Make no mistake about it, I’m a first rate animal lover. Cats, polar bears, pigs, possums, sharks, birds, raccoons, dolphins, skunks, dogs… I approach life as though God has given all of them to me as my own personal pets. (Reptiles? Unwanted gifts but who am I to question God?) So, I go about my day watching, feeding, ooohing, awwing, petting, and trying to save & protect all of my… in the words of the great Elly Mae… critters.
If you, or someone you know, feels similarly, you’ll want to grab at least one of these beautiful Wave of Light Dolphins
from the Discovery Channel Store.
What a beauty!
From the website: Bring the calmness of the sea to any room with the Wave of Light Animatronic dolphin. This dolphin is a work of art and will be a joy forever. Combining lights, sound and movement, the visual experience is both hypnotic and mesmerizing, creating a relaxing tranquil environment for any room in your home or office. The dolphin is made up of twenty moving slivers that simulate the motion of the ocean. 3 Modes to choose from: Watch it move in a well-lit room with the Sound & Movement Mode. Bring it into the bedroom shut the light off and watch the Movement, Sound and Light Mode take over – completely relaxing you. Simply use it in the Movement Only Mode and be mesmerized by the slow graceful movement of the Dolphin Built-in Sleep Timer Mode – With the push of a button you can set it to turn off in a half hour or one hour automatically.

At the risk of getting personal, when you get right down to it – we’re all pretty much amused by ourselves. The sight of ourselves on a personalized gift such as the Personalized Mouse Pad featuring your own Golf Magazine Coverabove falls under the category “hoot.” If you’re finishing up your Christmas shopping (or you haven’t even begun…what?!?!) and you’re wanting something extremely unique and personal – I have the website for you. These people are nuts and I like it.
You provide a photograph of the individual (or their pet) – then you decide if you want to present them with a poster of the personalized magazine, a framed picture, a t-shirt, or a mousepad – such as this one.
From the Website:
YourCover started in 2000 with the belief that everyone deserves to star on his or her very own magazine cover. Initially, YourCover had its employees creating each issue individually, using photos and information provided by customers. This process of making fake magazine covers was highly labor intensive – and the price point reflected the considerable labor cost.
In order to lower the price of our personalized magazine covers, we renovated our site to enable users to create their own fake magazine covers online. The revised YourCover site debuted in June 2006; now, with our fully automated and interactive site, you may log in to YourCover.com and create a magazine cover – by simply uploading your own photos and adding text (using our templates and text suggestions).
YourCover professionally prints our full-color fake magazine covers on heavy glossy paper and places them in deluxe frames for shipping. Personalized magazine covers are unique gift ideas and make memorable party favors or distinctive table centerpieces. Make your own magazine cover at FREE Shipping on all orders!
. It’s a clever way to celebrate and commemorate an important person, occasion or milestone. And it’s a unique keepsake that’s sure to be remembered and enjoyed long after the event has passed.

You’re in your office when Mr. Big Shot calls and wants to do lunch. You look in the mirror and your a wrinkled mess. You can tell Mr. B.S. “no” and you don’t have time to go home and change. My personal option would be to drive directly to JC Penney and buy something new, but in our scenario we certainly don’t have time for that.
If we had a Hand Held Clothes Steamer lying in a drawer (or somewhere nearby), we’d be good to go -wrinkle free.
From Avon:
Take on wrinkles without the need for an ironing board. Just plug this compact steamer into any standard outlet to remove wrinkles from most fabrics, including hanging drapes. Steamer fits into your hand, for convenient travel or home use. Also helps cleaning by loosening tough stains. Includes 7 1/2′L power cord. 11 1/2″. Plastic, metal.
Apparently this steamer is available only at Avon and, get this, it’s less than $20. What?! Better grab one before they change their minds.

Bruce Springsteen Limited Edition on Canvas
Buy at AllPosters.com
Bruce Springsteen had one of the top 10 concerts this past year – grossing over 22 million. The Springsteen & E. Street Band’s Working on a Dream tour included a historic five-concert stretch at Giants Stadium and I’m not sure why I wasn’t invited. It could be that word got out about how I (mis)behaved at a recent Montgomery Gentry and Trace Adkins show.
I am living proof that you don’t have to drink alcohol to act a fool. Coffee and Diet Dr. Pepper will get the job done.
The Bruce Springsteen poster above is for the office that wants to rock it out. Sign me right up!

Laziness Poster
Buy at AllPosters.com
As a total cat person, I can’t get enough of cat pictures, cat posters, cat videos, cat cats. Simply put, my cats slap a big old smile on every single day of my life. Even the rottenest day is a great day when they’re around.
Apparently, given the success of cat blogs, lolcats, cat books, and cat posters, I’m definitely not alone.
The art print above promises to bring fun to any room – even if said room is one in which work is done. The caption says: Laziness – It means you are just more efficient with your time and how you spend your time and energy.
