And I'm a fan.
I like both college and the NFL - and I'm very devoted to my teams. For college ball, I'm a Cougar Fan. BYU most specifically - and not just because I'm LDS (Mormon) or even because my husband got his degree from there...But have you seen the quarterbacks that have come from there??? Serious eye candy in their prime. BYU produces some great looking athletes.
Steve Young. Jim McMahon. Ty Detmer.
Ahem.
Sorry.
Back to work.
Now, my NFL team is the Chicago Bears. This is something I inherited from my dad...I guess you could say we were born this way.
*insert Gaga Sound track here...*
So - when it comes to football season, I get all giddy and excited and I start searching for the ultimate fan accessory that I might not yet have in my possession.
You know like these:
Spirit fingerz...because every fan is in the stands with their "JazzHands..." ...Yeaaaahhhh.... (in a drawn out jazzy sultry tone...)
or this:
Because no night out on the town is complete without your bedazzled rhinestone football purse. Look, I'm a pretty girlee girly girl, but a bedazzled football purse? That's just asking for trouble. And please don't make your husband hold this one while you go into the bathroom. Who knows what would happen...
I'm not even really sure what that is. Pretty sure it'd get stolen off of my front porch though.
However...
I am actually pretty sure I can't live without this...
'cuz it'd be awesome to make a grilled cheesehead sandwich.
Okay, so I know all about the Biebster...I have two tweenage girls after all. I also understand that celebrities tend to brand every day items as "their own" to capitalize on their fame and to gain more fortune... examples of this:
Madden NFL games (You see, he's a football star, and he branded a football game. Makes perfect sense.)
Wolfgang Puck Cookware. (An amazing chef who has branded his own line of cookware...)
Michael Jordan Cologne. (Because we all want to smell like a sweaty athlete...)
And now, introducing the most recently celebrity branded product, sure to make perfect sense in the minds of millions of Americans...
Justin Bieber Nail polish.
Because he's pretty and looks like a girl?
We'll go with that.
I've been on hiatus for a while -- and I've been telling myself it was going to take something truly special to get me back in the swing of things...
This. Is. Definitely. Special.
Little pills that make you emanate odors that are uniquely your own.
Other things that you can ingest that will help you emanate odors uniquely your own?
Beans. Broccoli. Garlic. Mouthwash.
The basics.
Hello friends, it's good to be back.
Also - I didn't choose this because I'm prissy and like to have my nails done. I chose this because It makes me feel pretty when I have my nails done. It's totally different. Trust me.
Yes, I'm aware of the faces she's making, and I think it's totally hilarious. Silly Girl.
Here is the gorgeous picture of my toes...pink with sparkles. Awww perrrtttyyy...
Wow...those are some, um...ginormous toes.
Ahem...

And now I've seen it all in the world of fashion.
The thing is, either I'm old or I'm completely out of touch with fashion these days because I honestly don't see the appeal to the average woman when it comes to these jeans. The average man...now I see where he'd enjoy seeing these worn...but the average woman?
Of course, I have a daughter that wears high tops with shorts (as do the majority of her friends) and another daughter who swears pink ruffles are all the rage in the third grade...so maybe I'm not the one to ask when it comes to fashionable things...I get my advice from a 12 and 9 year old. (Neither of which, by the way, would ever leave my home in these...not while I was still blessed with the gift of sight anyway). You see - we have two rules in our house - your clothes have to be clean before you leave the house, and you cannot own anything that could possibly be mistaken for Snooki's wardrobe.
Sorry folks, if you want these, you're going to have to make them yourself or goto Korea or Japan. They haven't quite made it to US retailers yet...I'm still flabbergasted as to why the buyers for Bloomies haven't jumped on these yet....
I like my nails as much as the next girl…
of course if the next girl is THIS girl, maybe like like my nails MORE than she does, because I’m not sure this is completely sanitary or kind, or productive, or…sane???
Just sayin’.
I love this time of year. People always find the most inventive ways to take ordinary items and turn them into splendid holiday gifts.
I love walking into stores and finding previously neglected items turned into amazing holiday gifts with the addition of a simple wrapping bow:
Nothing says Happy Holidays like Red Meat - Amiright???
I seriously think I’ve underestimated the gift quality of meat. Seriously.
Meat also makes a great decoration, in case you didn’t know…
Ahhhh…the pork and potatoes nativity … a must in every home. This decoration is also accompanied by the time honored Christmas Carol “We Three Kings Became Puppy Chow” (Sung to the tune of “We Three Kings Of Orient Are” of course)
These bath gift baskets have always made me giggle. I realize they are supposed to be a gift of relaxation and pampering treatments – however whenever I get one I can’t help but think…
“Merry Christmas Mom! You STINK!!!”
