a little glimpse of me

people really will buy anything

Here is today's Fifty Dollar Purchase I Don't Need to Make:

The Thought Manager Organizer for Mothers

With this nifty piece of software, you can use your handy-dandy Palm Pilot to take care of such vital and impossible-to-handle-on-your-own-with-a-piece-of-paper-and-a-pen tasks as:

  • deciding whether your child's birthday party should be all-boys, all-girls, or both;

  • figuring out your family's 50-year vision;

  • assigning dinnertime tasks to children (I so don't need help with that one!);

  • plan what to bring on your next picnic;

    • and, best of all,

  • offer 31 days of inspirational prayers for your husband to use (Jews need not apply).


    • Seriously...if someone is getting rich off of this piece of crap, there has got to be some easy money out there, just waiting for me to pick it off the cash tree.

    my family's 50-year vision: college educations for everyone, heart attacks for no one, and christmas every year at my mom's house. voila! how hard was that?

    my 50 year vision: avoid the necessity of eating alpo in my dotage, drive a car that seats only two people, and someday eliminate all possibility of snow. ta da!

    50 year plan: spend as many holidays as possible far away from family. Where is the daily checklist that says 'Get your tired ass out of bed. Get to work. Kick ass at the office. Come home. Order in dinner. Watch Leno or have sex. Go to sleep'

    my husband's idea of a prayer: 'Dear Force [tm George Lucas] that I don't even really believe exists anyway, It sure would be nice if the Mets didn't suck ass this year. Love, Andrew'

    Remarkably similar to my husband's likely prayers.

    My 50 year plan: The kids will keep me in current-generation video-game platforms and games, while living far enough away to visit about every 2 months or so.

    Oh, someone most certainly IS getting rich off this crap, and it's most probably my cousin who owns a bigass fundamentalist Christian bookstore in Florida.

    Apparently, the love of money is only the root of all evil for us Christ-killers.
