Hello Kitty Minefield

Hi folks... I'm operating a little slowly today -- I seem to have picked up a cold that's been going around, so sorry about that.

Below is the new 2006 calendar I picked up at lunchtime. I'm always out of sorts until I get a new calendar, and I'm too cheap to pay regular price for a calendar that's just for office use, so I wait until they're significantly discounted.

Of course, this limits the selection a bit, at least when it comes to suitability for the workplace. So, say hello to my new Hello Kitty calendar:

Hello Kitty Minefield


Actually, the odds are pretty good that I would have gotten this calendar anyway, as my 2004 calendar was an Oopsy Daisy calendar (a character I had not encountered before or since).

Bonus -- with purchase came a sheet of 75 Hello Kitty stickers, so I have been randomly vandalizing my co-workers' cubicles as I stagger around in a semi-medicated haze.

The sign next to it is a minefield warning sign I picked up from military surplus.

Thanks -- Joe

You should change ''mines'' to ''mimes,'' and just act like Marcel Marcel whenever someone comes in to bitch at you. I'd wager that you'd be bothered a lot less.

:-o

I think Joe is hinting we all chip in for a new calendar next year :). It would be more making one .

Hey Joe, I think the calendar is cutesy, but I don't think there is a bigger fan of Hello Kitty and Pink things like Ms. Vincci, the creator of http://www.pinktify.com/ who has her own blog which I read all the time http://www.pinktify.com/pt/
I think she would be Jealous and asking to know where it was purchased!  If she doesn't have it already lol

Too cool Joe,
Nena :)

Hrm... I think the lesson I'm seeing here is that I need to be blogging about more cute stuff. Everything kawaii, if you want to bring the Japanese into it.

Also, Nena: If I'm not mistaken, our own Brandi ( http://journals.aol.com/brandilynneliz/SomethingNew/ ) is the Single Gal columnist to Pinktify.

Thanks -- Joe

Hrm, now that I think about it, I guess Pinktify is loaded with AOL Journaler connections. You probably already know this. Thanks -- Joe

Hope your cold is getting better by now.   Having a benign calender such as that can not hurt.
