Hallbark Greeting Card, a Saturday Centus


Our beloved Saturday Centus teacher, Jenny Matlock, has asked that we use this romantic image as inspiration for a Hallmark-ish Valentine greeting. The heartfelt message must not exceed 50 words.

I hope my contribution brings Hallmark down once and for all, in favor of a new line of Hallbark cards. You know, for dogs. Enjoy. Maybe. If not, who created this post? Darn hackers!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A Hallbark Creation

I’m a sad lowly mutt from Pom Beaitch

With a fetish for dressing in kitsch

They say “Dawg, your singing is pitch!”

Yo, I ain’t no looker, and I ain’t rich

But I really want you for my

Valentine.

    Robin,

    ABOUT YOUR REMARK ON MY BLOG...

    Darling, I think you are my sister from a Jewish mister! Seriously, you are such a hoot!I like your idea, let's declare tomorrow national chocolate day! I think that is brilliant!

    Anyway, I am NOT stronger than you! I just give up sugar one day at a time. It's my daily choice. At 51, I feel better when I am not on a sugar high, and then dumped on my ass after the sugar wears off. That is so painful for me. You see, I can't eat just one piece of chocolate. I will eat a one pound box of See's candy in two days. (or can I be honest and say a day and a half)

    Sugar causes inflamation in our bodies. Inflamation causes all sorts of disease, like arthritis, diabetes, kidney disease...the list is long.

    I was so inflamed, seriously! My whole body ached all the time from all the crap I was ingesting, particularly sugar. This is why I decided the pain of the sugar was greater than the joy I felt eating it. (I don't know if that makes sense)

    I just re-joined the Italian American club of Maui, and today they met at the winery in the mountains of Maui. We had a chocolate buffet, and I indulged in a couple (4) different tasty chocolate treats. Once a month or so is not gonna kill me. Pound and pounds every day of the stuff will.

    What I know about life is that I can't ALWAYS or NEVER do anything. I got rid of that mentality, or I will drive myself crazy. So just for today, I allowed myself a chocolate plate of goodies to participate in the celebration. Was it worth it? Not so much. I have gotten more pleasure out of my dark chocolate bar I keep in my refrigerator for emergencies. I am not craving the sweet anymore. It has been 5 1/2 months of abstaining from sugar and wheat, and I lost fifteen pounds and feel sooooo much better. (I eat like a pig, and lose weight, who would of thought?)

    Okay, kick me off my soapbox, I am rambling.

    Have Valentine's Day Robin! I will be thinking of my soul sister in Paradise and toasting my singleness with you!

    Aloha!
    Lisa xo

    inspired verse, Robyn...yeah I think it's not easy to chill with kids. One can drift very quickly into anality. David.

  32. Rawknrobyn.blogspot.comFebruary 13, 2011 at 8:55 PM

    Lisa, you have me in stitches again, sister! I am inspired by you, though. I do feel the (bad) effects of sugar/chocolate on my body and completely understand. I'm just not there yet, but I admire you. You're also right not to abstain altogether. Abstinence (in any realm) only causes misery. Big hugs for a happy chocolate day in Paradise. xo

    David, thanks. Hope you have some anality-free moments on V-day. ;0)

    Oh girl!

    I'm reading these on a dreary Arizona winter weekend and laughing my butt off.

    This was really hilarious. My husband thinks I'm crazy cuz I keep calling him in his office and reading them out loud to him.

    Guess I should just make him read all the links!

    Thanks for being such a good sport AND totally rocking this prompt.

    You are a gem!

    Dear Robyn,
    Sorry that I am late with my comments. I am working backwards trying to visit everyone that I have missed earlier.

    Thank you for your kind words about my Hallmark-post. I really like yours. I think Hallmark should consider your idea for a new line of canine-cards! Doggies have the right to a love-life, don't they?

    You put a smile on my face!
    Best wishes,
    Anna
