Creampuff Apologizes for Truffleus Interruptus

I've been quite pleased with my rate of posting the last week or two - smug even. A post nearly every day? Suck it, NaBloPoMo! And then . . . came then.

We took on a new client late last week and they needed some stuff done fast. We promised we could deliver pure internet GOLD (and we are) but it means that we're working into the wee hours and getting up again before the wee hours are fully grown. We haven't cleaned the kitchen since Sunday, the dog keeps making sad, lonely noises and most importantly (and perhaps shockingly), we HAVEN'T HAD TRUFFLES IN DAYS.

That's right - I haven't been holding out on you. We have not had the time to savour our wedding truffles since Sunday.

We're getting a little punchy.

I feel like I'm back in university, studying for finals or finishing an overdue paper, awash with coffee, trying to keep a lid on the heartburn, wondering who's humming that annoying song and then realizing it's ME. Oh, and speaking of songs - have you ever had it happen where you really enjoy listening to a song but the singer is a little muffled or has an accent and so you only catch a few of the lyrics and it's not until you've heard it 12 or 15 times in three days that you look it up online and realize the slightly mournful song you've been enjoying is actually about some poor woman getting terrorized then murdered by a prowler at night?  Yeah. Me too.

On the plus side, the stuff we're working on is about Halloween costumes. Fun! And a lot of them look like this:

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaah!! That's right. Shiver me timbers! I hope I don't get a rash.

It's a slow day at work...

I wanted to thank you for not posting the snake charmer picture on your website. WHO would wear that?! And to WHAT party?

I think my Texas is showing.

I hope she comes to our door on Halloween.... hummina hummina!

I've been working like mad too, and for the first time in a long time I have heartburn. What's THAT all about?

[roro]

wenders - do you mean the female "sexy" snake charmer or this little number? 'Cause I haven't gotten to the "humourous costume" lens yet, my friend, and I'm making NO PROMISES. Hahahahaaaa!!

Trop - Dirty girl. As for the heart burn, for me it's stress, coffee and a lack of "good food" i.e. vegetables. We had some cauliflower last night, but it didn't do the trick. I love the fall but am so sad that all the summer veg is over. All the stuff at the grocery store looks like it's been in a fight.

Now if only you had the model to try on those costumes, just for exact fit measurements, of course.

I was feeling bad for you both, working so hard.

Now, I just feel for Kate (don't be nasty). I'm certain she's about ready to knock your ass out by now.

Thanks, Syd :) If it wasn't for my sleep-deprived state (the one where everything is HILARIOUS), I probably would.

One thing .. Roro is a terrible marketer. She should have posted links to all our work (some of it is just as good as a Creampuff post!). So, I'm doing it for her :) Enjoy! (I hope html works in her comments)

Well, I clearly poked around in that site, and was thinking of that second snake charmer costume, Roro. Again... really?! It amazes me that not only would someone come up with the concept, but that someone would manufacture it, someone would model it, and that someone out there is buying it.

[Marna]

For all you costume haters out there I happen to think that outfit is SMOKEN!!!!!

;) Rose you know me, I could totally ROCK that outfit!!! SO THERE!!!!! ;) Maybe I should wear it to the wedding!

[otilius]

yeeaaRRRRR!
yourrr costume shiverrrrs me timberrrrs!

[roro]

wenders - Oh believe me, I was shocked too. I don't know if you saw the "Down for the Count" costume but WOW. Good dirty Hallowe'en fun!

Marna - You are totally right. You would totally rock that outfit!!! And I can think of no more suitable wedding attire than a Licensed Playboy Pirate costume.

Otilius - Indeed.
