Shoes…

There are a lot of fads in womens shoes these days.  I mean Lady Gaga alone could inspire an entire blog post with her footwear.

But these are not Lady Gaga’s shoes.

At least I’m pretty sure they are not --- these are actual FOR SALE footwear…now who would buy them…

Giraffe lovers?

Outside of the Box thinkers?

Clementine?
(Herring boxes without topses…c’mon sing with me!)

Carmen Miranda?

 

Bindi the Jungle girl – all grown up of course…

Do you enjoy barefoot walks across the grass?

 

And finally, I know barefoot running (sort of…) is all the rage these days…so why not these shoes for a night out on the town?

 

Something about these shoes makes me very glad I wear sandals – normal five dollar sandals from Wal-Mart.  Very, very glad.

Name Your Own Adventure

I’m still sick.

And it sucks.

Since I haven’t posted for a very.long.time…I’m going to take the easy way out.

Ah whatever – so sue me…no wait, don’t do that…

Here is today’s product:

I leave the commentary up to you – best comment gets a prize.

I totally expect comments about Siamese Twins and stalkers…I’m sure I’m opening this up to something I really shouldn’t…but – well, that’s what happens when you are sick.  You tend to lose all sense of write and wrong…(yes I did that on purpose…don’t knock my grammar)

Just keep it family friendly.  I do have an image to protect here…

Why Just Nap When You Can “Snazzy Nap!”

A friend of my husband sent this to me the other day…

 

I could comment on the fashion statement this makes.

But I won’t.

I could comment on the designs – my favorite being the little lamb -

 

But I won’t do that either.

 

I could also comment on how when this is in use it looks eerily like a corpse draped with the Medical Examiner’s cloth and also discuss how that would totally creep me out if I saw it on an airplane or in a public place.

 

But I certainly wouldn’t do that.

 

What I will ask – since the whole purpose of this is privacy while sleeping in public places, does it come with Ear plugs???

 

Thanks Matt M…I too wonder why we didn’t think of that first – oh yea, because we are normal sane people – for the most part anyway.

found at http://www.snazzynapper.com yes – there’s a whole website.

Got Wi-Fi?

I know, I know – everyone can always use a good wi-fi signal.

I mean you know you’ve done it – sitting outside a Starbucks or a McDonalds with your laptop trying to send an email or check your favorite blog…some of you might be doing it right now…

Anyway – wouldn’t it be nice if someone came up with a way to detect wi-fi signals without having to drive down the street with your laptop open and waiting for a connection?  (of course not while STARING at your laptop.  You’d never want to drive and use your computer at the same time…at least not without one of these: http://www.someonewillbuythis.com/2009/12/travel-lap-top-desk.html – safety first people!!!)  Wouldn’t it be great if you could simply look down at your chest and determine if you had wi-fi access?

Ah, much better.

Of course the guys at www.Thinkgeek.com have saved the day once again.  Now you can announce to the world that you are a signal surfer.  I suggest you wear it and walk up and down your street – who knows what neighbor you can mooch of of next…

Not that I condone the use of your neighbor’s wireless connection.

Unless it’s an emergency

Like you need to read my blog.

Then it’s okay.

Drinks

Today I’m not feeling well.  Honestly – not sure why.  My husband will tell you it is because I do too much and don’t rest enough.  I will tell you it’s because I have five children and three of them recently started school – along with a whole bunch of other children…a friend of mine will tell you that schools are just germ factories, which is why so many of them produce doctors.

Anyway.  Because my throat hurts I was looking for something to soothe it.

There are a lot of beverages out there to cure your medical conditions such as:

I’m pretty sure that one is for urinary tract infections.

And this one:

For those inflicted with hypohidrosis (people that can’t sweat on their own, or don’t produce enough of it…)

I’ve also located this seemingly helpful beverage…I think it is a substitute for Bean-o.

The following I’m a little confused on…not sure if it gives you SARS or is supposed to be an antidote for it:

The next one is genius.  I mean pure genius.  Whoever thought of selling water to those with aquaphobia (fear of water…not to be confused with hydrophobia which is an aversion to swallowing liquids and is commonly associated with rabies in humans) …well they were just pure – genius.

Waterproof water…amazing.

Sadly I never did find anything to cure my sore throat.  I guess I just stick to the old standby of hot water with honey and lemon.  However, I do feel comforted to know that beverage makers of the world are out to cure common ills, don’t you?

I feel I have to add a disclaimer, because you know there are one or two folks out there that will read this and then make a run to their nearest grocer or druggist to buy a case of fart juice for their loving spouse.  Of course none of these beverages do the things I say they do, they are just very oddly named…I think.  I’ve never purchased one so I guess I could be wrong…maybe they are amazing cures for whatever ails you…maybe not.

Duct Tape – bandaids

Okay, for a minute here we just have to acknowledge just how very cool duct tape really is.

Let us bask in it’s awesomeness. 

Every single repair known to man can be achieved with a little bit of duct tape.

So, why not fix manly boo-boos with it too?  (yes I realize using the words “manly” and “boo boos” in the same sentence is a bit oxy-moron-ish…but that all depends on the man.)

Introducing Nexcare Duct Tape Bandaids – for all your manly boo boo needs.



Just don’t try to repair your car fender with them.  I’m pretty sure they won’t hold.  Just guessin’

(sadly – these are not available anymore…but I couldn’t resist including them anyway.  As a consolation prize please enjoy this picture of some duct tape roses we made for a friend of ours who is a definite mans man…he decided to jump off (and by jump off I mean he was working on the roof on a ladder which wasn't rated for a man of his stature and fell) off of a roof and broke his leg.)



Again I repeat – let us all bask in the awesomeness that is duct tape…

Bacon Baby

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.

Everybody. Loves. Bacon.

or at least everyone should.

I’m not entirely certain (however) that this is entirely an appropriate way to introduce small children to the salty and meaty treat.

Then again, who am I to deny my children the bacon-y goodness?

(my kids are all so lucky they are off the bottle – or I would totally buy this just to see how they’d like it…I do have a great-nephew due in December though…I wonder if my niece will let me baby sit…)

(found at J&D’s – the home for all your bacon needs.)
