Scene: I am working on the computer. Grant is in the next room watching TV. I cannot see him or the TV, but I can hear everything. I hear the word Shoedazzle, whatever that is. I assume that it’s like the Bedazzler, but specifically for shoes. (You remember the Bedazzler, right? It was all the […]
Necessity is the mother of invention. (Or… applying the Cootie-Principle to marketing techniques.)
Is there a critical 8 year old boy demographic…? Because I’m pretty sure Grant would fall into that category when it comes to commercials. He was watching Saturday morning cartoons and a commercial for some really obnoxious fairy-type dolls came on the TV. They’re called Winx Dolls and apparently they go out clubbing in fairy […]
Charmin? You should fire your whole marketing team.
Scene: Handsome Hubby and I are watching TV. An incredibly lame commercial for Charmin toilet paper comes on. (Whoever came up with their latest campaign should be fired. Enjoy the Go? Seriously?) source The commercial spot features a lot of women, hands on hips, saying things like we need to come clean… no one mentions […]
Dear Totino’s…. do you think we’re idiots?
Dear Totino’s,If these are the Kids In America, then the kids in America (and their parents) need a major ass-kicking. I hate this commercial. HATE! Click here to see it.(I can’t embed it… sorry.) If anything? This commercial serves as a marketing deterrent. signed,A parent in America
Legos have a soundtrack.
Yesterday, Grant was playing with his Legos in his room. He was making the typical little boys noises: vroom, pow, crash, etc. Then those noises gave way to singing. Not just any singing. Singing that lets momma know that big brothers have been playing SNL episodes on the DVR when Grant is around. Singing of […]
IT’S A WONDERFUL (time to expose your little kid to Saturday Night Live at this time in his) LIFE.
Last night I was watching It’s A Wonderful Life. Such a fabulous movie! A Christmas tradition for many, many people. We also have a Christmas tradition in that we bust out the Saturday Night Live Christmas DVD along with other holiday favorites. Grant loves this SNL DVD. So last night, as I’m watching the end […]
Weddings, Tequila and Mayhem. (happy sigh)
I’m back from Mexico! I had a phenomenal time! My best friend got married, and I couldn’t be happier… (especially since I introduced the happy couple!) We stayed at The Tides in Zihuatanejo. Gorgeous! I got to play stowaway and fly down with friends who went on a private plane. (Thank you, thank you, thank […]
Can you play?
Blog-Land is a fun place to play. It’s a community, a little neighborhood. People become great friends, even if they never actually meet. In the real world, if someone new moves into a neighborhood, the neighbors are all keenly aware of it. The house had a For Sale sign in front of it, then a […]
Before theatrical, effeminate Adam Lambert…. there was this guy.
Seen it. (yawn.) And yes, there was a time when I did have the t-shirt.
I’ll admit: My TV and reading choices? Not so hip. But I’m OK with that.
I am not Catholic. I don’t go to confession. I try my very best to never lie to others but I lie to myself all the time. God help you if I catch you lying to me. (Ask my kids. ugh.) JennyKate‘s Spot has a Friday Confessional. I couldn’t post a deep secret of mine […]