(Pretty please use this before our company gets here…no really, hurry. Maybe you should use it twice…)
This next gift is a beautifully wrapped piece…
Isn’t it gorgeous? Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m happy to get chocolate for Christmas. The more the merrier – BUT, it still kinda says “I thought of you while standing in the grocery checkout line…” Dontcha think?
Oh – Wait, I get it---you are buying the chocolate bar for the same person you are buying THESE for:
(isn’t it awesome how they incorporated the BOW into the packaging? No need to wrap! Pure GENIUS I tell you! GENIUS!)
Or finally – because buying her that blender last Christmas didn’t get you in enough trouble…
Oh look! What I always wanted … A Bottle brush. Gee. Thanks.
Thank you Bill C. for pointing out to me that meat is not only thoughtful but also romantic. Who knew…
When I got married my dress was big. It was frilly. It was ELABORATE…and it took about 20 minutes to get out of (mostly because of all the teeeny tiny buttons that ran down the back of it.
Our wedding ceremony was at 10 o’clock in the morning and our reception at 6 that night with various other family festivities in between. There was a brief stop off at my mother in law’s house where I was able to ditch the dress to take care of some…personal matters…but I also had an army of attendants there to help me in and out of the big puffy thing.
I have to admit though, even with all the time I’d be spending in that dress that day – I never, ever would have done this:
Think training pants for adults.
Can you imagine your first dance with your sweet new husband and he suddenly says….”do you smell something? I distinctly smell urine…”
or the awkward moment back at the honeymoon suite…
“just a moment dear while I slip out of my diaper…” Yes, because that will surely keep the flames burning…
What’s next? Nuptual Noseplugs?
Thank you Tiffany S-W. for sending these to me…you were right, they were something I could write about! Who ever thought diapers could be so interesting?

Many people will do anything for vanity.
I mean it’s very important to always look your best.
However, I think it’s very funny to see what people will go through to achieve beauty.
Remember the pore strips? Millions of women across America looking like professional football players with nose injuries just to get rid of a few black heads.
In fact, my sister and I bought these strips and decided to try them together. We made sure all the windows were closed and made sure nobody was coming over…then we wet them down and stuck them on the nose.
Two things -
1) when you are absolutely certain you aren’t expecting visitors is exactly when someone will show up unexpectedly.
and
2) when you pull those strips off quickly and with full force because someone has shown up at the door they not only hurt like heck but they will also rip in half causing you to pull the second half off while trying to see straight through the tears that have formed in your eyes.
That all being said – if you buy this thing (it’s supposed to make your teeth white, it’s called the Forever White) make sure you just block off contact from all people all together…
Smile and say cheese….
Admit it, you like the title of this post.
Heh.
I’ve spent the last two days trying to set up a new cell phone. You would think that in this age of all the technological advances and blah blah blah – there’d be an easier way to do this.
And for the record, I’m NOT technologically challenged. Promise.
But – I do love me a good piece of technology. And a good purse. I have several purses.
I do not have this purse:
And quite frankly I’m confused…is this so that people around you can watch TV? Because walking and watching cannot be safe… Is there going to be a rash of women walking down crowded streets holding their bags in front of their faces because the latest “Twilight” movie is playing on their bag? Imagine the car accidents – you thought driving and putting on makeup was bad – how about driving while watching Edward and Jacob fight for Bella’s undying love and devotion?
It’s a safety issue I tell you – safety PEOPLE!
And just imagine those women that suffer from OCOS disorder – Obsessive Compulsive Oh SHINY! – This is just plain cruel. Am I right Ginger? Ginger? – hey get away from those marbles….Ginger…GINGER????
(Love ya Gingah – mean it babe!)
Oh and if you do decide the safety risk is worth it…be prepared to pay top dollar for this one of a kind hand bag – and for the TV service subscription as well.
Yet another product that I am a victim proud owner of.
You see ---- *enter sad infomercial music here* I was born with…fine, limp hair.
It’s true. I know. Someone should hold a telethon.
So, because you already know that I’m a very hip and with it – and NOW type of person – and the only way for me to get the latest style in my hair was to back comb it until there was a little bit of height in it.
Yes, I’ve also tried root lifter. And I feel that product is inappropriately named. It did not lift my roots at all – they still had sad little faces and poor attitudes.
