Here's a Smack in the Face

I was all excited the other day when I Googled my name and saw it on the front page. You see, just a few years ago I Googled my name and was met with information about a FBI agent with the same name. Now, it's my name on the front page. So I start explaining this to my husband thinking he'll be all impressed. Only I'm the one who gets shell shocked. Here's how it went down.

Me: I Googled my name today and discovered that I'm on the front page. The entire front page is all about my book and my writing career. Do you know what that means?

Him: Ummm, that you're an internet whore?

Yep, there it is folks. I'm an internet whore. How's that for support?

The Beauty of Television

I saw a new weightloss commercial the other day. You've seen the one with the animated lady and her husband? They both quit drinking sodas, he shrinks to almost nothing and she actually balloons larger.

I saw a new pencil drawing for a new product. It's just a lady talking about how this new drink supplement helped her lose weight. Get this at the bottom of the screen is this disclaimer.

"Cartoon weight loss not actual results. Real people require diet and exercise to lose weight."

WHAT THE @%$#?

I know that some advertising is misleading but to out and out lie? OMG! What is wrong with people these days? Is there no limit as to at least a sliver of truth is advertising a product?

Name on Card

So I'm talking to a biz friend the other day on the phone and she starts cracking up. I'm like 'what what?'
You know when you fill out a credit payment form online and it says Name On Card?
How many of you realize that means YOUR name? No really. It wants you to put the name of the person who is listed on the card.
Know what? Some people have put: Chase, Bank of America, American Express Blue

How do you do Mr. Blue? Do you go by American Express or just American or is it A.E.?
Come on. You know it's funny.
Makes you just shake your head and smile, doesn't it?

Size Doesn't Matter

We recently got a puppy. A papillion. For those who don't know what that is, it's a lap dog. I didn't know what it was either.
Well she weighs less than 10 lbs right now. When I take her outside she insists on trying to chase cars. Each time a car goes by she perks her ears up and runs to the end of her leash.
I'm like, what are you going to do if you catch one? Wrap your teeth around the bumper and hang on for dear life?
Plus she barks like she's a big dog. Our neighbor's dog was outside the other day (he can knock down a grown man) and it started barking at our puppy. She stands up and just started yapping right back, like 'bring it on big boy'. I was almost rolling on the ground.
