NEED CRAFTS NOW
This afternoon, after recovering from my delicious food coma (Stephen is the best!) I responded to an email from a frustrated woman who was somehow linked to Xanga from an Ask.com search went awry.
Try as I might, I couldn’t come up with the search terms she’d used or even figure out how she got to the main page by searching for “a pattern for a toilet seat with Santa covering his eyes on the flip side”. She said that Xanga was very confusing and that she didn’t have a clear idea of how to find this information.
I don’t even know that such a thing exists, but I tried my best to guide her in the right direction and recommended some search terms that may help her on her quest to decorate her assuredly festive bathroom.
BTW, parenthetical mini-commercial, but everyone should go out and buy the most.comfortable.t-shirt.ever. American Apparel sells these tri-blend shirts (50% polyester, 25% cotton, 25% rayon) and they’re even softer than the oldest t-shirt you already own. I hate the word “splurge”, because most people use it liberally and think that you can just spend $300 on a pair of jeans – “it’s an inveeeeeeeestment!” no it’s not! – but this is $18 well spent. And, let’s face it, if you just graduated from college and think bagels and ice cream from the carton is dinner, $18 is a splurge. [shudder]

it’s disturbing that
a) a toilet seat cover like that might exist and
b) that someone would actually WANT it.
lord only knows what the rest of her house looks like.
maybe she searched for “a pattern for a toilet seat with Xanga covering his eyes on the flip side”
it’s quite a plausible typo if you check your keyboard
aha =/
Say, I remember Dillon told me about this; how can you re-open a xanga site you shut down again? Someone to email, if I remember…
There you go.
Was she by any chance from Florida, because that would be my ex mother-in-law. HAHAHA! I’ll have to check those t-shirts out, but first I need to lose a little weight…so I can fit back into those $300 jeans I invested in a few years ago (joking…I thought $50 was too much for a pair of jeans).
Thanks for the comment. I’d love to see that.
so economically chic~
an american-apparel-tri-blend-tee elf, more like XD
your favorite word is conceptual?
Hilariously true, some floridians do decorate this way…. Without snow they go to extremes! thanks for the chuckle….. And the t-shirts – how true!
