Welcome to Heaven

Oh no.

Today, I was awakened by my dear mama saying "I bought you something at the dollar store yesterday!" and i'm thinking maybe a pack of gum or....I don't know....
Then she opened the door and handed me, literally, a peice of Heaven itself.


Give it a minute.
They are Jesusy car air fresheners.

Now...ok let me walk you through it


They are called "Sacred Scents", with 3 air fresheners (for only a dollar, that's actually a good deal...) one of a Cross, one of Sallman's "Head of Christ" and one of Our Lady of (of course!) Guadaloupe!

The scent they have given them is called "Saintly Cinnamon" but I think it smells more like an accident at a chemical factory. I wish I was joking, but...like it's ALMOST cinnamon but it's just far enough off from it that it's a little vomit-inducing. So I open the package and already am a little nervous since the smell is going through the plastic bag. I decide to open the one of the Virgin since she is, lets be honest, queen of all kitsch.



Ok at this point I'm vomitting. I've never smelled anything as strong as this chemical cinamon smell. I feel holier already since I'm desperatly thankful to our Lord for my 18 years of non-chemical soaked breathing.
Thar she blows

So I hold it up to the light in hopes that maybe I can get a half-way decent looking picture but when the wind hit it...I'm not even joking, ALL the smell left it. It is just totally scent-less...well almost scentless, but compaired to what it was literally 30 seconds before a gentle breeze hit it, it's empty.
WTH
Here it is, tied to my blind's draw string, keeping my statue of The Sacred Heart company.

***ALSO***
Just realized that the back of the package has a description of the product, and it's funnier than anything I could even think of

"Withing the busy and confusing moments of everyday life, there are times we want to be grounded by our faith and have peaceful reminders. Now, with Sacred Scents (TM), you can find that quiet time while at the same time, your car is being gently refresehd with one our six heavenly scents"
Not a type-o, "One our six" is actually on it.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
(no where does it say "DO NOT BREATHE NEXT TO THIS OBJECT" which I think should be in 72 sized font and read.)
Hang freely. Do not hang where the driver's view will be obstructed
Avoid contact with any surfaces in order to avoid staining (oh sh!t.)
Replace with a fresh Sacred Scents(TM) air freshener when the scent can no longer be detected.
CAUTION: Keep out of reach of children and pets (also, humans in general) Keep away from fod and drink. Do not set on wood surfaces (oh, crap) Contact with the fragrance may cause eye or skin irritation. If this occurs, rinse thoroughly with water."

If I ever get around to having a readership where I can have contests, the prize will be this.

You'll be paying for their therapy

For the next thirty years.



Of all the things I would want my kids to be colouring in about Jesus...His gory death is probably at the bottom of the list.

"Mommy my red crayon is running out and I'm only on station 5!"
"Blood turns brown when it dries, sweety, mix it up a little"

What am I looking at?

Ok, so yesterday at the store that I love so much I saw...wait for it...an Ecce Homo music box.

So, I google image search for it, right? And SURPRISE it's a whole kitchy series that are in life size.
Let's take a look.



this is what was on the music box. Also a ring of baby heads around the bottom.

If anyone knows like...the story behind these (in my humble opinion) monsters lemmie know down in the comments.

And the Oscar Goes To...



For best original screen play, best original score, best actor, best supporting actor, best effects....lets just say this is all-around the greatest thing I have ever seen.

iPray the iStations of the iCross



Yes, now there is an App for that

Only Catholics

Can out-shine Lady Gaga

I am in love with pictures of Holy Week processions. The statues are usually actually beautiful but SURPRISE leave it to us to slap some weird costume on the people.

That's why I love us. Well, that and a couple other reasons (one of the rhymes with "he-jus")
