Just when I got the hang of my Go-Girl (not really) there's another naughty and much more twisted infomercial in town. I can't lie to you, it's captivating and mezmerizing me. But since I'm a little off my game this morning (having hot tea instead of coffee...I love you coffee, come back!) I'm going to let Ellen and Queen Latifah show you what I mean....
THE SHAKE WEIGHT!
And there you have it.

Children of the 80's
:)
This is one of the best emails I have received in a long time....which is why I MUST share it with you guys. Plus it eases the fact that I don't have a heck of alot of time to post anything else today. I don't know who the author of this masterpiece is, otherwise I would certainly give them credit & major kudo's. :)
ENJOY!!
If you are 30 or older you will truly appreciate this....
When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears, what with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were. When they were growing up; what with walking Twenty-five miles to school every morning.
Uphill.
Barefoot.
BOTH ways. Yadda, yadda, yadda...
And I remember promising myself that when I grew up? There was no way in hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on kids about how hard I had it and how easy they've got it.
But now that... I'm over the ripe old age of thirty, I can't help but look around and notice the youth of today.
You've got it so easy! I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a damn Utopia!
I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have The Internet. If we wanted to know something, we had to go to the dang library and look it up ourselves, in the card catalogue.
There was no email. We had to actually write somebody a letter.
With a pen.
Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in the mailbox and it would take like a week to get there. Stamps were 10 cents.
Child Protective Services didn't care if our parents beat us. As a matter of fact, the parents of all my friends also had permission to kick our butts! No where was safe.
There were no MP3' s or Napsters or Limewire. You wanted to steal music, you had to hitchhike to the damn record store and shoplift it yourself - or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ'd usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up!
There were no CD players. We had tape decks in our car. We'd play our favorite tape and "eject" it when finished and the tape would come undone. Cause that's how we rolled, dig?
We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting. If you were on the phone and somebody else called they got a busy signal, that's it.
And we didn't have fancy Caller ID either. When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your mom, your boss, your Bookie, your drug dealer, a collections agent, you just didn't know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances, mister.
We didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation video games with high-resolution 3-D graphics. We had the Atari 2600. With games like 'Space Invaders' and 'Asteroids'. Your guy was a little square. You actually had to use your imagination. And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen forever!
And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder and harder and faster and faster until you died. Just like LIFE!
You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on. You were screwed when it came to channel surfing. You had to get off the couch and walk over to the TV to change the channel. There was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday Morning. Do you hear what I'm saying? We had to wait ALL WEEK for cartoons, you spoiled little brats!
You kids today have got it too easy.
You're spoiled.
You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in the eighties. (OR before.)

Today is INTERNATIONAL CROCHET DAY
Most of us hookers know that March is National Crochet Month...but did you know that today is INTERnational Crochet Day? That means hookers all over the world are gonna be in action today! Er, maybe that doesn't sound so nice, huh? But y'all know what I really mean.
Last weekend I shared that I came across The Pink Slipper Project - a project in place to provide women & children in shelters with a pair of hand made slippers. If you really give it some thought, thats pretty awesome. When these women & kids find themselves having to live in a shelter, for whatever heartbreaking reason, it's nice to think they can slip a little something on their feet and know that out there in the world are people who do care - people who cared enough to make something for them by hand, love oozing all over it.
Sarahs Sweethearts has joined in...and you know that means something fabulous is about to happen! She'll work up something magical, I just know.
Even if you don't think making a pair of slippers is up your alley, do yourself a favor and at least go take a peek at their website. They've been posting lots of pics of the rag slippers coming in & its encouraging to see, it'll make you smile - and you know you want to smile!
CeLeBrAtE this CrAfTy holiday by:

Now listen to this (how warped am I??) After a week of dreadful blah rainy weather, today is absolutely beeeutiful. There is this event going on over at the waterfront called Bay Days and there will be booths set up for meandering thru, tall ships parked (parked?) at the docks for folks to climb aboard, carnival food (hello corndog, i love you!), music...all around stuff to do. We've also been invited to a beach house for a BBQ with friends. We live across the street from the beach...but these folks are in one of those delicious right on the beach beach houses. And you know what? I kinda want to stay home and clean and crochet. What brand of weird is that?? I totally won't. We are getting out of here in a little bit and enjoy what's out there to enjoy because if we don't, we will regret it when its over.
