Blurb “Love Bound” Book Contest
Posted on January 19, 2009 by Ching under Life, Web.
There’s still time to submit an entry to the Blurb book contest!
I had this creative proposal idea, which would make a for a great contest entry. You know how people propose through billboards or on live television or by putting the ring in the champagne glass… I was thinking it would be neat to propose to someone by creating a photobook of your life together as a couple and including pictures of all of your happiest moments and then having the words “Will you marry me?” printed on the very last page. If I were to propose to someone, that is how I would do it. It’s a shame I’m already married. =P LOL.
Anyway, if you have creative book ideas head on over to the Blurb web site. Download the BookSmart software. Create a book. Submit it. You could have $75 headed your way, if your book is selected. That’s enough to get a very nice hard cover copy (or two) of your very own creation.

Four Laptops and a Bedroom
Posted on January 19, 2009 by Ching under Life.
This is what happens when you get relegated to a single bedroom in your entire house. =P
All jokes aside, Brian and I are waiting for Benjamin Franklin to show up. They’re supposed to come between 8 and 9 this morning to begin work on our plumbing. Brian is working from home today.
Don’t worry. He put clothes on and is completely clothed now.
I took a vacation day so I can take Molly to meet Tita Sol this afternoon. I’m hoping that Tita Sol will adopt her and be her new mommy. Tita Sol would be an awesome mommy to Molly. Cross your fingers.

My New “Art by Amy” Initial Pendant
Posted on January 18, 2009 by Ching under Wishlist.
I took Brian to the Pink Boa yesterday after my waxing at Beau Monde. I’m happy to report that, although he really enjoyed looking at all the novelty items in the store, he did not grow breasts as many have warned me might happen.
Anyway, my main purpose in going was to drop off my “Poker Slut” pendant so that they could have Amy re-solder the top corner. It had cracked and I didn’t want to wear it for fear of it falling off and breaking into a million pieces. I think I’m being overly paranoid about the whole thing, but I love the pendant so much (it has the “Poker Slut” large rectangle pendant with dice and royal flush baubles hanging on the bottom ~ it is just like the one Sunny has only better) that I figured I’d better be safe than sorry.
Steph took down my phone number so that they can call me in a few weeks when it is ready. It has only been a day and I can’t wait to get it back already.
In the meantime, I bought two more pendants at the store while we were dropping off my other one for repair. I got an initial pendant (pictured above) and a fleur de lis. I figured I could wear both with my silks that I had purchased to go with the “Poker Slut” pendant.
I didn’t intend to buy more stuff, but it’s hard to go to the Pink Boa and come home empty-handed. They just have such cool stuff. You won’t be able to help yourself. That’s my excuse, anyhow.
We were cleaning the room this morning and I found some brown suede cord necklaces. I tried it with the initial pendant and it doesn’t look too bad. I love that about “Art by Amy” stuff. Everything is interchangeable. Change the cord or silk and you have a totally new and different necklace. Plus, you can combine different pendants and baubles to create your own unique necklace.
I am totally addicted to “Art by Amy” stuff now. I want to create one using the heart necklace chain (the ones they sell at Pink Saloon) with “B” and “C” scrabble tiles on either side of the heart. Don’t you think that would look cool? I think that is what I will ask for on V-day. Hopefully, we won’t be too broke around that time.
