GENIUS!


A peel-and-stick chalkboard from Wallies.

Via Apartment Therapy: The Nursery and Bohemian Funk

From the minds behind Flav-Or-Ice: Sipahh Straws, which contain gel capsules of flavor (chocolate, strawberry, banana or cookies-and-cream). The straws flavor milk but use less product, and thus less sugar, than traditional flavoring methods. Available at Walgreens. I hope Clark Griswold got a raise for this one.

Blister cushions stay on better than Band-Aids, are way more comfortable and make your blister heal faster. But you know what's totally wack? New-Skin Antiseptic Liquid Bandage. Cut your foot off at the ankle with a chainsaw and it would be less painful.

    Wonder if the wallies blackboard will look as bad/messy after you erase it the first time as the blackboard paint does?

    And those sipah straws are a bit wierd...

    I am impressed by the blister skin product, it worked really well.

    There are two camps on the sipah straws in the house. Emmet is on the fence, but Becca tries to use them to choco-pimp whatever she is drinking (water, juice, you name it.) The good news is that they can't be spilled when she decides to make her own 'snack' - which is anytime you don't have both eyes on her. Now if they could only encapsulate peanutbutter somehow.

    What about those pretzel sticks stuffed with peanut butter?

    Haven't bought the pretzel sticks with peanut butter. Sounds like they would save some mess. However, I don't think my kids could leave it at that -- they would demand MORE p.b.

    Will my wallies come complete with a house in the Hamptons to go to? Sign me up.

    No, you just get the visit the Hamptons. You do get a free dental appointment though.

Reading/ Watching/ Listening

 Reading: The Rules of Civility by Amor Towles. I didn't like it nearly as much as A Gentleman in Moscow . In fact, I liked it only barely enough to keep reading. Watching: Poker Face , on Peacock. Papi and I have enjoyed watching this, one episode at a time, and not every day. It's a little formulaic, but the sets and the guest stars are fun. I like that it changes scenery every episode. Listening to: The Beatles Channel, Sirius XM. Ever since watching Get Back , the Beatles documentary, I've enjoyed listening to them with new ears.

Be Awesome for Halloween

You are a total hoser if you don’t dress up for Halloween. Granted, I haven’t dressed up in a few years, but I am about to change that this year. I have an idea … but it’s a surprise! Actually, I have lots of Halloween ideas. I’ve put together a few sample ideas for some of my favorite bloggers. If you find yourself in need of inspiration, send me a link to your blog, or just describe what you’re doing on Halloween night, and I’ll give you a hand. Emily and Rob : Alice and Ralph Kramden ! Soletrain : ODB . Wouldn’t you pay money to see Uncle John wearing a grill? Anyway, I’m sure he already has the outfit. He just needs to accessorize with a 40. Bunny Tomerlin : Goth princess . Because I bet she’s never even worn PVC.

The Bikini Wax: An Internal Dialogue

God, this is horrifying. I wonder if she's as embarrassed as I am. OW! Ow MOTHERFUCKER! Okay, this hurts less than childbirth, but only because it doesn't last as long. What is she saying? I wish I spoke Vietnamese. I think I outweigh the entire staff combined. Dude, where is she going? They need a picture on this ceiling. They would probably put up a picture of Hannah Montana. I will not think about Miley Cyrus. I will not think about Miley Cyrus. Hey, I bet my nails are dry. I wonder if the liquor store next door sells ice. Next time I'm paying more for a place with numbing cream. Which is worse -- being her or being me? OW. Me. At times like this it's good to have some poetry memorized. 'Twas brillig and the ... the ... Dammit. HOW BIG IS MY VAGINA? She could have mowed the back 40 by now. God, how come nobody told me this shit was growing halfway down my leg? Did I water the clematis last night? Next time: vodka first. Next time: Vicodin first.
