I Love the Smell of Old Spice in the Morning

The hubby sent me a hilarious link from 15 Minute Lunch about the fine, fine home and fashion products from a 1977 JC Penney catalog.

I was in third grade in 1977 and it was the year of feathered hair and polyester. (And don’t even tell me if you weren’t yet born in 1977; I deal with that enough at work with all the new college graduate hires.)

Here are some little gems of humor from this post:

“...nothing absorbs errant pee like a nice thick shag.”

“In case of chest hair emergency, pull tab quickly and back away.”

Seriously, if you are eating or drinking you may want to stop before clicking ahead. It’s the funniest thing I’ve read in a while.

And, a few more links, because I’m just so darn giving:

• There’s a new Digg-like site for gauging what’s hot in the mommy blog circuit called Mom Blog Network. Now go check it out and rate your favorite mommy bloggers. (Give me some love, OK?)


• From Unclutterer, Self magazine has a 30 days to get organized challenge. Boy, I could really benefit from this! (She says as her keys are floating around somewhere going on day seven.)


• Slacker Mommy has a great Pure Essentials laundry giveaway. (Oh, don’t even tell me you don’t get excited about free detergent!)

We don’t have much going on today, except for a soccer game, which is fine by me. The hubby and I escaped to dinner at a new fabulous neighborhood restaurant last night while Miss C was at a birthday sleepover at our neighbor’s and Miss A was at my mom’s. Is it wrong that I started shouting “Free at last, free at last!” while the hubby opened two beers? It was a short-lived freedom as Miss C was home from her first sleepover at 11. And that was also fine by me. Have a great weekend!
