Hilariously, my fortune cookie paintings are actually BRINGING me good fortune!
My "Find Your Happy Place" fortune cookie painting has been featured in not one, but two treasuries today! I feel very treasured indeed!
The first treasury is called Follow the Rabbit (which makes me think of Alice in Wonderland but actually refers to it being the Year of the Rabbit in Chinese astrology). When you've finished looking at the adorable Asian- and/or rabbit-themed items in the treasury, do swing by curator LizzieJoeDesigns' store - you'll find home decor items made of wine corks! It would not have occurred to me to make wreaths and bulletin boards out of wine corks, but this store has them and they're really cool! They have a geometric quality to them that reminds me of Lego. Mmmm Lego...
The other treasury I'm in today is called -appropriately enough - Happy Chinese New Year! and features (among other lovely things), this clay brooch that's a dead ringer for an actual fortune cookie. I don't know why, but realistic-looking fake food always draws my eye. :) The curator, Zwzzy, sells vintage clothing - the pink satin ballet slippers in her store gave me a strong and unexpected pang of nostalgia (I wasn't a ballerina when I was younger, or in fact physically coordinated in any way...but I wanted to be a ballerina. Oh yes I did. A floofy pink princess of a ballerina!).
Thanks so much for including me, guys! :)

The Stats Page Doesn't Lie...
Today, someone found this blog using the search term "cat vagina".
Frankly, I'm surprised it took this long: those posts about my friend's cat's vagina have been up for weeks.
Get on the ball, perverts. Jeez.

Conversational Snippet #11: Cleaning Out the Fridge
Me: Huh. Apparently if you leave carrots alone long enough, they make their own gravy.

Cat Vomit Update
I still haven't figured out where Birchy threw up. However, there is inexplicably a grand piano sitting in the kitchen. And it's damp.
A Gentle Reminder
If you don't yet "like" She Said Pop's Facebook page, you totally should! Once I get to 55 people I'm gonna give away an adorable original painting of a flirty robot. I'm at 51 people now.
Also, if you like reading this blog but you haven't clicked the "subscribe" or "follow" buttons over to the right there, there's no time like the present! Doing this will bring my posts to you so you never miss anything.
And, as always, if you enjoy what I do (whether it's the blog or the paintings in my Etsy store)...please tell your friends!

Kittycat Alarm Clock Would Be an Awesome Band Name
There's nothing quite like drifting slowly awake in the morning, warm and comfortable in bed, and realizing you can hear the distant sound of your cat's digestive system going into reverse.
The heaving noises went on forever. It sounded as though he was barfing up a mahogany bedroom set, two bicycles, and a keg of beef barley soup.
But when I finally got up and went looking for the puddle to clean it up, I couldn't find it.
I'm frightened.
