We have 12 Blessings Unlimited pillow cover winners! {Forgive the small print, I did email each winner this morning so check your email!}
And one grand prize winner of a $100 Blessings Unlimited shopping spree:
Jenn Prather {emailed you this morning Jenn} gets to add $100 of meaningful beauty to her home, yay Jenn!
And a little something for those of you who didn’t win, I thought this video was appropriate for this weeks topic ~ I like this one even better than put a bird on it.
OH MY!!!! I had my first laugh of the morning, that video is PRICELESS
Watching Fred Armisen struggle to fit into that tiny sweater sent me over the edge. Hilarious!! Great clip. :) I think it is funnier than “Put a Bird On It.”
Congrats to the winners. :)
Great clip! I did gag a bit when she ate that watermelon. I wish they’d shown her with that tubing as her sleeve. Priceless.
tracy, if you go to youtube you can see a longer clip–it shows her wearing the sleeve and even more unappetizing things at their dinner party, you are welcome.

It’s a good one, BUT it’s pretty hard to beat Put a Bird On It!!! :)
So excited to be a winner, thank you!
I lost it at the watermelon bit… Gak!
Oh. My. Gosh. I’m all for recylcling but eating the watermelon out of the dumpster! She must have one heck of an immune system. Sometimes jusk is just…junk.
SO excited to be a winner. I am pretty sure I have never won anything in my whole life. :)
Well, except for that airline ticket when I was 6 and they convinced me to walk down the aisle of a packed, in-flight, Shamu-shaped aircraft imitating a penguin. We don’t discuss that one much, though.
I am so excited to have won a pillow cover! Thanks so much! But I’m having an awful time picking which one I want: Walk in Grace, or Peacefulness…ack! I can’t decide!
Oh my goodness I live in Portland and this show is soooooo funny because us portlandia people are actually kind of like this!
I’ve just started reading your blog, I’ve just recently started my own blog, and I’ve just started Portlandia Friday nights! I’m having fun with all three. LOVE your blog…and you are so stinkin’ funny. I went back to your very first posts in ’07 so I could get to “know” you better. (Well, that and to see how poorly I probably have started out on my blog). Thanks for inspiring me!
Cackling over this clip! That tattered lantern killed me. “People will just throw anything away…” Once again, Nester, perspective on other people’s junk. Thanks for the laugh! And especially for all the honesty this week. Timely for me!
I watched this clip and thought it was totally hilarious, especially because I’m known to dumpster dive on occasion myself (although I’m a lot pickier than they were!) My Mom was never ashamed to pick up great stuff by the side of the road, and we always called ourselves “grublets” and I have a friend who refers to it using her own verb: “trash picking” (as in, I’m out “trash picking” right now.) But the Portlandia clip was so totally over-the-top that it was super funny!
But then this morning I started thinking about it even more, and realized that the grossest part of the clip (to me) when she eats the watermelon, is a complete reality for some many people in the world. In Spanish, there’s even a term for “garbage people”: pepenadores. It means people who live off of other people’s trash, while residing in or near public dumps. Many of them are children or orphans.

Nester, In many ways your new “style” works so well with the ideas of helping the less fortunate, and I love your site, partly because you really seem to elude to that. I’m really “getting it” lately that although we have *never* had a lot of money (still don’t) we can give even more, if we take (or buy or keep) even less. We need a lot less than we have. Thanks for helping me on that journey.
You got me! I’ve never seen this show and at first I’m thinking WHAT???? OMGosh YUCK!
I love the clip, as a Portlander myself it is both hilarious and embarasing to see this show, its too true! Love your blog
