So, ya'll know by now that my blog-mistress is a bit of a nut.

I mean...a nut about walking!

*ahem*

She says it keeps her butt and brain from getting mushy.

*ahem*
She also likes to take pictures of stuff she sees along the way.

She shot this one yesterday...

Oh...she also has to listen to music and/or talk on the phone whilst walking...

so actually the ol' gal is capable of walking, talking, listening,

AND taking pictures at the same time.

*WoW*

All I gots to say about that is....

WALK ON!

Olga's Cupful O' Wisdom For Today

As you walk along the Road of Life...

Every once in a great while,

If you're very very lucky,

You'll encounter something, or someone,

That just makes the whole world seem brighter...

(Bright Yellow Flowers ~ found walking along the road in Chico, California)

And if you don't know where you are...

or even where you've been...

Suddenly you'll know

Where you want to go!

You may have noticed that my blog-mistress has not been

~~paying ATTENTION TO ME!~~

around much lately...?

Well...there's a ~~perfectly~~ somewhat logical explanation for that...

you see, she's going ~~crazy,~~

~~through a mid-life crisis,~~

back to school.

So... instead of cruising 'round the blogosphere in her jammies 'til long past noon everyday (and night!)...she's having to go to bed at reasonable hour,

be up before the sun, organized, disciplined and use her all of brain!

Which has thrown the ol' gal ~~for a loop~~ just a little off course...

She assures me that normal blogging activities will resume....but in the meantime, she's asked me to "cut her some slack" and "show a little support!"

Yah, well I've Been There, Done That!!!...so...I guess it won't kill me to do it again...

I just hope it doesn't kill her!

Life's Too Short To Stuff Tomatoes

2009-03-12T20:59:00.000-04:00

I just overheard my favorite ol' git, Daddy Papersurfer,

~~mumble~~ twitter this profound thought:

"Life's too short to stuff tomatoes."

Which may be true..

but,

what I wanna know is...

Is life too short to stuff tomatoes in your cups?

Please offer up your profound thoughts on this (or any) subject in my comment box!

Personally,

I have had enough of this dang COLD weather!!!

I just wanna go hang out on a beach...

and feel the blazing, hot sun penetrating my straps...

the soft, warm sand grinding into my underwires...

and a nice, stiff breeze caressing my oh-so-delicate cups...

*oh my!*

I'm feeling a LOT warmer already!

I hope you enjoy my Maui Sunset photo

You're So Sweet You Make Sugar Taste Like Dirt! (...or something like that)

2009-03-07T17:14:00.000-05:00

Fuel My Blog has extended an offer to their members to try products for free in exchange for an (unpaid) review on their blogs. Last month, my blog-mistress reviewed Smooth Away hair removal product, and this month she sampled the 100% natural sugar substitute, Fructevia.

Fructevia is a patented all natural proprietary blend of Fructose, FOS, Stevia and Magnesium Carbonate.

Fructevia is about twice as sweet as sugar so you use half as much.

Fructevia has less than 3 calories per serving and does not affect blood sugar levels like sugar so it is safe for diabetics, low carb dieters, low glycemic dieters, persons suffering from hypoglycemia and more.

Fructevia tastes exactly like sugar. If you find that it doesn’t, send it back and the company will refund your money in full. No questions asked.

Fructevia contains no GMO’s, Gluten or chemicals. It is completely a product of nature!

We, (my blog-mistress and I) think Fructevia is an awesome product and plan on using it in place of sugar on a regular basis. Although she will prolly not be baking brownies from scratch again anytime soon....please check out this short video and you'll see why!

You Don't Have To Shave Your Legs....

2009-02-07T20:28:00.006-05:00

Believe it or not,

I have an opinion on pretty much everything...

(except for sports and politics 'cuz I think they're stoopid and yucky)

...so when the good folks over at Fuel My Blog asked if I'd be willing to particpate in their Product Testing Scheme (try free stuff in exchange for an honest and unpaid review on my blog) I said, "Sure, sign me up!"

Well, since bra's don't have hair, I let my blog-mistress have a go with the first one - a hair removal product called Smooth Away. Here's her review:

Upon opening the box, my first thought was "Sandpaper?!"

But according to the Smooth Away website the product contains "superfine crystals that buff the hair away." (Which, come to think of it is kinda like sandpaper, isn't it?)

I used the large pad on my legs and was pleasantly surprised that the hair on the outside of my shins did indeed come off rather easily....but the hair on the inside of my shins, around my calves, ankles and knees did not budge. Nor did the hair on my more "sensitive areas"...'nuff said 'bout that. Then I tried the small pad on my face (not that I have a lot of hair there, just some blond fuzzies) and unfortunately it only irritated my skin.

So, my not-so-humble-opinion of Smooth Away?...if had a lot of time and patience and really fine hair, then perhaps this product would come in handy (it does claim that with continued use, less hair will grow back and it will be thinner than previous hair)...but for now, I think I'll stick with my good old fashioned razor.

Fracas's Mole-Inspired Poem

deserves it's own post!

(And you can read it here!)

Olga, Olga… oh so sweet;

loves to travel, more so to tweet.

Her mistress ma’am… a lovely lass;

with mole like Marilyn, and lots of class!

Friends from far and wide the same,

share a goal… a common aim.

To care for Olga, have some fun…

and send her off when their time is done.

Someday she’ll be a tv star,

If Dave or Ellen would raise the bar.

And invite her on their network show…

Dear Olga’s clasps would surely glow.

She’d have the chance to do some good,

talk of smooshing boobs, I’m sure she would!

That mole might then, be famous too, Shawn.

No one deserves it more than you!

Fracas...you are the BEST BOSOM BUDDY

a bra'wd could ever ask for!

DOUBLE-D THANKS! Mmmmmm-wah!

**Please visit Fracas' blog to read her inspiration for this AWESOME poem in this post!

An Ode To A Mole

2009-01-10T14:53:00.000-05:00

Daddy Papersurfer, my favorite ol' git,

Entertains us with his wisdom & wit

And apparently he not only dribbles & drools....

but dabbles in prose & poetry too!

(He wrote the following about

my blog-mistress's mole!)

If people stalked the interweave

And looked at TwitPic carefully

A sight to see! I don’t deceive

Blog Mistress snogging openly.

And blatantly for all to see

A mole placed so delicately

That if not told so clearly

Could be a drop of dark brown tea.

