I believe you have my stapler.....

I still stand firm that the movie Office Space should have won on Academy Award but since comedy rarely does I give it my own special little award of a kick A$$ movie and one of my favorites.

This is Bob, oddly enough the names of the 2 "efficiency experts" in the movie Office Space. It is too cute and available in the female version too. Her name is Ann. I don't think I have ever worked with an Ann in a cubicle hell.... Pat, Tanya, Christine......those are pretty common.



A great reminder why I left the corporate grind years ago.... the tip of the iceberg was probably stocking the kitchen at the Warner Bros. Affiliate TV station I worked for with new dishes which I got to do on Easter. What a thrill. Oh wait, no it was booking my bosses personal Disney vacation, oh yes that was it.





Body Bag



Ever feel like you want to hit something or someone sometimes? Of course I do! I have a little boy, a husband, a rottweiler and 2 cats at home ... an optimum breeding ground for stress. While I'm not an advocate of violence, I do believe a good kickboxing class would help tremendously. If you're like me and can't make it to a class, then how about picking up one of these? This Body Opponent Bag is ideal for self-defense, martial arts, or when you just feel like kicking someone's butt. The Body Opponent Bag is made out of long-lasting robust Plastisol. You can fill up the base with either water or sand making your kick-butt buddy weigh about 270 lbs when filled. This idyllic stress buster can be found at Target.com. So next time your child throws a tantrum in line at the grocery store or your husband forgets to change the empty toilet paper roll, bring out your stress liberation tool and punch and kick away!

Chow Time Kids!



I would love to get this set for my son, but unfortunately he's a little too young to recognize the lovable characters from one of his favorite bedtime story, "Guess How Much I Love You". This classic story is about a loving father bunny's affection for his little bunny. This adorable feeding set includes a bowl, cup, fork, and a divided plate. Put this set on the coordinating place mat [seen below]



Other great feeding sets include this Girls' and Boy's Feeding Set. This set includes a bowl, cup, and plate. Each set is dishwasher safe and comes in a keepsake box.

eew Spammers!

Um to all of the annoying blog spammers out there - CUT THE $HIT. We do not want to hear about your "at home biz" or your "acne medicine". SPAM is un-cool and we will delete your comments.

Geesh I wish I had all day to sit and spam blogs! But then again I am cool so I wouldn't.

If you are cool and you hate SPAM buy this shirt from someone we found on Google by searching "no to spam t-shirt"






Ode to Willy Wonka



Yummy! I can just imagine sitting in front of my Chocolate Fountain Machine gobbling tons of chocolate covered strawberries, pretzels, bananas, and licking chocolate off my fingers from the occasional "Ooops my fingers have chocolate on them again!". This contraption is definitely not "Jenny Craig"-friendly. The Chocolate Fountain Machine would make a great addition to parties and get-togethers. Everyone will just want to have dessert! You can find this sinful piece of equipment at, of course, Target.com.

Padded for your pleasure- uh I mean safety- uh I mean for your decor

So I am feeling a little dirty. I do not know what has gotten into me but I am on a roll. So anyway I went to the homepage of the lovely Target today and I saw a padded headboard. OH MY. Not only is it cute decor wise but something went off in my head that was a little dirty.....

I know that I don't need to explain it to you. Should you be a bucking ruckus in the budoir perhaps you need to check out the new line of padded headboards. Black, buckskin and oatmeal.






Eew you said Cooter

I LOVE how the actor who played Cooter in the original Dukes of Hazzard TV show is all wigged out about the new movie. He was on the Today show last month raving about how the new movie is just an excuse to have a sexy movie and it is degrading to the original series. HELLO your characters name was COOTER. If that is not a "grown-up" word and reference I don't know what is. Whatever dude you are just pissed you were not in this movie....


Not available yet but when it is you will want one. We know it.





Shower in Style

Getting back to my bathroom decorating, I need a shower curtain for my guest bathroom. Target.com offers a wide selection of shower curtains for every taste, from the simple to the whimsical. These are some of my favorites.

Where's the Baby?



At first I thought it was a backpack, but then I saw the arms and legs peeking out. Surprise, that's a baby in there! Now why didn't the other carrier manufacturers think of this. I wish the carriers my husband and I used had a canopy to go over my son's head. We either had to hold a hat on him or hold a blanket overhead. Target.com now offers the Chicco Smart Support Carrier for parents looking for an alternative. This carrier features three different positions and the canopy offers head support and wind/sun protection. The carrier also has padded shoulder and waist straps to give you, the parent the comfort you need. Visit Target.com to see the Chicco Smart Support Carrier in other designs.
