OK - I haven't really been inspired AT ALL to blog lately.
But at the urging of my sister and Corrie and because I just laughed out loud with no one else around, I will post this.
My friend, Erin, writes one of the wittiest blogs I have ever read. AND she wrote a book, which I think is amazing and I want to be just like her someday. (Buy her book!)
Anyway, she has started adding advertisements to her blog. Just by clicking on them I am pretty much sending her money. Not bad, huh?
So I clicked on one this evening. It was to see if I would qualify for a grant to go back to school. But I didn't stop there. I actually went through all the questions. However, at the end they want all of your contact information, which I'm not too keen on giving out. (Besides...I apparently only qualified for one program - an online Master's of Education through Grand Canyon University (who?) with no financial aid. Totally bogus!)
So I just created myself a new internet identity. It's Schnookums McGee. I live at 501 Pleasant Way, in case you wanted to know.
The best part was at the very end when I submitted all of my information. The advertisement at the bottom said something like, "If you liked this, Schnookums, you might also like..." My computer called me Schnookums! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
This kind of sounds like the dumbest thing as I'm writing it, but I just found it hilarious.
Also - conundrum of the day: why do stores that sell skin care and make-up products have the worst lighting of all time? How do I know if that tinted moisturizer actually IS the right one? I walked around Sephora today looking in about a half-dozen different mirrors. All with very different yet equally horrible lighting. Baffling. The staff kept asking me if I needed help. I wanted to shout at them and say, "YES! Please help by creating a not lame environment for me to test your products, stupid!" So I didn't buy either moisturizer. I asked for samples of both and I'll test them in my own light. For cryin' out loud.
Today I'm thankful for a gift card that I found that I'd forgotten about and scripture study and my toothbrush.
My husband used to work at Grand Canyon University - they are a privately owned Christian school. :) (Actually they have more LDS members on their board then anything else. But I still wouldn't recommend getting a Masters through them.... there is a reason my husband left and went to work for a different school!).
ReplyDeleteI love that I am not the only one entertained by silly things!
I'm helping another girl out by clicking on her ads every day - my faves are the ones about pads for men. Just outstanding. They make my life so much better!
ReplyDeleteThanks for clicking! It's helping so much!
