One Piece at a Time

Handy Dandy Sewing Light

Here is my find of the year for failing eyes. I ordered this sewing light from Karen Kay Buckley last week and it is GREAT. It’s very comfortable to wear for long stretches and gives great light. Go get yourself one right away. Your eyes will thank you.

Now for a funny absurdity to do with the packaging: I was looking at the side of the box when I noticed this.

Don’t see it? Well look here.

Yep, that’s right, one of the uses listed is PARENTING.

Now I don’t know about you guys but if any of my kids ever saw me looking like this

They might need to be hospitalized.

A Little Absurdity

One of the things I really think is fun in life is to observe the small absurdities of modern life. So, I’m starting a new category called “Absurdities” on my little blog so I can pass these things on to you.

I do a fair amount of photography and digital scrapbooking and my photo processor of choice is Costco, mostly because it’s 5 minutes from my house and I drive by it 4 times a day. For those of you unfamiliar with Costco’s website here’s a look.

Yesterday when I was logging on to upload pictures I noticed this.

Maybe it’s hard to read so here’s an up close.

Yep, that's right it says FUNERAL. Who knew, now not only can you upload your pictures you can order your own funeral online. I don’t know what’s funnier, that they even have this option or that right next to it is GIFTS and TICKETS. When I first saw this I actually thought it was combined, as in Funeral Gifts and Tickets. I thought about what kind of gift do you need for a funeral, or who would need a ticket to go to one.

For those of you who don’t possess my dark and entirely inappropriate sense of humor, sorry. As of yet I haven’t had the courage to click on the FUNERAL tab to see what’s in there. Kind of creeps me out a bit.
