infomercial madness...



My parents bought us Montel's Health Master Blender!! Whoop Whoop! I am so stoked. I have wanted this thing forever! I eat salads for lunch almost every day and I get so tired of chewing and chewing and chewing while managing lunch with the kiddos. They are always finished long before I am. So, I half-jokingly told my mom I wanted this blender so that I could blend up my salads everyday and just drink them. She is a big smoothie drinker and has returned her super-nice expensive blender 3 times because the motor keeps burning out. I convinced her that Montel's Health Master was the answer to her dilemma. She got her blender the other night and we actually blended up a salad mixed with a banana, some yogurt and a few blueberries. It wasn't half bad! She brought mine over tonight and I can't wait to experiment.

Our son and his grandparents are infomercial junkies. Two years ago for his b-day, Jesse asked for {remember this post} or {this one}the Pancake Puff! Jesse and Shelby are glued to the tv every time the Magic Bullet comes on and they have even made their own commercials. My parents also bought themselves and us the Jack Lelane Juicer, which I have been asked to sell on ebay to offset the price of the Montel. Jesse talked them into the brownie pan, and I am sure if you dig through their cupboards you will find a plethora of other infomercial merch...maybe even the shakin' weights! Just kidding. But really, infomercials are pure entertainment. So much so that a few months ago Shelby and James spent an entire afternoon cracking each other up writing several of their own hilarious ones. Here is one of my favorites that they wrote together:

Magic Mane
Are you Bald?
Does your head constantly slip off your pillow at night?
When you go bowling, are people always putting their fingers in your ears?
At parties, do have to wear shades when they are talking to you because of the glare from your baldness?

Well, a new cure is here! Announcing for the first time ever, anywhere...Magic Mane!

Magic Mane penetrates deep into your scalp where the dormant hair follicles reside, bringing them back to life with our patented mane producing technologies. In no time at all you will look just like a lion with Magic Mane...by Mennon.

I love that they can be so silly together...I am much too serious. I need a little silly in my life!
