Aren't they a beaut!

I just received an email addressed to my mom and myself. My mom and I are both pretty much known for our fashion risks and styles, so it only seems fitting that my sister would write to us saying that if we ever bought stilettos, she hopes we buy these.

And why wouldn't we?

They're chunky, they're hideous, they don't look any more comfortable than regular stilettos, and they look great with thick winter socks!

My favorite part about this product however, besides the "in action" adverstisements, is the warning: *Not recommended for actual hiking, gardening, mountain climbing, or Phish concerts.

Oh, and that they cost $330.00.

Shut up Sky Mall Magazine - Litter Kwitter

As usual, the Sky Mall magazine did not dissapoint during my latest travels.

In fact, I've decided to introduce a new little segment I like to call Shut Up Sky Mall Magazine.

An ode to the absolutely ridiculous crap they are trying to sell.

Today's featured product is the Litter Kwitter, which is allegedly an "award winning cat toilet training system."

I couldn't make this $h*t up if I tried.

To see the absurdity in action, click here http://www.litterkwitter.com/en/index.php. I can't even imagine how dirty your cat's tail would get from this action.

I can assure you that if I walked into a friend's house, went to the bathroom, and saw a cat peeing on the toilet, I would end that friendship immediately.

Strike one is obviously that you have the cat in the first place.

But strike 2 is that you bought a cat potty training system. And strike 3 is that you paid $59.99 for it.

Guess what?! You're out!

Caress me down

I flew to Nashville this weekend for a friend's wedding and was all prepared to get felt up by the TSA on both the outbound and inbound trips.

Nope. I also wore my best undergarments for that violating body scanning machine and didn't even get a lick of action from it or the TSA officials.

I guess all the hype doesn't apply to us po' folk who don't live in big cities.

In fact, much to my surprise on this holiday weekend, security was as lax as ever and my flights weren't even full.

It's true what they say. Don't believe everything you see on TV!

Mondays - The tiger den version

This was my fortune last night after a delicious Kung Pao Chinese feast.

Wtf?!

Apparently my future involves catching baby tigers...Oh Mondays...You really are too much.

Diveats - Pecan Squares

Todays Diveats is brought to you by this recipe from Barefoot Contessa.

I know it looks like minced meat in the photo, but those are actually very rich Pecan Bars.

This is, to date, the most extreme, decadant dessert I've ever made.

It calls for not one, not two, not five, not eight, but NINE sticks of butter.

I made this with a colleague as a Thank You treat for some people in my office and we were both in shock as we saw what the Doctor (Ina) ordered for the recipe.

I made sure to eat just the top of one. It's hard to binge on your creation when you know that each bar literally has almost half a stick of butter in it.

T'was good, and fun to bake. But never again shall I make these. I feel like there are a lot of other desserts that taste as good without the absurd amount of fat.

I'm Thankful for You

This Thanksgiving I'm thankful for a lots of things.

I'm thankful for my family, my husband, my real friends, my health, my happiness, etc.

But mostly I'm thankful that Snookie didn't leave the Jersey Shore house during the beginning of the first season after getting wasted in the hot tub and actin a fool.

Can you imagine how different our lives would be if Snookie hadn't stayed in the house, become famous, and entertained us endlessly in the subsequent seasons?

I cringe at the thought of it.

Thank you Snookie for rerouting the course of history in the right direction!
