Creepy Baby.

You can't tell me this doesn't bother you when you are on Facebook and you look over and the creepy baby is staring at you. With all the eyes. And can we talk about the chins?

I see 6 eyes and 3 chins. How many do you see?

This is why I quit drinking - because YOU started to look like this.

As Seen On TV...

What image does this conjure up for you? 

Yep, me too.

"BILLY MAYS HERE..."

I'm always fascinated by the stuff they sell on TV, and it's a good thing my attention span isn't long enough to sit and watch QVC. But those commercials come on, and I am reaching for the phone. My husband hides it from me.

Then I discovered that BB&B (no, not the Better Business Bureau, but Bed, Bath & Beyond) has an entire wall full of "As Seen On TV." How exciting!

I got suckered into the PedEgg the other day. Have you seen this thing? It's like a cheese grater for the bottom of your feet. But yet, it's gentle enough to use on a balloon. The "shavings" are collected in the bottom so they don't fly everywhere. This is a good thing, because the amount of crap it took off the bottom of my feet, well, let's just say that I almost threw up a little bit in my mouth as I was emptying it over the trash can. And now you want to know if it works, right? Oddly enough, it did. I'm sorta amazed. Of course, you have to use it to get it to work, but my $9.99 (less my 20% off coupon) was well spent, in my opinion.
This is a much better deal than that mini-sewing machine that I ended up with that I simply had to have. You know the one where you can sew curtains while they are hanging up, or you can hem a skirt while sitting at your desk. Let me tell you, that is some good marketing. Not only do I not sew, but I don't even like curtains. And I don't hem anything, nor do I wear skirts that often. It's still in the box. Under the bed. Of course, I tell my husband I use it all the time. He's not amused.
Anyway, don't be surprised if you get a Snuggie from me for Xmas this year. I mean, how many times have you been wrapped up in a blanket, and you can't get your arms out? I hate it when that happens. Anyway, they come with a free booklight. Now THAT's marketing.
I hear that mendy glue is pretty cool too. And it comes with glue you can sew rhinestones on your clothes with. It could take the place of my Bedazzler, and/or my mini sewing machine. Besides, I have a parachute I need to mend.
I'm turning on the TV. Gotta see what new marketing invention is all the rage.

RIP, My Little Mouse

Poor little mouse***. He was so good to me for 14 months. When I took him into my Apple store, they asked me if I got the Apple Care Plan. They said that if I had purchased it 24 months ago (for $100), I could get a new replacement mouse for free. Instead, today, I bought a new one for $50. 

You know I am no good with math, but even I know I came out ahead on this deal. 

RIP, my little friend. You will be missed. 

And I still have the satisfaction of having a computer that gives me no sass and no problems, while my poor hubby cusses at his PC regularly. 

***Just for the record...this is way better than the A Wocket In My Pocket Is Better Than A Mouse In My House!  Wow, did I really write that in December of 2007. Can you believe I've been blogging this long? And can you believe you have been reading my blog that long? This is my 163rd post (not counting guest blogs or other blogs I have or contribute to). We will have to do something fantastical for 200. 

Always keep your camera with you!

You should always keep your camera with you, because you never know when you will come across a Kodak moment. 

For example: I was going to the grocery store the other day, and pulled in next to this car: 

And just in case you can't see it so well, here is another angle.

It was a bit unnerving, as I couldn't tell if he was staring back at me. But I laughed all the way into the store. This blog wouldn't have been nearly as funny without the photos.

Before you leave your house again, make sure you have your camera! And for crying out loud, don't forget your dog's sunglasses.
