I opened it anyways, hoping it was illegal drugs, bacon and maybe a new alarm clock.
No such luck.
Turns out, it was a belated b-day gift from my gal Lollie. I love Lollie, and not just because she sends me gifts, but that does increase my affections (hint, hint, wink.) I love her because she likes to play with dolls and she's preggers- who doesn't love a pregnant lady? Huh?
She got this awesome apron for me- I have been wearing it around the house all day in an effort to channel my inner housewife, but I'm afraid to get it dirty so I'm refusing to do any actual housework while wearing it.
Whoo whoo is that in your pocket, Whiskey? Why, it's Mr. Shinygoldowl.
I love him and am going to find him a permanent home in Casa de Whiskey.
Later on, I had a delightful sing-along with Mr. VonBaconsteiner (I believe he is Fernando's 2nd cousin, twice removed by marriage. Am I right, McGone?) and Happy Monkeyface.
Know what song we sang over and over and over? This one. Duh.
Happy Monkeyface is surprisingly good at harmonizing.Then- as well you would expect- I tried sticking Mr. Vonbaconsteiner up my nose with little success.
Thanks Lollie! Give yourself a big, bacony, monkey-breath kiss from me!XO

Mr Shinygoldowl sure is a nice keepsake. Just a friendly reminder to keep his certificate of authenticity in a fire proof box. I can't stress the importance of this simple task
Love it!
I believe I've mentioned it before, but for clarity's sake I just love love love that picture you link my name to. It makes me feel pretty. Oh so pretty.
I actually groaned when I saw my name was linked.
the best gifts are always belated. don't know why, they just are.
I will give you three sticks of equal size, four packs of slightly used Big League Chew and one Top Gun High Five for Mr. Shinygoldowl.
Deal?
The apron is even better in the close-up.
That apron is freaking AH-dorable!
Hoo-hoo knew someone else loves owls as much as me? Nice owl. And other stuff.
so THAT'S where my apron went :(
I love Ms. VonPartypants Neighborhood. It's so full of awesomey goodness. : )
the owl and the pussycat and the piggywig
Wait... so did the owl come WITH the apron? Cause that's definitely two gifts in one! Although if you start doing any actual 'work' he may start getting a little heavy.
p.s. I am totally going back to check out this wicked picture of McGone (which I would have skipped right over if I didn't read the comments) :)
Whenever I get a house, the first thing I will buy is an awesome apron. Ok this is a lie. The first thing I will buy is one of those awesome claw bathtubs. But after THAT, I will buy an awesome apron.
Be careful with your nose, ok?
Sheesh.
What a great gift!!
I LOVE aprons! Especially dressy ones. I think my fav would have to be my red chiffon waist apron with little jingle bells attached at the pocket.
What? You thought I had real aprons for house work? If I'm going to get that dirty by cleaning the house it is time to either move or hire a maid.
Happy B Day. Oh, and I need your address again. Email me TreesNSnow@yahoo.com I have a pretty surprise for you :-)
1. I'm so glad McGone discussed the link, otherwise I'd have missed it. I' wary of the Rickroll, you know.
2. I am going back to the drawing board on your belated berfday giftie from me because this one rocks the house more than my idea.
3. That is all. You're dismissed.
Mmmmm, I love me some bacony monkey-breath. It is just so refreshing and starts the day right! Glad you enjoyed the goodies - they basically screamed Whiskey so I had to send them to you, 'spesh the piggy - your noses were destined to touch. And the pinney looks fab on you as well. Happy Birthday friend!
Does Mr. Whiskey know you do these things?
Or is he the one taking the pictures?
