Happy 2013! I've been sicker than a proverbial canine the past few days, and I think it's the flu. For me, one of the worst things about having the flu is the caffeine withdrawal headache. With a regular cold, I can power down a cup or two of coffee even when I don't feel like it. But with the flu, NO way is anything going into my mouth besides saltines and watered-down Gatorade. Which means a massive caffeine-withdrawal headache on top of the chills and nausea. It's the only time I've thought seriously about popping caffeine pills. But I resisted, because when you don't have caffeine for a few days and then you have it again, it's like, KA-POW! (In a good way.)
Anyway, I thought I'd start the year by posting December's best search terms! There were quite a few goodies last month that somehow landed people on Butch Wonders...
That's it for today, folks. Back to my watered-down Gatorade! Much love to you for the new year!

I am sooo stoked! The "Pets & Their Butches" calendar--inspired by YOU all, is finally here. It took, oh, 20 times longer than I expected to make it, but I think it was worth it, and I hope you do, too. I received hundreds of submissions for the calendar--far more than I expected! I couldn't use them all, but congrats to the butches whose photos were chosen (as a monthly photo, or for the front/back cover, or for May or December, which are photo collages)! Special thanks goes to my awesome DGF for making some of these photos much better and higher-res with her amazing Photoshop skills. This is such a cool example of butches coming together to create something awesome. I hope you'll consider getting one. They come in three different sizes. Order two or more and get 50% off with the code 2CALDEALFREE. Alas, Zazzle makes 75% of the profit (if I do this again, I'll look into better options!). But 25% goes to support Butch Wonders--yay!--and after I cover my own costs, I'll be donating 100% of the profits to a local animal shelter. So, what are you waiting for? Go check out the calendar(!), and while you're at it, see if you like any of the other goodies I've created. Last week, I had a Facebook contest in which I asked readers to send their favorite pictures of themselves with their pets. The best photo wins a collar charm from Pooch Park Wear. I received photos from nearly 100 readers! I'll put at least one photo from each person in the slide show below. (Warning: make sure you're sitting down, because the sheer cuteness is likely to turn your knees to pudding.) I had a lot of trouble deciding on the winner, so I thought I'd share my top five and let you guys vote on the best pic! Here are the contestants: Photo #1: Photo #2: Photo #3: Photo #4: Photo #5: ...And there were SO many other great ones, too! My brain was paralyzed by cuteness overload! Vote for your favorite, and whoever has the most votes by 11:59 pm EST on Tuesday wins the prize. Check out the rest of the awesome entries in the slideshow below. And HUGE thanks to all the wonderful readers who shared a pic of themselves and their pets--from cats to dogs to bearded dragons! How is it December? My November was sucked away by mono, and that's not fair. Now I'll have to party* twice as hard in December to compensate.
As is the tradition here on Butch Wonders, I'm sharing a list of the best search terms that have delivered Googlers to the BW blog in the last month:
* And by "party," I mean catch up on work. Happy Thanksgiving, dear readers! I wanted to take a second to tell you:
Whether you're gay or bi or queer or straight, Or have turkey or tofu or yams on your plate-- Whether you're single or looking or coupled or married, Whether you're chillin' or stressed out or sleepy or harried, If you're hanging with family or if you are not, If you're stuffed to the gills or not eating a lot-- If you're sick or you're well or somewhere in between, Whether you love today or prefer Halloween, Whether you're watching football or reading a book Or condemning those Pilgrims for land that they took-- If you voted for Romney or voted Obama, Or if you're a a grandparent, auntie, or mama, Whether you find yourself happy or sad, Or Black Friday makes you incredibly glad, Whether you live in Milwaukee or Texas, If you're taking the bus or if you drive a Lexus, Whether you're in the snow or huddled by heaters, I'm thankful for you, all my Butch Wonders readers! Cheesily yours, BW |
