(Sidebar: As long as I’m doing reviews, the apartment is sorely in need of some new and fantastic bar stools before we throw our next shindig, and this site is totally tempting me…)
So, this weekend I was lucky enough to get some free stuff. When is that ever a bad thing?
Answer: When it’s an STD.
Zing!!!!!!
Anyhoo.
First up, a lovely lady from Glasses USA asked if I’d like a free pair of eyeglasses. (They also have prescription glasses, and their prices seem pretty darn reasonable to me.)
My answer?
I went with the Michele Burgandy eyeglass frames, mostly because the name reminded me of Anchor Man but also because they are kind of awesome, no? They even inspired my new Twitter profile pic!
Yeah… so… that happened. Moving on!
(Oh, and just in case you can’t see what I’m reading…)
Yes, that is Glamourpuss, by the genius people from KittyWigs. Anytime y’all want to send me something to “review,” I am GAME, ya hear me?
Next up, another lovely lady was wondering if I’d like to try some magical new skin lotion from Skin MD. (Okay, she didn’t say magical, but it is snOMG here and I am SCOTCH-IRISH, people. Just imagine what my hands look like right about now. Any sort of lotion is magic to me at this point.)
At first touch I was skeptical, as it seemed a little runny. I tend to like the super thick, almost-impossible-to-spread cremes and lotions. But it quickly absorbed and seems to be doing its job quite nicely, thankyouverymuch. If you want to try it, their store locator can help you find some near you.
And finally… well, yesterday was Valentine’s Day! So of course I got free stuff, aka presents!
The man?
HE KNOWS ME.
That’s right, my friends. He got me a completely badass giraffe computer bag for the new Mac…
And six pounds of ketchup.
Klassy.
Trouble, I tell ya. With a capital “T” and that rhymes with “P” and that stands for Pussy!
Oh, is that not how it goes?
Happy Monday, chickadees.

And how many giraffes had to die to bring you that bag…
Well, probably less than one. The long necked freaks.
Oh, it’s totally fake. Otherwise it wouldn’t be KLASSY.

My cat needs a wig. Stat! Judging by the photo on that book, we could even have matching blue bobs!!
Why yes… you could.
.-= Elly Lou´s last blog ..Enjoy Your VD =-.
LOVE that bag!
I know! He is good, this man.
A laptop bag and ketchup? *sigh* He knows what a girl wants.
A keeper for SURE.
Is your bag being humped or do the kittehs think they’re in the jungle?
They are ferocious beasts, after all.
Humping ferocious beasts, but beasts nonetheless.
.-= jen´s last blog ..Junior, You’re a Genius, You Think with Your Mind and Not Your Penis =-.
I am so loving that computer bag!!! I want it! Must have it……
I have a special affinity for all things giraffe. LOVE.
.-= Tee aka The Diva’s Thoughts´s last blog ..I Have Had IT! =-.
I love that Glamoupuss book! I have been wracking my brain for about 6 months trying to think of someone I could give it to as a gift. But I can’t think of anyone that would appreciate it’s hilarity as much as I do!
Also, where did he get that beautiful bag?
They’re actually sold out of the books right now! Insane, isn’t it?
And I’m not sure, but I can ask
I got some free stuff yesterday, too.
Breathed in some free air all day.
Developed a massive case of the shits–all for free!
How romantic for your wife…
.-= MJenks´s last blog ..We Have a Problem Here… =-.
The bag! The Bomb! Me likey likey.
Have to ask though, what up with the ketchup? Am I missing something? Do share.
As a cheeseburger-and-french-fry addict, you can see why one might need a ketchup stash around. He has his hot sauce, I have my Heinz.
.-= Priscilla´s last blog ..Whale, because I luv you! =-.
I would have made the exact same selection of eyeglasses, based on the same reason.
You’re a fan of “The Whale’s Vagina” too??
.-= Summer´s last blog ..So We’re A Few Players Short Of A Hockey Team =-.
Whee! And the cats always want to get IN the bag. Unzip it and let them IIIINNN! What did you get B? I WANT TO KNOW!
Johnny Walker GOLD, baby. Even my liquor must have bling.
.-= k8´s last blog ..The Laptop Doctor =-.

That sounds like the beginning of a WYR Wednesday.

Love love LOVE the bag! And the glasses are rockin! How cool is that?!? To get free glasses?????/ Sweet! Beautiful ma’darlin’ BEE-U-TI-FUL
Not gonna lie. It’s pretty awesome.
I love love LOVE giraffe stuff (my wallet is that exact print) AND I’ve been looking for a computer bag. Might I ask where he got you the bag and if it’s for sale online? I’d buy it this second!
Emailed! I couldn’t find it online though. Sad face.

.-= Skylers Dad´s last blog ..Monday Morning Madness =-.
The bag is so cute! I’ve been looking for a new computer bag forever and haven’t found one. You look adorable in those glasses too!
Aww, thanks lover! They aren’t half bad, are they?
.-= Jessica´s last blog ..I Adore… =-.
The giraffe bag looks awesome. Maybe I need a more … woman-ly bag for my laptop too. I only have a backpack and one of those business laptop bags.
And you are so lucky for getting free glasses. I need to become a popular blogger too, because I totally wouldn’t mind a new pair of glasses for free. They look great by the way!
Thank you! I am a lucky gal.
.-= Karen´s last blog ..Home =-.
My boyfriend got me a Snuggie. So I’m pretty sure we’re dating people with the same sense of humor…
HA. I came home to a Snuggie last summer! That was before they had the animal print ones, though… I might need an upgrade…
.-= J´s last blog ..Who Else Got a Snuggie Today? =-.
I didn’t realize that one of your cats was a Siamese! I love my Meezers!
Well, he’s a mutt, but there’s definitely some Siamese in there! Aren’t they adorbs?

