Ahhh...the makers of ShamWow! are at it again. This time with a "revolutionary" "new" product idea called the Slap Chop. Below you will find the 3min infomercial for your viewing pleasure.




We're gonna make America skinny again...one slap at a time!

I Was Tagged and I Failed...B-A-N-D BANNED!

Wow, I totally suck! I got "tagged" by my girl Gretchen a looooong time ago and just now realized it. Though this is completely Christmas related, I am going to complete it in hopes that it will redeem me in the eyes of Gretchen's gypsy heart.

Hello all! With the holidays fast approaching, I thought it would be fun to share with you my favorite Thanksgiving commercial. I hope you find it as funny as I do!

What A Cheeky Bugger

Yeah...so, ok...I was on the phone yesterday, chatting up my BFF about her super cool new car. Being the busy-body that I am, I was pacing around my dining room...back and forth...back and forth. During one of my trips toward the front door, I glanced out the front window. Since my neighborhood is still sparsely populated, I take notice when someone walks down the street. So there I am, gazing haphazardly out the window while listening to the details of BFF's most recent purchase and there he was...strolling by in all his biblical glory. No, Jesus did not pass by my front window. It was what I can only assume was my neighbor...STARK FREAKING NAKED!!! When I first noticed him I thought to myself "Ha! That's funny. That guy's shorts are totally the same color as his skin and he totally looks naked!!" Theeeeeen, as he continued his glorious stroll up the street I was able to catch a glimpse of the rear view, the full moon. I nearly dropped the phone I was laughing so hard! I mean, WHO DOES THAT?! Who walks down a neighborhood street, well ANY street for that matter, NAKED?? Now mind you, it wasn't like he was covering himself and scurrying around like he locked himself out of the house. Nope! It looked like he was headed down to check the mail or something (no pun intended). I was seriously the strangest, funniest thing that has happened to me in a while.




Only in Laveen...

One Night In Paris...France, that is

Sometimes I think of how lucky I am to work for the airlines. Well, maybe not lucky but whatever you want to call it. Tomorrow I'll no doubt be singing a new tune, but for now I'll just go with this. My "luck" as we'll now call, has taken me all over the world and most recently it resulted in an amazing one day trip to Paris. What started as a "what if" conversation one slow Saturday morning at work turned into a whirl wind trip across the country and the Atlantic Ocean with 5 friends.


Since my super-fantastic airline does not yet fly directly to Europe from Phoenix, we were forced to trek to Philadelphia, PA to catch our connection to Paris...except the all non-stop flights from Phoenix to Philly (that would get us there in time to fly to Paris) were full so a connection in Boston was in our future. Overnight flight Phoenix to Boston, then an early morning shuttle flight from Boston to Philadelphia.


Once in Philly, we had just enough time (10 hrs total) to head downtown for sightseeing and cheesesteaks then right back to the airport for the flight to Paris. We arrived into Paris early the next day and hit the pavement hard. In our 30 hours on the ground, we visited the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Avenue des Champs-Elysees, the Louvre (ok...so just the outside cuz it was CLOSED), and Notre Dame...then back to the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe to check 'em out at night.


We made it back to the hotel just after midnight and stayed up until after 2am recapping our amazing travels. After a long "nap", we were back to Charles de Gaulle airport and eventually Phoenix. Our short few days were packed with story after story...far too many to tell here. Pictures were plentiful and you may check them out here, and here, and here, and here.

Oh, and for those of you who are wondering if I sauntered around Paris in my high heels du jour, the answer is no. I opted for the more sensible yet still fashionable SKECHERS Bikers-Straightaway.
