I was slightly devastated today to learn that McNeil-PPC, Inc is discontinuing manufacture of my brand of tampons: o.b. Yes, those freaky little numbers sans applicator. I LOVE these tampons. How do I love them? Let me count the ways…

1) They are way more absorbent and leak proof than any other tampon I’ve ever tried and since having a child and reaching my late 30s, I bleed like a stuck pig. A stuck pig on its period. TMI? Tough.

2) They are small! Easy to fit into a pocket – even a teeny tiny pocket. I’m an active person and I travel for a living so I don’t always want to lug my purse or a giant tampon around with me, like on stage, when I’m snowboarding or running, riding Tower of Terror at Disneyland… you get the idea

3) No applicator – no extra waste! o.b. tampons are the greenest, most eco-friendly tampon you can find. There are other crazy contraptions like sea sponges and cups that are groovy and all, but sometimes, you just gotta jam and let’s face it, I bleed like a… well, re-read #1.

So McNeil-PPC, Inc., I damn thee to hell! I hate you for making me love you and then walking out on me. I thought we had something real. I guess I’ll just have to go with the flow and find a new slow jam.

I’m THRILLED to announce this very awesome giveaway, made possible by Screamin Daily Deals and The Blog Frog’s SoCal Family Connect community. 


Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away and that means the holiday season is upon us! This has been a difficult year for our great country and many of us are tightening up our budgets and spending more carefully. Even if your financial status hasn’t changed in 2010, I’d be willing to bet you know a family who has experienced job loss, bankruptcy, home loss and more.


Let’s get to the good part of this post – I have been given a full turkey or ham holiday dinner, made by the fine people at Bellemente Catering in Santa Clarita Valley, to GIVE AWAY!!! This is a $150 value and the winner gets it for FREE!


What I’m hoping is that people will enter this giveaway and of course, if they are in need, keep it for themselves – but if not, I hope that the winner will donate this fabulous meal to a family in need, or a local organization such as a shelter, half-way house, etc. Be creative and think of what you could do with this meal! I also hope this giveaway will spread awareness of Screamin Daily Deals and the great things they are doing for our local communities… on top of giving us killer deals!


Maybe this giveaway will inspire YOU to buy additional meals through Screamin Daily Deals and give them away! Spread the love this holiday season and feel good about your purchase contributing to local schools and non-profits as well. That’s the coolest thing about Screamin Daily Deals!


You can view the details of this holiday dinner here and remember this link is just to see the details of what the dinner includes – you do NOT have to buy the deal!


Here’s what you’ll get – Serves 8-10 people:
– Choose either a whole, roasted, unsliced turkey OR ham
– Salad
– Mashed potatoes
– Gravy
– Rolls
– Pumpkin pie


Here is the fine print:
– Does NOT have to be use for Thanksgiving or Christmas. This deal doesn’t expire until Feb 12, 2011 so you can use it any time before then if you are the winner
– Must place your order 72 hours in advance
– You must pick up the food in Santa Clarita or you can have it delivered within their delivery area for an additional fee
– They are closed on the actual holiday, so if you want this deal for Thanksgiving or Christmas, you will have to get/receive the food the day before and reheat for your holiday meal.


To enter the giveaway, please leave a separate comment for each entry. There are 7 different ways to enter and the first two are mandatory! This giveaway is a short one and will only run through midnight PST on Thursday, Nov 18, 2010:


1) Leave a comment and tell me what you would do with this meal if you win! (mandatory)
2) Register for Screamin Daily Deals – use this link & receive a $5 credit in your account! (mandatory)

Good luck and happy giving!

This mama is on the road all week in America’s Dairyland; Wisconsin. I have two shows behind me this stretch and four more to go before I head home for a day and a half.


Sadly, I’ll be missing my boyfriend’s birthday on the 12th and as always, I miss him and my little girl, Aubrey. The comedian does not live a glamorous life nor and easy one. I’m all screwed up on the time changes – especially since daylight savings just ended too – and I haven’t been exercising so I don’t feel so awesome right now. Tomorrow, I’ll get on that. I was bummed when I arrived at my hotel to find out the hotel gym is being remodeled right now. Boo!


But I do get to see the country and sometimes the world. Why, tomorrow I’ll be driving to the exciting town of Appleton, WI and then on to La Crosse, Superior and Platteville. WOOT!


It’s late – better get to bed. Big day of driving and luggage schlepping tomorrow.