Go look if you don’t believe

The truth’s out there - honestly,

Not a blemish you must agree

It made me smile and go “tee hee”.

(Thanks DaddyP! You've made her mole very happy!)

*****************************

(To which Jaffer replied:)

What a beautiful little poem

To a little spot of beauty

Odd it is put into poetry

A mole and words from A to M

****************************

(And then Speedy said:)

Ode to ode, tweet to tweet,

Hey that picha is really neat.

A mark o beauty, on a cheeky cheek

You have a nice schnozzoli,

Better than my big fat beek

Son was there, he gots a goat teet

Which is also really neat.

Guack a guwacka mollie

I have a huge one on my bum

That my lil comment fer U,

Now I haz 2 run.

*****************************

(And Miss MoneyPenny's two-cents on the subject is:)

I'm happy to see your Mole,

Wasn't hiding in a fishing Hole,

While Speedy Speedcat was on Patrol,

Trolling for fresh fish of Sole! :)

What's New @ Dear Teddy?

2008-12-29T02:13:00.000-05:00

Those silly ol' bears at Dear Teddy are still telling tales

and busy making memories...

Replacement Bear (aka: RP) traveled all the way from

California to Great Britain to meet Snowy Bear for Christmas!

And despite having lived a very sheltered life (like in a box for the past 40 years?!?) RP appears to be coming out of his shell...and had a grand time romping around the beach with his new friend!

Caught In The Moment...

2008-12-28T02:15:00.000-05:00

Sylvie D (aka: Mrs. Fuel My Blog) is very talented artist, photographer and blogger with an eye for beauty and a knack for making some truly inspiring photo collages...which can be found on her personal blog as well as on the

Fuel My Blog's Blog, in a feature she calls

Fueller's Got Talent.

Each week, Sylvie picks a few pictures from the Fuelmyblog Flickr Group that highlight the talent amongst the Fuel My Blog community...

and the results are always surprising and a pleasure to behold.

This week I was happy to see one of my photos (lower left) as well as a couple from my bloggy-buds, Claire (upper left) and 70steen (upper right) included in this beautiful collage ~

Sylvie says, "The beauty about taking pictures is to immortalise what has moved us for a split second, what has made us stop in our tracks, admire and made us grab the moment."

(Click the picture to enlarge it,

and click here to read why she chose these particular photos.)

If you have a blog, I encourage you to join Fuel My Blog - there you will find lots of quality blogs, friendly people, forums, helpful hints and useful information about blogging, contests, and well...in my not-so-humble-opinion, it's just the BEST blogging community around!

'Twas the Night Before Christmas

2008-12-24T14:37:00.001-05:00

Oh Christmas Tree...oh Christmas Tree...

...how bodacious are your branches!
with ME upon them!

While I'm hanging with Diva in Tennessee for Christmas,

I wonder what my blog-mistress's kids are doing back home in California?

Probably sleeping under their Christmas Tree

and listening to mom read The Night Before Christmas

like they always do on Christmas Eve.

I wonder if they'll remember all the words this year?

(Note: Despite what you see and hear in this video,

both kids really are straight "A" students

and my blog-mistress does not have a lisp!)

Semi Wordless Bra Tuesday

I don't think Nurse Amanda Hugankiss will mind if I show off her handiwork...she's quite the wiz with a needle 'n thread!

For this cute little Santa Bra, she used leftover sutures and dental floss from Hollydale General Hospital Clinic and Beaver Taming Salon!

What a gal! So crafty AND thrifty!

Ho Ho Ho!

7 Things About Not About Me Meme!

2008-12-05T02:26:00.001-05:00

Whilst (still!) traveling from Norway to my next destination...

70'steen tagged me with a meme...~~dang it!~~ what great timing!....thinking up stuff to reveal has really helped take my mind off the fact that I've been stuck in the same uncomfortable position inside this cramped envelope for well over a week now...arg!...me aching straps!

Anyhoo....I've decided ya'll know enough about me (for now) so I tweaked the meme just a tad to shed a little light on someone whom I've had to put UP with for years....can you guess WHO?

SEVEN THINGS NOT ABOUT ME

(hee-hee)

1. As a child, she met Charles Schultz, the creator of Peanuts, at his home/studio in Santa Rosa, California and he graciously drew and autographed a picture of Snoopy for her.

(But this is not it)

2. One of the many ~~bad habits~~ skills she acquired during college was beer chugging...(even while standing on her head!)....which earned her the dubious title of Chico State 1978 Pioneer Week Beer Chugging CHAMPION! She started training early

(but this is not actually her)

3. Coincidentally, that same year, she missed registration for the next semester 'cuz she was "too busy" tubing down the Sacramento River practicing her "skills" & whatnot...so she just took the semester off...and never went back. (someday she will....)

4. She loves this movie...especially this scene!

5. She puts peanut butter on her BLT sandwiches. HEY! Don't knock it 'til you've tried it!

6. Believe it or not, she once lived on...

(no comment)

7. She is not fond of heights. Nor does she like driving in the fog...or at night. She really doesn't like driving across bridges....and she hates windy (winedy?..windey?...windee?...WHINE-DEE?!?) mountain roads.
*Check out this SHORT video and you'll see why!

GOSH...This was fun!

Oh, and TAG - you're it!...if you want...

Semi-Wordless Bra Tuesday (on Wednesday 'Cuz I Forgot!)

2008-12-03T02:29:00.000-05:00

No...that does NOT mean I won't talk all day!....that would be stoooooopid! Wordless Bra Tuesday

is brought to you by the good Doctor and Nurse over at Hollydale General Hospital Clinic and Beaver Taming Salon. And my decision to post a knitted bra, was inspired by this lickle post!

(Wanna play WBT? Just post a bra on your blog on Tuesdays!)

Olga's Post-Thanksgiving Day Report: Phew....I'm STUFFED!

2008-11-28T03:00:00.000-05:00

And believe me, stuffing these DD's takes effort!

But like every good All-American bra,

yesterday my cups were overflowing with turkey and stuffing and

mashed taters and cranberries and yams and green beans and gravy

and THREE kinds of PIE!

{{ugh}}

So today it's back on the treadmill with a big ol' bag of my beloved

SUGAR SNAP PEAS!

I'm so cRaZy about these snappy little veggies...

I bought a t-shirt declaring my love for them!

And (as promised) here's a picture of

me in it!

Oh...and here's one of my blog-mistress wearing it too.

Me: "SNAP! OK....you start it! LOL!"

