Well I am sure most of you have thought that I had just dropped off the face of the planet right? It sure has felt like it for the past few weeks, I have been so busy packing, cleaning, painting, moving, unpacking, repacking, moving stuff to storage and moving from the tip top of Arkansas to the middle of the tip top of Louisiana. I swear it is amazing I still have a head on my shoulders and that it is turned in the right direction. Top all of that off with the fact that Internet access has been limited for the past week and well you have once crazy momma.
We finally got the net turned on here at Mike's Granny's house. I didn't know I could miss something so 'mundane' as the Internet but oh-mi-gosh I missed it.
I hope to be back in the full swing of things here soon. So if you can bare withe me for just a few more days and let me get my Internet legs back under me I promise to post more often. I have some great reviews and products I have found over the past few weeks that I am dieing to share with you. There is also a restaurant or two and even a grocery store chain that I just have to brag about. =) See you get it all here.
Tootles for now! I am off to enjoy the glorious invention of the Internet.

Chloraspetic Review
There is probably nothing worse to ruin the last bit of summer and the first few weeks of school then a sore throat. Between parents hollering across pools to call kids in for the day, camp counselors trying to get hundreds of kids to listen up, kids themselves hooping and hollering as they play, summer allergies and colds the chance for a sore throat are actually pretty good.
So what to do for a sore throat when it's not that serious and you don't want to shell out the money for a doctors visit? I know in our house we turn to Chloraspetic.
I have been a huge Chloraspetic fan and avid user since childhood. They have come a long way with flavors since then. You use to only be able to get this green or red sore throat spray that would gag you as a kid. Now days you can get the spray in a great grape flavor that most kids will love.
Their sore throat spray for kids is safe for use with children over the age of three, a great relief in the days where most medicine that you can get over the counter isn't, because it does not contain aspirin, sugar or alcohol.
However if your child is anything like I was when I was younger getting them to keep their tongue down so you can get the back of the throat can be a major pain in the rear. To this day my father is still the only one who can spray my throat with Chloraseptic and get it where it needs to be. I am sure life would have be easier on him had their Chloraseptic Max Wild Berry or Total Wild Cherry Liquid Lozenges been around. I know they have made my life as a mother to a nine year old drama queen much easier.
You can't get any stronger throat lozenges without a prescription. The lozenges provide fast acting relief for sore throat and mouth pain and the liquid filled center is great at cooling nasal passages. They aren't for use with children under the age of six unless your doctor recommends it.
Don't fear though Chloraseptic has something for the strong willed child who is under six and won't keep their mouth open and tongue down. Their Chloraseptic Sore Throat spray for Kids is also available in the same great grape flavor as Relief Strips. If you have never tried the strips they are awesome. You place them on the tongue and they dissolve away in seconds.
You can find Chloraseptic products at any drug store, dollar store, or super center near you. And their prices are always budget friendly, something that is important to me and lots of you other parent's out their in todays economy.
Do you use Chloraseptic? If so what's your favorite product of theirs and if you don't use it which one do you think you or your children would like best?

