Some Things I’ll Never Understand

- Why anyone would email me and pitch me on their site for swinging parents.  If I was a teenager and came home to find my mom and dad with another couple, oh forget it.. I can’t even think about it. Go ahead … call me a prude.

- Who would actually watch (or admit to watching) a Court TV show hosted by Star Jones Reynolds.  Seriously isn’t enough of our evenings filled with shows hosted by the likes of Nancy Grace and Greta Van Susteren… do we really need more?

- The thought behind giving my three and a half year old daughter a bottle of mauve jewel toned Anna Sui nail polish.  Did you think she wouldn’t try and give herself a pedicure… which means my hardwood floors would get one too!?

- Why people offer me coupon codes after I already did my online shopping on that site? It’s happened three times this week. Talk about having really bad timing. I am destined to always pay retail.

- What goes on in the mind of the bed and breakfast vacationer who purposely decides to stay at Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott’s Chateau La Rue in Temecula, CA. They may be Inn Love but anyone who stays there must just want something fun to do on a Friday night and they’ve exhausted every other option.  When I think Bed and Breakfast, I think owners who have been doing that for years and will make my stay pretty much better than decent.

- If there can be a Rice pudding delivery service, why hasn’t someone thought of a dessert delivery service a la Galaxy Cookies or a Kozmo but just for dessert. YUM!

Being Woken Up by a Potty Mouth Actor

Denis Leary woke me up this morning not the downpour of rain on my window.  It was his gosh darned trailer and crew for his FX channel drama and dark comedy, Rescue Me. (Um.. what did you think I was talking about? The man is married, people!!!!)

Outside my window with their loud generators, vans, walkie-talkies and potty mouth talk – my window!  No really. I open the curtain and boom there’s the door to one of the many trailers on both sides of my street. (Remind me in my next life to get an apartment not facing the street.)

Denis Leary Rescuing SomethingLast time I saw Denis Leary and his crew they were filming outside of the church that was used for the Sex and the City wedding shoot for Charlotte.  (But in the Sex and the City instance, Kristen Davis was outside her trailer in her rollers, chatting on her cell phone and not one potty mouth comment was heard.) 

That first day I saw Denis in his cream suit and cell phone attached to his ear throwing around expletives the way my son throws pieces of meat filled ravioli off the table of his high chair. And from that day forward he’s been known as Potty Mouth Denis Leary to me.

Speaking of my son, Lukie, he just woke up. He was standing on my window sill looking out at the noisemakers. Knocking on the window.  “Lukie, want a SAG card?”  “Lukie go outside and tell them you want to be an extra on their filthy FX drama.”  “Lukie tell them you want to be a baby super star with your little corkscrew hairdo.”  His response?  To just knock on the window and get excited that the rain was coming down.

*sigh* I’ll never be a showbiz mom.  There go my dreams for early retirement.

Cuts Like A Knife

You have got to be kidding me.  My ceramic knife’s blade broke in half.  The same ceramic knife I got in order to proudly support Breast Cancer research as I cut fruits, vegetables and boneless meats in the privacy of my kitchen.  The same ceramic knife that sells for $69 on Ming Tsai’s official website.  That’s right… the exact one I showed on WCBS and said it was fabulous… well it was… way back in, I don’t know… October! 
Kyocera Santoku Ceramic Knife before disaster

Now I have to eat my words and pan the Kyocera Special Edition 5.5” Santoku Ceramic Knife with an ergonomic pink-colored handle because it doesn’t even last a full five months before it breaks. Nice value, huh?

The Kyocera Special Edition 5.5” Santoku Ceramic Knife also receives extra special recognition for being the first company to get panned by me publicly.  Four and a half years ago when I started Savvy Mommy, I said I would only give props, but this turn of events really upsets me. 

Here starts the search for a new knife to cut some fruit and vegetables.  Who would have thought Kyocera “the largest and highest-quality manufacturer of ceramic knives and kitchen products in the world” wasn’t up to task.