Him: "I think I may try my hand at this!"

And sure 'nuff...he did!

Here's Jaffer's SUGAR SNAP PEA MEME

Ten Cent Tipsy Has Found His Name & Shipped Out!

2008-11-13T16:35:00.000-05:00

The dear old bears at Dear Teddy recently asked if any one recognized this poor old bear who'd not only lost his way, but also his name! Luckily, Hungry Mother (aka: Bill McArthur) recognized his old sea chum, Ten Cent Tipsy (named for his two bad habits: drinking too much and stiffing the bartenders) and so now Ol' Ten Cent (or TenCee for short) is on his way to Bill's winter home in Florida...where Bill assures us that TenCee will have "good fun kayaking and fishing in Naples and the Everglades. He won't get bored."

THANKS BILL!

Hey! Do YOU have a Toy Story to tell?....if so, why not send it to one of the teditors at Dear Teddy? ~ Busy Bear, Snowy Bear or Grumpy Ted would love to hear from you!

An Ode To The Old Git On The Occasion Of His 60th Birthday

2008-11-06T16:38:00.000-05:00

DaddyP, DaddyP

you mean so very much to me.

You make me shiver, you make shake,

and you made my straps almost break.

You took me on a little stroll
and served me tea and sausage rolls.

You filled my cups with rocks and dirt

and acted like such a flirt.

You made me stretch and get all dirty,

then hooked me up with your llama Gerty.

You lost my eyes and now I'm blind

But I can adjust, I don't really mind

In fact, all I really want to do

is send a hug and kiss to you

And tell you today,

as you are one year older,

that it is my honor

to be your Boulder Holder!

Happy Birthday DaddyP!

love,

Olga, et al.

HEY - It's Grumpy Bear's birthday too!

CHECK IT OUT at Dear Teddy!

I'd rather not talk about it but what I would say is it involved a rough sea crossing, losing my ID over board, and one too many tots of rum.....the sun was over the yardarm I hasten to add. My name is on the tip of my furry little tongue but alas it just won't come...

THE REST OF THIS INTRIGUING STORY can be found at Dear Teddy

where Busy Bear, Grumpy Ted and Snowy Bear

are holding a CONTEST to help jog this poor ol' bear's memory.

*And the winner gets to take him home!

So, please visit Dear Teddy

and help this poor ol' sailor find a name and a home!

Oh, and as for my whereabouts?...I am currently "undercover" and cannot reveal my exact location....but rest assured I am in excellent hands.

Very excellent. So, please stay tuned...

Smoosh Your Boobies!

2008-10-24T11:20:00.000-04:00

The other day, Claire and I were discussing Doodle Week, which starts tomorrow, October 25th with the theme, Doodle PINK BOOBIES....in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and naturally, that got us to talking about doodling...

...and boobies
...and our doodling our boobies
...and then Claire said she'd like to paint her boobies

...not just doodle them

...and then, one thing led to another

...and somehow we decided it would be really fun to paint our boobies

...and then smoosh them onto a piece of paper

...to make a boobie-print

...like a hand-print

...but a lot more interesting
...and THEN we thought

...let's try to get as many bloggers as possible to do this too and send us their boobies-prints

...and we will post them all HERE on Halloween in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

...WHAT A GREAT IDEA!

SO, HOW 'BOUT IT, FOLKS?!? Let's SMOOSH SOME BOOBIES! Boobies of all sizes, shapes, colors and genders

are encouraged to participate!

(This is either my or Claire's feeble 1st attempt at a Smooshed Boobies-Print)

How to SMOOSH YOUR BOOBIES:

1. Tape a piece of paper to the wall (at boobie height)

2. Choose your color(s) of paint

3. Apply paint to bare boobies with a soft brush, fingers, sponge, or whatever

4. Smoosh your boobies onto the paper (you might want to experiment a little with holding them together and/or guiding them into position)

5. Repeat as necessary until desired effect is achieved

6. Shower

7. Take a picture or scan your smooshed-boobies print

8. And email it to Claire or Olga no later than Thurday, October 30th (Include your name/blog's url if you want a link back)

We will post them all at Smoosh Your Boobies on Halloween...and of course, feel free to post your boobies-print on your blog too!

Prizes will be awarded for best boobies-print, most original, most life-like,

best use of color, etc!

ALSO: You GOTTA visit Claire's blog to see BOOBS GALORE!

It Was Bound To Happen Sooner Or Later....

2008-09-05T14:37:00.000-04:00

...seems my white-trash cousin (twice removed, at least, on my mother's side) -

Ms. Ashleigh Anne Chickensworth - has finally made a name for herself!(And you can do it for yourself here!) She's been cast in a supporting role in the new major-blockBUSTer-straight-to-DVD-movie, The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Bra! (*WARNING: Rated R for Raunchy) Now, for those of you (DaddyP) still worried about MY recent "dalliances"....don't you feel kinda silly?Thanks for the link Kuanyin!

I'd NEVER do anything to embarASS my pal Speedy!

2008-09-03T22:16:00.001-04:00

Unless...

He ASKED FOR IT!

And he did...

You Asked For It, Blessing....

2008-08-21T11:09:00.000-04:00

Well, gosh...after receiving yet another plea from "blessing" today,

(see previous post) I felt it would be just plain bad manners not to reply!

(Ideas gleaned from several actual scam emails found on the web)

Buh-wah-hahahaha!

This I One Blessing I'm NOT Counting!

2008-08-20T11:10:00.000-04:00

OK, I know ya'll get these stoopid emails too....

but this one really busted me up!

If the horrendous spelling and grammatical errors aren't bad enough...does "blessing" even realize he/she is writing to a BRA?

I am so tempted to "be in communication...and see

what happened in the future."

Bra-ha-hahahahaha!!!

PS: I just got word that Dimitrios, the Traveling Greek Bra Detective has landed in Paradise and is gearing up for his trip to St. Maarten! Have fun Dimitrios - wish I was there!

TA-TA! (for now) My Little Friend...?!

2008-08-16T11:17:00.001-04:00

I would like to thank MedStudentWife of Another Day in Paradise for being so flexible and accommodating (two of my favorite characteristics) and allowing me to postpone my visit with her (in Ottawa, Canadialand) in order to stay on track with the busy travel itinerary that my ~~slave-driver~~ blog-mistress has set up for me through the end of the year! (Phew!)

