    One gloriously monsterous affair.

    Once upon a time an artistically challenged blogger thought up a loveable creature to represent the not-so-monstrous, but every bit as goofy and unexpected, woman behind her blog. Deficient at the drawing board, she quickly drew up a mock-up pattern to sew together what rested in her mind’s eye. But something was missing, beyond color of course, something she couldn’t quite put her finger on. Oh yes, her creature, OMSH, was flat.

    OMSH needed life, but not in a “Franken-OMSH” kind of way. Rather, OMSH needed texture, personality, and let’s not forget … color.

    Along came a creative illustrator, known by her stalkers followers as Secret Agent Josephine (SAJ). She took one look at the bland OMSH and said, “Yes, I can do this … go away and let me create! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!”

    The artistically challenged blogger set her free.

    In less than 24 hours the creative illustrator, SAJ, emerged hand in hand with a most inspired digital creation; OMSH had been reborn!

    Secret Agent Josephine and OMSH

    The artistically challenged blogger (hereby called ACB, because this is getting old) was overjoyed. She hooted, hollered, giggled and yes, even cackled while rattling off a million new ideas.

    And for a day, all was fine in the land of OMSH.

    Until, OMSH looked around and saw that everything was not good. Who would make her margaritas, go with her to SONIC, share great ideas and entertain her endlessly into the night while stealing away all her kisses?

    The ACB cried out to the creative illustrator with this newfound need. Understanding the dilemma, SAJ didn’t tarry.

    Introducing OMSH and Mr. OMSH. Two of the cutest monsters you ever did see.

    They aren’t always polite, can be belligerent, sometimes emit unrequested noises from their hind-ends, are extremely opinionated, love to eat Tex-Mex, will bare their souls, expect you to bare yours, one of them in particular thinks girls in sandals are sexy (stop that Mr. OMSH), but most of all … they love each other - oh how they love each other.

    GOOSE!

    This blog is OMSH’s naked ramblings, but Mr. OMSH pops in from time to time to get’im some contribute. Get used to them - they ain’t going nowhere.

    And SAJ - endless thanks and praise.
    You got it righter than rain.

      aw shucks. thanks everybody. maybe I should offset some of this praise by letting you know that I can’t add double digits in my head or that my bathroom is dirty…

      So cute! I was going to mention yesterday how much I loved the little robots at the bottom of the page. Adorable.

    7. Loralee

      Ok, the butt-pat is freaking HILARIOUS.

      Adorable! SAJ is amazingly talented. This reminds me to enter her monthly contest again. I need something to liven up my hideously boring template.

    11. OMSH

      SAJ does rock. I was entirely too giddy for 48 hours. I’m still enjoying the heck out of this little guy AND you should see my biz/callling cards for Blogher!

      Loralee - Girl, he’s pinchin my hind-end … get it right will ya?!

      Friglet - I know, ain’t nothing like a little monster heat to light that fire!

      I want the goose one on a t-shirt. Where can I buy it?

    14. OMSH

      Paige Turner - Funny that you should ask b/c I’ve been thinking about that. Hmmm… give me a few days. :)
