TWO Cool Things That You Should Know About

Cool Thing Number One:

So a while back I got an email from a very nice woman who wanted me to try out her product. I nearly fell off of my chair, because while I have heard of this happening to other bloggers, it doesn’t usually happen to me. Or, if it does, it is usually someone who can barely type asking me to share their “money-making opportunity” with my readers.

But this time the email made sense and the product was cool. It is called “The Wupzey” and you put it around your child’s highchair to catch food, so that you don’t have to spend an hour of every day sweeping (not that I do that, but I should). It looks like this:

(This is not the one at my house, though it is the style. I haven’t mopped for . .. . .um. . .a while so I thought it would be better if you could just focus on the wupzey and not on my deplorable housekeeping skills).  It’s easy to install on your highchair, and it comes in lots of cool patterns. AND it’s washable. I think it would make a great shower gift, or as a little present to yourself – because seriously, aren’t you sick of picking up all that food off the floor? I only wish there was one that would fit around the regular chairs.

Cool thing number two:

A few of you may know that I have a thing for Abba. I LOVE Abba. I have seen the musical Mamma Mia three times. It’s a really great musical, even for those who are not that into Abba. And now there making it into a movie (though if you can also go to the live show, you should – there’s nothing cooler than seeing an audience of all types getting and dance). At the premiere in London this summer, they will be looking for three women to perform as Donna and the Dynamos – the girl group from the show. And instead of putting out a notice in BackStage, Pond’s is having a contest. They are looking for sexy, sassy women in their forties to post their videos (or to go to the auditions in NYC April 28th) by April 30th. Then people can vote on the Pond’s website and whoever wins gets to go to London and perform.

I can’t enter because I really can’t sing. And I’ll be pregnant and all, which would totally ruin the pub crawling I’d want to do in London. But YOU should enter. If you enter and tell me, I will blog and send out emails to get everyone to vote for you. I will be so excited. Please do it. Be a Dynamo.