This change of plans is actually turning out to be a blessing in disguise...because MedStudentWife has been promising to make a pair of nice warm fur cup-liners for me for almost a year...and so it just makes sense that I come back and visit her during the cold, and downright nippy month of February! Unfortunately, this means I'm missing out on going to the Caribbean next week...but hey, as usual, my loss is someone else's gain! Watch the video to find out who!

My Final Drowsey-Monkey Blog-iversary Update ~ (so far..)

2008-08-02T19:53:00.000-04:00

Hoo-ray for Drowsey! She bagged a big one!!!

I'm SO happy for you Drowsey!

HAPPY BLOG-IVERSARY to a GOOD FRIEND

and a GREAT SPORT!

Where Did Drowsey Go?!?

2008-08-02T19:50:00.000-04:00

Well,

someone just sent me this picture of

our beloved Drowsey Monkey

taken very early this morning.

Apparently....she's gone hunting!

It's what every good blogger does on their 1st Year Blog-iversary, eh?

(Drowsey....time to wake up! Or more photos could be on their way....)

Don't Be Confused Drowsey!..........It's Just A Global Blog-iversary Posting Party For YOU!!!

2008-08-02T19:00:00.000-04:00

My Pal Drowsey Monkey is not only one of my favorite bloggers and an all around terrific person...today she is celebrating her ONE YEAR BLOG-IVERSARY! Woo-Hoo!!!

And, it's been nearly that long since I was first drawn to her blog by this post: A Large Penis Is Good To Have. (A-hem.) And curiously enough, if you read the comments on that post, you'll see that it was also our good buddy Speedcat Hollydale's first visit to Drowsey's blog too! AND not only that...but Drowsey's comment back to me on that post states that she was (surprise surprise) "confused" by my comment! And so set the stage for a year of some of the funniest and most memorable blogging moments I've ever had, and the development of a friendship with one of the nicest people I've ever met.

Whether I'm reading one of Drowsey's hilarious, astute, or heartfelt posts (*see the best of the best here), or we're "stalking" each other all around the blogosphere, or staying up waaaaay past our bedtimes having one of our now infamous late night e-mail "gab-sessions", or conspiring to PhotoShop some part of Speedy's anatomy....getting to know this woman has been an honor and a total BLAST!

Besides her sense of humor, what I appreciate most about Drowsey is her warmth, openness and genuineness...she has a gift for story-telling that makes you feel like you're sitting next to her in her living room (with her cats) and sharing a cup of coffee (with Baileys, of course) and maybe even with that creepy ol' neighbor peeking in through the window. Dang!...if we only lived closer, I KNOW we'd be hanging out together and cracking each other up ALL THE TIME! In fact, I don't imagine we'd get much else done...but...it sure would be fun! (Actually, in September I really AM gonna visit Drowsey! So stay tuned for THAT!)

HAPPY 1st BLOG-IVERSARY TO

MY PAL DROWSEY! This clam's for you!

{{{HUGS!}}}

Like this one from Drowsey Monkey fan, Jack Payne...
Happy Anniversary, Drowsey:
As long as you don't take bus trips up there in bushwack country (I have that beheading of the blogger on a bus in mind), you are probably safe to pursue your career as one of the world's foremost bloggers. It's said that the colder the X-Ray table, the more of your body is required on it. This blogging addiction is much like this. However, you seem to have mastered this craft, with omnipotent powers of communication. When in doubt about an upcoming blog piece, merely sprinkle some of your Holy Water on it--and go with it.
Cheers! ~Jack

Olga Needs....

2008-08-01T03:27:00.001-04:00

Mimi, (aka: the Queen of Meme's) of Mimi Writes tagged me with The Needs Meme...All you have to do is Google your first name with the word needs behind it and post the results. Easy Peasy! So here are a few of the 3,460,000 results from the two pages of Google Search for "Olga Needs." (To spice things up a bit, I also searched Google Images for "Olga Needs"...and included a few of those results too.)

DANG!...I never knew I was so needy!

Olga needs a mom

Olga needs to meet a man!

Olga needs a family that will accept her and her siblings

Olga needs to look up billy joe!
Olga needs to stick with her merengue and salsa music

Olga needs shoes that cost more than $200

Olga needs a swim suit

Olga needs to release a soul to the afterlife

Olga needs a glass of water! (*this was a comment from Speedy on my blog!)

Olga needs some more oats

Olga needs to be renamed "she who sheds a lot."

Olga needs to revisit, however, other painful memories

Olga's needs to go national and share its tasty Olga goodness with the rest of the US

Olga needs Olga

*I TAG WHOEVER WANTS TO DO A QUICK AND EASY MEME!

Doodle Me Once, Doodle Me Twice, And Doodle Me Once Again...& again...& again...

And so, another successful Doodle Week (finally!) concludes with ~

"Doodle Body"

I Doodle believe I am, unDoodletedly, the most well-Doodled

bra in the history of Doodles! (Or bras!)

( . )( . )

I'd like to give a great big Double-D CUPS UP to my current Chaperon - THE "Doodle-Mistress" with the most delightfully demented sense of humor of anyone I know (except for maybe...oh well, never mind - you know who you are!) - the Lovely Claire !

Thanks for making me Doodle myself crazy! 'Twas FUN!

Gotallama?

2008-07-19T03:00:00.000-04:00

It's true what they say...

You can't Pet A Luma....

But if you are nice...

I'll let you Pet My Llama!

She's from Petaluma.

Eat your heart out Gertrude.

Doodle Week/Day 5 ~ "Doodle Evil"

WARNING:

The following is a true story and is not for the faint of heart. Proceed at your own risk.

I have a confession.

I've had some "work" done.

A little "nip-tuck."

You know, cosmetic surgery?....

OK, it was a total over-haul!....but FOR A GOOD REASON!!!

Back in April 2007, a mere 2 days before I was scheduled to set forth on my very first adventure as a Traveling Bra...I suffered some serious "front end damage" at the hands, or should I say, jaws of my Oregon Chaperon's lovable, but rambunctious, Airedale Retriever who has something of a penchant for chewing on underwear! (Note to future Chaperons: Please do not leave me hanging within reach of anything with sharp teeth or claws.)

My poor, distraught Chaperon tried to stitch me back together, but soon realized that the results not going to be in keeping with my reputation as a classy, attractive, and well-preserved bra'wd. Thankfully a body-double was located and my quick-thinking Chaperon sewed my original TAG inside my back strap. This was important because, as everyone knows, the TAG is where a bra's heart and soul reside.

