Funstering Management certifies that no cakes, cookies, candies and / or chocolate charms were harmed in the making of this video.


Gorgeous flowers on the table the night of the CD release show were an FTD surprise from two wonderful friends: Patricia of Patricia’s Wisdom — where she’s always helping individuals create positive life change and… Davina of Shades of Crimson — for Coaching Perfection and Personal Development.  Apologies for the fuzzy picture, but… sometimes things do get a little fuzzy here in funstertown.

Pansy One
pansy, pansy in the ground
dancing in your velvet gown
here’s a poem to satisfy
all the poets passing by
 
Pansy Two
Diane broke the special pansy mug
I sent her back in my wildsummer days
of the Reliant Transportation System,
beach runnings and golden sealing wax.
I’ve never been able to find another
just like it and I feel I’ve failed her
(as I feel I’ve failed a few in my day.)
Have you seen a china one, embossed,
a mug as light as wedding cake and
shinier on the outside than seaglass?
Of so, please send c.o.d. with froths
of angels’ lashes and the salt o their
tears and I’ll mail you back my heart.

Pansy Three
I had no intention of writing pansy poems
or even of thinking about their little faces
today but my site stats show people are
hungry for pansy poems, as they are
hungry for world peace and the memory
of tea with grandmother’s lemon pie.
Wow, I’ll be a “Super” Semi-Somebody
with all these pansy seekers flooding in!
 
Pansy Four
Long-live pansies, Leonard Cohen’s daisies
and all twinkle shooters everywhere, waiting
with bouquets of freshly-cut kisses for me!

Hmnnn…?

[I’ve had a dozen successful CD sales through my yellow “Buy Now” button over there to the right, but] my shy graphic designer friend Jae of Zazzle note says when she clicks on it, she gets directed to another of my links and not to Paypal as intended.  Yikes.  Does that happen when YOU click on it?  [And don’t worry – clicking won’t mean you’ll have to buy, you’d have to go through a couple additional steps for that.  Could it be a Mac vs Windows thing?  A browser thing?  Cookie thing? Classic Funsterment glitch?]

And because a picture is always nice in a post, let me get a fav of mine for you, Kelly on our back porch 2 years ago. 

Folks, I couldn’t make these up if I tried! Funny SEO Keyword Searches, 2

Ordering The Funsterment

Ass Kicking | Posted by Jannie on 13 May 2009 @ 9:29 AM (64) Comments

MY FABULOUS NEW P.O. BOX !!!!!! – what a thrill.   Now I’m more than ever a semi-somebody! 

(Thanks Cedar’s Mountain blog for the “semi-somebody” contribution.)  🙂

Have you noticed the new buttons on the kind-of-upper-right-area of this page?!  Yes, three ways to add Jannie’s award-winning songstressing to your realm.  (CDs $10.00, plus low S&H.)

1. By Paypal / credit card (that yellow “Buy Now” button)
2. Send money to MY FABULOUS NEW P.O. BOX !!!!!!
3. Buy the CD here in Austin at Waterloo Records.

(I’ll work on that i-Tunes thing next.)

My aim is to get my hands all sticky with HTML code and replace those 3 buttons to the right with one gloriously feng shui “Buy Jannie’s CD!” button, to whisk you to my Buy CD page where you’ll commune with my spirit while ordering CDs to your heart and wallet’s content any time of the day or night, in any weather, in any manner of dress or undress.

And now…  a total non-sequitur…  what album(s) have you worn out playing?

I’ll go first…  U2s “The Joshua Tree.”   Carole King’s “Tapestry.”  And Bach and Handel’s “Greatest Hits.”

And have you noticed a fair amout of ass-kicking around here lately??
