The Cleavage Caddy: A Purse In Your Bra

The Cleavage Caddy: A Purse In Your Bra

Seriously, not a huge bad idea, lol! But coming next week, the Ass Crack Caddy for guys who don't want the wallet ass look, lol!

Thanks to Alanna, for sending me this, lol!

Pure Romance

So I finally pulled the trigger and decided now was the time to start my own business. I have contemplated doing the in-home demonstration business for years. I have been close but just couldn't get myself motivated to do it. I knew if it was a product I could stand behind, I could be successful.

I know I will only get out of it, what I put in. Over the last couple of years, I have proven to myself that I can literally do anything I set my mind to! That knowledge has given me confidence in myself.

I decided on Pure Romance because I know their products and believe in the goals set forth by the company. They have built the company on not only offering products that women will love, but also in the education and empowerment of women. I went to the Opportunity Rally in Atlanta, and left there with so much pride in being a woman! I knew this was the right one for me.

I have been approached by Tupperware in the past. My mom sold Tupperware as a way to get discounts. She never took it very seriously. I couldn't get excited about storage containers, and cookware, because frankly, I don't cook! I have also thought about Avon and Arbonne...but those of you that know me, I am not extremely girlie, lol! I do wear make up but it isn't a very important thing to me. So when I went to a party at my cousin's house in February, I thought to myself..."I could definitely do this!"

I am not shy about my sexuality! I am not all in your face either, but I believe that every woman, should harness their power! I also have a very easy demeanor that allows many people to talk to me about everything.

If only I wrote a book on the many conversations, strangers have told me, lol! The only part of Pure Romance that has me worried, is that I am not a pushy person! I hate when people get pushy with me and I don't like to beg. I am sure I will get over this, lol!

I am not doing this for fast money! I am doing this to supplement my income while I work full time and go to school at night. It seemed more logical than getting a second job. I can do a few parties on the weekend and make about as much.

Here's to my future...

Community Leads Growing Backlash Against Glee

Community Leads Growing Backlash Against Glee: "

Unfortunately for NBC, their corporate bungling over the course of the last three years and change — Ben Silverman, the Leno/Conan debaucle, the cancellation of Southland, etc. — has created a pervasive sense of anti-Peacock sentiment that hangs, cloudlike, over 30 Rockefeller Center in a manner reminiscent of the ball of dust that Pig-Pen never managed to shake. Sadly, this has prevented the network’s PR flacks from shouting from the rooftops that, each and every Thursday, they air the most magnificent hour of comedy going on television these days.

No, I’m not talking about the 9 p.m. tag team of The Office and 30 Rock, both of which still flash occasional moments of brilliance but are widely regarded as being on the downslope of their respective creative arcs. Rather, I’m talking about Community and Parks and Recreation, both of which have consistently outclassed their more established counterparts in both laughs and smarts this season.

In particular, VH1 alum Dan Harmon’s Community has proven to be a network sitcom almost without peer in its freshman season. After a somewhat bumpy start, the show’s eclectic cast has gelled together into a formidable and tight-knit comedic ensemble, and the writers and producers have displayed a willingness to take their show in the kinds of creative directions that most other sitcom showrunners would never dare to explore.

Take, for instance, last night’s epic (in every sense of the world) episode, “Modern Warfare” (written by Emily Cutler).

Not only did the show slyly work in meta references to classic films as varied as Battle Royale, Gotcha!, Roll Bounce, Hard-Boiled and Predator into its outlandish plot about a community campus wide game of paintball, but it also was bold enough to take a not-at-all veiled potshot at the current darling of TV critics everywhere, Glee.

Now, I recognize that a lot of you out there — including some of my esteemed BWE colleagues — are head over heels in luuurve with Glee. And while I understand the many reasons why it carries such great appeal to a country that’s unhealthily obsessed with Karaoke Culture, personally, I don’t get all the fuss. Don’t get it twisted, I’m a huge proponent of pastiche as a means of making an artistic and cultural statement, but to me, Glee seems little more than a boring string of flavorless interpretations of songs we’re all suckers for. But this isn’t about me, it’s about Community! Their critique of the show, as spoken by lead character Jeff Winger (Joel McHale), is brilliant in its brevity: “WRITE SOME ORIGINAL SONGS!” I couldn’t have said it better myself.

Thoughts?

This song makes me happy and feel all lovey...It's a shame the radio is wearing it out so quickly!

Car Accident

I had managed to avoid accidents for most of my adult life until April, 19, 2010. I had just left school and needed to stop by Wal-Mart for a few items. I was sitting in the turning lane at the stoplight, patiently waiting and....BLAM!!!!

I was hit from behind. I was rear-ended by a 1991 Suburban, you know when vehicles were still made out of steel. I sustained a whip-lash injury and damage to my vehicle. Meanwhile, he didn't have a scratch on him or his car (Note to self: Get a 1991 Suburban, lol!).

After spending 3 hours in the ER, I was released. It's always so much fun, sitting in the ER waiting room at 11:00 pm. You would be amazed the weirdo's it attracts. There was this lady hacking up a lung so much, I almost threw up. (Note to self: Congrats on quitting smoking and hopefully avoiding that in the future)

I am now fighting the good battle with the insurance companies. I don't understand why it is so difficult to even talk to an agent. It is like they lose all common sense and humanity when they sign up for the job.

The process is all new to me, but why must I be the one to have to call both insurance companies, come out of my own pocket, and not get a straight answer from either side, when I am the victim?

The other driver admitted fault, was cited on the accident and I am the one having to jump through hoops. Meanwhile, his insurance can't get in contact with him.

How is that my problem?

I just learned yesterday that I will need physical therapy and my medical insurance only covers 80% after I meet the deductible....OH GREAT more freaking money out of my pocket with hopes of recovery....

I was trying to avoid talking to all the lawyers, but now I know why victims, such as myself, are so frustrated. Even with my own insurance company, you would think they would be willing to help me out with at least the deductible....

Sorry had to get that off my chest before I went berserk.

Heed the warning....Avoid accidents at all costs, lol!!

Twenty down and...well, let's just say a lot more to go, lol!

I have lost over 20 pounds on my weight loss journey, so far. I am feeling so great! I want to shout from the rooftops....I am even starting to imagine how my life will be once I meet my goal. It is quite invigorating.

Last night, I took my last final for the semester. I feel so relieved. I got an "A" in Mike's class and am pretty confident I will get an "A" in Marni's.

I am savoring in thinking how much different my life will be next year, once I finish losing all the weight I have accumulated and have started down the career path that excites me!

Just wanted to drop a few lines before I forget. I might have to make this my homepage, so it reminds me to blog everyday...I am not as dedicated as I would like to be, lol!
