Never Is the Next New Thing

I’m Lazy and Proud of It

by

First of all, no book club today. That’s not really due to laziness, though. I just want to do a better job on the post. I’ll be back with an empress next Thursday.

My real laziness is that I would like to support other small business owners by buying some of my holiday gifts through Etsy and there are too many damn options. What am I paying you people for if you don’t anticipate my needs and assist me with my shopping? What do you mean I’m not paying you? The checks are in the mail! Jesus!

Anyway, please post your Etsy suggestions here. I’m looking for cute little t-shirts. I’ve already bought paintings and tops from Cakespy and Stevester, respectively, and I’d like to spread the holiday joy to some other sellers as well. Get to work. Seriously, I don’t have all month. Find me some holiday cards while you’re at it and show a little more initiative next time! This is all going on your performance reviews.

You can’t have this. I bought it. Don’t be jealous!

    LAZY GIRLS NEED CAKE TOO!

    if you don’t get me cake for christmas that’s ok, but i would really enjoy some jewelry.

  6. Threadless.com, as you may know, has wonderful tees.
    Okay, that’s it. My brain is fried from trying to figure out *my* Christmas presents! I’ve already started four new bookmark folders. Sigh.

  7. well since you ask, you are the more beautiful than my beloved christmas vomit tree! that’s a high compliment as you know.

    ps. can i be your back up monika while she is gone. it would be easier to tell you how pretty you are if you were my arm candy.

  9. Thanks for the introduction to etsy!…and, of course, Jessie Oleson and her brood of cupcakes…love this!!!

  10. Sorry about all that slacking – it’s just been so long since I’ve had money to buy gifts for others that I’ve actually forgotten how.

  14. oh tshirts, how i like you buy you never fit me quite right!

    You asked for it! I’m OBSESSED with Etsy. I if you buy something from these folks you tell them it was because of me. Maybe I’ll get a future discount:

    LePhotique.etsy.com – so cool
    FrostyPetals.etsy.com – great knits
    belleandboo.etsy.com – amazing pictures
    louiseblack.etsy.com – over the top
    paraphernalia.etsy.com – !
    theblackapple.etsy.com
    lubee.etsy.com – I love her knitted things like belts and corsets
    SWANclothing.etsy.com – cute bags
    mintconspiracy.etsy.com> – all I can say is I want the Peppermint Monster
    tracychong.etsy.com – AMAZING cards
    KissCurl.etsy.com – I’ve bought 3 feather fascinators from her
    FantasticToys.etsy.com – I need one of the deer from here. So cute

  18. PPIEW, you are definitely the front-runner for all friend roles that need filling.
    Paris, what do you think about tipping the mailperson at Xmas. I’m not crazy about that. It’s a government employee for God’s sake. What, do I have to tip the IRS next?
    Everyone, thank you but especially Poochie, who went all out, for all the shopping suggestions. Once I buy the stuff, y’all will wrap it for me, right?

  19. yeah, i’m leading in the poles!!! not that i’m competitive or anything

  20. This isn’t Etsy, but you can find funny t-shirts at Threadless.com and they are having a sale right now!
