and Tootsie Rolls are still neck and neck in the polls. Remember: every vote counts. You can make a difference. Vote today, Bookends!

My Weekend Project

I found the most wonderful old chair after a morning antiquing on saturday and decided to refinish it to its former glory. It was a big project, but I felt so satisfied after completing it. Not only that, but I had taken an antique chair that I had gotten for a steal ($100) and probably doubled its worth!!! Here are some photos of Brittney and Cameron. They are the adorable folks who sold me the chair!







Here are the before and after photos:

Let me know what you think! Stay tuned Bookends!

A Reminder

There's only 28 days left to vote in my Halloween poll. So far peeps and tootsie rolls are neck and neck with 50% of the votes each (1 for peeps, 1 for tootsie rolls). Rock the vote Bookends!

Send out the clowns

Hey Bookends! Today I went to the circus. I had a great time, but I always wonder if I'm evil for wanting to see a lion tamer get mauled by one of his big cats. Or at least see an elephant go on a rampage. We all know who's really on top of the food chain, so how about giving us a little reminder? And take out the clowns while you're at it. That's all for now... Stay tuned Bookends!

All is forgiven

My "best Bookend" started a new blog just to follow mine. If that isn't devotion, I don't know what is. All my readers should check out her blog "jazz". It has the cutest pictures of her pets and great little personality profiles on them. Stay tuned Bookends!

By the way

My so called "best bookend" actually deleted her blog rather than be associated with me. Can you believe it?

Halloween Candy

Okay Bookends, I can see how this blogging thing can be addicting. To those of you who haven't been here in a while a I just added a poll to my page asking what everyone's favorite halloween candy is. So far Peeps are winning with 100% of the votes (1 vote, from me)! If I haven't listed your favorite halloween candy in my poll feel free to send me a note to let me know what it is. I may not have time to respond to everyone, but I promise I'll read them all. I'll probably be back within the hour so... Stay tuned bookends!

my first post

This is my first post. I suppose I should be true to my blog explanation and talk about horsehead bookends, but I can't. I'm completely computer illiterate and trying to set this up is frustrating. I'm trying to add my first follower "bookend". This "bookend" has been my best friend since we were 5, but it seems that doesn't mean anything anymore. Apparently she is too ashamed of me and my horsehead bookends to have her blog associated with my blog. I'm shocked that a friendship of over 30 years has come to an end over this.
