Some stuff I forgot to mention...

1.) Father's Day. I bought my Dad Cajun snack mix, a $25. McDonalds gift card, & a Dirt Devil Kone (lame-ass, I know, but that's just the sort of practical crrrrap he likes!)

Lullaby by Chuck Palahniuk (for me-- this is another author I feel I oughtta acquaint myself with)

The Voyage of the Ludgate Hill (my best kid's book find; this is like a funny epic poem with terrific illustrations by Alice & Martin Provenson)

3.)Tees. I was lured finally by The Cotton Factory ad on facebook and I went to that site to peruse the wares. Me likey! I may have to drop some moolah there at some point. These are the tees I particularly fancied--
