Geez, I think this whole magazine headline thing is becoming a series. I made a category for it over on the sidebar.
Before I begin, however, let me just say Jackelope had a smashing party today. His birthday is tomorrow and we will go swimming for some more fun. He was a little confused, though. He kept asking,
“So, when are all the customers going to get here?”
Not really sure when his relatives turned into customers, but hey, I’m sure they’ve been called worse. He was polite, and gracious, dashing and very, VERY excited about all his cool new stuff. That’s my Jackelope. Mr. Charm himself. Most of the time. Well, maybe only when he’s getting cool new stuff. I love him to pieces.
Ok. Enough gush. Here’s some headline humor.
Most of the mags were the same as last week, but one I hadn’t noticed caught my eye. Only part of it was visible though. And on that part all I could see was:
“Charles Dumps”
For two hours, inbetween every customer, every time I waited for someone to make their check out, in fact, every time I lifted my eyes, I saw those two words. Nice.
Then I found out that there are 143 Ways to Rock Summer ‘07.
Really? 143?
Here’s my five.
1. get to take a bath for longer than five minutes without a gremlin shouting through the door that his brother stole his imaginary friend. Again.
2. eat way too much leftover frosting from making a birthday cake and therefore propel yourself into the best sugar high EVER, and laugh uncontrollably at your unsuspecting husband’s completely normal questions.
3. finally get rid of poison ivy that made you look like a leper
4. your grandma gives you her old digital camera and now you can finally take crazy photos and see them instantly without waiting to get film developed.
5. And if you really want Summer ‘07 to rock, and frankly, who doesn’t?, stay in a nice, cool air conditioned house because Kansas humidity is not to be trifled with and it DOES NOT rock.
