-alias stumpy-

  • A bit of Nancy Drew for your Wednesday:
Equally important, Nancy realized that Stephen Dowd - alias Stumpy - used his talent as an actor and skill with make-up to fool other people, and then probably swindled them. The young sleuth wondered if there was a tie-in between Laura's inheritance and the Monroe National Bank thefts of stocks and bonds.
  • I like the sound of Monroe National Bank. I want to be the executive of that bank, thank you!
  • While I am sure it is absolutely glorious in every other part of the country as fall descends upon each of you, today in Florida ain't bad: low humidity, sunshine, and a breeze coming off the lake = perfect hammock & a good book weather.
  • The new jar of change for a camping trip has been started...woot!
  • Advice needed. In today's mail, I received the standard commencement-ceremony catalog of goodies overpriced gobbledlygoo. It has been decided that I'll be walking in the graduation ceremony. This means I want to send announcements, but I do not care to send the pre-printed university cards; they are fugly - let me assure you. So I make my own, right? Or is that tacky? I love stationery. And I only love the very best stationery, which I believe I am capable of designing and creating (quite huge, thank you, and how big is your head feeling today?). Maybe I'll make some trials, scan 'em in and then you can tell me what you really think.

You have to stop it with the Jane pictures. I might die from the cuteness.

No, seriously, don't stop.

SHE'S SO FUCKING CUTE I WANT TO EAT HER RIGHT UP!

Oh, and ain't no shame in knowing you're good at something. Make yer own damn invitations, I say.

Don't ever tell me where you live. Kitties will go missing. But you might get a big, fat, mean replacement kitty. She's like a potato on toothpicks, so don't let her walk on you. Ouch.

As for making your own announcements, I had a terrific time making my own programs. Craigslist Veilfo (forum #1505) would probably be a good source for getting opinions on sources for good paper. I can email a link if you want it - Blogger doesn't let me link in comments.

Judging from stuff I was reading today at work, I never want to be a higher-up in a bank.

I heart Summer 2 in Florida. It's almost as good as Summer 1. Super-summer is too hot and Flaspring is a touch too cold, but thankfully doesn't last long.

I need to meet your kitty. I miss you so much!! And I want an invitation made by you. So, don't bother sending me one of the traditional ones if you end up getting them :)

Meghan, I speak your language.

Tits, I told her today that I was going to eat her on your behalf. She smiled.

Kate, Ok - you will never know. But a potato on toothpicks sounds adorable. I heart Flaspring. It's my favorite season here - brrrrr.

Kim, Praises be, indeed. We're cooling off. And, Jane hearts you too.

VV, Okay - you must meet Jane! She's dying to meet you also!

Kat said...

I'm in love with your cat. Do you ever squish her uncontrollably?

Monkey said...

Make your own, definitely. And Jane... oh Jane... how I pine for you.

FRITZ said...

Oh, look at that damn cat. Oh, I love that cat. I want to eat that cat. I want to put that cat in my bra and snuggle that cat to death. I want to have that cat wrap it's paws around me and purr in my ear. I just...must....have....a new kitten!

Dammit, that's it! We're getting a new kitten! Delilah, just get ready to deal!

ps: Is the Nancy Drew going to help you catch those theifs who robbed you?

Spinning Girl said...

I am in love with Jane. Jane! HOLD ME!

You should absolutely make your own invites. WIth your beautiful penmanship you could do anything.

Your handwriting is a font. A font named "Madge".

Hello, Madge? Come in, Madge? You have disappeared!
