Wonders of Test Piggy

I sometimes wish someone was sitting next to me taking dictation of the frantic phone calls i recieve from my younger sister when i am at work.
this was the gist of yesterdays...

TP: Laaaaaauraaaaa
(from the exaggerated pronounciation of my name i smell something is up)
Me: what is it?
TP: ummmmm I think my flight leaves tonight.....(as in monday night)
(internal groan -the number of times i have heard her say she leaves late tues early weds i thought she actually knew what she was talking about)

After some discussion we agree that yessss 12:something or other AM def means mon night.

TP: why do i always mess this up??
Me: i dont know
TP: more incoherent whining noises I guess i will try and change the flight

end of conversation #1

After a bit she calls back
TP: I cant change the flight
Me: well then get the tomorrow off work. Can you do that??
TP: yessssss

and this is the point were i KNOW she is calling for me to do the big sister thing. Her lil head has gotten overwhelmed by this one snag and now she is in the beginning of slight panic mode.....

Me: Call your friend and let her know. Leave a message with her Mom, see if you can get the hostel info, call about your rides, double check when you are getting back, have you packed yet?? go home at lunch and back...
TP: okaaaaaay
Me: I have no sympathy for you about this. You do this every time.
TP: I know (exboyfriend) used to take care of this
Me: well obviously he isnt around anymore and this is really your responsibility
TP: i know i know
Me: You need to realize that you are bad at this and make a better effort to confirm the actual time fo your flights

Seriously the number of phone calls where i end up being a walking moral to an afterschool special.

This is for the 9yr old stuck inside the 25yr old Test Piggys body... the one in charge of flight info and remembering bad TV from out youth.

It's like Free but with paying



"If a headband is your daily accessory, you might as well be wearing a bonnet."
I thought this was the perfect way to start off a MASSIVE post on T-shirts. It has been a very dull and sloow week at work so i was able to dedicate about 6 hours yesterday to online window shopping.

I went here:
TroundUP LINK
and here
Shirt Snob LINK
and here too
Pop Thirteen LINK

and all that took me to soo much more....
Quixote clothing LINK
There just are NOT enough sites with goat shirts and turkey pins



Uneetee LINK
Their Motto: one day, one artist, one cool shirt.
Their MO: kick ass original you cant resist
My fav from the collection


Oddica LINK
oooo May sale 1 for $20

get this one... oh wait two for $32

get this one too ohhhh wait 3+ is only 16 apiece


And here is the point were just looking turned into i am only going to get a couple ...
These next two are from the sale bin at Cotton Factory LINK


State slogan shirts OUT state Apocalypse IN


This one is for Test Piggy and is also were i would like to place a fat HARRUMPH on this site for making all the girl shirts 3 dollars more. Such a rude way to do business.


These next ones are from Poison Apple LINK
My first reaction to this site was "i WANT it ALL" as i clasped my hands under my chin and my eyes got bigger and bigger. i conservatively got 2.



And the guy (we'll call him Mark since that is his real name and all) who owns & operates Poison Apple def wins in superstar customer service award for sending me 3 emails in an hour about the 1 question i had.
Mark here is your award: ****SUPER*STAR****


Disappointment of the DAY
really really wanted to get a shirt from THIS site but wasnt able to create an account on line. Am still going back and forth with there customer service to figure this out. Unforch have yet to get any helpful suggestions to solving this problem. Whatta tease they are, lots of great designs, lots of great charities and limited runs. am getting sad just thinking about it.

Lets not end on a bad note
this will lift the spirits