As long as you can remember your name without writing it on your hand, you’re doing better than her.
.-= gingermandy´s last blog ..I have no idea what any of this is about. =-.
That glasses are hot. You can be my sex-ratary any day. I’ll pay you with free shit and ketchup.
That giraffe bag is hot.
Done and DONE.
Glasses are cute – as is bag!!!
Thank you!
.-= Herding Cats´s last blog ..And the award goes to… =-.
Love the bag!!! & your glasses look soo cute!! Love the color.
That’s my favorite part, too!
I always knew that trouble and pussy rhymed.
Tee hee.
Six pounds of ketchup? That’s the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen. Seriously, I eat ketchup probably far more than anyone ever should…I get made fun of at work quite a bit because I put ketchup on my turkey sandwiches. So judgey.
ME TOO.
Don’t tell anyone…
Mmmmmmmmmmmmm, ketchup! My favorite vegetable.
I know. I never understood why it didn’t make it onto the Food Pyramid…
.-= LA Cochran´s last blog .."And me, I’m flying in my taxi" –Harry Chapin =-.
I’d be concerned about what the cats will do with your new bag. And I love the new glasses!
Don’t worry, as soon as I heard claws, play time was over.
Ooooh, I love your glasses!
I’m so FASHION-Y in them.

Love the glasses! Nice color!
Thank you! They’re muy fun.
Which is why I always, always, always want to win a giveaway but never do!
See, that’s why you need to HOST the giveaway, and demand one for yourself too
I really like the glasses. I’m due for some new ones myself.
Bag – Love it!
Ketchup always a plus!
Nobody mentioned how cute you are in your glasses – so I will.
You are adorable aren’t you… Do you mind if I have a girl crush on you?
Well, now that I’ve gone all wierd…
Awwww, I love you! Thank you so much. That just made me day, haha.

See, this is why, when someone asks me “so what do you want to be when you grow up?” I say “I wanna be LiLu”. (And then they laugh because, much like the Highlander, there can be only one LiLu).
The kittehs obviously think the bag is a stylin’ cat tote. Good taste, kittehs!
I am truly an original, I’ll give ya that…
.-= MsDarkstar´s last blog ..Happy Feast of St. Stoogepie! =-.
Love the glasses. I should’ve went through those people.
I received chocolate covered strawberries – 3 to be exact.
Chocolate is ALWAYS a good thing. Good man.
.-= Allison´s last blog ..going with the flow =-.
I’m glad that you received Heinz ketchup. There really isn’t any other kind!
I once worked at a restaurant who made their own ketchup. Such a sad time in my life…
.-= Sean´s last blog ..2010 Pittsburgh Sports Blog Tournament – Sweet 16 =-.
I think I would have quit on principle. Actually, I take that back. When I worked in the dining hall in college, I don’t think they served Heinz. Well, maybe they did. While I argue with myself, just ignore the first sentence.
.-= Sean´s last blog ..2010 Pittsburgh Sports Blog Tournament – Sweet 16 =-.
So much class. As always.
You know it, lady friend.
.-= Suburban Sweetheart´s last blog ..Mr. Rogers Would NOT Be Proud =-.
You make the most mundane things hysterical. Love it sista!
Haha, thanks. We might have to give Kitty Wigs some of the credit, though.
Love that bag! So chic! And what’s with the ketchup? Did you have to spread that all over your body and let him lick it off?
What?
It’s was love day and all.
We could make our own vampire movie!

Ketchup? What’s up with the ketchup? Please tell me you put on hotdogs because I’ll heart you if you do!

Um, I want that bag. Not that I’m going to fly in and take it or anything. I would never do such a thing!
Cute glasses!
.-= shine´s last blog ..We interrupt your regularly scheduled posting to tell you that IT’S MOTHERFUCKING SNOWING UP IN HERE. =-.
The glasses look incredible! And I love the idea of the giraffe bag and ketchup. What a fun gift!
.-= debbie´s last blog ..Sleeping Beauty? Not in Your Life =-.
Thanks for the reminder about GlassesUSA – the way my son goes through glasses is scary, but he’s active so it’s to be expected. Unfortunately, the kid has good taste in frames and that can get expensive, GlassesUSA has good prices – I like yours!
Ah, your posts always give me a twinkle in my eye (or maybe that’s mischief creeping her ugly little head in again). But either way, free stuff is always good, like free hair straightening in the mall… That was my yesterday. Yay.
I have no idea where to start….so I’ll go in the order of things that appeal…
**The giraffe bag is rockin! I also think that it is a great toy purchase (mac) I really am saving all my dimes and nickles for one too!
insert side note**Your siamese…is it seal point? I ask as I have one too MR. FIDGET!
**I would like to know the fascination with Heinz?!?! I have a kid who also has the same affection and I bought her some garb from the Heinz shop (totally rediculously small store that sells all things heinz…yes, a dill pickle pin that dances with a ketchup bottle)
**Free things are great!!! I would love things free…and yes, I’ll pass on the STD’s thanks!!!
As for things to review…I would like some great book reviews! I am going to be off for 3 weeks for a surgery and I am looking for book material…open to all suggestions.

Would it be too weird to say that I thought I’d noticed the glasses in your new Twitter picture? Because I had. And they’re cute! Go you with the free stuff and the giraffe bag, but especially the ketchup. I knew we clicked for a reason. Life without ketchup is pointless.
My MOM sent me candy for Valentine’s Day. And then my boyfriend ate it while I was in the shower. FAIL.
Six pounds of ketchup???? Do you use it in some kind of sick sexual perversion?

OMG so JELLY.
LOL.
Ok, enough with the internet slang. You rock.
