Wendi the Vampire Slayer

I've decided that I like having Wendi around. She is really good at just about everything she tries. Cake decorating, scrap booking, hair cutting, cooking, etc. But she has a dark side too. Wendi loves Halloween, in fact it's her favorite holiday. Zombies, Vampires, Werewolves and ghosts are all important pieces of the Halloween appeal.

Every year we watch almost every television show on these subjects. The most haunted places on earth, Zombie apocalypse and monster discovery shows. Wendi is probably the most knowledgeable person I know on these subjects. If there is ever a virus that start bringing the dead back to life, I feel confident that my wife will know exactly what to do to survive it.

I saw something on TV lately that I am thinking that I need to get for Wendi. An auction show on the Discovery Channel recently had a vampire slaying kit. I'm thinking that this might be something we need to add to our 72 hour kit. If anybody could put this to good use it's Wendi.

I guess if I'm going to get this then I should probably invest in some Hazmat suits, an EMF detector and some silver bullets. I guess no price is too great for peace of mind, eh? Maybe Wendi can even start holding classes on these subjects and maybe eventually offer some sort of insurance or protection service against such attacks. We could make a slaying!

Not all that glitters...

Wendi sent me an IM today telling me about a new Barbie she saw a commercial for. I have to wonder what the focus groups were thinking with this one. Any parent who lets their kid ask for one of these from Santa is going to be sooooo sorry.


Without further ado, I introduce to you the new Barbie Loves Glitter doll.


This barbie includes everything seen here, a barber chair , a curling iron and a blow dryer. Sounds like the perfect gift for the young Barbie lover in your house. But this doll has a secret added bonus. Wait for it...the blow drying really blows air and with a flick of a switch glitter. Yes that's right, for just $25 a kid in your house could have in their hand a convenient glitter dispensing device.

You know how easy glitter is to get off of your. Now just imagine it all over your house. On your door knobs, couches, telephones, refrigerator and everything else you child touches. Yeah, good luck ever getting that glitter out of your house. You would pretty much have to rip out all of the carpet and have a has-mat team come in to clean it to get most of it. You may as well burn your house to the ground since that is pretty much the only way you will ever leave the house without glitter on you somewhere, and it will probably be on your face somewhere like always.

I can just see it now.... a brother is tormenting his sister and gets his grubby little hands on the dryer. She's screaming for him to give it back "Mommy, Billy won't give me my toy!!". He decides to take it to the next level and points the dryer at her and pulls the trigger. Next thing you know your daughter has an eye full of glitter.

Thanks for blinding my child, Barbie!!
