"YOU'RE GONNA LOVE MY NUTS..." AND OTHER LATE-NIGHT HILARITY...

I was lying in bed the other night, having trouble falling asleep after getting up for the 23rd potty break of the evening, and this commercial came on:

**BE SURE TO DISABLE THE MUSIC PLAYER TO THE LEFT OF THE SCREEN BEFORE VIEWING!!!**

Who knew that one little kitchen gadget can "make America skinny again, one slap at a time"?! BTW, this is the same guy of "Sham-WOW!" fame (which I have told Steve I wanted, like, 47 times and yet I did not find it in my stocking this Christmas... sigh). Feel free to post your favorite quotes from the commercial in the comment section!

FUN CRAFTS FOR THE KIDDIES!

My very good friend Megan is always looking out for me. She knew that today, since we had to cancel our play date because Caroline's sick, I might be looking for something to fill our time. She sent me a link to this craft site where you can use, um, let's just call them "familiar household items" to get some decorating done for Thanksgiving. Pottery Barn and William Sonoma it is not, to say the least. The site's creators are either a) really resourceful and creative, b) really twisted and a bit disturbed, or c) a bit of both. You be the judge... :)

TEN-SECOND TOM...

So I was listening to a conversation that Caroline was having on the phone with my sister Suzy this weekend. It went basically like this (as they always do...):

C: "Hi Suzy! How you?"
S: "Hi Caroline! I'm fine. How are you?"
C: "I fine Suzy! What doing, Suzy?"
S: "I'm studying for my CPA exam. What are you doing?"
C: "You drive Suzy car?"
S: "No, I'm at my house right now."
C: "Where Suzy car go?"
S: "It's parked in front of my house."
C: "Um, hi Suzy! How you?"

...and so on and so forth. A good deal of the time, conversations with Caroline go like that (like the time we spent the 15-minute ride to school running through the list of people in our family who wear their seatbelts in the car... again and again and again). It occurred to me that she, like most toddlers, is totally Ten-Second Tom from one of my favorite movies, "50 First Dates" :

PINK PLAYS: "In the Mother 'Hood" Season One: Episode 3

Not much going on around here this week - promise to put something fun up soon (maybe some pics???). In the meantime, here's another episode of "In the Mother 'Hood" for your viewing pleasure - it's a good one, I promise.

**REMEMBER TO SCROLL DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN TO DISABLE THE MUSIC PLAYER PRIOR TO VIEWING!***

UM, WHAT?!

Read what presidential candidate John McCain said in response to "The Hills" personality Heidi Montag's endorsement...

It's good to know that even the presidential candidates are carving out time from their busy schedules to indulge their own guilty pleasures every Monday night at 10 pm...

PINK PLAYS: "IN THE MOTHER 'HOOD - SEASON ONE: EPISODE ONE"

Alright, TPT readers, it's time for me to pass along another one of my guilty pleasures for your viewing! "In The Mother 'Hood" is a web-based sitcom that stars Leah Remini; Chelsea Handler (my personal favorite); and in the second season, Jenny McCarthy - three of the funniest women alive (excluding my sisters Suzy and Lulu). The show is based on stories submitted to the website by real mothers, so if you're a parent and have a funny story to share, head to the site and enter it - it may end up as an episode of the show! They've currently stopped accepting submissions for this season, but check back soon for Season Three's deadlines. I'm going to post the past several episodes over the next little bit so that you can get caught up - trust me, even if you aren't a parent, it's worth the roughly 6 minutes per episode!

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE? OH, WHERE DO I BEGIN?

Okay, so I don't often post about celebrity stuff, but if you've read my blog, you know that I have this penchant for "The Hills", with all its smarmy catfighting and propensity to provide me with mindless viewing pleasure. I even have gotten Steve to watch it with me on occasion, and though he won't admit it, I think he's hooked too. In fact, the new season begins tonight, and one of the main reasons I am going to tune is because of the two crazy kids pictured above.

Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag are a completely dysfunctional couple with a maturity level not unlike the 16-year-olds who Dr. Phil was trying to talk into getting an annulment for their marriage last week on one of his episodes (just for the record, I don't often have time to watch Dr. Phil during the day - it was on in the background, I promise...). They provide so much fodder for Us Weekly on a, well, weekly basis that I would think the magazine must owe them some sort of royalties at this point. When I saw this picture today, I laughed out loud - I mean, dressing up like bunnies to go to a daytime Easter egg hunt that was most likely meant for children? Although with these two, I wouldn't put anything past them. In previous photos, we've seen Heidi sitting on Spencer in a bikini while he does push-ups, riding in a wheelbarrow while picking pumpkins for Halloween, and eating tacos to promote a world hunger relief organization, among others. They love them some good papparazzi! If you haven't seen "The Hills" yet, catch it tonight at 10 - I promise it will become a show that you love to hate (and yet can't stop watching, kind of like a car accident).

THE ULTIMATE PEEP SHOW...

This had me laughing for a good 5 minutes this afternoon. A big thank you to my good friend Tina for passing it along! Happy Almost-Spring (and Easter), everyone!
