Today the latest Twilight movie opens yet it was apparently way better to share the news that my butt is still out of shape. Thanks USA Today! Cause today wasn’t weird enough. I needed my butt to be the cover story.  The least you could have done is linked to me since you found me through my review of Skechers Toning Shoes. Guess I won’t hold out any hope that they will be sponsoring my next blog conference. Perhaps I should contact Nike now.For those of you who missed my butts 15 minutes of fame:

Barb  of Denver says she considers her toning shoes a “cute gimmick.”Her Shape-ups help to strengthen her calf muscles, she says, but did nothing to tone her butt and thighs. Even though they are her “most comfortable pair of shoes,” she says she regrets spending $120 on them.As for Skechers trying to persuade men to buy them, well, good luck with that.”My husband would not be caught dead in these things,” Barb says.

In other weirdness Carter had a minor surgical procedure today. It was B L O O D Y. Surprisingly after all we have been through I still can’t handle the sight of blood. He asked them not to put him out cause he can’t feel that part of his body anyway. Do you know how bizarre it is to see your kid essentially being operated on while they are talking to you about Club Penguin? Speaking of sponsors, Carter can’t get out of bed except to go to the doctor for the next 5-6 weeks so if all you pr fairies could send movies, wine and ice cream I would appreciate it. I may let Carter share too–except for the wine cause that would be completely inappropriate.And the hopefully last of my strange day. I pulled into Chick-Fil-A and realized it is right next to a cemetery. A cemetery is in the middle of a strip mall. What the ….?  And how have I not ever noticed this before???? How do these location experts still have a job?
