Why Is It Raining in the House? Weekend Recap
Guten Morgan this fine Monday. I hope your weekend was a bitchin one and you're ready for a short week. (Or maybe you pup owners are breaking out the Thunder shirts in anticipation of the people who are going to be setting off fireworks for the next seven days. I know we always have people setting them off at random usually starting tonight. I do actually miss sparklers from when I was a kid and conducting a symphony to make shapes in the air burned into your vision.) Friday was exhausting y'all. I had to get some worm spray for a looper worm infestation on my brassicas (who the hell am I??) and whilst poking around the nursery with lightning and looming thunder Thursday night, I spotted a flat of begonias marked down to $10. Given my zinnias couldn't stay in the long planters because they need sun, I had to relent and buy the begonias. Anything to block the sea hag from peeking over. So Friday morning I got to work picking of...
I can't say that I haven't been tempted. A lot. Like by every single commercial out there. I don't have a lot of disposable income though so I've never followed through on any of those wants. I have been doubly tempted when I've seen some of these items (like your Millennium Falcon toy) at garage sales but then I take a minute and realize that if the darn thing worked they wouldn't be selling it.
ReplyDeleteThe Silly twister for abs where u stand on it and keep twisting..arghh
ReplyDeleteJavita...a coffee that is supposed to help you quickly lose weight. Basically you are in the bathroom all day. I was (clearly) desperate to lose that last 5 pounds before vacation...yeah, well it didn't happen and I even gained a pound while drinking it!
ReplyDeleteI've never been much into diet tricks. I remember my MIL asking me a lot of questions about Alli, I don't know if she ever took the plunge. I wouldn't risk it with those side affects. yikes!
ReplyDeleteI'd have bought that ab flex thing, if that hunk came with it!
ReplyDeleteWow...I can't even say anything here! lol. Been there...done that...my doctor says ignorant things like "oh..I have a wonderful product..." It irritates the snot out of me. I used to want that wheel thing and the thing called "perfect push ups"...ugh...they always get us!
ReplyDeleteMy mom had me do the Metabolife pill thing, which then got taken off the market for not being safe. The piece of equipment I bought was a "ski" machine as well as the one where it's a mat that you put booties on and slide back and forth like you're skiing. Shame, shame, shame..... =o)
ReplyDeleteShake weight.
ReplyDeleteI guess it is kinda legit, I mean, you definitely feel it, trying to shake a heavy thing up and down. But you can feel it if you pick up a giant can of grapefruit juice and shake that up and down too. Then there comes all the jokes from family and whatever friends you were silly enough to tell.. and goodbye shake weight. It was definitely a fad. :)
