neighbors, sick days, infomercials, poundcakes, etc.

We don't have cable. When my kids watch TV it's either PBS Kids, Qubo, American Idol, or some random show like Dr. Oz. Of all the above, the one that totally bugs me is Qubo.

Here's a question: Which is lamer...Qubo's shows, or their commercials?

They don't have normal advertisements. It's always one of those annoying commercials trying to get you to pick up the phone and buy their junk product. (Think ShamWOW! or Snuggie.) Katelyn, on the other hand, is totally taken in by the commercials. She believes every word the announcer says. She repeats the commercials back to me and tells me I should buy her all of it...

ALL OF IT !!

Can you guess what commercial she's been watching lately? I caught her acting this out in my kitchen today. She got really excited when I offered to tape it. Her hope is that people in houses everywhere will see it. I told her "maybe", so here is...

THE FRIEND MOP!

CALL TODAY!!

WHILE SUPPLIES LAST!!

(you know you want it)

In other news, Adam woke up this morning with torticollis (sp?), which basically means he can't move his neck...not cool. But he stayed home from work...cool! We edited the commercial together and I doted on him. I made chocolate chip poundcake and the house smelled really good. I found bugs in my flour, but my neighbor, Lou, saved me. She had flour without bugs.

Lou is moving soon. I don't like to think about it because I already miss her. I gave her a few big slices of poundcake. She told me I am a good baker, and she meant it. She thinks I bake all the time. I really don't, but I always make it a point to share with her. That's why she thinks I do it a lot. She has only baked once in her life, and that's why she thinks I am good.

I'm trying to think of ways to convince her to stay. Any suggestions?

P.S. Now Katelyn tells me that she wants to be in commercials. REAL ones! Heaven help me!
