Dear Diary:

When you're having a conversation with someone who does not know you, it's probably not a good idea to squeal with joy and offer to have their baby, especially if you're both the same gender.

Don't ask me how I know this, I just do.

I spent a large portion of this morning running around on The Wangitude Tee Shirt Quest. This was starting to look a lot harder than I thought it would be.

Caf� Press, my original plan, won't do sexually suggestive material. The spousal unit's 50th birthday is fast approaching. My e-mail in-box contains numerous rebuffs from on-line custom tee shirt makers who weren't interested in a tiny, two tee-shirt order.

I went to several local print shops, and none of them were interested in making up just two tee shirts either.

Uh oh.

Fortunately Mechaieh left a comment mentioning the option of do-it-yourself tee-shirt transfers. Who knew such new-fangled things existed?

I don't have the special paper and I don't have a colour printer, but maybe I could find a computer store that at least stocked the paper.

Nope.

It was starting to look more and more as if I was going to have to go into Montreal for this. After three hours of running around I decided to give up, grab some groceries and motor home.

The tiny village where I shop has an itsy bitsy internet caf�. On a whim I decided to walk in and see if she knew anything about getting the paper.

Well, not only does she have the paper, but she makes the transfers and irons them on tee-shirts for a very reasonable fee! O bliss! O thrills! And a couple of raptures!

So now all I have to do is find a place that will sell me two good quality plain white tee-shirts, wash them so the transfer will bond with the fabric really well, and appear at her door with the tees and the graphics file.

So now my to-do list reads:
1) buy white tee shirts
2) wash white tee shirts
3) remember not to squeal with joy and offer to have the babies of women I don't know.

Seems do-able.

This template is a riff on a design by the truly talented Quinn. Because I'm a html 'tard, I got alot of pity coding to modify it from Ms. Kittay, a woman who can make html roll over, beg, and bring her her slippers. The logo goodness comes from the God of Graphics, the Fuhrer of Fonts, the one, the only El Presidente. I smooch you all. The background image is part of a painting called Higher Calling by Carter Goodrich which graced the cover of the Aug. 3, 1998 issue of The New Yorker Magazine.
