And that, folks, is how you kill 10 minutes. This week has gone well so far, better than I expected. I had it in my head that each project would take forever, even when I know–I mean, after two years I know–it never takes as long as you think it will. That Michael’s bag was empty! For some reason I thought there were supplies in there that I had to put away.
Look at my jar of flowers! Stock, to be specific. Since I’ve been eating at home all week, I was able to treat myself with something pretty. A stock tip (heh) for those who aren’t familiar with the flower: once you cut it and put it in water, they will droop and look like a bride left at the alter. Don’t worry, you didn’t get a bad bunch. They’ll be tall and strong by the next morning. Just be prepared to refill your container because they go through inches of water per day!
My desk looks so nice now. The only thing it’s missing is a set of dino porn. I’d like a collection for my desk so I can casually leave it out for company. You know, something to show that not only am I fun, I’m smart and know about history and science and stuff.
Robin Jingjit says
Oh my goodness I clicked on that Dino porn. Hahah I thought you were kidding/some kind of clever pun. Nope. Good ol’ Dino porn. Hahahha
Jules says
DINO PORN.
Amy says
The mind boggles.
One of the co-authors is just “‘a plain old, everyday Midwestern girl'” with “‘lusty thoughts of big, strong powerful monsters having their way with beautiful maidens.'” Oh sure, naturally. Makes perfect sense.
They cannot be serious, right? Please, tell me . . .
Shaina says
The other co-author is the one that got me. “Personal experiences”?!
“She says her writings are based “on her own desires, or from personal experiences.”
Jules says
To be fair, ladies, the Midwest is FULL of dino excavation sites. Who knows what goes on after hours. We all know how wild and crazy paleontologists can be.
Shaina, the “personal experiences” part made me laugh out loud since her out books are about sex with dragons, ghosts, unicorns…this girl must have a portal to another (really freaky) dimension.
Kathryn says
People are, ahem, different. Really, really different. (5 books? This needed more than 1?)
Jules says
Some people just aren’t into the T-Rex, Kathryn. Can you blame them? What can he do with those little arms? Personally, I’m a pterodactyl gal.
Barbara says
I’m thinking, with dinosaur loving boys, perhaps the dino porn is not such a good idea for your desk. lol
Jules says
But it can be a combo history/science/sex ed teaching moment!
Sarah B. says
I love the rock crystal lamp. My husband has one of those in his office, near *his* computer. Way to clean!
Jules says
It is so, so pretty when it lights up. :)
Heather P. says
Dino porn…love it!
I should probably get around to cleaning off my desk as well. It’s cluttered with craft stuff and bills I should deal with and put away. But first…I should really get out of my pajamas. :-)
Jules says
Haha! I’m sure you’re out of your pajamas by now and looking at your beautiful desk.
Susan G says
Oh my goodness…the things I didn’t know existed……….
The desk looks great! Have a good weekend!
Jules says
31 Days, Susan. You’ll see me tomorrow and Sunday. ;)
Mary | Lemon Grove Blog says
What a perfect area to work in :) I love your lamp!
Jules says
Thank you! It’s Target circa 2005.
Kelly says
Oh, the dino-porn! Your Facebook post, the comments, the Goodreads reviews: I think that may have been the best half hour of my entire (not-so-hot) week, last night. So thanks! :D
Jules says
Right? I was having a craptacular week and that brought me much needed laughter.
Jenn says
You know, I thought I was all ‘hip to the jive of those young kids’, but damn. Dino-porn. I just don’t think I’ll be able to watch ‘Walking with Beasts’ in the same vein anymore. O_o
Good job on the clean-up. Seriously don’t know how you can possibly trump this one.
Jules says
Don’t give up on me yet–I’m a pretty cluttered mess. :)
Elizabeth says
I’m making a connection between the computer, the lotion, and the dino porn that is frankly a little disconcerting.
Jules says
+2,000. Comment of the year!
Kate says
Dino porn? How do you find this stuff?!? I live in a bubble.
Jules says
I consider it my job to keep up on the latest book happenings. Never thought I’d uncover dino-porn, but there you go.
LauraC says
. . . and I assumed dino porn was you leaving plastic dinosaurs out for your boys to play with, so I passed on the link. The comments made me infer otherwise so I went back and clicked on it. NOT plastic dinosaurs! My eyes! My brain!
Jules says
NOT plastic dinosaurs. Well…I don’t even want to know.
LauraC says
I learned a new rule reading comments there – Rule 34 (google it, I did).
Jules says
Hah! I learned something new, too.
Jessica says
You’re making me spit all over my computer with your comedy. I think you should take your show on the road.
