If you feel lovey dovey and dirty, then this giveaway is for you!

It's here, folks, the month of Lurve.  The one time of the year we set aside to show our joy and devotion of our spouses, children, friends, extended family, second cousins twice removed, the neighbor whose dog poops on your lawn, the gossipy coworker, etc. 

Yes.  It's Valentine's Day Month.

So I thought it would be swell to have a giveaway just for this joyous occassion! 

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, cats and dogs and cartoon people of the world, it is my great priviledge to introduce you to my newest etsy friend Jenny at Sheepy Hollow, who makes the coolest items using fiber from the sheep raised on her land.  Jenny's a true genius at what she does!  And she has graciously offerred to giveaway this awesome felted soap called I Love Ewe:

Inside this beauty is a lavender scented bar of soap using lavender she raised on her land.  The felted pouch is reusable once the bar is exhausted, just make a slit on the end, insert a new bar of soap and voila!  Just like new!  The felted wool on the outside provides a gentle exfoliation and is soft to your skin. 

This is an amazing bar of soap, my friends!  Just the perfect gift for that special someone you want to say "I'm thinking lovey dovey and dirty thoughts about you". 

So, to win the I Love Ewe bar of soap, here are the rules of entry:

1. Head over to Sheepy Hollow and peruse her awesome products.  She makes anything from baby booties to felted wool bowls.  Leave in the comment the item you like best.

2.  Please make sure you leave me a safe way to contact you.  Email works best. 

If your comment does not contain these two things, I shall have to delete.  Because that's the rules.  But I shall cry as I delete because I really want you to have the I Love Ewe! 

I shall pick the winner via Random Numbers Generator on February 10th, 2010 at 12:00 p.m. CST. 

And if you'd like to know more about Jenny and her sheep, visit her online journal!  Good luck!

Which reminds me of...

So, today, on my daily news scan I came across this video about NBC moving Conan's show:

Dude. It's like, 43 minutes long. No, this is not my attempt to have you sit on my blog for an hour. Or maybe it is and I've just blown my wickedly clever plan.

Anyways, poor Conan. Conan is my favorite. He's hysterically funny. Has wicked awesome hair. He's the best. I heart Conan. Where he goes, I will follow. Preferably to an earlier time slot because we folks who work in the morning so have to Hulu Conan to see him.

And so, watching this clip, it reminds me of...

Arsenio Hall.

Remember Arsenio? Cool guy with geometric hair? Early 90's decor? Need a reminder? I live to serve so...

This is his final show intro. Poor Arsenio. His ratings began to slip. In fact, I'm not real sure how popular his show was to begin with. In fact, there's lots of semi-popular things out there, things that deserve more air time.

And so, watching this clip, it reminds me of...

Homestarrunner.com. My favorite segment is the Teen Girl Squad. Awesome. This particular clip is about Valentine's Day. Which is right around the corner. We mostly ignore it in our house. But I did get the coolest gift ever from my Hubs one Valentine's Day many moons ago.

So, watching this clip, it reminds me of...

Pork rinds. Confused?

See, one day whilst visiting his parents, I went to take a shower. It was Valentine's Day. I got out of the shower and got dressed. When I opened the door, on the floor was a line of a pork rind and one of these...

Yes. A Hershey Kiss. I followed the line of pork rinds and Hershey Kisses, all leading to my room. At the end of the line, there sat a crystal dish full of the same with a sign that read HOGS AND KISSES.

Yes, the romance. It's choking you right now, isn't it? The fragrance of love wafting to your nostrils like the smell of a new bag of pork rinds just opened.

It's awesome. My most favoritist Valentine's Day gift ever.

And so if you, dear reader, need a quick Valentine's Day gift, think of pork rinds and kisses. It's a good one. Unless you're dieting. Or don't eat pork.

Which reminds me, we really need to buy some bacon.