So even though I have undergone a horrific ordeal, mutilation and plastic surgery...underneath it all, I am still the same old Olga I've always been. Maybe even better! :)

(A side note: My blog-mistress knew nothing about this unfortunate event until we were reunited in July 2007 at Lake Almanor...at first, my altered appearance really confused the poor ol' gal, but after learning of my near death experience, she readily embraced me...just like the good old days!)

UPDATE: Claire has posted her Evil Doodle/next exciting installment of the continuing Adventures of Willy, the Non-Sex Toy and Olga, the Traveling Bra...it's really really HOT!!!.... CHECK IT OUT!

I Love The Mountains...

2008-07-17T03:00:00.000-04:00

Doodle Week/Day #4

"Doodle Vacation"

Since I've always been a huge admirer of great big beautiful mountains, I'd love to vacation somewhere like the Grand Tetons in Wyoming...or Las Tetas De Cayey, in Puerto Rico...or, with any luck (and a few connections) maybe someday I'll be lucky enough to visit The Olga's in Australia! My dream vacation would also have to include cows because I just love 'em...cows make me feel udderly happy and remind me of my roots (Petaluma, California.) Add plenty of sunshine, a few (dozen) boxes of dark chocolate, and lots of full-bodied red wine and...I'm a happy camper!

***So, I wonder what Doodle-Master Claire's got in store for me today? Yesterday's wild outer space adventure damn near killed me...(although it appears Alien Drowsey had a GOOD TIME!)...not to mention confused the heck out of everyone!...How about you?...Click here to see if YOU really know what's going on! (And if you do, can ya please let me know?)

Ummm... I could REALLY USE a little boost!

Oh My Gawd! It's only Day 2 of Doodle Week and already, I'm seein' stars!

Here's my contribution to "Doodle Outer Space"

Be sure to scroll down and check out the scary "Doodle Bugs" that Claire doodled for me yesterday...I'm not sure what those moths are up to, but I something tells me, as Doodle Week progresses, more shall be revealed. So stay tuned right here...and there!

Feel like giving me a little boost?

Thanks!

( . )( . )

Better to Have Doodled Late, Than Never to Have Doodled At All!

2008-07-14T20:25:00.000-04:00

Seeings how my blog-mistress was AWOL (in more ways than one I might add) today, I was feeling rather droopy about missing out on the first day of Doodle Week. But thanks to the artistic talents of my thoughtful Chaperon,

Claire (aka: Ms. Doodle-Bug) I now have a Doodle!!! Woo-Hoo!

"Doodle-Bug"

Uh-oh! Click here to see the "before version."

(Thanks Claire!)

What Do a Jock Strap, 2 Bras, a Non-Sex Toy, a Pair of Dog-Panties, and a Condom Have In Common?

2008-07-10T13:21:00.000-04:00

The answer, of course, is ME!!! (In my not-so-humble opinion, that is.)

You see, Dorky Dad claims it was ME who inspired Frank, the Sedentary Jock Strap to finally get off his butt and go DO something....unfortunately all he ever did was terrorize the Dorky household! Frank, what a nut case...

Inspired to travel, but directionally challenged, poor little Petra Wellpaddedton, the Orphan Bra took one wrong turn and ended up on the doorstep of Daddy Papersurfer! Thankfully, Fracas rescued Petra just in the nick of time...(long story/read it here.) Petra has been in the Fraccy Rehab Center undergoing intensive therapy ever since.

And then there's Sheila, a HUGE pink bra who's been causing some big rumblings Down Under as she travels around supporting friendship between women in Australia...very inspirational.

Claire's traveling Non-Sex Toy, Willy has been popping up all over the blogosphere! (And seen poking his cute little head around in some rather unusual places too.) As you know, Willy and I are currently hanging out together, and we're busy inspiring each other night and day...right NOW as a matter of fact!

After seeing how much fun I'm having, Dot, the Traveling Bikini Dog Panties felt inspired to take off with Cici, the dog and CeliaSue, the human to go traveling 'round the country in search of lots of fun and exciting dog-friendly destinations!

And now, we can add yet another name to this List of Things I Claim To Have Somehow Inspired To Start Traveling That Normally Don't Go Traveling Around By Themselves (yes, I just made that up)...meet, Henry, the Traveling Condom (no, I did not just make that up - Relax Max did.) Good Luck Henry! And travel safely!

Hmmm.....maybe I should change my name to Olga, the Inspirational Bra?

2008-06-12T03:00:00.000-04:00

It Wasn't My Turkey They Were Googling!

2008-06-07T03:01:00.000-04:00

Well...Top Secret Undercover Agent Senator Speedycat Hollydale has used that big ol' head of his and solved the mystery behind the many sudden hits I've been getting! (Over 1,100 in the past 2 days!)

The day before yesterday, the infamous Maxi Mounds, and her mind-boggling size 36MMM boobs, was finally awarded the official title of Worlds Largest Augmented Breasts by the Guinness World Book of Records...and I had mentioned Ms. Mounds in my Cookin' With Olga post...and if you Googled an image of Maxi Mounds during the past few days, well...CLICK HERE to see what you would get!

Yep...that's ME right there in the #4 spot...hanging off of a nekkid turkey...next to 482 images of Maxi and her ginormous B( . )( . )BS! I am so proud. (And I have no idea HOW Speedy discovered this either...) Oh well, at least the mystery is solved! And I shoulda known boobs would be the problem...AND the answer.

So Speedy, with that load off my mind, I am awarding you the super-coveted and even harder to get Olga's Golden Underwire of BRA-very Award for solving this titillating mystery! ~~Double-D~~ Triple-M THANKS!

Dona Nobis Pacem

2008-06-04T03:01:00.000-04:00

In the Fall of 2006, Mimi Lenox of Mimi Writes wrote this simple post,

and thus began Blog Blast for Peace, a semi-annual event where bloggers worldwide are encouraged to customize and simultaneously post a beautiful Peace Globe on their blogs.

Here's my show of support!

Mimi writes: "Wouldn't it be AWESOME if on one particular day...All bloggers everywhere signed their blog name across a globe and all posted the SAME POST on the SAME DAY...What IF...every person who clicked through the blogosphere saw hundreds - even thousands - of posts that said the SAME THING? What IF...every post was simply titled "Dona Nobis Pacem" (Latin for "Grant Us Peace") with a picture of our big beautiful world in the body of the post with each blogger's name screaming a great big GRANT US PEACE? The Peace Globe. What if...we added the power of the written word - and our blog names - to the face of our world? Simple. And powerful."

