Enjoy, I sure did!

I want to be friends with this women. This was the best forward that I've gotten in a while. Please enjoy it as much as I did. I TOTALLY agree that this slogan is the worst! but this woman articulates it like I can only dream of doing. :)

Subject: Maxi Pads

This is an actual letter from an Austin woman sent to American company
Proctor and Gamble regarding their feminine products. She really gets
rolling after the first paragraph. It's PC Magazine's 2007 editors'
choice for best webmail-award-winning letter.

Dear Mr. Thatcher,

I have been a loyal user of your 'Always' maxi pads for over 20 years
and I appreciate many of their features. Why, without the LeakGuard Core
or Dri-Weave absorbency, I'd probably never go horseback riding or salsa
dancing, and I'd certainly steer clear of running up and down the beach
in tight, white shorts. But my favorite feature has to be your
revolutionary Flexi-Wings. Kudos on being the only company smart enough
to realize how crucial it is that maxi pads be aerodynamic. I can't tell
you how safe and secure I feel each month knowing there's a little F-16
in my pants.
Have you ever had a menstrual period, Mr. Thatcher? I'm guessing you
haven't. Well, my time of the month is starting right now. As I type, I
can already feel hormonal forces violently surging through my body. Just
a few minutes from now, my body will adjust and I'll be transformed into
what my husband likes to call 'an inbred hillbilly with knife skills.'
Isn't the human body amazing?
As Brand Manager in the Feminine-Hygiene Division, you've no doubt seen
quite a bit of research on what exactly happens during your customer's
monthly visits from 'Aunt Flo'. Therefore, you must know about the
bloating, puffiness, and cramping we endure, and about our intense mood
swings, crying jags, and out-of-control behavior. You surely realize
it's a tough time for most women.
The point is, sir, you of all people must realize that America is just
crawling with homicidal maniacs in Capri pants... Which brings me to the
reason for my letter. Last month, while in the throes of cramping so
painful I wanted to reach inside my body and yank out my uterus, I
opened an Always maxi-pad, and there, printed on the adhesive backing,
were these words: 'Have a Happy Period.'
Are you f------ kidding me? What I mean is, does any part of your tiny
middle-manager brain really think happiness - actual smiling, laughing
happiness, is possible during a menstrual period? Did anything mentioned
above sound the least bit pleasurable? Well, did it, James? FYI, unless
you're some kind of sick S&M freak, there will never be anything 'happy'
about a day in which you have to jack yourself up on Motrin and Kahlua
and lock yourself in your house just so you don't march down to the
local Walgreen's armed with a hunting rifle and a sketchy plan to end
your life in a blaze of glory.

For the love of God, pull your head out, man! If you have to slap a
moronic message on a maxi pad, wouldn't it make more sense to say
something that's actually pertinent, like 'Put down the Hammer' or
'Vehicular Manslaughter is Wrong',
Sir, please inform your Accounting Department that, effective
immediately, there will be an $8 drop in monthly profits, for I have
chosen to take my maxi-pad business elsewhere. And though I will
certainly miss your Flex-Wings, I will not for one minute miss your
brand of condescending bullshit. And that's a promise I will keep.
Always. . .

Best,

Fabulous! Absolutely Fabulous! That is all that I can say about my latest concert goings. Of course I forgot my Camera but maybe I can talk Maeg and Cassie into some of theirs...

First a few weeks ago I got a call from Maegan saying she had 2 tickets to Keith Urban! So I went down, got to hang out with Maeg, ate at California Pizza Kitchen, and got to see a fabulous concert! Now, I must admit, I have never been a huge Keith Urban fan. Don't get me wrong, I like a lot of his songs but I just have something against a man with highlights... not really sure why that is? Anyway, as the concert progressed, I could only think of 2 words to describe the man; sex appeal. Even in his sparkly shirt he had this charisma that was undeniable! It was amazing!!! He changed guitars after every song and each one was unique and spectacular. Little Big Town opened for him and they were okay too... But the energy that Keith brings was awesome. He almost got smashed at one point; people got too excited that he was walking by and broke a railing, only one person was hurt, but Maeg was more worried about how Keith was seconds from death, HAHAHA good times.

Next was the wonderful Brad Paisley. Oh how I love this man ;). We went to the concert with Logan and Natalie (thanks for buying the tickets Nat!) and then discovered Casssie and Michael were there! So we had great company! We missed the opening act due to the BYU football game, but we got to see Dierks Bentley, Who was GREAT! He sounds exactly like he does on radio. He even did "What Was I Thinking" which always reminds me of speeding through unpaved areas with Mickey after fixing a broken down truck. And then of course there was Brad. The videos he played were unique and fabulous, and he sounded great as well! He sang most of my favorite Brad songs and the lightening and a little rain made the concert even better!!! We jammed out to "online" "I'm still a guy" "Welcome to the Future" and many more songs and listening to "Then" live made it even better!!! (I love that song. It had to be written for me and Casey.) Anyway, He was FABULOUS!

The concerts were so much fun Thanks Maeg! Thanks Logan, Natalie, Cassie, Michael, and Casey. And a big fat thank you to Keith and Brad for being dream boats.

I have found that things that I once found funny, I find funny every time. It's ridiculous how I just can't help but crack up when I see or hear these certain things. So here is my list of things that get me every time! without fail! Some of them have a story behind them, that I won't share don't worry, and some of them are just plain funny.

• Ice Age the movie (1 and 2). Man it gets me every time.
• Pop goes the Weasel. (or Plop goes the fat weasel)
• Skills sleeping on her back.
• Ali. Any one who knows her knows that you will crack up at least once while with her.
• "My lasagne!"
• Batty's rap in Ferngully
• Thinking about Logans Gay Panguin belly flop.
• Thinking about Mom beating Logan while trying to act out "abduction" then peeing her pants
• "That chilli must be getting to me!"
• Nathan Baum wearing my shirt
• "The adventures of man hands and fluff"
• speaking giggle
• Baby bottle pops
• Ben and Jerry's
• Chubby hubby ice cream
• Sleeping on the street in LA

There are many things that make me crack up. These are just the ones I can think of today. And yes, I'm cracking up as I write this! :)
