Drink No Evil?
Not if these guys can help it. I love when wine labels are clever. (remember Mommy’s Time Out)
These guys make mention of how ‘evil’ backwards is ‘live’ but I am not quite sure how turning the label upside down gives us that message.
Oh right, maybe it is subliminal.
Nonetheless I think this would make a lovely hostess gift…
and depending upon where you are eating, maybe it can be subliminal.

May is Zombie Awareness Month
Really?
Really. I know, where do I find this stuff?
I think I probably first saw this on twitter but I did a little research and came across, what else, the Zombie Research Society website (no joke). I love their tagline:
What you don’t know can eat you.® (yes this is a registered trademark)
It would appear that May is the month when some of the most famous zombie movies take place (think Night of the Living Dead series), so this is the most likely month for zombie awareness (um, ok).
Here are the Society’s three foundational principles (with my commentary):
- A zombie is a biologically definable, animated being occupying a human corpse. (my sister-in-law told me she knows a few people that fit that description – yikes!)
- The zombie pandemic is coming. It’s not a matter of if, but a matter of when (this sounds pretty definitive to me – I am leaning towards being concerned).
- Enthusiastic debate about zombies is essential to the survival of the human race (sorry, I find this one to be a bit of a stretch – you?)
If you are interested you can buy their merch here. I am thinking the t-shirt might make a nice father’s day present for my husband.

Time to Cry Tuesday – Hydrotherapy
Yesterday I showed you one kind of colorful that I experienced at the beach this weekend. The yin to that yang is, believe it or not, when I turned 90 degrees to my right, this is what I saw.
No kidding. With Ocean to left and bay to the right, this beach is one of the many breathtakingly magnificent places not too far from where I live. A true gem.
Being in a spot like this is my best therapy. I usually frequent this place off hours, sometimes with my dog and it is so peaceful and soothing.
I can hear myself think.
Feel my heartbeat.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Just be.
Can’t think of anything better than that.

Hair Today, Jewelry Tomorrow?!
I first heard about this on Daily Candy and had to do a little more digging because it simultaneously intrigued and repulsed me.
Seems that Larissa de Souza creates jewelry out of human hair. I am trying to wrap my head around this one (no pun intended – ok, maybe). I remember when my daughter was in camp they cleaned out their hairbrushes and made a hair doll. That too, intrigued and repulsed me.
When my kids were little I was at a birthday party and I saw a kid walking around with this braid attached to a stuffed crocheted ball. I asked the mother what it was and she said it was his ‘transitional item, you know like a teddy bear’ only this was mom’s hair. I, personally, preferred teddy bears and blankets, but hey, whatever blows your hair back, right? (i know, these jokes are getting tiresome, sorry)
My point here is maybe in light of these examples maybe there is a strong market for hair jewelry.
There is something so borderline not OK about wearing someone else’s hair as a necklace, but then again, why is it OK to wear human hair wigs and extensions and not this?
And you have to admit, the stuff is kind of nice looking. In a crap I wonder whose hair this was before it was around my neck sort of way.
Ok, sorry, I just can’t do it. Weigh in on this one, I am curious to see how you feel.

Snitches…
… end up in ditches.
Oh my. Saw this guy at the beach today and almost had second thoughts about snapping this shot for fear that I too, could find myself in a ditch. Something tells me this guy would not be too fond of me posting his picture.
But since his face is not showing and this is simply too perfect a picture not to blog about I am going to live on the edge, go out on a limb and hopefully not find myself in a ditch.
Why did I feel a little bit like I was in a Sopranos episode.
Sorry, vivid imagination.
