I know I have been absent from my blog. It has been a crazy couple of days. Truth be told, I haven’t even had time to check my email until tonight. I received a lot of email in my absence. I watched the little outlook bar as it read downloading 1 of 791 emails. Spammers love me!

July 19th, 2008 by Rose DesRochers · 2 Comments
How does your child make money for the summer if they are too young for a tradition summer job?
Some children deliver papers, other children babysit and some children participate in fundraisers like chocolate bar sales. Yesterday, on the way to pick up my son from his summer job we made a stop at the new dollar store that opened up. On our way out of the store we noticed a young girl selling chocolate covered almonds. She was asking people coming in and out of the bank if they would like to buy a box. I watched numerous people decline.

Mispronounced Words- Translation Tees
July 18th, 2008 by Rose DesRochers · 11 Comments
We are all guilty of mispronouncing a word from time to time. I was telling my son about the shocking Subway find where a Newyork magazine designer bit into his sub and found a knife sticking out. The little girl I provide respite care overheard the conversation and instead of saying “He noticed the knife, she said “He nudist.” (I don’t know if John is a nudist, but thankfully he found that knife. What a a frightening discovery.)

Pee and Poo Dolls-Potty humor
July 16th, 2008 by Rose DesRochers · 3 Comments
Leave it to a designer in Switzerland to design a poo doll. I’m not talking Winnie the Pooh either. Now your child can have their very own pee and poo doll. These stuffed dolls shaped like a drop of urine and a little poop were originally a project by 22 year-old Emma Megitt for her Masters of Design Thesis at Göteborg University. These dolls are described as cute, cuddly and unique. Well they are definitely unique.

Stop and smell the roses
July 16th, 2008 by Rose DesRochers · 5 Comments
“I never promised you a rose garden. Along with the sunshine, There’s gotta be a little rain sometimes.” I have experienced one of those days days when a song gets stuck in your head. Every since our tour of the rose garden yesterday I have been singing ” I never promised you a rose garden. Along with the sunshine, There’s gotta be a little rain sometimes.” Please make it stop.
I’d like to invite you to my recent trip to the “Rose Garden”. We all need a little break from our stressful days and believe me my days are stressful.

Polly Pocket Puppy goes down the hole
July 15th, 2008 by Rose DesRochers · 8 Comments
In yesterday’s post “The mp4 player takes a spin” I mentioned that I did something to the white puppy from Polly Pocket’s Magic Movin’ Ultimate Clubhouse. I didn’t say what though. Are you wondering what I did or has the title given it away?

On Tuesday July 8th, I received an unsolicited email from Maggie O’Neal. The email stated a disclaimer that it was for the named person’s use only, but the email did not address me by my first name. Maggie works for enCircle Media. (Encirclemedia.com)
enCircle Media is an online media company founded in 2007. I sent an inquiry to enCircle Media asking if it was practice for their company to send spam.

What not to do with your Mp4 player
What happens when a mp4 player meets with your washing machine and then your dryer? I can tell you that it is not a pretty picture. If you don’t believe me then see for yourself.
