Got a Jack Russell? You Need This!

"GoDogGoâ„¢ is the first, and still the only, Automatic Fetch Machine for dogs. Yes, now Fido can play fetch by himself. Really! The GoDogGo tennis ball launcher was designed to provide hours of healthy exercise and enjoyment for your dog. Think of GoDogGo as your dog’s own personal playmate that’s ready to play whenever he is!”

All I can say is HALLELUJAH. This would be perfect for our dog. He’s a Jack Russell Terrier, and well.. if you’ve ever known anyone who has one of these dogs you’ll know why we need this thing. He is worse than the Energizer Bunny!!! When we take him for a walk.. it’s not walking. He’s dragging us down the street. When we play with him, he’s not happy if you throw the ball a few times, he wants to play for hours. That’s our dog. Ugh. Want a dog? Put it this way, I can’t even give him away - and he’s really cute and sweet. I can’t spend $150 bucks for this at the moment, but it’s on my wishlist! In the meantime, I have 2 kids to thow the balls for me.

Now, This is an All-in-One Phone!

Okay, so it isn’t pink… nor is it especially shiny. If you didn’t know better you’d think it was some old phone from 1999. But let me tell you, this phone can rock your world!

The newly announced Samsung SGH-i310 features an 8 gig hard drive and can play back MP3, WMA and AAC music formats.  And it also includes a nice little 2 megapixel camera.  Toss in Bluetooth and USB 2.0 and I’d say this is the only phone you’ll ever need (well, until something bigger and better comes around in 6 more months).  It will run on Windows Mobile 5.0.

Now, if you’re in Korea.. you’re in luck.  If you’re in Europe.. you’ll wait at least 6 months to get your grubby paws on this one. As for us poor techno challenged Americans.. only God knows how soon it will be here. Typical.

Stop Asking Me Questions…

Just the other day I said a word and my daughter drove me insane as I tried to define it for her. I finally ended up telling her to go look it up on the Internet.  The word was redundant. A simple word, right? Well tell that to my headstrong 15 year old who thinks she knows everything.

So, what am I going to do today?

I’m going to fill that nearly empty 60gig video iPod of hers with a copy of Encyclopodia, the Wikipedia for iPod!!!!!!! Oh yeaaaa.

Next time she bugs me about the words I use like.. personified, unfathomable, etc. I’m going to tell her to use that shiny, expensive iPod we got her for Christmas for something other than that mind numbing hip hop that’s usually blasting from those ear buds. Will she use it? I don’t know.. but I’d honestly think it would come in handy at school.

And another thought, how come she has an iPod and I don’t? Something is wrong in the universe.

It’s Sweet Like Brown Sugar

Isn’t it beautiful.  It’s elegant but not overwhelming. The tagline from her website is “Relaxed Elegance” and I think that sums up this piece.

“...this necklace features Cultured Pearls in Chocolate and Champagne as well as Golden CZs, and can be worn beautifully from choker length to extra long. Available in 14k gold fill exclusively. This necklace layers very well with both the Champagne and Chocolate necklace and the Brown Sugar Charm Necklace.”

Now, as you know I’m a huge fan of pink… and well, this isn’t pink - but you know the browns, creams and earth tones are hot for spring - so I have to conform. *smile* Plus this piece is just beau-ti-ful. Click here to see the complete Brown Sugar collection.

Rainy Days Make You Cry?

Let’s make a rainbow! If you have kids, this would be a fun experiment.  Or maybe you’re having a really crappy day and long for the sunshiney carefree days of your youth.  Cheer yourself up and buy your own rainbow maker! Yes, there is such a thing. Don’t worry, I didn’t know about it either.  Here’s the description from the website:

“Stick this amazing little gadget on a sunlit window for 24 hours and watch. The solar panel powers the motor, which turns the axle, which rotates the big Swarovski crystal, throwing prisms around the room.”
