Good try, Tide

I have to take a minute to talk about how preposterous this new detergent from Tide is.  It’s called Tide Febreze Sport.  Since when did my workout clothes need special detergent?

The advertisements are trying to tell you that you need to get your workout clothes smelling extra fresh because you sweat in them.  But that’s exactly the reason you do not need them to be extra fresh– you’re just going to sweat in them after you wash them!  Sure, no one wants to have smelly workout clothes sitting inside the dresser stinking up the other clothes, but do you need an extra special detergent?  No, my regular one will do just fine.

Good try, Tide!

Sometimes I write down all the stuff I was supposed to do today on a to-do list for tomorrow and it makes me feel better that I didn’t do it today.

Sunday Blues

Growing up, I always dreaded Sundays.

Sunday was a day to do all the homework I was supposed to do during the week or over the weekend.  Going to church was even worse, not in itself, but that it ate half the day, and left me with only a few measly afternoon hours in which to complete said homework in time to watch a few hours of television before going to bed.

And heaven forbid it be nice out.  Then I would have to deal with my one or more of my parents making me feel bad about not going outside.

Sundays aren’t so bad anymore.  It may have to do with the fact I don’t really have homework anymore.  It also may have to do with the fact that I don’t have to wake up at the crack of dawn on Monday morning.  I’ll probably always have a love/hate relationship with Sundays, but right now?  I look forward to them.

Happy Sunday.

Relieved Again!

I’m relieved again.  I’m so relieved that Haeley Vaughn got voted off American Idol this week.

For those of you who don’t watch, this girl is a hot mess when she sings.  This week she took on Miley Cyrus’s “The Climb.”  And let me tell you, it is quite a gift to make Miley Cyrus look like a grade-A singer.  But Haeley pulled it off.  Congratulations for singing so terrible even people who hate Miley Cyrus would have rather had her singing instead.
