My favorite blogger has always been and I dare say always will be Metalia. If you do not read her, go read this post, come back and you’ll know why I adore her so.
If you do read her?
Enjoy this-what happens when an overtired Jew and a punchy Mormon stay on chat too late.
************************************
M: How WAS the Hallmark thing, btw? (Asking about the day I spent touring Hallmark world headquarters in Kansas City last month.)
C: Amazing. I want to have its babies.

M: Yeah?

C: When Gabi says “Casey sort of fainted when she encountered this room. ” she meant “Casey sort of died when she encountered this room.” My dream is to work there. Ironically Kansas City is where we wanted to end up in the first place.
M: MAKE IT HAPPEN. You are one of those people that seems to be able to do that.
C: And then i can have hallmark babies and send everyone Hallmark cards about them.
M: DO IT DO IT DO IT “So, you’ve gotten into your first fender bender!” “Happy Talk Like a Pirate Day” etc., etc.
C: “There really are some days kids are only good for tax deductions!”
M: HA! “You know what you do for a pulled groin? Nothing. Feel better…whenever”
Okay, so maybe that one’s not the best
But someone in my office just pulled his groin!
C: it made me lol.
M: What card do I send him, Casey? THERE ARE NO PULLED GROIN CARDS!
C: “You make me LOL when no one else can, Happy Anniversary.” “If a blogger LOLS and there is no keyboard to type with, DID IT REALLY HAPPEN?”
M: There should be twitter-centric cards, too. “If I could follow you 10 times, I would. Happy Valentine’s Day, lover.”
“Sorry you only got five comments on that last post, Blogger. You’ll get StumbledUpon soon!”
C: “I love you enough NOT to send an e-card…cherish me.”
“Don’t let the fail whale get you down, sport!”
M: “I want to retweet our love for all the world to see.” So, basically, what I’m saying here is that you and I should MAKE OUR OWN GREETING CARD COMPANY.
C: NO KIDDING. etsy here we come.
M: PEOPLE WOULD BUY THEM, I don’t know if that’s sad or not, but whatever.
C: I KNOW. I’ll make a potato stamp of the twitter bird!
M: I have ribbon, so.
C: I have a graphic design degree!
M: I have…still, just some ribbon
but it’s pretty!
pretty ribbon!
C: never underestimate ribbon, hallmark had frillions of ribbons. FRILLIONS!
M: And also, I can do calligraphy. Frillions, you say?
C: I have good handwriting…
M: We should do this, this might be my sleep deprivation talking, but STILL.
*****
Who wants to be our first customer?
(Oh, and my legs from the other day? Me being too lazy to unpack my big girl razor and instead using the disposable two blade razor which was readily available, and also which was apparently half bloodthirsty vampire.)

ME ME ME! I come from a long line of Hallmark lovers, but your cards are super appealing, especially the twitter-themed ones. But I would have Hallmark’s babies, too. Seriously. My mom? Has a PLATINUM Gold Crown card. It’s kind of embarassing. We go to the mall or whatever and she whips it out to pay for her 30 cards she’s buying and the sales clerks start calling people out of the stock room to look at it because they’ve never seen a platinum one in real life!

Camels & Chocolate….Damn you bloggers meeting up. Why doesn’t anyone ever visit Cleveland? Cleveland rocks.
Casey… Cleveland has American Greetings and I have been there a dozen times because the kids model and are some cards. That’s not the point though. The point is… that I too LOVE going inside. My dream job. And it’s virtually next door.
Perhaps it’s time for me to get my foot in the door. I would faint.

I’ve got a hot glue gun! I’ll even invest in a bedazzler if I can work for your newly formed etsy company! I was a, like, a sorority girl, so not only can I use aforementioned items, but also puffy paint, and know how to sing/cheer/chant about it. If you ding me for production, I can totally be spirit department. And as for your poor legs, I hope you’ve recovered!

Oh, you. You know the feeling is mutual. Now, break out your potato stamp, missy. We gotta get to the card makin’. I will bring…the ribbon. IT’S ALL I HAVE. Sigh. xoxo

If y’all were actually selling these cards maybe I would have been able to buy my friend an actual graduation card instead of just one with a dog wearing a newspaper hat…what do you have for that says “hey congrats you finally got out of college, 5 schools and 7 years later, hope you get to go back for 4 more”?

And don’t be upset that I’m probably going to use FRILLIONS now. Trust me, if it’s in a blog, I’ll credit you for the brilliancy.

I, for one, have always found the dearth of pulled-groin cards absolutely appalling. I think there’s a niche market for you there

Cards by Moosh and Metalia, coming soon to an Etsy shop near you!
