Recently, my sister purchased Jenny Lawson’s You Are Here for me and it just arrived! So now It Is Here.
Here is a lovely picture of the book, propped up on my stove (which is turned off, of course).
Here is a picture of my bandage scissors!
Here is a picture of me with a signed copy of You Are Here!!
Since I cannot travel more than 1/2 a kilometer and have never met Jenny in person, I’m just going to let you process that one on your own. Printers and masking tape have their uses. I just thought her signature was so pretty, I had to have it in my book.
ON JENNY LAWSON
I love how creative Jenny is! For example, her penchant for dressing in frilly things and then taking pictures. Especially in the graveyard. So, totally, absolutely awesome. Actually, there was a reason in the end that she dressed up because she ended up giving away a bunch of lovely red gowns she was pictured wearing on her Facebook page, The Traveling Red Dress. My favorite, circa 2013, is pictured below.
I’m pretty sure that I’m too late to get a chance to win this dress, as a randomly chosen commenter. Let’s see, 2017-2013 = 4 years too late. That’s about my speed. Maybe I can donate a red dress? The facebook page The Traveling Red Dress seems kinda old, so I don’t know if the “donation of a red dress” is still hot or not. And wait, I just remembered I don’t have a red dress. But, I did go on a photoshoot once just for the hell of it and managed to get some red stuff in the pictures:
Yup, that’s all my real hair. You know, because so many people wear extensions these days. I’m totally not wearing a skirt in the above picture. So now I just need to get a skirt. I have some lovely red drapes that I could fashion into a nice poofy skirt. I thought this picture sort of resembled one of Jenny’s pictures I found on Google:
When you are a shut-in, you have to be creative. Or go batshit crazy. [Jenny, please don’t sue me for using your picture I didn’t claim it as my own or that I took the picture or that I published it like, I don’t even know how to do the photography thing, and I don’t have a lawyer either if I get sued please have mercy the pictures of you are not owned by me]
I think you’re awesome.
AND NOW FOR SOMETHING TOTALLY UNRELATED
Remember this picture?
Remember the pink purse Kelto is sporting? Well look what I found on the tags that were still on the inside of the purse:
I mean, who DOESN’T want a Celebrity Sexy designer Bible cover made out of plastic? “The design is neither intended to mislead or create any confusion…”
Sorry, confusion already created.
I hope to spend some time coloring in my new You Are Here book and hopefully, I can share the results with you in an upcoming post.
Thank you again to all of my readers – I’m glad you are here.
However you got here.
Cute!!! I adore Jenny Lawson’s blog. And her books. And the dollhouse she made. And her GIANT chicken! LOL

Fun Post!
You rode horses! You rode English! Most cool. I rode when I was in my teens, started out Western but changed to English. I liked English a lot better.
“Celebrity Sexy” and “Bible cover” don’t really seem to go together – but it does go nice with Kelto’s hairbow. 🙂

Yes, I did for a very short while. I grew up on a farm but was not allowed to have horses. I think I was about 37 years old when that picture was taken. I took to it rather quickly, now that I look back. Fortunately, I had a co-worker who spent months and months with me, teaching me how to ride proficiently with no saddle at all until I was able to do figure 8’s and circles and at least canter. She gave me a book (which is the last book I remember reading in its entirety) called “Centered Riding.” It drew from a holistic perspective in terms of energy and balance, surprisingly very similar to many of the techniques used in classical voice. So, when they said “we only have an English saddle left,” I was like, “ok.” So that pic is actually the first time I ever was on a horse WITH a saddle. And people that were there said I did very well. Sorry, you probably didn’t need all that information. But I don’t get out often and I certainly don’t own a horse, so that was kinda special.
I tried Western once since then and I found it to be bulky and not to my liking, I don’t know what it was. I think English looks nicer, too. 🙂
