Haha

I should not be allowed to blog in the middle of the night after I've taken my Ambien. You can thank this magical sleeping pill for my bizarre previous blog. So, in addition to apologizing for my ramblings, I would like to take this moment to share with you my thoughts on some books I've read during my summer vacation.

1. Become Your Own Match Maker- Patti Stanger-
This book took me like five seconds to read. It was mildly amusing. I heart the show, and the book was very much like the show. But I did walk away with some tips I may try.

2. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies-
All I have to say is please please do not read this book. It is probable the worst thing I have ever read. I had to read the real Pride and Prejudice afterwards to get this horrible book out of my mind

3. The Shoe Queen- Anna Davis-
This was a book I impulsively picked up at the library, mainly because it deals with shoes. It was however, a pretty good book. The characters were well developed. The plot was not that original or gripping (married woman has an affair and falls in love with another man), but I really did get to know the characters. I would recommend this one.
4. The Book of Jane- Anne Dayton-
Another impulse pick from the library. It turned out to be Christian chick lit. It was not the great American novel, but it kept me entertained and had a warm fuzzy message.

5. Brave New World- Aldous Huxley-
This is one of my favorite books ever. I love the thought provoking plot and ideas. Are we heading in this direction? Thoughts?

6. The Shack- William Young-
I read this book after a lot of convincing from my mom. I hated it. I hate kids dying. I understand the "message" of the book, but I could not get over the little girl dying.

Any suggestions for #7?

Also I want an iPhone.

Mini Men

It's very rare that most women need a man around the house. We can easily kill spiders, open jars, hookup the computer, move furniture, check the air in our tires, etc. Nut usually we let men take these feats as noble conquest won in the name of protecting their fair lady....or something.

So I've been thinking about what I need a man around the house for. I collaborated with Shanny, and we came up with the perfect idea. Mini fixing men. They are like wind up toys, except you don't have to wind them up. You order them from a catalog I have yet to create, and when they arrive, they go straight to work. Whence finished, they walk back to their box for proper storing until next time.

Until the catalog comes out, you will not know all of the specialties we have of little men helpers, but I will describe three of our products below:

1. HEALING MINI MAN- This fleet helps primarily in the shower or bath (not because they are pervs, but because he's a professional and know you are most relaxed in the shower. So it makes his job easier too). His mission in life, his ONLY mission, is to unhurt you wherever you hurt. See how small his mini healing hands are!!!!

2. MINI WARRIORS- Warriors hate most of our mini men and actively try to destroy them. No one has actually ever ordered a warrior fleet, they are just very sneaky and sneak in with other boxes. We have yet to learn how to defea
t them, so if you have any suggestions, please please please let us know. There might be something shiny in it for you.

3. MINI MOTIVATION MAN- This team is set up into two groups. One group yells, and nags, andfollows you aruond...WHEREVER YOU GO...reminidng you about what you need to do. The other team talks to you until they can figure out why you are a procrastinator. Once they figure that you, you have found the motivation. However, just in case, our team will be wilth you until you finally get your lazy ass out of bed and do what you need to do. Then they will leave you alone.
