    Yet Another Shout Out to All My Bitches

    So we all know that I killed my feed just before the holidays, and I asked for your help.  Well, yet another kind soul has come forward to help a girl out!  Big thanks to The Eternal Voyager over at Venusian Glow for posting a quick bit about my dilemma on her blog today.

    If you are not reading The Eternal Voyager yet, why not?  This is one smart lady…she knows just about everything about natural health and beauty (did you know you are putting on your sunscreen wrong?), goes backpacking with a toddler, and can tell you your bra fits wrong just by looking at you.  I’ve just started doing the Oil Cleansing Method that she recommends and my skin is reaching new heights of awesome.  She’s also done a fantastic guest post right here on TNR, so please check out this awesome blogger and subscribe to her feed.  I guarantee you will learn something new!

    Dear Dudes, Please Stop Calling Yourselves "Daddy"

    Not, in fact, my "Daddy"This weekend, The Boyfriend and I lived through what I have dubbed The Great Plumbing Debacle of 2010.  Saturday afternoon, I walked into my bedroom to see a silent puddle spreading from underneath the wall by the bathroom, as well as underneath the door of the bathroom into the hall.

    As I began shrieking like my panties were on fire (not to be confused with that one time they actually were on fire.  I might have been telling a falsehood at the time.  Who knows?), The Boyfriend--who was in the shower--began shrieking that dark blue, cold water was coming up through the drain and over his almost-clean feet.  He slammed the water off while I ran to the laundry room to shut off the washer...

    No 'Me' Day, V-Day

    One year close to Valentine’s Day, I went to the store and purchased a generic box of Disney Princess Valentine’s cards.  Each one was cheesier than the last, and I stuffed them in envelopes and labeled one for each friend in my group of college buddies, including Paul, a newer addition to the group who didn’t talk a lot but seemed to enjoy our company. 

    (Don’t mistake the gesture for thoughtful…on the contrary, the cards were my idea of a joke, a way to semi-make fun of the damned pink holiday while getting a chuckle from my friends.)

    I passed the cards out at during lunch on V-Day, chucking one after another at a friend’s plate or head, finally hitting Paul.  Proud of myself for a job well done, I plowed into my meal, not noticing that while the rest of the table had moved on, Paul was still slowly opening his Valentine.

    I looked up to see him staring at his card.  He looked at me and said, “Thanks.  I’ve never gotten one of these before...”

    Announcing: THE NAKED STORE!

    OK, you waited with bated breath (I'm assuming some of you are either dead or light-headed by now), so without further ado, I'd like to announce..........

    THE NAKED STORE

    A few weeks ago, after a lovely gmail chat with FitJerk where I bitched and moaned about how I am completely inept at anything other than just writing or making ridiculous mastheads, and how all the porn searchers coming to this site eff up my bounce rate, and about how I'll never be able to quit my day job and all professional bloggers can take this opportunity to bite me, he suggested that a) I STFU and b) make lemonade out of lemons. 

    I have attempted to do so by designing some hot-ass t-shirts complete with some TNR flair.

    I'm partnering with local Columbus establishment Skreened (find my store when you search thenakedredhead), which is a kick-ass, ethical printing company that allows little plebs like me to set up shop.  The best part about working with Skreened is that you, the customer, can make your preferred design look and feel however you want.  Hate blue?  Print the design you like on Organic cotton in Orchid.  Hate ringer tees?  Print your chosen design on a white vintage fit tee.  Want something for your baby?  Print the design you like on a onesie. 

    So, to inaugurate my little store, I'm giving you, my readers, a chance to win a free t-shirt of your choice.  It's easy...all you have to do is:

    • Visit THE NAKED STORE and then tell me what you think in the comments below. 
    • Get an extra entry by linking to THE NAKED STORE from your blog and posting the link to your blog entry in the comments below. 
    • Get yet another entry by linking to THE NAKED STORE from your Twitter account and posting the link to your Twitter profile below. 

    Let me see then...that's THREE easy ways to enter for a free t-shirt of your choice!  Next Monday, February 8, I'll use random.org to choose a winner.  UPDATE:  YES, this contest is open to my international readers as well!

    (And if you hate my stuff, that's cool, too.  Feel free to comment about it below, link from your blog, and Tweet about your loathing of all things TNR.)

    Yay!  I'll be adding new designs here and there, so check back often.  And before I go...a big thanks to you, my readers, for rocking it hard.  Seriously, you guys keep me chuggin'.  Thanks for taking these next, exciting steps with me!

    SSoLA: Stupid Things I Did as a Kid

    Just one more day and you're to the weekend.  Which, you know, everybody is working for.

    To ease your passage into a few days off, head on over to the Secret Society of List Addicts for my weekly post.  This week I wrote about Stupid Things I Did as a Kid, which really means, "I looked like a small rodent with frizzy hair for five years."

    Derrr...Bombs! I Mean, Guns! I Mean...Where's My Donut?

    I discovered today that I can be quite articulate if I'm speaking about something ridiculous, but ask me to participate in a debate about oh, say, TERRORISM, and I become a blithering idiot.

    ...which is totally awesome since I have to do that very thing tomorrow.  In front of people.  And then answer questions about it.  WTF?  Seriously, do these people not know that I like to pepper my everday vocabularly with the words, "dog balls"?

    Looks like I'm about to rain down disappointment like napalm.  (Wait, can I use that line tomorrow?)
