Getting Rid of Turkey Necks

Today I managed to throw my back out - by removing a dish from the dish washer, pathetic right? This particularly sucks given that I am supposed to move tomorrow and I still have some packing to do. I am trying to stay positive by considering the fact that at least I am not required to leave my current place tomorrow and still have my lease until the end of August. If everything doesn't get moved tomorrow it won't be the worst thing in the world, you know?

To help ease my pain I am laying on a heat pad, downing ibuprofen like its my job and watching day time television. Before I coveted the Bump-It. Now I have found a new made for tv product that has taken my heart.

That would be, the Neckline Slimmer.

The name couldn't be more descriptive of it's purpose if it tried. The product appears to be a pogo stick for your neck. Somehow nodding against the resistance will help get rid of turkey neck. I feel if anything this product is going to cause neck injuries. But it isn't my ass on the line.

If anyone knows anyone with this product, PLEASE let me know what it is like!

Wow, the Sham WOW was named correctly

My friend is getting married this June. Thursday was her bridal shower. It was a really cute event hosted at a bridesmaid's house. Per proper protocol each of us went ahead and brought along a gift for the bride-to-be (or the BTB for short) to open up. After some mass emailing, we all decided to stick with getting something from one of her registries rather than deviating from her selections. As each gift was opened the BTB squealed with delight.

"SPOONS!"

"SALAD-SPINNER!"

"VASE!"

"TURKEY BASTER!"

"SHAM WOW!!!!"

Yes, she registered for a set of Sham Wows. We were all a bit jealous when we saw it come out of one of the packages, I experienced the same feeling when I learned a friend of mine had gotten a Snuggie...

Once my jealousy subsided -- don't worry it was a whole 2 seconds of my life -- I had a quick reflection which revolved around the question: "do you think those things actually work?" I figured I would just have to follow up with her in a few weeks to see if she had to use one.

Later on in the evening, our hostess went to go grab her cell phone that began ringing randomly and in doing so accidently knocked over a glass that had just a teeny bit of red wine left in it. The wine spilled on the off-white carpet!! Everyone went quiet for a moment and then BTB let out a "Sham wow!!". The box was grabbed, opened and an individual sham wow was passed to me, as I had gotten into position to help clean up the stain.

Now, I can personally attest to the fact that those suckers can absorb up the red wine like noone's business. We added in a little seltzer as well just to be sure that everything that could be done was done. After my blotting was completed, it was determined that you would never have guessed RED WINE had been spilt in the first place.

It really is a mircle maker.

I hope to someday own a set myself. Untill then, I will just wish longingly...