EdenFantays High Intensity Bullet
Warning! This post will be adult in nature and will contain things about sex and self gratification. If you aren't comfortable with this subject feel free to come back tomorrow for another great review. But if I have your curiosity peaked please read on!
If you have been here since the beginning then you know I am a huge fan of EdenFantasys. In the past I have talked about their great lingerie products, fetish section and even some great sensual products.
Today I want to talk to you about a serious 'me' time product. Now I am all about a great romp in the sack with my man. In fact I love doing the wild monkey dance as often as we can but there are just some nights or days where I don't have the energy to go through all the moves to get what I want. Hey if a man can want sex to just get his jollies off by God so can a woman.
Over the years I have tried several 'me' toys but none that work as well as EdenFantasys High Intensity Bullet.
The High Intensity Bullet (from here on out lovingly known as HIB) is made of a non-porous plastic that has a light velvety feel to it. It isn't bendable and is solely designed for clitoral stimulation. The HIB has three speeds that can easily be changed by a push of that little green button on the end. It runs on a N size battery and last for a while. The HIB is also waterproof, great for those frisky nights in the shower or hot tub and is only 3 1/4" long. With it being so small in size it's great to take with you anywhere you travel without having to worry about being totally embarrassed.
When I first received my HIB I was a little unsure how big of a punch something so small might actually give. While I love intercourse and penetration I need clitoral stimulation to get me the, climbing the walls and waking up the neighbors kind of climaxing. So as you can imagine the promise of a high intensity bullet had me really hyped. First thing I did when opening the package was try out the HIB on the tip of my nose and wow, can we say intense.
Now I can here you saying, "Say what! She did what to her what with the HIB", just hear me out though. The tip of nose is just as sensitive as your clit because of the nerve endings. While holding a vibrator to your nose won't get you off it will give you a pretty good idea of how intense the vibrations are going to be on the most sensitive of areas.
The lowest setting, when you first turn it on, is great for a warm up and tease session. It's perfect for me because very rarely do I want to reach a mind blowing climax withing the first few minutes of 'me' time. The green on switch is perfectly located so you don't loose any time or wonderful vibration sensations between settings which makes switching to the second level of vibrations a breeze.
The second level is intense enough to do the job the HIB is made for. In fact if you are just wanting a quickie 'me' time you could easily skip setting one and go to setting two and within mere minutes reach that euphoric heavenly bliss state. The third setting is intense enough to have even me climbing the walls in a few seconds. Honestly I could see were if you didn't like a lot of clitoral stimulation that setting three may be a bit to much to handle. It comes to down to personal preference there. For us, mainly me, setting three is the sugar sprinkles and the icing on the cake. Trust me when I say that the HIB lives up to its name when it says high intensity.
The only gripe I have about my sweet HIB is the noise level. It is quiet loud, especially when used out in the open (as in no covers to muffle the sound) and isn't being applied to the clit. When actually in place the fact that it is making contact with something (hey you can use it on so much more than your clit!) helps to bring the noise level down a bit and when used under covers or during sex the noise is muffled quiet well.
Speaking of using it on other things beside your clit. Mike loves it when I use it on him. Ladies if you have never tried using a bullet on your man then I suggest you do so and I highly suggest using this one. The shaft or base of the penis is the perfect spot and will make most men go nuts. If you are really adventurous try using it around the scrotum, from what I can gather from Mike, to them it's almost as good as what a great clitoral stimulation feels like for us. You can also use the HIB on your perineum during intercourse for some great sensations and it's also great for breast/nipple play.
I have had my HIB for a few months now and don't know how I ever lived without one. If you are looking for the next thing to spice up shenanigans in bed or the newest addition to your toy collection I really suggest purchasing a High Intensity Bullet. It's a great product for a great price.

Book Review: The Canary List by Sigmund Brouwer
I recently received a copy of Sigmund Brouwer's The Canary List from Blogging for Books. Y'all let me tell you this book grabbed me from the first chapter and didn't let me go till it ended seventy-eight chapters later.
From the back cover:
Speaking of plot, wow! From about the middle you know something is up but unless you are a Thelma (Scooby-Doo chic) the something that is up is really going to take you by surprise. At first I wasn't to thrilled with the ending but after some reflection I don't think there could have been a better way to end the book.
Although The Canary List is labeled religious fiction a non-religious person could also easily this book and not feel preached at. It reads more like a conspiracy theory than anything else. Which I loved by the way.
Overall I give this book a 4 star rating. If you have read and liked Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code then you will love this lighter but just as intriguing novel.
*Disclaimer- I received a copy of this book from WaterBrook through their Blogging for Books program for the express purpose of reviewing. No monetary gains were received and all thoughts and opinions are my own.
From the back cover:
Protected by the dark of night Jaimie Piper runs. But is anywhere safe when evil is hunting you?
She's just a twelve-year-old girl, bumped around between foster homes and relegated to school classes for challenged kids,those lagging in their test scores or with behavioral issues. But her real problem is that she can sense something the other kids can't-- something dark. Something compelling her to run for her life.
All Crockett Grey wants is to mark the anniversary of his daughters death alone.
But when his student Jaimie comes to him, terrified, her need for protection collides with his grief, and a tangled web of bizarre events sends them both spiraling toward destruction.
Crockett's one hope of getting his life back is to uncover the mysterious secrets of Jaimie's past and her strange gift. It isn't long before his discoveries lead him to a darker conspiracy, secrets guarded by the highest seat of power in the world-- the Vatican.
My thoughts:
From the very beginning Sigmund grabs your attention with a compelling prologue involving a young boy and girl who are being abused and made to take part of dark rituals by robed hooded men.
The story quickly develops as you meet Jaimie, who is on the run from Evil, and Mr. Grey, who is partaking in his annual ritual of drowning his sorrows over his daughters death in a bottle of Laphroaig.
Sigmund's development of the characters is flowing and well thought out. Each character is strong making this awesome story plot even better.
Speaking of plot, wow! From about the middle you know something is up but unless you are a Thelma (Scooby-Doo chic) the something that is up is really going to take you by surprise. At first I wasn't to thrilled with the ending but after some reflection I don't think there could have been a better way to end the book.

