Bumble Bee, #Blogher10 and a Tuna Salad

Thanks to Bumble Bee Tuna I will be attending Blogher ‘10  with the other BeeSquad Ambassadors! It’s a fabulous opportunity to represent a brand that I truly believe in and LOVE.

Bumble Bee impresses me the more I learn about them.  First for their commitment to healthy living and ending obesity with their alliance with  the Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation (HWCF) ….  and also for their efforts toward sustainability.

You know, good things that companies can do and should do and this one does already….

Just an all around good company.

I eat tuna several times a week, always have…and love that it’s an easy meal/snack to fix.

You also know that I’m a “fewer ingredients the better” (lazy) girl, and so I want to share my quick dinner / lunch/ midnight snack/ breakfast if you have to…recipe…my fave, and you will love it too.

This time I’m using the Bumble Bee in the pouch. These are handy to take on the run…AND MAYBE I CAN HAVE SOME IN MY ROOM AT BLOGHER FOR A SNACK #justsayin

It’s so easy to toss on a bed of greens (your choice).  Then I like to add about 1/4 – 1/3 can of white beans and top with ranch dressing mixed with some red wine vinegar.

I like to cut the dressings with a little extra vinegar because it reduces the calories and I LIKE VINEGAR *fishy lip face*.

Ok, so I’m learning to take fancy photos of food.  By Blogher hopefully they will look good!

Barbie Life: Barbie Goes to a Party!

Barbie was so excited the other day when she got the invitation to a party.  She’s very social you know.

*she brings fun just like Jenny brings glitter*

However it was a ….Backwards Party.  This confused Barbie a little because she barely has this frontwards thing down.

…she’s blond remember…

So she got on her fancy outfit..BACKWARDS…

Oh dear not the best look !

She put her nametag on with Barbie spelled backwards.  Not easy to do when your fingers don’t move huh?

Walking backwards proved to be tricky.  She was always running into something.

Then she remembered…..

Her head…

…can turn

…all the way around!

Barbie was the hit of the party from that point on.  She was voted Most Creative Use of Backwards at the event!!

And of course most beautiful …but that goes without saying…

The “Name That Inappropriate Photo Contest” lives on…

If you have ever read Mrs. Fussypants in the past, you are well aware of a fabulous funny feature on her blog.. Name That Inappropriate Photo Contest…

It totally rocked.

And she is giving it to me. (SQUEEE heard the world round)

Even though the shoes are hard to fill, I feel so special…almost like I’m receiving a diploma from the School of Mrs. Fussypants…

Or carrying the Mrs. Fussypants  Torch….

Or getting the keys to her car…which would be sweet unless her boys come with it ;) (I have enough kids thank you)

Um, Alli, can we talk about a little wax on those arms? heh…

She said I could have it, didn’t charge me a thing..she’s cool like that. She also told me not to mess with that poll thingy and just pick the winner from the comments.

So here is what you do.  Leave me a comment with the caption that best captures the essence of the photo.  That’s fancy writing for ” make me laugh “.  I’ll have my kids help with the contest, and even though they are old enough to see R rated movies, this is a clean blog  just sayin’…

Oh and keep it to 2 sentences or so…my kids have short attention spans….

Here we go, and I hope you likey…

I know! Me too..

Ok, let’s see what you come up with!!

And I have no idea what you win…bragging rights for now….I’ll figure something out!

Rite Aid: A Year’s Worth of Free Gas? No Beans Involved…

Rite Aid has a contest going on right now where you can win a year’s worth of gas. 

Um…

I had to read further.  It’s not that I’m ungrateful…but I’ve had 48 year’s worth of gas and now my dogs are so gassy we gave them their own room…ventilation not connected to the rest of the house.

It’s the only way we can survive.

I just got rid of the gassy ex-husband and I’m not looking to “fuel” the teens. 

So….Rite Aid, it’s really nice of you to offer, and I know you have a whole aisle devoted to handling gas issues…Beano, GasX…and this could be a real win for you…hope you sell bunches. 

Imagine…the guy in the cubicle next to the winner.   He’s a goner if he doesn’t keep something handy…thinking those bird flu masks might help?   The spouse…the kids… for sure they will stock up on those products just to be prepared for …Gasaggedon.

I hope you will re-think this for next year, and moving forward give away something that would beautify the world.
