Yesterday was Toilet Husband Day

OK, so this is both weird and extra-stupid.  Yesterday morning, DJB and I visited friends Kamille and Aaron. Kamille gave DJB a Toilet Böys shirt. It's so awesome that I want to wash and dry it on hot so that it will shrink and fit only me. I am a rude and selfish betch. That's how much I love Toilet Böys, especially lead singer Miss Guy. Total icon. 

About 12 hours later, we attended my office holiday party, which was a total blast. There was a white elephant gift exchange. Here's what DJB got...

Yes, a Toilet Monster. I am excited. I will use the hell out of that thing. I am dead serious. 

Fact: My husband was totally putting out toilet vibes yesterday. Seksi, no?

The New Zealand Penguins Are Free!

Remember the penguins that were rescued following the New Zealand oil spill? 49 were recently returned to the wild! Thanks to all the global support they received---from funds to sweaters---they get to be home again. 

Oh, warm and happy thoughts! Ear-to-ear grins! Yeeeeee!

Happy Ending of the Day

Remember the tear-jerking tale of the Russian ginger seal pup who was rejected by its family and community for being different? 

Good news: it has a new home. Joy to the world! 

Originally named Nathan, the pup was rescued and moved to the country's leading aquarium. There, they discovered he was a she and renamed her Nafanya, after a lookalike Soviet-era cartoon character. Now, little Nafanya is reportedly thriving, has a great appetite and enjoys playing with her toys, especially a small, blue ball. 

Best news of all: she has a webcam! You can check out Nafanya in all her blue-eyed, ginger-furred glory daily between 2 and 8 a.m. EST. 

I don't know about you, but I'm a little misty-eyed with happiness. Somebody get me a tissue! 

I'd like to make it clear that while I'm not a fan of keeping wild animals captive, there are certainly exceptions. This seal was a guaranteed goner if she was left to fend for herself. Poor little lady. I'm glad she was rescued.

Speaking of Cakes...

Whenever you make or purchase a cake, please do your best to ensure someone's name is on it. Regardless of the occasion, cakes are always better with names on them. 

Case in point: dinner at Setia's house a few nights ago. That was the occasion: simply friends meeting for dinner. They whipped up a tasty meal. We provided dessert. 

The look on his face when he saw his name on that cake: très adorbs. 

Try this. I think you'll agree that it absolutely needs to become a new dessert mandate.

More Owl News

Naturally, Molla, the Italian baby Screech Owl from the video posted this morn, has a Facebook page now. 

Though I want to launch into a tirade, whenever I think of that owl, I'm unable to feel any anger or criticism. Instead, my mind is filled with images of puffy cuteness. It's not OK.

Head Shave of the Day

DJB shaved Meghan's head today. Meghan returns to Austin tomorrow. Cali turns 40 tomorrow... in Austin. Meghan is his present. Bon voyage, Meghan. Thanks for holding down the fort.

Somebody here looks like Jeremy Piven, and it isn't Meghan. Just sayin'.

You Might Be Impressed

Tonight, I made oatmeal cookies from scratch. I dumped trail mix into the batter. You might need to try this recipe. It's pretty damn delicious.

It's the time of year where warm, fresh cookies are highly apropos. 

I also just returned from Bali and can't stop eating fattening American fare. 

Jonathan Rockwell is going to weep when he sees me. Seriously.

I Dream of BB

Last night, Meghan and I had an incredibly inspiring conversation with Brigitte "BB" Bellsong.  The moral: Life is short. Live it like YOU want to. Go for it now.

Cheers, BB! Thanks for the chat. We are totally enamored.

Friendship Can Be a Drag

In my world, when friendship is a drag, that means it's fabulous! 

Fervent accolades to my dear friend, Bradd Howard (a.k.a. Chastity Belt-Off), for an outstanding performance as Ashley St. Ives in The Dolls‘ annual Halloween play, Satan’s School for Girls — The Reunion. 

The play runs at the Aux Dog Theatre through October 30th.
