This is the pits!



Okay, so there are products out there that I really don't understand.

This is one of those things. I mean... come on! Do my armpits really need to be satin-y smooth. I shave everytime I shower, can't stand stubble...so aren't they smooth enough already? Who is going near my armpits anyway? Sure, Curt and the kids might, but they don't TOUCH my armpits. Because I have such an sweat problem in the first place (yes, I'm getting Botox for the pits) do I have to worry now about them not being silky smooth?????

The best product are Lil Swimmers. LOVE THEM. I remember when we used to go swimming with Aaron and Alyssa and their big, ugly friend the swollen diaper. Then we would have them wear rubber swimsuits only to have to change them with the unfortunate luck of "#2" in the pool but contained in the diaper. YUCK! Still seems unsanitary either way you venture, but Hayden has yet to grace us with this experience. What a good little boy.

So, now you tell me. What are the products out there that no one really should have wasted their time and money on? What is the best use of time and money to you????

I have a juice maker thing. You put fruit in, you get juice out. I don't get it. I have honestly never used it. I think the idea was to have something to do with all the fruit during the summer, for the sake of fresh and tantalizing beverages. But... like I said, I just don't get it.

On the other hand, Manuel got a bamboo steamer for his birthday which we used finally this week. It stinking rocks! I loved it! I loved that I could cook veggies without all their vitamins being lost in the water. And it had a great flavor. And it looks cool. Bamboo steamer is now one of our kitchen belongings that contributes to a happy Karla. And who doesn't want a happy Karla?

Two things that are unnecessary:

1. Electronic jar opener. This was given to me as a gift by the same man who gave me a Barbie Doll calendar (he saw I had Cinderella Barbie dolls and thought I collected the dolls when I collect Cinderella stuff instead) and a Barbie doll t-shirt that was in a girl's x-large, not a women's x-large. The latter I donated to my school.

I've never used the jar opener, nor did I use the barbie doll calendar either. Now that this man is no longer in my life, I have no bad feelings about getting rid of either one.

2. Well you know how political I am, how about our government's wasteful spending? Go to this website: www.taxpayer.net and look in the Earmarks category of all kinds of things are government thinks should be payed for be us taxpayers.

This web site is for Taxpayers for Common Sense and is a non-profit, non-partisan group that is simply in Washington D.C. to sniff out the people abusing their purchasing authority.

I LOVE my rice cooker. I always thought people were weird for not cooking rice on the stove. I mean come on, how hard is rice, but I have been brought over to the rice cooker side. I love mine, it can make up to 20 cups of rice and you can make meals in it.
Shower heads that you can change settings on. On of the best things in the world.
When I can think of something else, I'll leave another comment.

I love cleaning agents that really do what they are supposed to do, ex. Resolve Spot Magic (love), Soft Scrub (love), Ajax (love)
I think a waste of an idea is the cleaning wipes like dustings wipes, or windex wipes, because they are weak and useless to me.

I have to disagree on the "Secret". I'm with you in the silky smooth department, but I LOVE the smell! I smell pretty all day regardless of how much i sweat.

I see no use in breadmakers. I mean if our fore mothers can do it, what the heck is wrong with me?

One product I cannot do without though is Oxyclean. Where have you been all my life?
