It is Saturday, right? I worked Monday through Wednesday this week (27 hours! more than the 23 required for half time!) and found myself telling people, "Have a good weekend!" all day on Wednesday. I bet that did NOT make me very popular with anyone. Sorry, world, it just seemed like Friday to me. Both Thursday and Friday felt like Saturday, and today feels like Sunday only better because I know tomorrow in not Monday.
Welcome to my world ;-)
Although I really need to talk about my February zero waste challenge results, I am not going to. I am going to show you fun stuff I found today, courtesy of StumbleUpon.
First, from Photoposts Blog (the best photos in the world:
Those knitted eggs are the creation of Little Cotton Rabbits. Go check out her blog and her greeting cards and her free patterns and her etsy shop.
And go check out Photoposts blog -- there are some amazing collections of photos (like this one).

Coffee mugs to die for:

This next one made me scratch my head. Is it okay that Italians fell off? Were they pushed by the tourbus guides?

And finally, for a series of seriously awesome photos, many of Twin Cities scenes, check out WaynePhotoGuy's "best of" Flickr series. Here is a quick sampler:
It was Friday for you. ;^)
Wait...
You've been off work for a couple of days and you haven't updated until today?! I don't think I like that.

That mug biscuit mug would cause all sorts of trouble for me... crumbs and coffee all over myself! I saw a global warming mug like that on/off one... where when you put hot liquid in it the sea level rose everwhere.

My dogs would love that mug because I would drop the cookies right where they want them. I love those knitted eggs.
Enjoy Saturday or whatever day you think it is!

Great photos!
Heh, I'd be dumping cookies on myself all the time with that mug.

Cool photo sites. I like the biscuit mug idea, only I want one with a place to stash a biscotti on the side. I never knew there was such a beautiful bridge in Minneapolis.

No worries. I've been drinking Coke products to earn rewards points instead of my Mountain Dew. (The Pepsi points program ended in January) I'm certain that those are fine and I don't need to even bother checking the ingredients label. I'll just let my system clear itself for a while and then I'll be all set to resume Doin' The Dew once the rewards program ends.
It's all about my health, really. I am a shining example of self-care. I'll probably live forever...

Love the photos - thanks for sharing - I especially like the faces-as-eggs in the carton ... and I think I've seen Wayne's stuff at art fairs in town?
As far as Mountain Dew - I recently heard that they were going to go back to sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup ... don't remember where I heard it though ... let's hope it was true (but seriously, have you thought of switching to something else?). I should talk though, with the amount of coffee I drink!

I love that mug with the cookie holder.

You find the best stuff! Those faces are hilarious. I don't get the thing about the Italians, either...

Wow, I don't drink Mountain Dew, but my husband does sometimes. I'm sending this to him!

I love that mug - would be a great way to sneak a few girl scout cookies!

Great collection of interesting photos. Love the eggs. There is no way ever you would see me on that rock. What if the wind were to blow?! Poof, yur a gonner. :D

Thankfully, I was never a Mountain Dew fan. But it's nice to know that the thing that makes it resemble first morning's urine is called brominated vegetable oil.

I caught my breath at least four times while reading this post.
I need to wear a heart-rate monitor when I come here.

That coffee mug is to die for.
Yeah,yeah, pretty pictures.

Very eclectic group of images you've scouted out! Thanks. Mtn Dew causes some terrible tooth problems in Appalachia.

I love those EGGS! I WILL be scouring my stash for egg yarn!
Posted by: NeedleDancer | 15 March 2009 at 11:58 AM
I love the mugs! I have no idea how it happened, but you disappeared from my google reader. I lurve those eggs, but have no place to display them. OOH! Wait! They could sit with my pysanki eggs!