Anyway I bought some bumpits with the hope of an age-appropriate hair style that didn’t require much back combing or uplifting of the roots.
Let me ask you a question…have you ever back combed your hair (ratted, teased, etc) and then gotten your comb stuck and had to pull it out?
Or have you moms ever tried to get a sucker (previously sucked on) out of a child’s hair?
That is exactly what it takes to get a bumpit out of your hair.
There are tiny little comb-like teeth on the banana shaped dohickey. You are supposed to tease your hair and then insert the bumpit then gently smooth the rest of the hair over it.
HA!
gently…whatever.
Maybe I’m inept. I suppose this could all be user error. But it took me a solid 30 minutes (and lots of tears) to get the stupid thing out of my hair. While there was a lot of laughter coming from the other room. I’m going to assume my family was watching an old episode of The Andy Griffith Show and not laughing at me.
It doesn’t matter anyway. I’ve given up. I don’t need hair like this:
wait – that’s what it looked like after removing the bumpit…
yea, that’s it…I don’t need hair like this.
I’m not much of a makeup wearer.
Probably because I’m naturally beautiful…and humble…but mostly beautiful.
But the little bit of Makeup I do wear comes from one of those boutique-y shops that sells the kind of makeup that is supposed to be good for your face (because you know, purposely making your face dirty every day is good for it…)
Anyway – while I was shopping one day, I found these:
They are rub on tattoos – for your eyes! Forget trying to get the “smokey eye” with differing shades of brown and black – heck no! Just press one of these babies against your eye …
So you know I bought some, right? I had to try them out.
*the following story is true – although no photographic evidence exists – I swear, it’s true…I couldn’t possibly make this stuff up.*
I decided to buy the Smokey eye set – although animal prints were intriguing, I couldn’t think of any real-world applications for them – after all, it is JULY, not OCTOBER.
The instructions seemed simple enough, remove the protective backing, apply to eye, remove carefully and then brush with the setting powder.
OK.
I remove the protective backing.
I then take about fifteen minutes to look over the product.
I can’t seem to figure out which end is up. Does anyone know – for a smoky eye does the dark part go on top or bottom? I do a quick internet search and decide it goes on top…back to my project.
I cut the piece in half so that each “eye” is on a single piece of paper. I figure this is smart, because you see I don’t want to smudge the other eye while I’m working with the first one. I’m really proud of this discovery – because you see it didn’t say to do that in the instructions.
I lift the shadow to my eye and apply.
I then think back to my childhood days of temporary tattoos – you had to press HARD for those to transfer.
So the pressing commenced.
This is where I should note that this isn’t your typical tattoo…it’s powder with some sort of an adhesive built in. You can lightly brush your finger past, and it’s gonna get some shadow on it. But, I didn’t think of that. I PRESSED.
Note number two – don’t apply in haste – make sure it’s on straight.
I’m just sayin’.
When I removed – actually peeled – this thing back – first, it hurt. I’m not sure if it’s because of the extra pressing, or just because the adhesive is that strong…either way, it was not a comfortable experience. Again, pretty sure it was user related, and not product related.
I looked in the mirror at my handy work.
um…
Not so much smoky eye – more like, well ---- (and this is NOT me) This:
Why the lack of photographic evidence you ask? Well – quite frankly, I was worried I’d scare my kids.
That and I was pretty sure my husband might make fun of me for life.
So I tried to scrub it off.
It didn’t feel good at all to scrub off. This stuff is definitely meant to stay.
Thank goodness I had some heavy duty makeup remover left over from Halloween.
It did leave me with some red eye lids which did scare the kids. I promise it was a lot less traumatizing than the smoky eye effect. Well, maybe…
My husband, (also known as the “best husband ever”) bought me the greatest birthday present.
Her name is Summer and she is 4.5 pounds and 5 years old.
So As I was looking for puppy accessories (you know, toys, leashes, collars, bones – stuff like that) I found a few things that I consider to be, well – perfect for this site.
Let me show you a few things from my online adventure:
Apparently these purses are all the rage in Czechoslovakia. For adult women. Apparently they didn’t quite get the Paris Hilton dog IN a purse thing. They went directly to the purse shaped like a dog. At least this one won’t run away…maybe.
Or this one – Space dog.
Yea, that’s not creepy looking at all. Kinda looks like they wrapped her in tinfoil. I think the person who designed this has had one too many Costco hot dogs…just sayin’.
