Hap-pee trails to you
Western toilet seats - A John Wayne toilet seat that celebrates the Duke everytime you’ve gotta go
One of my favorite eras of American history fell during the latter half of the 19th century in a period fondly referred to as the Wild West. Cowboys and Indians, saloons, gold rushes, Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday’s showdown at the OK Corall… it was a time.
It’s hard to find a good old time saloon nowadays, we need a license to shoot things up and outhouses are a thing of the past, but I can still celebrate the legends of the Wild Wild West whenever I hit the john thanks to this John Wayne Western Toilet Seat from Wild West Living.
When it comes to toilet seats, it’s #1.
When life gives you lemons, light a lemon scented candle
Lemon scented candles lightly scented with ginger, grapefruit and lemongrass
Some days, things just don’t go your way.
You realize your umbrella has a hole in it during a tropical storm.
You grab a doorknob at Disney World and get sick for a month.
The coffee maker splurts coffee grounds all over you.
You find out there’s 50lbs of honey in the walls of your house.
When life gives me lemons, I don’t make lemonade (too much sugar). Instead, I do two things.
1. I take a lemon-flavored Emergen-C packet for a burst of Vitamin C.
2. I light my Ginger, Grapefruit and Lemon Scented Candles from Nice Aromas.
It works every time.
I’m sorry Boss
Apology greeting cards that say I’m sorry when a work apology is in order
To err is human. This is my mantra.
What can I say, sometimes I mess up at work. Everyone does. There are months when I don’t make my sales quota, Jody forgets to take out the recycling bin, Samara makes typos and Matt leaves a rank smelling mess in the office fridge.
Normally, we would just bow our heads in shame, avoiding eye contact with the Boss man, but now we can all join hands together in acceptance of our office failures and send Apology Greeting Cards from CEO Cards that make amends, and keep us employed.
Come on baby light my camp fire
Camping fire starter gets your camp fire started in seconds
I’m a survivor.
When I go camping, I camp kick it back old school. Most campers would consider me a camping purist. I don’t believe in smuggling in luxury items like electronic devices, cushy bedding or toilet paper, and who needs matches or lighters?! I am man, I make fire!
When enjoying the great outdoors I rely on three simple things…
1. My survival instincts.
2. A handful of soft leaves.
3. This Camp Fire Starter from Big Edge Camping & Hiking.
This Light My Fire Maya Dust Fire starter helps you light camp fires with ease no matter what the weather conditions are. Even Charlie McGee (Drew Barrymore’s character in “Firestarter”) would be jealous.
I am not a paper cup
Porcelain coffee cups for eco-friendly coffee drinking
I am NOT a paper cup. I repeat, I am NOT a paper cup.
I may look like a paper cup, act like a paper cup and hold coffee like a paper cup, but I am most certainly not a paper cup. Enough about what I am not… here is what I am.
- I am a porcelain coffee cup.
- I am white.
- I come with my own silicone lid.
- I am eco-friendly.
- I am dishwasher safe.
- I am microwave safe.
- I am 3.5 x 3.5 x 6 inches tall.
- I am from Modcloth.
I am saving the environment, one disposable coffee cup at a time.
I’ll get you my pretty, and your heavy door too
Decorative door stopper to keep your doors wide open
Sometimes you have an open door policy, sometimes you’d rather keep things behind closed doors. When the annoying building alarm has mulfunctioned, door closed. When there’s juicy office gossip circulating in the room next door, my door is always open.
I love the musical Wicked, so I’m really loving this Wicked/Wizard of Oz inspired Decorative Door Stopper from Colorful Images. It does the trick every time, keeping my door securely ajar when I’m open for gossip, visitors and cute little black doggies. I only need to beware of the flying monkeys. Nigel hates those guys.
Fragrance ball of honey
Fragrance balls filled with honey scented fragrance sachets
When I walk in the front door after a hard day at work, I would love to be greeted with the smells of clean linens, warm cookies in the oven and spicy, intoxicating fragrances. Since I live with a teenage son and a fiesty labrador retriever, I’m usually greeted with the scent of eau de wet dog or parfum de dirty sneakers.
I love lighting sweet smelling candles around the house, but leaving a flame unattended while I’m at work isn’t an option, (especially considering my quirky smoke detectors) which is why I am obsessed with this lovely Fragrance ball from Chesapeake Bay Candle. It’s a fragrant life saver, making my home sweet home smell like a home sweet home, masking and overpowering any other disenchanting aromas.
Lay your head on Elvis’s shoulder
Elvis pillow for Elvis Presley fans like me
There are two types of people in this world - Elvis fans and Elvis haters.
My co-worker Nigel is an Elvis hater, although Nigel hates almost everything… including watermelon and unicorns. I fall into the first category, a loyal fan of the King’s, ever since I marveled at his waist up performance on the Ed Sullivan show in 1956. Decades later, Elvis and I would share a special moment together in Hawaii when I accidentally plowed into a tall, dark and handsome man with a killer pair of mutton chops. True story.
I’ve been wanting to add a little bit of rock and roll into my home decor, so I’m all shook up over this Elvis Pillow from Image Design & Furniture Co. Now I can lay my head on Elvis’s shoulder and reminisce about our lovely Hawaiian getaway.
It’s all in the card cases
Crystal business card holder holds women’s business cards in style
We’re all getting new business cards this week, and I’m excited. I love making new business contacts, almost as much as I love me a good peach martini (and the inevitable karaoke that soon follows). So in preparation of my brand spanking new executive business cards, I’m rewarding myself with this pretty women’s Crystal Business card holder from Add A Link of Charm that will express my love for both business, and pleasure.
Note to self, I’m angry
Stationery notes in note cubes that express your feelings
Sometimes it’s difficult for co-workers to read my moods. Some consider me a man of few words and many grunts. It’s actually relatively easy to tell whether I’m happy as a clam or mad as a scientist, just check out what post-it notes I’m using from my Magic Cube of Stationery Notes from Current.
For example, here’s a post-it summation of this work week.
Monday - Happy. Took a personal day.
Tuesday - Grumpy. 3794 emails to sort through from taking personal day.
Wednesday - Hungry. Wish Jody would get me some McDonalds.
Thursday - Indifferent. So I get swine flu, big whoop.
Friday - Annoyed. People are stupid.
Need a little herb?
Kitchen herb gardens for fresh kitchen herbs at your fingertips
Sometimes a girl needs a little herb.
Like Kentucky Fried Chicken’s Colonel Sanders, I have my own dash of secret recipes that would put his mix of 11 special herbs and spices to shame.
A quarter cup of cilantro for my spicy enchiladas
An ounce of Oregano for my super secret special spaghetti sauce
A bunch of Basil for my sweet Thai Basil Chicken
A pinch of Parsley always adds the perfect garnish…
and a whole lotta Linda love sprinkled to taste.
What’s the big secret? I only use fresh herbs thanks to easy to grow Kitchen Herb Gardens from Instant Flower Garden. They’re totally herbriffic.
