I have a sore throat. And not just any sore throat, THE sorest throat of all time. I’m pretty sure that I got it from my orthodontist while he had his entire hand in my mouth twisting these rubberbands into the proper configuration to maximize my torture and minimize my ability to speak.
I figure he’s responsible for 50% of my pain at the moment, I might as well blame him for the other 50%.
So, I’m tired, I’m sick, I’m in pain.
And yes, I am whining. I don’t think I have much to say of any interest at the moment, but here’s a little something.
1. Gulley told me about 2 weeks ago that she had bought herself a Schick Intuition razor and it had changed her life. I’m always looking for a life change in the form of hair removal, so I bought one for myself three days ago.
IT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE.
Shaving is so flawless, so easy, so quick and painless. Run, don’t walk to your nearest retailer of shaving products and buy one immediately. This is not a paid endorsement, this is just me sharing the greatest invention of the 21st century.
You’re welcome.
2. A few weeks ago, I was up way too late watching David Letterman and Kelly Ripa was on. Bless her heart, someone needs to tell her to put down the self tanner. I mean she is a pretty girl, but she looked like an oompa loompa. I’m hoping maybe it was just my T.V.
However, I am a fan of a good summer glow, especially the kind I don’t have to sweat or get locked out of my house to achieve. What do y’all recommend in the way of self tanners? I’ve always been a Neutrogena girl myself, but since I yearn for knowledge I’m always interested in learning about new products that will change my life…or at least my skin tone.
The topic is self tanners. Discuss amongst yourselves.
3. Every now and then I like to look at my sitemeter stats and see how people found me. My favorite thing is to look at the Google searches, because I know that’s just some poor, unsuspecting soul who was looking for real information and instead ended up here.
I picture them looking at my Wizard of Oz float and wondering what on earth went wrong and how can they get the last 3 minutes of their life back.
Anyway, the Google search that brings more people to Big Mama than anything else is “Expired Mayonnaise”. I don’t even remember the post where I talked about expired mayonnaise, but I know it was in reference to a Christmas present that Gulley once received from her mother-in-law.
Here’s my thought. If you suspect your mayonnaise is expired to the point that you’re doing a Google search about it, you just need head to the grocery store and pick up a new jar. Go ahead and throw that Hellmans out.
Or give it to your daughter-in-law for a Christmas present.
Another search that brought someone here was “Grooms cake made out of Little Debbies”. All I could think when I saw it was how on earth can I get myself invited to that wedding? A cake made out of preservative filled pastries? That’s just pure, culinary brilliance.
4. A few weeks ago, the folks at Nature Valley sent me a box of their new Oats N’ Honey cereal to try. It was delicious flaky, granola filled goodness. I always eat my cereal dry, because really, who puts milk in cereal? That’s just weird, deviant behavior. And this was so good that I almost ate the entire box at one sitting, which would have been okay because it’s healthy and has lots of granola-ish vitamins and nutrients.
Now, P, who eats his cereal with milk (freak), said that the granola pieces tended to get a little soggy before he finished the whole bowl, but that overall he loved the taste and said it was very filling. All in all, we liked it so much that after our free sample was gone, I headed to store and bought another box.
If you’re a cereal family, y’all might want to give it a whirl.
That’s all I’ve got, kids. Have a great Friday!