Thank you Mimi!

Elvis, the Traveling Dog ~ PETALUMA, California

2008-06-02T03:02:00.000-04:00

Meet Elvis!

...isn't he handsome?!

Elvis is a Minature Pinscher and The Mayor's right hand man ~ therefore, he travels everywhere with The Mayor. But Elvis also has a knack for getting his wee paws into a bit of trouble now and then, so I thought the two busy guys-on-the-go might appreciate this nifty dog-carrier! It was part of the cool prize package I received from winning the Name the Traveling Dog Panties contest at Cuppa Writing for the Soul....and is courtesy of DoggyTug dog toys. As you can see, Elvis really digs it.

Elvis also thinks DoggyTug tug toys are grrrr...grrrrrrr...grrrrrrrreat!

But keeping up with The Mayor's busy schedule, and looking so

doggone handsome all the time is hard work! Time for a little nap.

(I bet his dreaming about a cat...he hates that cat...)

PS: The video of my blog-mistress' cRaZy dog, Lainie, playing with her DoggyTug tug toy is now featured on the DoggyTug website! Check it out!

Speedy Election Update!!!

2008-05-29T00:36:00.000-04:00

He said: "Ask not what you can do for the Boob, but what you can do for the holsters!!" How profound!

3. Presi denti golf balls for Crusty (That's a Good Neighbor!)
4. All speeches made in loin cloth! ("Woo-hoo!")
5. National Day of Bra Awareness. (Double "Woo-hoo!")

7. Paper money gets cartoon and scratch and sniff capabilities. (Way to stimulate the economy!)
8. Anyone can stay over night at the White House. (PARTY!!!)
9. WCT (Wordless Chicken Tuesday) becomes a national paid holiday. (FINALLY!)
10. I (Speedy) will sing the standards every Sunday night on FOX!!! (with special dedications to my blogging pals) (I'd like to request Moonriver?)

So there ya go!...What more could ya possibly ask for?!...It's a NO BRAINER!...Cast your vote for Speedcat Hollydale for President!

My Favorite Redneck

One of my favoritest bloggers/human beings is Mr. Robert Bourne formerly of Robert's Road, whom I have affectionately dubbed Crusty because of his claims to be a "Crusty Ol' Truck Drivin' Redneck." Perhaps he is, BUT he is also big ol' teddy bear with a heart of gold, wicked of humor, and knack for writing some of the most beautiful, thought provoking poetry I've ever read. Robert has published a book of poetry reflecting his life on the road as a longhaul truck driver; Life and Love, From the Road. He says, "There are many long days and weeks alone in this occupation. This is how I passed the time and dealt with the loneliness."
Check out his website, From The Roads, andpick up a copy his book for yourself!
Oh yeah....and be sure to hug a redneck today too! ;)

Speedy For President!

2008-05-28T02:54:00.001-04:00

Newsflash! Straight from Senator Speedcat Hollydale's new campaign headquarters:

In a time of skyrocketing gas prices, a recession, and another non-stop war, we need a man in the government who can at least make us laugh every day!
For real comical change in the White House next year, vote for Senator Speedcat “Speedy” Hollydale!

Think of it...A Chicken In Every Pot and A Big Boob in the White House! It's just what our country needs! Well, Speedy's got my FULL SUPPORT! Show yours by posting Speedy's campaign button and commenting on the orginal post at Miss MoneyPenny CPU today!

ALSO: MJ of The Infomaniac has posted a really nice tribute to little ol' moi on her blog! Considering the, ummm, unusual nature of most of her posts, I am really quite flattered! Thanks MJ!

A Little Something for Drowsey....

Click it....go ahead...you know you want to....

And the 20,000th Olga Oogler is.....

2008-05-08T03:20:00.000-04:00

I'm very happy to announce that tonight at 10:17 pm, Miss MoneyPenny was the 20,000 visitor to my blog! Woo-hoo!!! Miss MP has been providing incredible 'round the clock coverage and keeping the entire blogosphere abreast of all the latest developments in the cRaZy Donut War between the USA and Canada! And thanks in part to her secret defense squad, The 36DD Stealth Brassiere Bomb Squadron, there appears to be a cease fire!

I think.

I'm not really sure.

Oooops!... maybe not!!

To show my appreciation for her dedication, sense of humor, and hard work, not only will Miss MP receive at least a year's worth of powdered sugar and rainbow sprinkle donuts, but I am also giving her the coveted Olga's Golden Underwire of BRA-very Award for going above and beyond the call of duty! Congratulations Miss MoneyPenny!!! Now you just say "when" - and we'll shoot those donuts your way...air mail!

SUGAR BOMB!

2008-05-07T03:18:00.000-04:00

THIS JUST IN!!!

Chico, California has been bombed with what appears to be massive amounts of powered sugar!!!

...surprising the pants off local residents, many of whom were outside enjoying the warm spring weather and trying to get a head start on their summer tans. Area livestock were hit especially hard...

...and the normally Happy California Cows are now anything BUT happy! An especially angry rooster is demanding a full investigation and PETA is sending in a team of therapists to help counsel those who have been

traumatized by this bizarre attack! AFLAC is already on the scene assessing the damage...
...and residents are being warned to stay indoors until authorities can clean things up.

So far the only clue as to WHO could possibly be responsible for this mess is this photo taken of a suspicious looking character who was seen driving a FedEx truck past my blog-mistress's house earlier in the day...(He looks kinda familiar to me...???)

**UPDATE: Miss Moneypenny's elite 36DD Stealth Brassiere Bomb Squadron is currently poised and ready to lend major support in case of another Sugar Bomb attack. Phew! But what I really want to know is....

will this madness ever end?!?!?

Happy Tails to You.....

Still Supporting Speedy's Wordless Chicken Tuesday

Olga, the Traveling Inspirational Bra

2008-04-11T15:27:00.000-04:00

Looks like word of my pioneering journey as the world's first Traveling Bra is creating quite a stir in the undergarment underworld! With the exception of a few uptight knickers and conservative granny-panties who've gotten themselves all bunched up in a wad over my "alternative lifestyle," most of my peers have been very supportive! In fact, I'm happy to report that several of my contemporaries have even followed suit!...

