The Biggest Loser

I ate pizza and ice cream during The Biggest Loser finale. That makes me the biggest loser, in a different kind of way.

My Mommy

The past month and a half has been an interesting one to say the least. When I found/figured out that I definitely needed surgery, I knew there was one thing I could not do without. My mommy. I needed her to help with the kids, but mostly I just needed her for me. This need is something that is hard to explain(Nash asked me to explain it to him), but I am going to try. Here it goes.

When I am with my mom, I feel like I can focus. I feel like I accomplish more when she is with me. She'll ask me what I want to do, and no matter how ridiculous it seems or unimportant at that moment, she helps me get it done. If there is something I think I can't do, if she says I can I believe it. Because she raised me she knows exactly how my odd little brain works. When I express doubt, anxiety or fear, she knows just how to reign me in and calm me down. I don't know why, but I listen to and follow her direction, usually no matter what. She knows I'm a spacey, forgetful, nut that can't make a firm decision on almost anything, and somehow she helps me through it. She just knows how to fix everything(or seems to know). She's like a soothing drug. When she's with me, I just feel relaxed and relieved. I know she was meant to be my mother.

I love you mom, thanks for coming to take care of us! I miss you.

More Things I Need

I'm feeling much better since I had surgery yet still bored out of my mind because I can't really leave the house by myself yet. So, what better excuse for some blogging about all the infomercials I saw on TV while I was all laid up and crippled? A whole month's worth, are you ready?

I vaguely remember seeing the ad for the following product on TV at some point. Just before my mom and I left for the store (the day after my surgery, I know. . . amazing) I was telling her that when I was pregnant with Journey we had a toy robot arm that I used to use to pick things up so I didn't have to bend over. Well, guess what I spied at Wal-Mart right next to the Ped Egg (another amazing product). The Gopher! It is the perfect gift for all your friends that have had back surgery people. No lifting, twisting, or bending for six weeks? No problem! This thing can pick up crumbs off the floor. I'm not even lying. This product is my new best friend.

Another infomercial product my mom got me (thanks mom!) is The Shark Mop. This was on my list too. I watched my mom use it on my floors (no bending or lifting, remember?) and it does an amazing job.

Have you seen Cindy Crawford lately? Woman doesn't look like she has aged a minute in about a decade. Well, apparently it is all due to this amazing serum that some doctor guy in France developed from a freaky super melon that grows there. Since only super rich and famous people can afford to go to France for their dermatological needs, Cindy has kindly developed a skin care line that works exactly like the serum the France dude came up with. Meaningful Beauty . I need it. Because this aging thing is not working for me.

Malibu Pilates I need this. I am drawn to anything pilates. Have I ever taken classes? No. I've always wanted to though. This chair looks like it wouldn't take up much room. I'm sure I wouldn't put my back out again if I had this!

Cricut Expression I am not crafty. AT ALL. Really. I'm sure this machine would make me crafty though. Just the link is not enough. You must see the commercial because this thing can do amazing things. It is a Provo Craft product.

Leg Magic I've wanted this one for a long time too.

Shamwow This one is bound to be so fun I'll want to clean all the time.

I forgot to mention two other products I own(ed) because of the infomercial:

Mighty Putty Haven't used it yet. I'm afraid I'll do it wrong and jack up the item I need to use it on.

Space Bags I had these and they really worked quite well. The only problem is that they tear more easily than advertised. The new cube bag looks awesome, so I think I might need them again.
