A truck loaded with thousands of copies of Roget's Thesaurus crashed yesterday losing its entire load. Witnesses were stunned, startled, aghast, taken aback, stupefied, confused, shocked, rattled, paralyses, dazed, bewildered, mixed up, surprised, awed, dumbfounded, nonplussed, flabbergasted, astounded, amazed, confounded, astonished, overwhelmed, horrified, numbed, speechless, and perplexed.

On blank days where I don't have a story handy or whatever, I cruise the internet to find unusual stuff you might not see? Do you use matches? Keep candles, lanterns and fires alight with these luxury long Inseparables Matches. Presented in a colorful and retro style matchbox with two parrots perched together. 

 Found on Graham & Green.

These add a decorative touch to your fireside and make a sweet gift for your perfect match.  

A decorative, letterpress-printed box of long, luxury matches, perfect for lighting fires or hard to reach candle wicks. 

  

         

Oversized safety matches stored in a decorative box with quirky designs printed using traditional letterpress techniques.

 

Matchbox Seat Pads  

With designs inspired by colorful retro matchboxes, these quirky pinched seat pads will instantly uplift any space. Place on kitchen chairs, armchairs and benches to add a layer of sumptuous comfort with a vibrant retro flair. Exclusive to G&G.

I am late today. I was so tired from yesterday I went to bed at 10 and woke up at 9am. And am just now doing this blog. Yesterday I had planned to recycle my 10 bags of water bottles, so I packed my little squirrel powered car full! I went to OCC recycling center, as always and they were "Temporarily closed"? I checked their website and it said the same. So, I was already in Costa Mesa with an hour before my hair appointment. What to do? as I approached a Target store. Yes, just a "quick" as I only needed one thing. Ha ha ha ha!Forty-five minutes later I left with about 20 items? Next to Huntington to have Julie try to work so magic in my tresses. She did And I drove home to be with Erin. We talked till it was time for our pedicure. What luxury.

WonderWoman had driven to SoCal Monday morning. She wanted to go with me to the  my doctor appointment on Monday. We had dinner Monday night at Shabu Shabu with GH#2, where we hadn't been in a long time. As always it was excellent.Tuesday I had planned to recycle my 10 bags of water bottles, so I packed my little squirrel powered car full!

 WW had dinner with her good friends Tuesday evening and stayed overnight at good friend Kerry's, as she had a charger. She left for home at 8 am and we talked for 47 minutes as she drove, and caught up on each other's news. TMI?
