The fabulous Susan Getgood asked if I had a badge for the BOWLHER party that is only weeks away! I created this little 125×125 badge for my blog AND because Susan asked for one.
If you want to grab a badge for your blog, please help spread the word! The official Bowlher website is http://www.bowlher.com/

I may have mentioned that Wichita, Kansas is one of the coolest places on the planet.
Guy Kawasaki has realized that Wichita is one of the coolest places on earth! Wichita Kansas was selected as one of the cities to follow on Alltop.com, the best of the web!
I’ve blogged about the world famous Wichita Research Institute of Blog Fun before. As you know, I founded this research think tank with fellow mom bloggers and former Wichita residents Pundit Mom and ParentopiaDevra.
Some of you have mocked my claim that Wichita is the center of the universe . That’s why I wanted to blog about a recent example of the Six-Degrees-of-Separation between all cool things, people and my hometown. Dig if you will, one of the many reasons all coolness is touched by Wichita.
CarolinaPad.com
CarolinaPad creates THE coolest office and school supplies. CarolinaPad products are a must-buy on the school supply list—if you have a daughter or if you covet unique office/school supplies. These products are so hip, they have been featured on the TV show Greek, Oprah and a slew of other shows. Can you say, OMG? Finally, the CarolinaPad products have received the golden seal of coolness for all tween and teen girls: Miley Cyrus and Carrie Underwood use them!
I have personally spent a small fortune on CarolinaPad products over the years for myself and my daughters. I should seriously look into becoming a stockholder. My daughters and their friends love all of the brands and products from this company—–and I love ‘em too.
What does this have to do with Wichita?
Guess who is one of the senior designers at CarolinaPad? My dear friend Cathy Law---who was born in Hutchinson KS—which is pretty much Wichita and then spent part of her formative years in and around Wichita. I just found out a few days ago that my friend Cathy was working at CarolinaPad.
This case study of CarolinaPad is just one of MANY examples of how everything cool is related, somehow to Wichita. It’s simply a fact, people. You need to embrace it.
PS-You can visit the CarolinaPad online store to check out their fab stuff or check out their main website, CarolinaPad.com, to find their cool stuff in stores near you.

This is a picture of what five pounds of fat looks like. I am happy to say that I’ve lost TWO of these gross globs of fat on the JennyCraig program.
I’ve lost 10 pounds so far and I’m really motivated to stick with it. You can read about my progress with JennyCraig on my other blog, LaptopRoadTrip.com.
Here are some of my updates:

One of our favorite summer movies is Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. I wrote about this movie when it came out but the best movie blog on Planet Earth, Pajiba, has a list of all the best one liners from this award winning movie.
Best One Liners from Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
“Help me, Jesus! Help me, Tom Cruise! Tom Cruise, use your witchcraft to get the fire off me!”
“I can’t control my heart rate, I’ve got a cougar on me!”
“Dear Lord Baby Jesus, I want to thank you for this wonderful meal, my two beautiful son’s, Walker and Texas Ranger, and my Red-Hot Smokin’ Wife, Carley.”
“Chip, I’m gonna come at you like a spider monkey!”
“I hope you both have sons! And they have no legs! Then you can feel my pain, and my hurt!”
“DON’T YOU PUT THAT EVIL ON ME RICKY BOBBY”
“I’m gonna scissorkick you in the back of the head!”
“SHAKE AND BAKE!”
“If you ain’t first, you’re last.”
“I wanna go fast.”
“Drive it like you stole it.”
“If you don’t chew Big Red, then f**k you!”
“If we wanted wussy kids, we would have named them ‘Dr. Quinn’ and ‘Medicine Woman.’”
“Hakuna Matata, Bitches”.
“Nope, from now on it’s, Magic man…and El Diablo.”
“This sticker is inconvenient and dangerous, but I do like Fig Newtons.”
“I sent my application in to The Real World, and I’m pretty much putting all of my eggs in to that basket, the MTV basket.”
“If my MTV career doesn’t work out, I was thinking I’d start selling crack. I would be like a laid back crack dealer, though. Nothing too formal. I’d just be like ‘Hey boys, how’s it going? Want some crack?’”
Here is the link to the excellent review on Pajiba.com by Justin. If you want to laugh hard, read his review of Talladega Nights.

One of my God given talents is the ability to find weird websites. I published my list of weird and wonderful website links for you a few weeks ago. After I published my list, the sick & twisted loyal readers of this fine blog suggested some new websites to add to the list.
The Blog of Unnessary Quotation Marks
Postcards from Yo Momma (OMG, how could I have missed this website?)
Must See Weird and Wonderful Websites
If you haven’t checked out these websites, you have to right now! The links below were added to my list this summer and I want to make sure you see them, if you haven’t already. Warning: These websites are highly addictive.
PS-Shout out to my friend Rodney! The photo in this post is from IHateClowns.com, a website for people (like me and my friend Lori) who hate clowns. My favorite shirt says Can’t Sleep, Clowns Will Eat Me.

Getting arrested for throwing Cheetos at your significant other? THAT, my friends, is totally Whiskey Tango.
Authorities in Shelbyville, Tennesee reported a couple got into a fight using Cheetos. The Bedford County Sheriff’s Department said a 40-year-old man and 44-year-old woman became involved in a ‘verbal altercation.’ Somehow, the orange puffy snacks were used in the assault.
Deputies said they were charged with domestic assault. No one was hurt. According to the Shelbyville Times-Gazette, both posted bond of $2,500.