Remember Frank, the Sedentary Jock Strap?...that strappy little guy with a BIG ~~drinking problem~~ sense of humor? Well, he still doesn't feel very comfortable outdoors, so he's busy creating ~~havoc~~ his own little adventures inside Dorky Dad's house! In fact, now I'm beginning to wonder if Frank was involved in this latest Dorky Dad fiasco! Some say Frank's nothing but a dumb jock (and a royal pain in the a$$,) but I say it takes balls to do what he's doing, so cut him some slack, OK?!

And then there's Sheila, a HUGE pink bra who's been causing some big rumblings Down Under as she travels around raising social understanding (as well as a few eyebrows) and friendship between women. You go girl! With any luck, the two of us will hook-up and compare notes someday!

And most recently, my attention has been drawn to a new breed of roving undergarment...and one that needs a NAME! Can you help? (You could win a prize!) Please visit Cuppa Writing for the Soul to meet the cutest doggone pair of panties you'll ever see...and enter the contest too!

But first, please tell me....since Traveling Undergarments are apparently on the rise...have you checked yours lately?

...And I'll Show You Mine!

2008-04-08T03:01:00.000-04:00

My desktop tends to change with my mood (so, yeah, that would be frequently) ~ currently it's this photo of my blog-mistress' daughter running and leaping across a reflection of the sun setting on the beach in Maui. I just love it 'cuz it looks like she's gonna take off flying! WOo-hooooo!

So, there ya go Crusty! - I know it's not the "risque" reveal you were hoping for...but since you said this meme was "payback"...(for WHAT!?!?)...

I'm just considering it "tit for tat!"

Hmmmm....I wonder what

2008-03-17T14:05:00.000-04:00

I-rish you all a very happy and uplifting St. Patrick's Day! Here's a little something green to tack on your blog!

Now, I'm sure ya'll have a very busy day of ~~drinking~~ working planned today, but try to find time to stop in over at DrowseyMonkey's to see a hilarious video of none other than my trusty blog-mistress and some of her bloggy-bosom-buddies gettin' a wee bit jiggy! Then, go visit Grandad, at Head Ramblings, for an authentic taste of Ireland...(altho' he did seem kinda grumpy yesterday...but maybe we can cheer him up?) Just tell him Olga sent you!.......then RUN!
(Just kidding...he's a sweetie!)

And now, please lift your cups and toast with me: Here's to you and yours, and to mine and ours. And if mine and ours ever come across to you and yours, I hope you and yours will do as much for mine and ours, As mine and ours have done for you and yours! Sláinte!

Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later...Frank, the Sedentary Jockstrap...distant cousin, twice removed, on my father's side...has reared his ugly head over at my pal, Dorky Dad's blog. You gotta go check this guy out!

Loin Cloths ~ They're "Not Just for the Islands" Anymore....

2008-03-04T12:52:00.000-05:00

Word's gotten out that Speedy's been moonlighting as a loin cloth clad exotic dancer in order to help fund his insatiable appetite for fried chicken! And, he's become somewhat of an overnight sensation too...look who's already on the cover of Rolling Stone! So, why a loin cloth, you ask? Well, Speedy says, "Loin cloths?? Ohh sure, they are very comfortable. Not just for the islands." (See his comment in my previous post.) You heard it here first folks!...but you can also read and see more about Speedy "Loin Cloth" Hollydale over on my pal Drowsey Monkey's blog!

Hmmm, I wonder...could this be the beginning of "Loin Cloth Tuesday?"

Send your Loin Cloth photos to Speedy and let's find out!

I'm Kind of a BIG DEAL & Have a BIG CANDLE too!

2008-02-25T12:53:00.000-05:00

The T-Shirt I won for being in the Top 100 Blogs at FuelMyBlog arrived the other day...And as promised, here's picture of me in it! Thanks Kevin & Sylvie...and to everyone who's ever fueled me up!

AND...

as if THAT wasn't enough excitement...the cool Peter G. Candles centerpiece I won from this FuelMyBlog contest also just arrived! It's beautiful, HUGE and smells like cinnamon! I LOVE it!

BUT...

I nearly bust an underwire when I saw what else was inside the box....

Yes...it's PETRA!
Rescued a couple of months ago by Fracas and her Famous Fraccy Posse from a near death experience (i.e., made into a kiwi-support device by certain person who shall remain ~~faceless~~ ~~headless~~ nameless, but whom Petra has forgiven and sends her breast wishes)...Petra has been recovering quite nicely with her brave and bodacious saviour in Canada ~ where my bee-yoo-tiful candle was also made AND where I am convinced some of the nicest people on earth reside! Little Petra and I have been having a ball bonding over over a few Sierra Nevada Pale Ales (yum, my favorite!) and merrily dreaming about our next exciting globetrotting adventure! Ya know what?.....I just love FuelMyBlog and all of my supportive blogging friends! The world is a better place because of people like YOU!

The (gasp!) Last Wordless Chicken Tuesday?!

We wants ta have a word with you...."

2008-02-05T12:59:00.000-05:00

I just received what appears to be a RANSOM NOTE for Crusty's beloved, missing boots! Word has it that Drowsey has received a similar message at her blog too (click the picture to see it!)

What ever could this MEAN????

Newsflash: Big Busted Women No Longer Have To Go Broke Supporting Themselves

2008-01-30T13:01:00.000-05:00

Asda, the second-biggest food retailer in the U.K. and owned by U.S. giant Wal-Mart, has announced that they are "putting an end once and for all to one of the last prejudices - that of the bigger-busted woman" (huh?) because all of their (George brand) bras, from A cup through to F cup, are now exactly the same price.

Well, isn't that just peachy? Now British ladies of all sizes can pop into the store and pick up their milk jugs, melons and themselves ~ for less!

Wordless Chicken Tuesday in Chico, California

(For Speedy's Wordless Chicken Tuesday)

Olga, Revealed

2008-01-24T13:04:00.000-05:00

Christine of Chicken Fried Therapy tagged me with a meme that challenged me to "Reveal to the World What I Carry in My Purse! "
Unfortunately, I don't carry a purse.

(Or anything else for that matter...anymore!...tee-hee!)

Fortunately, I came up with the next breast thing! Allow me to...

"Reveal to the World What I Might Look Like if I Were a Purse!"

How about an ample and oh-so-bodacious Bustier-style purse?

This spiffy little polka dot number is a "traveling bra bag"...and will safely transport your favorite bosom buddy from here to there, without risk of wrinkling, smooshing, or (gasp) getting crushed!

