Moving!!

No, not out of my house, but already moving from this blog….Going to make it easier for family to find, too.

They’re not totally web-savvy, so… check out www.pamperedbunz.com/blog and please update your links, too.

Borrowed from another, but hilarious!

I got this in an email from a friend who’d borrowed it from another blogger (sadly, I’m not sure WHO it was, or I’d link back to them). I thought maybe we all needed a smile.

Last weekend I put an exhaust fan in the ceiling for my wife’s grandfather. While my wife’s brother and I were fitting the fan in between the joists, we found something under the insulation. What we found was this:

A JC Penney catalog from 1977. It’s not often blog fodder just falls in my lap, but holy hell this was two solid inches of it, right there for the taking. I thumbed through it quickly and found my next dining room set, which is apparently made by adding upholstery to old barrels:

Also, I am totally getting this for my bathroom:

There’s plenty more home furnishings where those came from, however I’m not going to bore you with that. Instead, I’m going to bore you with something else. The clothes.

The clothes are fantastic .

Here’s how to get your ass kicked in elementary school:

Just look at that belt. It’s like a boob-job for your pants. He probably needed help just to lift it into place. The belt loops have to be three inches long. And way to pull them up to your armpits, grandpa.

Here’s how to get your ass kicked in high school:

This kid looks like he’s pretending to be David Soul, who is pretending to be a cop who is pretending to be a pimp that everyone knows is really an undercover cop. Who is pretending to be 15.

Here’s how to get your ass kicked on the golf course:

This “all purpose jumpsuit” is, according to the description, equally appropriate for playing golf or simply relaxing around the house. Personally, I can’t see wearing this unless you happen to be relaxing around your cell in D-block . Even then, the only reason you should put this thing on is because the warden made you, and as a one-piece, it’s slightly more effective as a deterrent against ass-rapery.

Here’s how to get your ass kicked pretty much anywhere:

If you look at that picture quickly, it looks like Mr. Bob “No-pants” Saget has his hand in the other guy’s pocket. In this case, he doesn’t, although you can tell just by looking at them that it’s happened – or if it hasn’t happened it will. Oh yes. It will. As soon as he puts down his matching coffee cup.

Here’s how to get your ass kicked at the beach:

He looks like he’s reaching for a gun, but you know it’s probably just a bottle of suntan lotion in a holster.

How to get your ass kicked in a meeting:

If you wear this suit and don’t sell used cars for a living, I believe you can be fined and face serious repercussions, up to and including termination. Or imprisonment, in which case you’d be forced to wear that orange jumpsuit.

How to get your ass kicked on every day up to and including St. Patrick’s Day

Dear god in heaven, I don’t believe that color exists in nature. There is NO excuse for wearing either of these ensembles unless you’re working as a body guard for the Lucky Charms leprechaun.

In this next one, Your Search For VALUE Ends at Penneys.

As does your search for chest hair.

And this — Seriously. No words.

Oh wait, it turns out that there are words after all. Those words are What. The. F***. I’m guessing the snap front gives you quick access to the chest hair. The little tie must be the pull tab.

Also, judging by the sheer amount of matching his/hers outfits, I’m guessing that in 1977 it was considered pretty stylish for couples to dress alike. These couples look happy, don’t they?

I am especially fond of this one, which I have entitled “Cowboy Chachi Loves You Best.”

And nothing showcases your everlasting love more than the commitment of matching bathing suits. That, and a blonde girl with a look on her face that says “I love the way your junk fights against that fabric.”

Then, after the lovin’, you can relax in your one-piece matching terry cloth jumpsuits:

I could go on, but I’m tired, and my eyes hurt from this trip back in time. I think it’s the colors. That said, I will leave you wit h these tasteful little numbers:

Man, that’s sexy.

Crazy Climber

Holy Smokes!! This child monkey didn’t know how to climb two days ago!! Today, that’s ALL he does!! We found him on the couch twice banging on the window (all we did was walk to the kitchen gate and back), on my laptop keyboard once, on my recliner another time, and on his sister’s toy box looking out the window two times. GOODNESS!! Oh, and I forgot to mention that he’s been on TOP of the chairs in front of the tv (which are there to keep him AWAY from the tv) twice, too. How he managed that one is beyond me. So yeah. I was reallllllllly grateful for nap time today. If I didn’t have so much sewing, I’d take one too. Oh well…..another day.

And one more that I think is fun…I got to play with Photoshop a little bit last night again, even though I should have been sleeping…

Isn’t he cute? He’s for a friend’s daughter’s diaper, and I can’t wait to see the finished product!

But…this is what happens when things DON’T go well with the embroidery machine….I get frustrated with the amount of thread that I throw away some days. Isn’t it colorful? So were some of the words that I was thinking.

Why DO the good die young?

It just doesn’t seem fair. I got word yesterday that an acquaintance from high school passed away very suddenly last week. She left behind three children, one of whom at least HAD pretty significant health issues. She was possibly one of the sweetest people in our high school class. Shy, but whenever you acknowledged her, she had a smile in return. I know God has a plan for all of us, but it still just doesn’t seem quite fair, you know?

Rest In Peace Deena. You’ll be missed.

Some new pictures….

I’ve been taking a ton of pics, as I mentioned in my first post. I’ll share two of them with you tonight… if I shared more, I’d be here all night!!

I do a bit of embroidery with my diaper business, so here is a few of the thread colors. Did I mention that I have a Photoshop obsession as well?

Then, we heat our house with wood. We’ve got 2 stoves…the upstairs one in my favorite. I love the warm, cozy heat that it offers. Otherwise, we’ve got a horrible, inefficient electric heat pump. Being the hippy that I am, I’d rather use a renewable resource!

The pic of the fire is as yet unedited. I’m trying to limit myself to an hour of PhotoShop each day….gosh, that’s hard. I’ve learned so many things lately and just want to keep trying all of them!

Hello!

Welcome!! This is my first post, so I guess I’m not really sure what to write!! There will be more to come in the future….as I have a profound thought, funny story, or maybe even some crazy questions.

I’ll also be putting some pictures up from time to time…I’m crazy obsessed with my new Canon Rebel XTi. Hubby says I’m going to make the kids blind by the time they’re five with the flash….goodness, I hope not!!
