Sunday Sweets Brings The Llama Drama

You guys, llamas are so hot right now. All that fur? Oh yeah, they're keepin' warm.

But also, Llamas are SO POPULAR now. Move over, sloths! Not only does llama rhyme with "no drama," they're also (basically) long-necked sheep with bunny ears and giant, boop-able noses:

I mean, what's not to love?

Plus all llama's love pastels, which makes them superior to any primary-color-loving animal:

Sometimes they're even pastel themselves!

Eeeeee! SO CUTE. (I think her fur is actual cotton candy, y'all. This is amazing.)

Check out these cool cats... who are actually llamas:

Or are they alpacas?

Note to self: Google the difference between llamas and alpacas.
(Or just wait for the commenters to tell you.)

This one is rocking the best blue bouffant:

She's so dapper, I love it.

And this one may have the boopiest nose of all:

D'awww. And look at those eyelashes!

Here's a sweetie looking lovely in lilac:

And, be still my heart, here comes a whole herd!

How could you possibly pick a favorite?
(Dibs on the orange bow tie, which is CLEARLY the best one. :D)

And finally, here comes the softest cotton cloud in the sweetest pink bow to make all of us sit and sigh happily:

Ahhhhh. So sweet.

Happy Sunday, everyone!

P.S. Since this saved my butt during a long painting day recently, I have a random product recommendation:

No Buckle No-Show Stretch Belt

This is my new favorite belt, y'all. It basically turns anything with belt loops into an elastic waist. So comfy I forget it's on, slimline so it doesn't show under my t-shirts, and NO BELT BUCKLE to dig into my belly or unbuckle for bathroom breaks. Woohoo!

You know how stretch jeans are forever sliding down when you sit or bend, so you have to keep hitching them back up? No more! I wear this with all my jeans now. It's entirely elastic, so it moves and stretches with you, zero painful digging. I HIGHLY recommend for anyone well endowed with squish in the belly area.

Literally Just That

Jill ordered a birthday cake for her daughter Hope, then told the bakery she'd be in around 1pm to pick it up.

Now, I've seen it all, minions, but even I was not prepared for these icing choices:

Why. WHY.

Ryan L. writes, "A theatrical show I had been on tour with was celebrating its millionth audience member. The company manager gave specific instructions on what the baker should write."

Huh. I tried to understand why the baker wrote "musical symbols" while also drawing musical symbols but then my brain started to hurt and I had to stop.

And finally, Kyle B. wanted "Happy Birthday" on a rainbow cake.

Just that.

He watched the baker carefully write it all down on the order sheet, then later.... he got this:

Now, if you're curious what, exactly, the baker wrote on Kyle's order sheet, then GUESS WHAT.

I have that, too.

YAAAAAASSS

::head tilt::

Yup, that definitely clears things up.

Thanks to Jill B., Ryan L., & Kyle B. for today's serving of Just iced.

(Ok, that pun didn't really work, but I tried, dangit. I TRIED.)

You know what would help with the pain from that pun…

Shiatsu Shoulder Massager

Ever since I bought this shoulder massage 2 years ago everyone who's tried it has turned into a puddle of contented goo, and refused to move 'til it shut off. My Disney puppeteer friends are its biggest fans; people using and wrecking muscles most of us don't even know we have. I keep buying more of these as gifts!

This massager can actually bruise if you're not careful; it's got serious power for even rock-hard knots, and you can use it on your entire back. (I hold it diagonally to get below the shoulder blades, and around my waist for the lower back.) Highly recommend!
