I know that I've been neglecting the old blog lately. The truth is that baseball has been taking up most of my time. Besides the fact that we have practices and scrimmages (and games starting next week) there's also a lot of parent calling. But I'm not complaining.
I really wanted to post today and was hoping that I'd think of something to write about. That's when it happened. An annoying ad for the Buxton Over the Shoulder Organizer came on tv. I'm sure we've seen it before, but it's an easy one to tune out (ok, the truth is that every time Miss Sniz and I hear "Buxton Over the Shoulder Organizer" we both think "Buxton Over the Shoulder Boulder Holder" but that's another blog entry--and probably not one that will end up on my blog).
The selling point of the product is how easy it is for a woman to keep track of her important stuff in this attractive purse (available in black, red and tan). At one point the over-the-top announcer asks, "Do you have to dig and dump to find what you're looking for?" Only seconds after he said it, my almost-eleven-year-old daughter asked, "Did he say, 'Do you have to take a dump every time you're looking for something?'" So, there's my blog post for the day.