F U Friday
It's that time again. The time of the week where we can let loose and vent about whatever is bothering us this week. To make it more fun you can link up with J from Boobies, Babies and a Blog and with Christy from My Mad Mind the great hostesses of F U Friday.
My fawk you goes to one and only one person this week. If you stopped by on Monday then you saw this post about us going to Baton Rouge.
The field of work Mike is in requires that he works through recruiters to pursue other jobs. Basically he reworks his resume post it on websites dedicated to his field and recruiters from different companies (some work with more than one) browse this website and make calls according to what is on the resume.
A good recruiter can make or break your job search. He is the in between man. The one that you tell what you will and won't accept as an offer from a company, where you are and aren't willing to relocate to, whether you are wanting strictly full time direct hire positions or contract to hire work. They will also be the ones to negotiate into your offer a relocation package or sign on bonus.
A good recruiter will also listen to what you say, take it to heart and work within your perimeters.
This is what a good recruiter does and a good recruiter is worth his weight in gold. The recruiter we have been working with is not a good recruiter. In fact he's what I would call a very bad recruiter.
When we were first contacted via our recruiter, from here on out known by the initials SL, for the company in Baton Rouge he told us they were mainly looking for contract to hire workers. SL said they were offering a lot of money for contract work and wanted to know if we were interested. While the money is nice contract work is not something a man with a family wants to take the chance on in this economy. You never know for sure if you will be hired at the end of the contact or if the contract be terminated in the middle of it. So Mike told SL no in no uncertain terms that we weren't interested in contract to hire.
SL calls back in a few weeks and said the company is willing to look at Mike as a direct hire. So we proceeded with the first phone interview. Then after that comes the money talk. We tell him what are base salary is that we will move for. Less than that and we aren't going to take any offer given. Nothing against the company but we aren't going to take a paycut no matter how much closer to home we get. Mike also tell's SL that unless we are given a certain amount for relocation we also will not take the job. We can't afford to move 700 miles or so south without a bit of help and it's not like we are hurting for a job. If the company really wants us they will pay.
*In Mike's field it is common to get relocation packages and even sign on bonuses*
SL talks with the company and calls us back and tells us that are base is not a problem. So Mike proceeds to phone interview number two.
A few more weeks pass by with several calls to and from SL confirming money and such. Then Mike is asked to come to Baton Rouge for a final face to face interview. We discuss the implications of a 700 mile trip that was unplanned but decided we do really want this job and agree to the interview. Basically we firmly planted ourselves in the we are moving and getting a new job area of life.
So we make the 7 hour trip to the in-laws were we hang out for a few days before we make the 4 hour trip to Baton Rouge so Mike can interview.
So far so good right.
This is where things get a little fishy and we realize what an idiot the recruiter really is.
During the interview the director of the company ask Mike if he really feels that confident in his abilities to leave a secure job for a contract to hire one in today's economy. Mike takes a second then tells him while he has every confidence in his abilities he doesn't have the confidence in the economy. The director liked the answer but looked confused and stated that he asked because he wasn't sure why Mike was taking such a chance. Now it was Mike's turn to be confused. After talking it out come to find out this company only does contract to hire. That the SL had lead us own in the aspect of they were willing to look at us as a direct hire.
Thankfully the director liked Mike enough that he told him if the company wasn't interested in him as a direct hire they would not pursue him any more. Well we are guessing they are interested in and are going to make an exception because Mike talked to every single director, manger, CIO and head-honcho of the company by the time the 4 1/2 hour interview was done.
Mike left the interview on very high marks and everything is up in the air for a few days but we are hopefull.
Then as Mike calls SL to update him on the interview SL admits that he knew the company was only interested in contract to hire but had a 'feeling' that they would. This man took a gamble with our money and time on a feeling and lied to us about it. Then, THEN, he tells Mike that the money may not come in where Mike wanted it, in fact it might come in under, by a few thousand. SL also knew this tid bit of information BEFORE we went 700 freaking miles for an interview. Yet again SL is messing around with our money and time.
It is over and done with now and all Mike and I can do is pray that the company liked Mike enough to do a direct hire, pay him what we want and offer a relocation package.
But either way it goes I want to say a big FAWK YOU to SL for lying to us. For putting us in a position that needless jeopardized summer vacation plans. Granted it may all work out in the in but I am still mad on principal. This man straight up lied to us hoping that we would take a contract to hire or take less money just so he could get his cut. In my eyes SL is no better than a cars salesman.