How about stuffing your bare necessities...(cell phone, credit card and chocolate)...into this elegant, beaded beauty? Pure genius!

And finally, don't under-estimate the value of an older, or "mature" bra...

sure, we they may not be packing a pair of perky Ta-Ta's anymore,
but with just a little nip-tuck...waa-laa!...mama's got a whole new bag!

Inspired? Feel like trying your hand at making a bra purse of your very own? Click here for instructions. Got any old corests laying around?...check this out! And find even more fun things to do with your old bras (or even your friends bras?!) on my website!
Ta-ta (for now!)

Double-D thanks to Mimi of Mimi Writes for tagging me with The Band Meme! It was fun and easy and the results are (in my not-so-humble-opinion) ROCKIN' Awesome!

Here's the deal:

Follow these directions to the letter.

It's fun and requires no thought at all.

http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four words of the very last quote is the

title of your album.

http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/

4. Use your graphics program of choice to throw them together and

make your band's album cover.

If you do this meme, please leave me a comment

(I wanna see it!)...and of course, pass it along....

Here's my cover:

This was so much FUN, I'm taggin' my entire Blog Roll ~

The Archive Meme - Taking A Look Back

2007-12-30T13:22:00.000-05:00

How timely! I've been tagged with a meme to help me "wring out the old & ring in the new!" I'd like to thank my bloggy buddy Kuanyin of Blog-Blond for tagging me with this Archive Meme in which I am supposed go through my blog archives and choose my 5 favorite posts about (1) family (2) friends (3) myself (4) something I love (5) oh boy - my choice!

All this retrospection got me wondering about where this meme started in the first place...so I began backtracking the links beginning with Kuanyin...and 25 blogs later, I'd virtually traveled from Maui to Australia to South Africa, all around Asia, over to Italy and Guatemala, and then right back here to the good ol' USA...where I found the meme's originator ~ Kyra of The 108! Phew! I'm pooped!...but it was totally worth the trip, because Kyra's blog is hilarious and her meme is a GREAT IDEA! She says, "I think this is a great way to circulate some of the great older posts everyone had written, return to a few great places in our memories and also learn a little something about ourselves and each other that we may not know!" I couldn't agree more!

And so, without further adieu...

here there are...

#1) FAMILY:

Even though I don't hang around my "Ex" like I used to, I certainly don't hold anything against her...and as my blog-moistress, still figures prominently in my life...so I guess you could say, in a strange twist of fate, she's become MY biggest supporter. Har-har! Anyway - her family is my family, so I'd have to pick these 2 posts ('cuz they go together) :

Cookin' With Olga

and...

My Post-Thanksgiving Post - An Afternoon at Canyon Oaks

#2) FRIENDS:

Where would I be without my friends?!? Probably in the dollar bin at the Salvation Army, that's where! It's hard to choose just one post because ALL of my posts are about friendship in one way or another...but I'm choosing

Chester & Lake Almanor, California Because I had soooooo much fun hanging out with these
Bosom Buddies on the 4th of July

...AND......I learned to waterski!! Weeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

#3) ME:

EASY! Has to be when my Awesome Georgia Chaperon surprised me with this:
None other than famous country western singing star,

Mark Wills serenading me on my birthday!

#4) SOMETHING I LOVE:

A tough choice ~ I love everything! But I will always have a very special place in my heart for the place where it all began...Petaluma, California.

In Hot Water: Petaluma, California

#5) MY CHOICE:

While getting lost in the mail is certainly not my favorite memory, I sure do appreciate the all-out, world-wide effort to locate and rescue me from...

PO BOX HELL!

Th-th-that's all folks! 'Til next year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Now, according to the instructions of this meme, I must tag 5 other people...including at least TWO of whom are newer acquaintances in order to get to know them better...I think I'd like to get to know ALL these folks better:

Bluepaintred

Daddy Papersurfer

Divalicious of Diva

Julie of Julie's Blog

Kate of Finding Boddie

Speedy of Speedcat Hollydale!

Archive Meme Instructions: Go back through your archives and post the links to your five favorite blog posts that you've written. ... but there is a catch: Link 1 must be about family. Link 2 must be about friends. Link 3 must be about yourself, who you are... what you're all about. Link 4 must be about something you love. Link 5 can be anything you choose. I think this is a great way to circulate some of the great older posts everyone had written, return to a few great places in our memories and also learn a little something about ourselves and each other that we may not know. Post your five links and then tag five other people. At least TWO of the people you tag must be newer acquaintences so that you get to know each other better....and don't forget to read the archive posts and leave comments!

Toss Me Gently Toss Me Slowly

2007-12-28T13:23:00.000-05:00

Yesterday, fellow blogger, Sullicom alerted me to this startling news: Apparently, these two buddies from Toledo, Ohio were traveling together on the I-75 and, though they deny it, making rude gestures to a carload of teenage girls...when suddenly a red bra that was hanging on the girls' car antenna came flying through the air towards them, causing buddy #1 (the driver) to freak out, swerve and crash the car!

Both guys were injured and subsequently sued the teenage girl who's bra had gone airborne. And now buddy #2 (the passenger) is suing buddy #1 for "negligent driving"...but buddy #1 claims he wasn't negligent, he just didn't "recognize the flying object as being a bra!" Yeah, well maybe that's because in the news article it is described as being a "dog-chewed red bra!" OMG!

If dangling a chewed up bra on the antenna of a speeding car-load of semi-dressed teenage girls, so it then gets tossed straight into the path of Dumb and Dumber isn't a clear cut case of BRA ABUSE, then I don't know what is!

This is not to say that bras should never be tossed...done correctly, tossing your bra can be fun for both you and the bra....but puh-leeez, if you are going to toss a bra, do it right - toss it gently, and never at high rates of speed.

So, what's YOUR take on bra-tossing?

Have Yourself A Nutty Little Christmas!

2007-12-25T13:24:00.000-05:00

I don't think my my blog-mistress will mind if I say that I think her family is a little bit nutty...after all, they put up with ME for years...

and Chico IS Where the NUTS Come From!

But aren't they CUTE little nuts?

And I thought I'd share with ya'll a photo of the prize-winning flowers my "Ex's" parents (aka: Nana and Papa Nut) received on account of my winning this month's caption contest at Go! Smell the Flowers!
Merry Christmas from All the Nuts

in Chico, California!

PS: Santa did bring the youngest nuts their digital cameras!

Woo-hoo!
