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.

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!

Clint Eastwood Wall Mural
I love myself some Clint Eastwood. I have ever since I walked through the living room as a pre-teen and my dad had on a western. After one look at the television, I plopped sideways in my favorite chair and watched every single second. I was hooked on the eyes, the hair, the swagger, the voice the drama… yeah, that’s it, I was hooked on the drama.
So much so that watching westerns with my dad became a favorite thing for me to do. The thing is, daddy thought it was all westerns I that I loved, so he’d call out, “Joi! Grab you a Dr. Pepper and get ready… this is a good one.” To dad, every western was a good one. I never let him in on the secret that westerns with Clint Eastwood in them were the good ones – I simply watched each and every one he ever had on. We had a lot of great Sunday afternoons, with or without Mr. Eastwood.
The dramatic and gorgeous Wall mural above is just the thing to let everyone around you know that…
- You’re in charge.
- They’re being watched.
I’m thinking of getting one for my kitchen.

I think my husband would all kinds of freak out for this guy. Check him out!
The Holmes HL1261H Robot Desk Lamp
is an interactive lamp with and adjustable head, body arms and legs so you can change him around from day to day. If you’re having a “Me against the World!” day, he can carry his head high, put his hands on his hips (?) and beckon the world to bring it on.
If you’re having one of those days where you want to hide under your desk, he can hang his head and coyly put his arms behind his back. Or you could scoot him close to the edge and let him peer under the desk, looking for you.
He’s the perfect way to bring more fun and laughs into your office – everyone will want one of their own so badly, you may have to arm yours to protect him from abduction. His little hands can actually clutch things, so he could hold a little sword, I guess.
Other Features:
- Clip On Hands for Holding Pens, Notes, Swords
- In Line On Off Switch
- Chrome Satin Finish with Black Joints & Cord
- Rated for 20 Watt High Intensity Bulb (included)
- Product Dimensions: 12 x 5.6 x 9.1 inches
- Shipping Weight: 6 pounds