Marble Slab Creamy Review
I don't usually do food reviews. But I had the most amazing ice cream yesterday wall at the Mall of Louisiana and had to share it's yummy goodness with you.
If you have the good forutne of having a Marble Slab Creamy near you and haven't yet taken the time to stop in I have one question for you. What in the hell are you waiting for!!!
I am not kidding, stop right now and go get some. Well wait don't go just yet, finish reading what I have to say first then grab your shoes, purse, money, keys and kids head to the nearest one and devour a small piece of heaven on earth.
What makes Marble Slab different from your average ice cream shop can be found in their name. Marble Slab comes from the "frozen slab" they use to cut and mix the ice cream on.
When you first walk in your senses are assaulted with the smells of gourmet ice cream, fresh baked waffle cones and all the goodies they can add to the ice cream. Then comes the hard parts. Choosing which of the amazing flavors you want to eat. They have you classic chocolate, vanilla, bubble gum, and so on. But they also have gourmet flavors that will knock your socks off. Like butter pecan, cheesecake, chocolate amaretto, mint and my new personal favorite red velvet.
Yes you read that right, I said red velvet. As in red velvet cake as in the best tasting sweet in the universe. Somehow they manage to get the taste of the best cake ever made, frosting and all, mixed into this decadent red ice cream. I am telling y'all it's the best thing since sliced bread.
Then after choosing your flavor you get to choose your mixin. This can be anything from sprinkles to gummy bears to fresh strawberries. For a complete list of mixin goodness head here to their Menu page and click on mixins.
Go ahead and look I'll wait on you to come back.
Isn't that a scrumptious list, I can assure you it is even more scrumptious in person when all arranged neatly behind a glass counter in glass jars. It makes you feel a little like Charlie in the candy store on Willy Wonka.
I have had the great pleasure of trying their birthday cake, which really taste like birthday cake in a cup, classic vanilla, double chocolate, butter pecan and the red velvet I mentioned earlier and have yet to be disappointed by a single one. Marble Slab truly is a king amongst ice cream shops and you need to try some as soon as you can if for no other reason than I said so. If that isn't a good enough reason do it because you deserve to treat yourself to the best ice cream ever just once in life.

When you first walk in your senses are assaulted with the smells of gourmet ice cream, fresh baked waffle cones and all the goodies they can add to the ice cream. Then comes the hard parts. Choosing which of the amazing flavors you want to eat. They have you classic chocolate, vanilla, bubble gum, and so on. But they also have gourmet flavors that will knock your socks off. Like butter pecan, cheesecake, chocolate amaretto, mint and my new personal favorite red velvet.
Yes you read that right, I said red velvet. As in red velvet cake as in the best tasting sweet in the universe. Somehow they manage to get the taste of the best cake ever made, frosting and all, mixed into this decadent red ice cream. I am telling y'all it's the best thing since sliced bread.
Then after choosing your flavor you get to choose your mixin. This can be anything from sprinkles to gummy bears to fresh strawberries. For a complete list of mixin goodness head here to their Menu page and click on mixins.
Go ahead and look I'll wait on you to come back.
Isn't that a scrumptious list, I can assure you it is even more scrumptious in person when all arranged neatly behind a glass counter in glass jars. It makes you feel a little like Charlie in the candy store on Willy Wonka.

I have had the great pleasure of trying their birthday cake, which really taste like birthday cake in a cup, classic vanilla, double chocolate, butter pecan and the red velvet I mentioned earlier and have yet to be disappointed by a single one. Marble Slab truly is a king amongst ice cream shops and you need to try some as soon as you can if for no other reason than I said so. If that isn't a good enough reason do it because you deserve to treat yourself to the best ice cream ever just once in life.
