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. Bring the calmness of the sea to any room with the Wave of Light Animatronic dolphin.

The Son of Man, 1964 Framed Art Print
Magritte, Rene
Buy at AllPosters.com
In a comment, Daisy pointed out how the Funky Wooden Cabinet (3 posts down) reminded her of the painting, The Son of Man, 1964. It totally does!
These would be out of this world grouped together. Sure, you might creep some people out of their wits… but that’s a chance you’re willing to take.
Click through the image above for other options with this great print. It’s available framed, unframed, as a stretched canvas, and simply as an art print.

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.

If you’re a fan of the Fighting Irish, you’ll no doubt want this in your office. It’s the Notre Dame Stadium Mural
and even I (a die-hard University of Kentucky Wildcat fanatic) have to admit this is a real beauty.
Notre Dame fans will also want to check out a post on All Handhelds: Mobile Office Supplies featuring some great looking Notre Dame laptop skins. The only way they could be better looking would be if they featured UK Wildcats. MEEE-OWWW.

Product Description:
