SURFING The Laundry WAY.
We've all faced the never-ending laundry pile, right? Ugh.
But sometimes mindless chores can relax the brain and give way to beautiful images...a bit like meditation. Or hallucination, depending on how much laundry there is, heheh.
Winning Third Prize in The Most EPIC Contest Evar, gifted photographer Karin Hedetniemi wrote: "You should draw me as a girl surfing a galaxy ... a sparkling, mini galaxy. Because once I saw one while I was absently folding laundry." So here she is surfing the Laundry WAY, which is a bit like the Milky WAY, but without the milk. @karinhedet wins a t-shirt with this drawing on it and my thanks for her inspirational entry.
Do you ever see magic in the mundane?

Twitter STRIPTEASE.
My last Twitter Striptease was so much fun I just had to do it again....but better. Here's the play by play on Twitter as I awaited my 10,000th Follower.
Me: 9986 ....oooh...it's getting rather warm in here. I'm taking off my shoes. #10Kstriptease
Me: 9990 Let the Twitter Striptease begin! There goes my t-shirt! *fling*
Me: 9988 Oops just lost two followers*. Putting my t-shirt back on. Haha.
Me: Hanging at 9989. I know this. It's happened exactly like this at 3000 and 5000. It's the pause before the mad rush.
Me: 9991 Taking that t-shirt off again! And easing my shorts down woohoo it's hot in here!
Me: 9992 I'm wearing boxer shorts with Oscar the Grouch on them! And a sports bra....which I'm unfastening...
Me: 9993 ....my bra just went round and round and round and fling!!!
Me: 9994 Good thing I have these giant FEATHER FANS!!!!
Me: 9995 My Oscar the Grouch boxers are booby trapped *p-twang* off they go. Nothing but my Stealth Vajazzle and these feathers.
Me: By the way, I do have a pole here in my home office. Installed for just such occasions. #TwitterPoleDance
Me: 9997 One feather fan down. *gasp*
Me: 9998 I'm hiding behind my other fan. I'm suddenly all shy. Eeek.
Me: 10,000! #NEKKID
Me: Hi @deanna1137. You're my 10,000th follower. Please forgive me for being naked but I just did a Twitter Striptease to celebrate your arrival. You win a t-shirt.
@deanna1137: Well I feel very over-dressed then! But that did make me laugh! :-)
Me: I'm gonna do a pole dance now! Whee. *takes running leap at pole*
Me: Uh-oh. My pole dance is not going as planned. I'm just going round and round the pole. My hands have too much glue on them. I'm stuck!! HALP
Me: Okaaaaay. So here I am all nekkid with my hands glued to this pole. What now? #dontanswerthat
@guiltysquid and @GeauxHeather: How are you tweeting and texting?
Me: That's a good question. Luckily I have prehensile toes.
How did I get out of this sticky situation? Tons of helpful new followers came to my rescue.
*The two followers I lost turned out to be longtime followers @CollinsBat and @kitterztoo. They told me they were going to bravely UNfollow and then REfollow to try to win just for fun. They came in at 9997 and 9998 respectively. I admire that kind of spunk and dedication so I decided to send them each a gfit from my shop. You're welcome.
Thank-you to everyone who retweeted for others to follow me. I hope my antics entertained and amused you. And for those who may criticize that I should reward my loyal following, you might have missed this from last week.
Who woulda thunk that a striptease could be such a wonderful community builder... would you pole dance on Twitter?
Love My FANS, Pole Dance and Twitter Bird #FML gear are now available in my Zazzle Shop.
Share the fun.

EXTREME Home Decorating.
While the Huz is away, the wife will bravely attempt DIY. So begins the tale of the Floor Tiling Extravaganza. Specifically, the floor of the mudroom leading from the kitchen into the garage and garden. I have some beautiful candy coloured vinyl tiles I ordered specially.
First the fourteen year old daughter and I removed the old carpet and brought it to the garbage dump. We removed the boots and coats and crap and cleaned and vacuumed and stuff. Let me just say here that my daughter is awesome and helpful and wonderful. She also has a great sense of humor.
We laid all the tiles out in a zany random pattern (in blatant defiance of all that Martha Stewart holds dear), and I trimmed them and fitted them nice and snug. I actually managed to not cut my fingers off. I did some very difficult cutting including around the water heater and the trap door into the crawlspace. You would be truly impressed.
Then came the gluing. This glue is supposed to be applied and allowed to dry and then you stick the tiles down. It started well but ended badly. I mean I have to do it in sections to avoid stepping on glue, right? But I ended up stepping in the glue anyways, and trekking glue footprints around the house. A few clever people on Twitter suggested putting sparkles on top of the footpirnt which I admit I actually considered. I blame the fumes.
And then I actually sat down on the upturned lid of the glue tub. FML.
That was two days ago. Now I'm in PAIN.
I ask my self WHY? Why am I tiling this floor? I should be paying someone else to do it for me. I should be lying around at a spa relaxing and enjoying life.
Wait, what? ....oh yeah. I do enjoy extreme home-deco. Dang.
The floor will look awesome. The trouble with an awesome looking floor is that the rest of the room now looks like crap. Should I spruce up the rest of the room? No, because that will make the rest of the HOUSE look like crap. Solution? Retrieve the old carpeting from the garbage dump and cover the dang floor with it!
What's your nightmare DIY story?

EPIC Contest WINNERS.
The Winners of The Most EPIC Contest Evar are:
Wait. Before I say who won, I want to say thank-you to all who entered. You made my life hell trying to choose because frankly, they're all inspiring.
In the end I went with the three that made my fingers twitch the most.
Third Prize: Karin. "You should draw me as a girl surfing a galaxy ... a sparkling, mini galaxy. Because once I saw one while I was absently folding laundry."
Awesome visual depicting incongruity. But who are you Karin? You didn't leave your Twitter ID or anything.
Second Prize: @EllieM72. "You should draw me with a chocolate smeared face surrounded by two (not one but two!) hott guys! Preferably naked. Or not. But they must be hott."
Well okay! This is gonna be fun. I'll be sure to wear oven mitts whilst drawing this one.
First Prize: @pilot2b "HOW to draw me... on a motorcycle with wings, with scuba gear on, jumping over an 18-wheeler, about to land in water next to a nuclear power plant. Easy enough."
I wanna draw this so baaaaaad....!
Winners congratulations and I'll be looking for you on Twitter.
Special mentions go to Ed R @edrafalko, Allison C @minivangirl, and @yogi4change.
All decisions are final. Stay in touch and I may just get the notion to draw you anyways. I'm funny like that.
Wanna see the drawings?

Beware... THE BLOG!
The most horrifying monster menace ever conceived....
...will soon be invading your life.
A mass that keeps getting bigger...
...and BIGGER.
It crawls!
It creeps!
It eats you alive!
Run - don't walk - from...
There's no stopping The BLOG as it spreads from town to town.
It's indestructible!
How can it be stopped?!?
Nothing* can stop it.
*Except maybe this.
Mob hysteria sweeps one city, and before long, the nation.
And then the world could fall before the blood curdling threat of...
....THE BLOG!!!
Don't forget to feed The BLOG. RSS is its fave snack. But it also loves StumbleUpon, Twitter and FaceBook.
Is your blog taking over your life? Check out the awesome 1958 "The Blob" trailer. The comparison was totally begging to be drawn.
