A recent post from marylou..Second of May, Shoelace Day.
I love the hummingbird-vulture comparison. Hummers really are vicious little beasts, which a person realizes when one buzzes her, then hovers 6″ from her eyes, pointing that needle-sharp beak at her left eye.
i did a bit of research: i googled it, because you’re too lazy to: I used this one today. “I got all this from Wikipedia; feel free to research more if you need to.”
Stockings with painted toenails – ugh.
Love that typewriter keypad, though. 🙂