Or, Gold tone:
I’m thinking it’s a bit too much like something you’d find in King Tut’s tomb.
and finally
Yea, that’s not disturbing…
Ok, yes – yes it is. Here’s one more picture of my cute puppy to get that image out of your mind:
Much Better.
Today’s post is a little different – I have the two best friends in the world, and I need to share.
Okay, if you are already a fan on Facebook – you’ve already heard that we have a goal to get 1000 fans by July 4th. Yes, it was a lofty goal but I firmly believe in dreaming big.
(if you aren’t a fan, please do so by going here: http://facebook.com/someonewillbuyit – more hilarity ensues there…promise. Besides, it’ll make a girl happy – and you know you want to make me happy….)
Anyway - last night I made a wish that I would wake up this morning to 1000 fans.
So….
I.Really.Should.Choose.My.Words.More.Carefully.
This morning this is what greeted my on my Facebook Wall:
“Tamara – check your doorstep.”
I.Was.Scared.
When I opened the box:
“Now you have 1000 fans. From your two biggest fans.”
“This page has 50 fans.”
Alright, so I haven’t taken the time to count how many pieces of paper are in the box, but I pretty much can guarantee that there are enough to make 1000.
For the record, I love my friends.
This also proves that I’m not crazy, I’m perfectly normal – in my own little corner of the world anyway.
Can we please address the issue of Butt Pads?
I’m not talking about the charcoal Subtle Butt that we’ve featured before.
No, I’m talking about adding some extra fluff in your bottom, junk in your trunk, round to your ---well, okay you get the point.
The folks over at Feel Foxy want you to know that you can have a “cute round bottom as seen on Tyra Banks” with these silicone bottom enhancing pads. (I think that these were featured on Tyra Banks’ show, not that they are saying you’ll get Tyra Banks’ bottom…then again, one never knows…)
*blink*
*blink*
Or you could use the second most preferred method by women everywhere (and most likely more enjoyable)
Chocolate. Consumed in large quantities.
Of course, if you are kind of less graceful – these silicone pads might protect you from a painful fall…
So supposedly, you put this in your mouth and squeeze your cheeks and it makes you look years younger.
Um…Years younger isn’t exactly what I’m seeing.
Nope, not my first thought at all.
I can, however see men purchasing this in bulk for their wives.
Because you know if they are doing this they can’t be talking…I hear that is annoying to some men. My husband, on the other hand, loves the sound of my voice.
Right dear?
He says yes.
See.
So HRH (for those of you on the non-British side of the pond, that stands for His Royal Highness) Prince William has been dating the same girl for a while.
In anticipation of impending nuptials, some time in the past three years, retail giant Woolworths started to create fun little bobbles and trinkets bearing their images and stating ‘In Celebration of the Royal Marriage of…’ Leaving room for the date etc etc.
One problem. Wills isn’t engaged. Rumors are abounding that he might pop the question sometime in the near future (but that’s been the rumor for, oh – three years now – hence the ‘date’ on the bobbles being 200?, I suppose they didn’t think it’d make it to 2010?)
Poor Woolies…whatever are they to do with all these trinkets now?
Skeet shooting practice anyone?
Yes, I know this isn’t an actual product you can buy RIGHT now – however, some merchandising genius out there is preparing to make a ton of money off of these things. I mean, hey – you need a Prince William china service for 8 to go with that Princess Di and Prince Charles cookie plate and tea set, right? The thing that surprises me, somewhat sadly, is that this merchandising genius is right…these things are gonna sell like hot cakes – which doesn’t leave me any less confused.
I love Twilight. That period before dusk where the sky is a brilliant shade of blueish blackish navy and the stars are just starting to appear…
wait – what?
Twilight is a book?
and a movie???
Okay – yes, I did know that…and out of principle alone I’ve not read it (or seen the movie(s). I can appreciate a good book and a great movie – it’s the MERCHANDISING that drives me bonkers.
Yes, of course there’s the obligatory Twilight Lunch box (which of us as kids DIDN’T have a lunch box with our favorite movie character or super hero on it?) I can leave that alone.
I can even appreciate the Twilight bedding set for the teenage girl who is absolutely without a doubt on Team Emeril (what? whatever his name is then.)
But – I mean --- Really???
How about a onesie for the not yet addicted (as far as they know)
Or a bra…
how about your very own Edward to cuddle with (in Pillow form of course?)
No, not like that….One more like this:
I gotta tell you, I really don’t see what all these women see in him…
Seriously though, the minute I see an Edward or Bella toothbrush, I may have to have myself temporarily committed to a home for the insane…just promise not to have me roomed with any vampires.
