Now That's What I Call Product Innovation

I’m trying to become unbusy (yea, that’s a word) so that I have more time to share super cool things with you guys but there are just not enough hours in the day. I’m am counting down until the end of summer classes – only 8 more days! Some of these might be old news but I think they are hilarious and totally worth sharing!

First up – The Hands Free Whopper

I mean, eating can be really difficult, especially while giving a massage or tattooing, so BK is trying to make it easier for us.

               .

Next -- Remember Domino’s Pizza DVD?

Well now they've developed a “DomiCopter” that air delivers your pizza. How cool would it be if your job was to play with remote control helicopters all day?

          

Also -- Have you seen this ad?

Mom’s around the world might be mad, but personally, I think I’d enjoy a picnic with this guy :) I bought a bottle of Kraft Zesty Italian last week (I buy one every week but that’s besides the point).

This last one wasn't originally going to be a part of this post, but as I was reading through my blog roll this morning, I came across this little treasure on Runner Girl Eats:

Just in time for summer ladies! Hairy Leg Stockings! Direct from the website, “Super sexy, summertime anti-pervert full leg-of-hair stockings, essential for all young girls going out.”

As a marketer, I am totally impressed by the product innovation and branding campaign :)

Happy Hump Day folks! It’s almost FRIDAY!

An Apology, A New Car & A Mini-Vacation

Oops! 

It's only been a week and a half but I feel like I have been MIA from the blog for forever! I know it's a lame excuse but I've been crazy busy...like overwhelmed busy. Whose bright idea was it to take three classes this session and work full time and try to have some kind of personal life? 

So where did I leave off...

Did I tell you that Rhonda (Justin's car) has been giving us fits lately? She was an old bird - she's been driving around since 1998! A few trips ago, she rolled over 200,000 miles. On Justin's last trip home she decided to take a break somewhere near Cincinnati...in the middle of the highway...while in the fast lane. Luckily, I wasn't there. I would have FREAKED. OUT. Justin got her started and made it home, but we decided we couldn't risk it again....

 MEET TRAVIS...aka Trav the Rav

I headed down to Knoxville last Friday for some whirlwind car shopping. Justin did all of the pre-work and put together a formal document with all of the cars (year, mileage, features, safety) so that I could review them before we visited the car lots (he knows me so well!). We knew we wanted an SUV but we had to find one with good gas mileage (darn that 9 hour drive to Pittsburgh). 

We test drove a Ford Escape, a Jeep Compass, a Honda CR-V, and a Toyota RAV4....I might be forgetting one or two...it was a REALLY long day. We both loved the RAV4...so we bought it...TOGETHER! ...and I thought the printer was a big deal :) 

Some R & R was definitely needed after car shopping...SO. STRESSFUL...so we headed over to Crossville, TN to hang out with Justin's parents and escape reality for a couple of days. We stayed at the Wyndham Resort at Fairfield glade. It barely cleared 70 either day and we had lots of rain, but we still had an awesome time. We walked the many trails, hung out in the indoor jacuzzi, and ate food...a lot of food! It was a blast and it was so hard to head back to reality on Monday morning. I'm already counting down to the Fourth of July Holiday and more time off work :)

What have you been up to these past two weeks?

What are your vacation plans this summer?
