Christmas Shopping

Posted on December 6th, 2008 by Jean

Good morning! Yesterday I drove to Vegas to get my hair done and to Christmas shop.
New doo. Sorry for the serious bed-head.

At the House of Blues, I found the coolest gifts for my best friend, Joy, and her husband Cimber. They don’t read my blog, so it’s safe to post a couple pics here without ruining the surprise.

Blues Brothers bowling shirt and Day of the Dead cross.

I think Cimber wears bowling shirts 24/7, and Joy is really into skulls and crosses.
At Nordstrom, I stopped by the Lancome counter to pick up some makeup remover. While there, I asked if they had any rollerball lipgloss. Reminds me of my youth. Do you remember those flavored rollerball lipglosses? Well, they’re back… but all sold out. They did have the regular old wand lipgloss, and the colors are fantastic, so I bought one.

I was also low on mascara, so I asked about that. The lady said, Sit down. I want to put some on you. So I sat down. Do you know what she produced? The vibrating mascara! She pushed the button, and began massaging my lashes. It felt oddly good, until she poked me in the eye! I kid you not! You all warned me it was an accident waiting to happen, and it sure as hell was! Ok, so after cleaning up the tears and smudges, I had to admit, my lashes looked MUCH longer! So, I actually bought the mascara. It does have a dual purpose. It’s a mascara, and a vibrator that leaves your pubes looking luxurious. Har har har!

When the lady poked me in the eye and apologized, I said, It’s ok. Why do we say it’s ok when it really isn’t? If she had warned me beforehand, I’m going to gouge your eye out with this vibrating applicator. Are you alright with that? I’d certainly have said, No. Are you out of your mind?

Let me get some more coffee in me. Have an awesome Saturday!

 

Off On A Dum Dum Tangent

Posted on October 29th, 2008 by Jean

It’s the simple things that bring joy to my children. Simple as in dum dum lollipops.


 
Natalie pulled a dum dum from our candy bowl the other day, and said, Mom, this one is pepper flavored. She mistook the sour apple for a green pepper.
 

Ewwww!
 
The idea of a pepper flavored sucker sent me off in two directions. The first direction was to find odd-flavored lollis.
 
Margarita Lollipop


Complete with salty exterior. Available at Firegirl.com.
 
Absinthe Lollipop


Available at Kegworks.com.
 
Javapops


60mg of caffeine per lolli. Available at ThinkGeek.com.
 
And the obligatory Insect Pops.


No thanks. Available at Hotlix.com.
 
The second direction was to check out dum dums. If you’d like to elect two dum dums (no comment), head over to DumDumPops.com
 


Go, Cool Lime!
 
I was surprised to learn that you can send in 20 wrappers plus $1.00 to receive a toy prize.
 


 
Really? What can you get for a dollar anymore?
 
• Have you tried an unusual lollipop?
• Would you try an unusual lollipop?
• Who are you voting for in the dum dum flavor election?

Gummy Bear Chandelier

Strange Things
 
While searching for accessories for my bedroom, I’ve come across some of the strangest items. I just have to share these with you!
 
Gummy Bear Chandelier
 

 
If this was in my house, I’d constantly be trying to eat it!
 

 
The gummy bear series (and more) can be viewed at YaYaChou.com.
 
Spa Planetarium
 

 
Homestar Spa Planetarium by Sega Toys has 3 modes: stars, rose petals, and deep sea.
 

 
Those don’t look like rose petals to me.
 
Champagne Cork Stool
 

 
NapaStyle sells these bright orange champagne corks and wire cages. I actually ended up buying a set for our bar. The kids fight over who’s going to use it.
 

 
DILEMMA
 
I have a dilemma. It never reached 120 degrees here! I know. That stuns me too! So, please take the time to answer the survey below so I can figure out what to do with the 120 Degree Game. Thanks in advance!
 
INPUT NEEDED: What Should I Do With The Prize From The 120 Degree Game?
• Hold our answers over to 2009.
• Give the prize to the person who chose the hottest day (118).
• Put our names in a hat and draw a winner!
• Make up a new game!
• None of the above.
