Gift Ideas

I'm not a rich woman. Well, yes I am, "in all the ways that really matter," etc., etc., --BUT I don't have so much money that I can spend it on gifts for people I've never met but still really like. Kid keeps asking for "food," which is totally annoying.

But here are things I would buy the people in my life, whom I have never met, if I could:

Ironic_Mom:
There are many things ironic about this button. One: its price--isn't it ironic that. . . . . nope, not going to do that. That leads to Alannis and April Wine and nothing else good. Leave it at this: I would buy it in platinum and diamonds for you if I could, if only for Whiteboard Wednesdays, which have let me know that I am not alone.

For Jenny, The Bloggess:
I would like to see where these would end up: inside an alligator vagina? I'm not Neil Gaiman but one day I hope to meet you, put on some wigs, take some Xanax, and talk about taxidermy.

To Unknown Mami, I would like to present this:



Unknown maybe, Mami, but not in a brown paper bag. You. Are Fabulous.

SubWow, thanks for visiting, thanks for the comments, thanks for the laffs. You really do have a heart of gold:


Also black, crimson and looks like some pewter. All those things.

Emi, I want you to have sunshine and fruity cocktails at some point this long Swedish winter, so if I could, I would send you here for two weeks--with a nanny:


It's in Belize.

It's a big world out there; some of you are in my neighborhood, or at least on my continent, and some of you aren't. But almost every day you make me feel like we're sharing a coffee over the fence. Thanks for the gifts.

Love,
Worn Ragged

  1. Thank you.

    To say any more will cheapen your present. So I will leave another comment to make you laugh.

  2. (I think I am suffering from performance anxiety: I can't figure out how to turn this into a funny comment. The problem is when I am not funny, I am either sappy or outraged... I will do sappy of course in this case...) I envy your talent in finding perfect gifts that say a lot to/about the receivers. I appreciate the sentiment very much. Thank you. xxoo

  4. Awww...I'm laughing and smiling, which is the best combo ever! Thanks for the virtual-osity. And for reminding me I need to to a Whiteboard Wednesday post.

    Since we're both in Cowtown, we should do a meet up!
