Happy Mother's Day!It's that time of year! Yes, the boy child came through. He make me a lovely "bouquet" of paper flowers at daycare. Really sweet! I just wish I could figure out how to preserve them...press them in a Bible? He also got me some really nice earrings. Oh, and he chose to wake up at 5am. Yes, that kid really knows what I wanted for Mother's day! Cause We Need a Little ChristmasJust wanted to send a hearty thank you to the person who stopped by the Big DumpTruck last week and decided to load up on Holiday Music. I know how hard it can be to limit your purchases when it comes to Christmas tunes, but this person (I actually think it's a guy who sent me fan mail recently) went hog wild. And it's nowhere NEAR Christmas. Let me tell you, my jaw hit the floor when I saw my Amazon Associates report. Basically it tells me what items were clicked on, and what was purchased. It never says who, so feel free to buy yourself a copy of something racy. But this person bought 19 Christmas CDs/tapes. 19!!! I thought it was a typo in the report (normally there is one item ordered every 2 days or so) when it jumped up so high from the day before! So thank you, Christmas Guy. Any time you need to order a book, movie, CD, or whathaveyou, if you pop over here first and use my search form, I'll get credit. I mean, if you were going to buy something anyway. Celeb Who Wants to Be a MillionaireI was called on the carpet for not talking about the celeb version of WWTBAM last week. I do apologize. Like a hamster in a one of those clear balls that lets them run around the house, potentially getting stuck without the ability to call for help, I was trapped right there on the couch watching it. Primarily I was trapped because as a fan of Emeril, it was important to see him in a non-Food Network show. On the other hand, I just enjoy watching celebs out of their element. You get to see which ones eat it up and which ones really need to have a script and a director. What happened, though, is that by the time I realized were were going to get suckered into a fourth night so that Ray Romano could make up for having the slowest "fast fingers" I just couldn't take it any more. No more Dana Carvey impersonating Reege. For goodness sake, isn't one of them at a time enough? Now we have to watch two at a time? Why I Need to Clean My CarA copy of the book The Carbohydrate Addict's Diet was on the seat next to a Dunkin Donuts bag. Oh, I'll bet the person parked next to me went home to write about it on his/her own web site. Well I beat you to it! So there! And besides, I didn't eat anything out of that bag! So there again! Vanilla Coolatta ReviewCouldn't taste worse if you put a cigarette out in it. What IS it, anyway? You kind of suspect it would be milk with vanilla syrup and that icy stuff they put in all the coolattas but it tastes more like water + vanilla stuff. It's just awful. We want our money back. According to their web site, these are the ingredients. Ingredients: water, sugar, skim milk, invert sugar, partially hydrogenated palm kernel oil, corn syrup, propylene glycol, dipotassium phosphate, mono- & diglycerides, sodium benzoate (preservative), guar gum, malic acid, artificial flavor, polysorbate 60, salt, carrageenan, sodium acid pyrophosphate, artificial color (includes yellow 5, yellow 6, red 40). Mmmmmm. (And there is nothing red or yellow about this so the last one goes over my head.) God Loves Me AND My Car!According the the "happenings" listed in the Worcester Telegram and Gazette online, " next Sunday there is a BLESSING OF THE VEHICLES. Blessing by Catholic and Protestant clergy. 9 a.m., Sturbridge Isle Restaurant and Truck Stop, 400 Route 15, Sturbridge." I have never heard of such a thing. But I'm thinking it would be interesting to see who shows up. The ListThings I would Take on a "Three Hour Tour"
