Wisdom reveals itself in many forms

Again I know this is old news but lets just say I don't get out much. This is a wild one cause unlike every other viral phenomenon I had actually seen the newscast on this one weeks ago but didn't see all the new homages until the past couple days. Oh be still my beating heart.

and then when my sister's friend sent her the song it just about made my little heart burst with joy.

My oldest son has just replaced his obsession with Lady Gaga with a much less produced but similarly splendiforous overnight supastar Antoine Dodson. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMtZfW2z9dw


But mom's new favorite remix is here.

God bless those Dodson kids. Talk about takin' back the night and then takin' over YouTube.

Overnight phenoms. Dayum.

Gladiator Graveyard

I know this is old news by now but I don't care, cause the minute I'd heard about it I knew I wanted to do a post about it, and I'm just getting to it now. I'm really a procrastinator, my bad.

Here's what I heard...well since you can't get the audio, read what I heard.

Happy 4th!

First annual July 4th photo shoot to celebrate liberation from an uncut lawn.

Sorry for the late post.
You should know by now...

A hoarder's dress collection gets outside for the first time in months....
and these are the photos.

So....Does this dress cut me at some weird angles or what? Its like it was specially made for an awkward short chick or a boringly perfect "tallie" (my new derogatory word for tall people). So I guess that gives me my answer. Definitely putting in the "For Sale" pile after years and years of proper hoarding. Look at me, speaking with such confidence as if I will actually pull that 20 cent trigger and let her go, oh you silly silly people. We'll see how strong I can really be when none of these show up in the shop. I'm such a wimp I sicken myself. Okay I'll shut up now and leave you with some parting shots. Don't be freaked out mom. Everyone knows I am prettier without facepaint. Some day this will be funny too, like all the other stuff I did to you. Luuuyyuuuu, c/rr

Anyone up for some croquet?

I promise I won't eat your brains.



Or we could just 'set' a while and talk....

Sorry, another Aig entry. I'm certifiable at this point.

Okay, so I think this may solve my Aigner and my "Daily" issue. I am going to break all the rules (rebel) that don't even exist, because nothing really exists in my store... its an Existential thing (airhead philosopher turned capitalist entrepreneur slash glorified lemonstand owner).

So, to put an end to this mess, I am going to just get all of my Aigs out of my little brother's storage unit (read "mommy's shoe hoarding cave") and I am going to just start with the next date owed to you gorgeous people, which I swear is like the 18th or something and just go from there and freaking list these babies as fast as my little legs can take me. (slow)

I don't care if I end up way into the future on this stuff, it would make more sense than being late. In fact it may even create chronological symmetry seeing as how this is vintage we're talking about and our friend Etienne is already in the spirit world drinking a negra modelo with a lime and not giving a shit. (That is what they drink in heaven, right?) Who is there to offend?


I mean, why not do entries early if I want to? No one's really going to complain are they? (threatening fist).

So...to summarize: Etienne already supplied the "late" and the "great" for this matter, so I just gotta come correct on the Aigners.

I'll catch ya'll later on in the week. I have a storage unit I need to tend to.....

The Not So Daily Aigner

I know some of you may be wondering why I started a featured listing called "The Daily Aigner" only to end up listing it weekly or late by a couple days, etc. I mean, all you have to do is look at the date on the listing and the date it was actually listed to see that I am waayyyyy beyond what could politely be described as "chronically late." I'm uh....morbidly late.

Now, to do some sort of fashion penance, I just out myself right then and there by confessing my lateness right there in the title:
The Late Daily Aigner, The Fashionably Late Daily Aigner, The Extremely Tardy, The Lately Listed, etc etc... But now I'm running out of names!! What's a girl to do?


Maybe you've even suspected that after almost 3 months straight of doing this daily that I am running out of Aigs even. But you're wrong. I am not out of Aigners. I'm out of "The Daily". Who ever has enough Day to get them through their Daily? Deep thoughts by your favorite undead shoe slingin' Garbage Pail Mommy. (are there any others? cool, then I win)


So after this weekend I promise I'll try to do better...But I'm still testing some of 'em first...
Just some quality control, that's all. I think I'll call this one "The Company Ink" cause I am definitely dipping into it like its an ice cream sundae.

mmmm.....

Thanks for supporting the master Mister Etienne...and keep checkin' out my Aigs!

A quick Thank You

Just wanted to do a quick and very belated thanks to Under the Guise for the love!

I feel so exposed.

My own Sleepy Hollow complete with Mother Nature's mean ass slip and slide (patent pending)

just a gratuitous rushing of water

Driveway V. Creek

A dead tree stuck on the border between two properties.

Looks like a lot of bugs and birds have a new home,

cause this is way out of our pay grade.

(Its hard to believe the water level was so high it picked this up like a toothpick

and needled it in between this grate and a barbed wire fence a foot above it.

Insane. )

Mother Nature
combined with 3 years of a broken down 1949 Ford 9N tractor
makes for a mean ass slip and slide

Our thoughts go out to all the families, individuals and organizations who've experienced loss during this massive weather event we just experienced in our great state. I know new life hides just below the surface, so I approach summer with thanksgiving and hope.

Side note: I'm so happy I could barf cause we finally got a new mower so this will all be gone tomorrow. So enjoy the lush wildness because its all croquet courses and badminton courts from here on out.

Love,
~RR
