My desk is covered in colored Post-its where I scrawl writing notes, things to do, and things to buy. On an orange post-it, I've written, Get Cyrus Out of Exile.
What does this mean, you ask? Whenever I sign onto the The Nan Stop, I see my pack of 17 faithful followers... (Hello, Readers!) but then there is a notice that reads, "You have one anonymous follower." And next to it, is a ghostly faceless, nameless head. I always read it aloud in a chilling voice....(think Vincent Price from Michael Jackson's Thriller)...."You have one anonymous follower!! Moo ha ha ha!" I know it's Halloween time, but this scares me. After a little bit of investigation, it turns out this anonymous reader is Cyrus Irani, my best friend's hubby. I asked him about it... and in earnest he replied that he doesn't know how to escape the anonymous group. So I ask you Nanstoppers, someone... anyone... Cindy.... please.... help Cyrus out... because that message gives me bad chills every time I read it.
Next on the check list.... show off the first Halloween costume Tinger has made for herself....
We call it, "Tingerfly." And there will certainly be more to come!
Next Item: (And I'm sorry to turn my blog into a Marketplace....) but I'm trying to sell my rain boots. I've only worn them twice, and long story short... they are too big, but I can't return them, because at some point... probably during my move from D.C. to Ann Arbor.... I threw away the sales receipt and return shipping label from Zappos. Dumb-dumb, I know!! But please see the ad I posted on Craigslist below:
Hey! I recently purchased a pair of Navy Blue Tretorn Rain Boots from Zappos.com, but they are a too big on me. I'm unable to return them (...) but since I still need rain boots, I was hoping to cut my losses, sell this pair at a reduced rate, and get the same pair in the correct size.
The original price is $85. I'm hoping to sell them for $75, or the best offer. They are basically brand-new, with no scuffs, marks, or wear and tear.
The side-strap is adjustable to accommodate any calf size.
They are listed as size 8.5. (I think these run a little big, though, so would be best for someone who is more of a size 8.5 to size 9.)
For more detailed info on the boots, you can check them out at Zappos: http://www.zappos.com/tretorn-langta-black-gray (Go to the website, but then change the color option to Navy/Light Blue)
Readers -- please let me know if you're interested!
And Finally... I'd like to share an important news report from my favorite vital news source, The Onion. This was sent to me by my former co-worker, Mona, who has a good eye for (fake) news:

Happy Weekend, Readers! xoxo

Your tingerfly is quite disturbing. Yes, quite.
ReplyDeleteI did this myself, lured out of hiding to be a competitor in Tinger's contest. After signing in, I see my name and faceless icon under "Faithful Readers" along the right side of the page. Directly under my name, there is an options menu, where I clicked 'site settings.' A new window opens with my own profile info, including my settings for the nan stop. It will say one is following 'anonymously' (or otherwise 'publicly'), and that word will be a hyperlink. Click it to change the setting.
ReplyDeleteNanlee, could I possibly get a costume for my thumb? That would be awesome.
ReplyDeleteEunie: Disturbing? I thought you were going to say "covetable."
ReplyDeleteAngela: Thank you for your help! (And be advised... there is another contest on the horizon for Halloween!)
Sarah: Please email me your shipping address. Tinger will see what she can do. :)
I'm out of exile!! I'm a named follower!!
