I was fixing dinner last night with the TV on.
I heard this commercial come on and I thought it was a hoax, like a Saturday Night Live commercial. But it was real. Do people buy these things? I've heard of snugglies but "Forever Lazy" as the name of a product? Amazing.

here are the 2 best lines from the commercial
--its oversize for that baggy comfortable lazy day perfect pajama feeling
--zippered hatches in front and back for great escapes when duty calls (WC)
I was watching American Psycho on some oddball channel. It is a fantastically weird movie from the 80's. The soundtrack alone makes it worth watching. Featuring Christian Bale and Reese Witherspoon. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0144084/
The painters are done but they did not use the low VOC paint as I requested. The house smells. And that brings me to complaining. Do you or don't you? Do I make a stink about it?(bad pun). It's not like they can un-do the smell. It's 60 some degrees outside and I'm going to leave a few windows open.
The teeniest bit of baby fine fuzz has appeared on top of my head. Legs are still hair free.
I haven't done much charity work since moving back to the USA last summer but I always try to sponsor a family at Christmas. My family is not big on gift giving (I'll post that tomorrow). And aside from my Son I don't really have to shop for anyone.
Sponsoring a family with young children allows me to shop, choose gifts, wrap them and deliver them and I can be a part of the holiday madness for an afternoon or so.
The Charity I go to is the Christmas Bureau Austin. I've donated there for years. They got a really late start this year opening just this week. If you are looking for a good cause please consider helping. You don't even have to shop. You could donate a day of your time to help sort, wrap and deliver gifts.

where DIY meets WTF)
For you locals here in Austin, consider shopping at the Blue Genie Bazaar in Lincoln Village. Now open 10-10 daily. This is local artists selling their work in a cooperative setting. Happens once a year. http://bluegenieartbazaar.com/
and because it is a cold cold morning here I leave you with this fun coat from upcycled sweaters.....from Etsy, methinks it is a bit of a regretsy but the artist says she is always sold out!
Welcome to Austin, Allergy capitol of the south...
Back with a vengeance. I am not feeling so great. Would like to go bald today because the idea of something tight on my head does not sound so great. Will wear the softest cap I can find.
Met with the Endocrinologist yesterday. It will take a few months of trying different combinations of medicine (and few blood tests) but I look forward to getting my thyroid back in balance.
I'm upstairs in the office today. We have a painter coming to work on the downstairs ceiling so I cleared the walls and moved some things out of his way.
I had a dream I was shaving my legs. I woke up. Still no hair, not even a stubble.
Braved the crowds yesterday at a department store to get a birthday gift for my Mom. Will try to get it in the post today (sorry Mom I may be a day late but it's on the way!)
Shout out to the girls at Rogue Running who braved the cold and rain to run the White Rock Marathon yesterday. You guys are amazing!
It finally feels like "winter" in Austin. I'm still working through old photos and having such fun looking at them all. This is my son, Michael, at age age 3 December 1989. It was a Charlie Brown tree for us that year.
Rick is in town for a few days and he brought the rain and cooler temps with him. Also some nice Belgian chocolates so I'm not complaining.
Good time for movies and projects around the house and maybe out to the Saxon Pub for music later tonight.
